Winners and Losers of the U.S. CLARITY Act—If Passed This second part examines the implications of the CLARITY framework for DeFi and examines the investment case for potential winners and losers if the act is implemented (see the first part here and our report from January 18). While there are clear structural beneficiaries, the outcome is not limited to a single winner. At the same time, investors should keep an eye on the emerging headwinds that could shape the broader landscape. The latest CLARITY proposal effectively ends the stablecoin-as-savings-product narrative. While revenue sharing remains permitted, passing yield on to end users is effectively prohibited. Coinbase can continue to monetize USDC, but it loses its most powerful growth lever, offering yield to users, thereby representing a structural headwind for its distribution model. At the same time, Circle now bears the burden of demonstrating that its arrangements constitute legitimate profit-sharing rather than yield circumvention, introducing increased legal risk, potential contract restructuring, and ongoing regulatory scrutiny. At its core, this is about control over money markets. Stablecoins are being defined strictly as payment instruments rather than interest-bearing assets, effectively ringfencing yield within banks and regulated vehicles such as money market funds and ETFs (e.g., IQMM). This represents a clear re-centralization of yield. Read the full reports to understand who wins — and who gets structurally left behind.

Circle vs. Coinbase: The Battle for Stablecoin Economics Has BegunCircle just recorded its largest single-day decline, falling 20%. Some investors are pointing to the CLARITY Act as a growing risk for stablecoin issuers, while others see it as a structural opportunity. In this two-part report (second part will be published later today), we break down both sides of the debate and outline how investors can position accordingly and what it means for DeFi and various crypto currencies. In our January 18, 2026, report, “Why the Clarity Act Creates a Structural Winner (and a Structural Loser),” we outlined what was at stake for Coinbase and why the bill initially stalled. We argued that Circle supports a federal stablecoin framework because it provides institutional legitimacy to USDC, even if it limits certain short-term “reward” mechanisms. For Circle, regulatory clarity is not a cost but a strategic upgrade, enabling broader institutional adoption, global settlement use cases, and deeper integration with the traditional financial system. This dynamic places Circle and Coinbase on opposite sides of a classic trade-off. Coinbase’s economics are optimized for near-term earnings through yield-bearing balances, while Circle’s upside is driven by long-term valuation expansion through compliance, scale, and balance sheet credibility. Under a federal regime, Circle may give up part of a highly profitable distribution model, but in return, it gains something more durable: regulatory permanence. We concluded that this divergence would likely drive relative performance, with Circle positioned to outperform Coinbase. Back then, trading volumes were still subdued, Coinbase had limited fundamental tailwinds, while Circle stood to benefit directly from regulatory clarity and growing institutional demand. Against this backdrop, a long Circle vs. short Coinbase trade remained a compelling relative-value expression. Two months later, and despite a recent ~20% overnight pullback, Circle is still up +29% since our January 18 report, while Coinbase has declined by -25%, reinforcing this thesis. Circle shares remain up +63% since our February 20 report, where we anticipated that the upcoming earnings release would trigger a short squeeze, which subsequently played out. Another key development (for Circle) we highlighted on February 21 was the launch of the ProShares GENIUS Money Market ETF (IQMM). As this is a longer research report, we have divided it into two parts. The first revisits our long Circle vs. short Coinbase thesis, assessing whether the trade remains valid and whether current levels present an opportunity to add. We also outline a probability framework around the revenue-sharing agreement, which could materially reshape Circle’s margins and, by extension, its valuation. 1) Read our arguments and how we would position ourselves around Circle and Coinbase for Part One below, while 2) Part Two examines emerging headwinds for Circle and the broader impact of the CLARITY framework on DeFi, including the opportunities and structural shifts already beginning to unfold.

(Micro)Strategy’s STRC Engine — How Much Bitcoin Demand Can It Realistically Generate? Strategy’s STRC issuance program has quickly evolved from a niche funding tool into one of the most important marginal drivers of its Bitcoin accumulation strategy. While much of the market focuses on the headline issuance capacity, the more relevant question is how much capital STRC can realistically generate under actual market conditions, and what that implies for Bitcoin demand. At a theoretical level, Strategy has created a very large funding runway.

10x Volatility Edge — Bitcoin Downside Risk: Overpriced Panic or Still Underestimated? Bitcoin implied volatility has sharply repriced higher, yet the term structure and skew are telling a more nuanced story. The charts show a clear shift: traders are no longer positioned for upside breakouts, but are increasingly hedging for downside into key expiries. At the same time, the concentration of open interest around specific strikes is starting to matter again. The options market is quietly building a framework where certain levels could act as magnets, or accelerants, depending on how spot reacts. What’s interesting is that despite this defensive positioning, realized volatility remains relatively contained. That tension between what is priced and what is realized has historically created some of the best trading opportunities. Ethereum is showing a similar pattern, but with subtle differences that may matter more than most realize. The key question now: is the market overpaying for downside risk, or is this just the early stage of a larger move? We break down what the options market is really signaling, how positioning has shifted versus last week, and the exact trade setup that best captures this asymmetry.

