Welcome back to another week of Wall Street Roundup. Thanks for joining us, Brian.

Great to be here. So lead us into the weekend. Talk to us about what we've seen this week. What's been top of mind for you?

This week, there's been a lot of wrangling in Washington. There was some hurdles with the

crypto regulation legislation that's been making its way through Congress. But that seems back

on track now. You see Bitcoin has been higher lately, though.

It's had trouble getting above the 120,000 mark.

So I would keep that in mind as a spot.

But if you look at kind of the shovels and Pixax's level of Bitcoin-related stock.

You see Coinbase is up 5% in the last five days.

It's setting a new 52-week high.

It's up 67% year-to-date.

Meanwhile, Circle is up 23% over the past five days.

So this is during the period of time when the politicians were ironing out the legislation

circles off its post-IPO highs, which it reached in June, but like I said, still up strongly

during the week.

So I think you see some upside in the overall crypto space just as there gets to be some clarity about

the regulatory environment. After Trump was elected, there was a spike in Bitcoin and crypto stocks

with the belief that there would be a supportive regulatory environment,

and you're starting to see that actually come to pass.

So I think you're just sort of fulfilling some of the promise that was made a few months

ago going into this administration.

An earning season is well underway.
