Rootstone's Market Round Up

╰ President Trump’s executive order allows 401(k) plans to invest in crypto, unlocking $9T in potential capital.

╰ Markets responded enthusiastically, driving Bitcoin toward $122,000 and pushing Ethereum to its strongest levels since December 2021.

╰ Roman Storm, co-developer of Tornado Cash, was convicted for operating an unlicensed money transmitting business; more serious money laundering and sanctions charges ended in a partial mistrial.

╰ ETH crosses $4,000 for the first time since December 2024, driven by ETF inflows and corporate buying.
