Bitcoin kicked off the week in green territory, holding steady around $92k as the broader crypto market showed upside momentum. But the real headline grabber this week? Monero's explosive 15% rally that pushed XMR to a fresh all-time high of $680—a serious move for the privacy-focused asset.
On the policy front, the US Senate dropped a draft crypto market structure bill that's drawing scrutiny from the community. The key sticking point: the proposal would prohibit stablecoins from earning interest, which could reshape how these assets function in DeFi and trading ecosystems.
Meanwhile, Michael Saylor wasn't sitting on the sidelines. MicroStrategy's chairman pulled the trigger on another $1.25B Bitcoin purchase, adding more fuel to the institutional adoption narrative. The aggressive accumulation continues as major players double down on conviction.

Bro, Monero's recent surge is really incredible. Can privacy coins still pack such a punch? Meanwhile, Bitcoin remains as steady as an old man... Saylor just poured another 1.25B in, this guy is unbelievable, really treating MicroStrategy as a Bitcoin fund. Respect, respect.

Monero's recent surge is unbelievable, it really scared me. Can privacy coins still hit new highs in this environment? It shows that there are still people optimistic about decentralization.

Damn, Monero's recent surge is insane... Privacy coins are finally gaining recognition
Stablecoin ban? That would kill DeFi completely, Senate folks really have a vivid imagination
Saylor is still aggressively accumulating, his obsession with Bitcoin is unmatched
Bitcoin has stabilized at 92k, let's see if it can break new highs next week
If the ban really passes, lending protocols will have to recalculate, it's concerning
