The read

The market covered the June headlines as if they were the story. They were the aftershock. The trigger was a quiet piece of interagency guidance in March that made tokenized assets balance-sheet safe for regulated institutions, and once the capital penalty was gone the giants moved within ninety days. Watch the mortar instead of the bricks and the move was visible a quarter early. The clearance was dated, public, and hiding in plain sight.
