This week, the Hivemind team breaks down the macro shift toward deficit-fueled growth, the Circle IPO mania, stablecoin disruption, and how this might reshape the banking system. Later, they cover Plasma's launch mechanics, Pump.Fun’s token launch, and whether that launch is bearish Solana. Finally, they touch on crypto treasury companies, ETFs, and what the crew is bullish. Enjoy!
