JUST IN: Senator Cynthia Lummis introduces mortgage reform bill to recognize crypto assets in home loan eligibility assessments. — Watcher.Guru (@WatcherGuru) July 29, 2025 “The American dream of homeownership is not a reality for many young people,” Lummis said this week. “This legislation embraces an innovative path to wealth-building, keeping in mind the growing number of young Americans who possess digital assets.

When President Donald Trump took office earlier this year, bitcoin (BTC) was at an all-time high, and the crypto industry was euphoric. Now, just over six weeks later, reality has set in. Plotting specific metrics on a graph shows an avalanche of downward trendlines toward recession. Protos has compiled a chart of major assets, indices, and metrics relevant to any investor since the day Trump became president for the second time, proving it would have been better to have bought the rumor and sold the news of Trump’s ostensibly pro-crypto administration. Niche sectors within crypto have performed particularly poorly but macro metrics like unemployment have also suffered. Since Inauguration Day, crypto’s combined market cap has declined $800 billion, while BTC has lost nearly one-third of its value, plummeting from an all-time high of just over $108,000 on January 20 to a little over $75,000 early on Monday .

VanEck chief executive Jan van Eck is outlining what he thinks will be the biggest milestone for the crypto sector in 2025. While speaking with Anthony Pompliano at Bitcoin Investor Week, Van Eck argues that stablecoins are the most interesting part of the digital asset world. The CEO praises the stablecoin legislation working its way through the Senate, but he also says he’s worried US banking regulators will try to kill the bill or “say you have to be a bank to issue a stablecoin.” Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) introduced the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act in February. The legislation, which aims to establish regulatory clarity for stablecoins, passed out of the Senate Banking Committee earlier this month. Van Eck also thinks there’s a “big opportunity” with tokenization. “If Hester Peirce and the SEC do what they say they’re going to do… I don’t think we ...
