According to @QCompounding, a constructive outlook for crypto markets is forming for the second half of the year, driven by an improved macroeconomic backdrop and key regulatory progress. A report from Coinbase Research highlights that stronger U.S. growth, indicated by the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow tracker jumping to 3.8%, coupled with expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, is fueling positive sentiment for Bitcoin (BTC). The report suggests BTC is poised to benefit from these tailwinds, as well as its inflation protection narrative. Meanwhile, regulatory developments such as the GENIUS Act for stablecoins and the CLARITY Act are expected to provide much-needed legal certainty. A major catalyst for traders is the SEC's review of over 80 crypto ETF applications, with some rulings anticipated as early as July. In parallel, the report notes that Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization has surpassed the proof-of-concept phase, with over $20 billion in assets already on-chain, backed by major institutions like BlackRock and KKR. Key drivers for RWA growth include maturing blockchain infrastructure, improved custody solutions, and the rise of tokenized T-bills as superior yield-bearing collateral.
