Penomo has formed a strategic partnership with Hoovest Financial Group, which collectively administers and manages over $1 billion in assets. This collaboration aims to accelerate institutional capital inflows into tokenized real-world infrastructure, facilitating the connection between asset-heavy renewable energy & physical AI operators and private capital allocators. The global shift towards sustainable energy & physical AI is driving significant capital into projects building & operating physical infrastructure, such as solar, Data Centers & machines, and financing remains the key bottleneck. Traditional financing models for critical physical infrastructure—primarily debt financing and structured equity are often slow, bureaucratic, and capital-intensive. Institutions keen…
According to some of the biggest names in crypto, the peak of memecoin mania has passed. With the sitting president of a G20 country facing initial impeachment proceedings for promoting a memecoin, every Trump family memecoin negative since listing on a major US exchange, and memecoin platforms targeted for money-laundering of billion-dollar hacks, it might seem as though the bubble has popped. Even Solana, the host blockchain for most memecoins, has shed one-third of its market capitalization over the last month. People, it appears, are sick of losing money in memecoins. TRUMP has declined over $11 billion since its peak,…
DOGE’s goal of eliminating $1 trillion from the government budget is not limited to federal employees. Consultants must also prove their value. What would be their response? “Our only job is to help clients save money in the long run.” Good enough? Well, Musk will have to decide. Reports say that the General Services Administration (GSA) asked all federal agencies to list and justify consulting contracts from 10 companies by the end of this week. There is a long history of consulting companies making a lot of money off of the government’s inefficiency. In the US, they are hired to…

U.S. spot-listed bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced the second-biggest outflows of the year on Monday, dropping $516.4 million, Farside data shows.

On Tuesday, bitcoin broke out of its three-month channel, falling below $90,000 and sliding to as low as $88,250.

This is a segment from the Forward Guidance newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. After wiping out the last of their “Trump bump” gains, US equities were surprisingly calm Wednesday following their tariff-fueled selloff earlier in the week. Given today’s mild gains come after a particularly spirited address from President Trump last night, during which he doubled down in defense of his trade policies, I’m betting investors are expecting the powers that be to step in. Whether this comes in the form of a “Fed put” or a “Trump put” is anyone’s guess. To be fair, investors probably don’t care…

In typical fashion, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) Chairman Michael Saylor suggests that the recent Bitcoin sell-off presents an opportunity. Over the past 24 hours, the crypto market has been rocked by yet another sell-off driven by macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tension.
