We discuss Japan’s bond market turmoil, the advancing CLARITY Act and the fight over developer freedom, why self-custody is increasingly becoming a civil liberties issue, MARA’s massive Bitcoin sale and pivot into AI infrastructure, renewed discussions around privacy in Bitcoin, and what these trends reveal about the future of money, sovereignty, and financial freedom.