The charts show a clear shift: traders are no longer positioned for upside breakouts, but are increasingly hedging for downside into key expiries.

At the same time, the concentration of open interest around specific strikes is starting to matter again.

The options market is quietly building a framework where certain levels could act as magnets, or accelerants, depending on how spot reacts.

What’s interesting is that despite this defensive positioning, realized volatility remains relatively contained.

That tension between what is priced and what is realized has historically created some of the best trading opportunities.

Ethereum is showing a similar pattern, but with subtle differences that may matter more than most realize.

The key question now: is the market overpaying for downside risk, or is this just the early stage of a larger move?

We break down what the options market is really signaling, how positioning has shifted versus last week, and the exact trade setup that best captures this asymmetry.

Gold has corrected by roughly 20% and is now testing our first key support at $4,333. If this level fails, the next meaningful support sits near $3,486, around $850 lower, highlighting the downside risk if macro pressures persist. Two weeks ago, we flagged that interest rate expectations could shift from cuts to hikes as inflation risks re-emerge, and this is now increasingly reflected in both market pricing and central bank rhetoric. Several central banks have turned more hawkish, signaling concern about rising inflation and the need to anchor expectations, while the Fed remains relatively dovish, for now, creating a growing disconnect. In our latest cross-asset work, we emphasized that while real yields have historically been the key driver of gold, an overlooked macro dynamic is now distorting price behavior on both the upside and downside. Central bank demand has been a major structural support, with global purchases reaching 863 tonnes in 2025, still historically elevated despite a modest slowdown. Notably, the UAE sharply increased its gold reserves by nearly 65%, while Turkey, Azerbaijan, and other regional players also remained active buyers. However, the current geopolitical backdrop may temporarily constrain further accumulation. With the Iran conflict evolving and reserve dynamics shifting, some central banks likely have less flexibility to continue aggressively adding gold, even as U.S. debt levels continue to rise. Looking ahead, the longer-term de-dollarization trend, diversifying reserves away from the U.S. dollar, remains intact and should continue to support gold once a bottom is established. A clear technical reversal is still required before a more constructive stance is warranted. In our oil report, focused on rising inflation expectations, we highlighted that the S&P 500’s next key support lies around $6,200.

Has Bitcoin Already Bottomed vs. Other Assets — And When Does the Real Bull Market Begin? Bitcoin remains in a bear market according to one of our key indicators, which already signaled a regime shift in October 2025, when prices were trading around $110,000–$112,000. However, beneath the surface, conditions are beginning to change. While roughly $25 billion exited Bitcoin in February, recent flow dynamics appear less punitive, suggesting that selling pressure is becoming exhausted. On a relative basis, compared to other macro assets, Bitcoin may already be entering a new bull phase, with an absolute bull market potentially only weeks or months away. At the same time, traders are showing little urgency to hedge downside risk, indicating a much cleaner positioning backdrop. This shift could have meaningful implications for Bitcoin’s next move. There are notable parallels to 2022, and for those focused on the right signals, the conditions marking the definitive end of this bear market are already taking shape. In this report, we outline the key catalysts, when the cycle low is likely to occur, and the price levels that matter most. https://update.10xresearch.com/p/has-bitcoin-already-bottomed-vs-other-assets-and-when-does-the-real-bull-market-begin

Gold Is Breaking the Old Playbook - Is This the Dip to Buy? The real question is whether this move marks the end of the bull market… or the setup for the next leg higher. For decades, gold followed a clear rule: higher real yields meant lower prices. That relationship quietly broke in 2024, as gold continued to rise despite elevated rates. What changed was not just price action, but the underlying structure of demand. A shift in global reserves, accelerating central bank accumulation, and a growing perception of the U.S. dollar as a source of political risk have started to redefine how gold is priced. At the same time, strong physical demand out of Asia has pushed gold through key levels that previously capped rallies. Meanwhile, markets began positioning for rate cuts following weaker economic data, even as those cuts were delayed, creating a tension between current policy and future expectations that continues to influence gold’s trajectory. With global debt now exceeding $315 trillion, gold is increasingly being treated not as a commodity, but as a strategic asset in a system where confidence in fiat currencies is slowly being reassessed. 👉 The key question is what this means for positioning now, and whether this correction is risk… or opportunity.
