Institutions Snub Crypto: JPMorgan Survey Shocker ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ฐ

In a grand display of indifference, a JPMorgan survey reveals that the majority of institutional traders have no stomach for crypto trading this year. ๐Ÿฅฑ๐Ÿ’”

The US government’s crypto pivot is as evident as a kangaroo in a room full of rabbits, with the SEC reducing its crypto enforcement unit to a mere shadow. ๐Ÿฆ˜๐Ÿ‡

Trump’s executive order for a sovereign wealth fund, managed in part by crypto enthusiasts, suggests that even the highest seats of power are not immune to the digital charm. ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ›๏ธ

Senator Cynthia Lummis hints at the fund possibly snatching up Bitcoin, while the White House’s crypto czar dreams of stablecoins bringing the dollar’s reign online. ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐ŸŒ
