3. The wind of crypto assets has blown into the US real estate industry
On Wednesday local time, the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), Pulte, posted on social media: "After in-depth research and following President Trump's vision of making the U.S. the 'cryptocurrency capital', today I ordered Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to begin preparations to classify cryptocurrency as a qualifying asset for mortgage applications." This directive marks a significant potential shift in the asset review standards for assessing mortgage qualification, supported by the U.S. government, and is consistent with the Trump administration's established goal of promoting cryptocurrency in the U.S. Click to read.

This is even more true if you don't have a good credit history. Click to read.
5. Don't doubt it, the main upward wave has really come.
On June 24, influenced by the unexpected ceasefire agreement between Israel and Palestine, NYMEX crude oil futures plummeted by 6% during the session, dipping to $64 per barrel, nearly erasing all the gains from the current round of geopolitical conflicts. Meanwhile, global stock markets collectively surged, with Bitcoin jumping nearly 5% during the session, completely recovering all the losses from this round of geopolitical turmoil. However, the market's rebound did not eliminate cautious sentiment. For example, during the process of ETH rebounding 16% from its low, its funding rate remained in negative territory for an extended period, and the degree of negativity is still expanding, indicating that investors maintain a strong defensive mindset against a potential second dip.
