Tether launched its new self-custodial tether.wallet for easier USDT, BTC, and tokenized gold use, while backing a $134M raise for stablecoin infrastructure. Crypto ETFs turned notably positive year-to-date, and the industry ramps up $200M+ in midterm spending. Iran’s exploration of crypto for sanctions evasion adds geopolitical interest—markets show cautious optimism with focus on sustained momentum and upcoming catalysts.
