Clarity Act is crypto's do-or-die catalyst
The Clarity Act is the last major piece of crypto legislation, providing legal clarity on digital assets. Its passage faces political headwinds from Trump's financial disclosures but still has a narrow window in July or possibly September. If not passed before the August recess, it is effectively dead for the year, making it a key binary catalyst for crypto markets.

Contrarian roll-up IPO improving software assets
Bending Spoons is a contrarian bet that buys existing struggling software companies, bundles them, and improves them, likened to private equity combined with Google. The IPO is attracting strong investor appetite as a creative model in the tech space.
