In our view this was long overdue, giving American's freedom of choice when it comes to investment of retirement funds simply makes sense. We're no longer talking about a small asset class, the crypto ecosystem as a whole is worth nearly $4 trillion and Bitcoin is the 6th most valuable asset in the world. What this means: Retirement dollars are some of the stickiest capital out there due to passive automated investing. When crypto becomes allocatable in retirement accounts, even with a 1% cumulative allocation amongst savers would more than double the ETF flows into Bitcoin and Ethereum we have seen so far. **2\.** [**White House Releases National Digital Assets Strategy**](https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Digital-Assets-Report-EO14178.pdf) This 166 page report is quite the shift for both individuals and businesses using and building with crypto assets in America. "American citizens and businesses should be able to own digital assets and use blockchain technologies for lawful purposes without fear of prosecution. Likewise, American entrepreneurs and software developers should have the liberty, and regulatory certainty, to upgrade all sectors of our economy using these technologies." What this means: Green light for builders. The infrastructure was slowly being built in the background the last 5 years, and now it's primed. With regulatory clarity and a push to make the USA the capital of crypto, the stars are definitely aligning for a big shift in bringing finance and other sectors onchain into a more fair, accessible, lower cost, and trustworthy system. **3\.** [**CFTC Greenlights Move Toward Listed Spot Crypto Trading**](https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/9105-25) Regulators across agencies realize they are behind, and now it's time to play catch up. The CFTC just kicked off a public comment period to allow spot crypto trading directly on regulated futures exchanges. We’re about to see the rails get laid for spot trading inside existing regulated venues, across the board from exchanges, to market makers, to custodians and brokers. This is how crypto becomes fully integrated into global capital markets. **4\.** [**Bitcoin Volatility Has Dropped Sharply Post-ETF Launch**](https://x.com/EricBalchunas/status/1952346941523701954https://x.com/EricBalchunas/status/1952346941523701954) This is yet another sign of Bitcoin maturing right before our eyes. While BTC's volatility continues to drop, returns have remained well above other asset classes. This will be something to keep an eye on going forward. **5\.** [**SEC Confirms Liquid Staking Isn’t a Security**](https://x.com/watcherguru/status/1952785359152058815?s=46&t=JUYSrP29vlW13wGOC03vIw) A gray area for years, the SEC confirmed what crypto natives have long believed: liquid staking is NOT a security. This unlocks one of the most important primitives in crypto, free market yield generation while protecting blockchain networks via validating. Builders now know they’re clear to ship, and users know they’re safe to participate. One of the biggest regulatory overhangs in DeFi has been cleared, perhaps even clearing the way for liquid staking in Ethereum ETFs soon. * * * #### **The INDX crypto fund** helps you invest in the best of crypto with a single click.
