River's latest report models what happens when Wall Street's recommended bitcoin allocations are actually adopted at scale. Roughly 4% of people worldwide own any bitcoin. Investment advisors as a whole have a 0.008% allocation. But 29 of the top 30 US Registered Investment Advisors now hold some bitcoin, and major firms like BlackRock, Fidelity, and Bank of America are recommending allocations of 1-5%. "The world's largest financial institutions are telling people to buy an asset that almost no one owns, with a supply that cannot expand to meet them." River's model estimates $1.3 to $5.3 trillion in net inflows over the next three to five years, implying a price range of $250,000 to $840,000 per coin. The wide range reflects how much depends on whether advisors move from today's 0.1% median allocation toward the 2-4% their own firms are recommending. river.com/content/the-ca…

"People think this is a Bitcoin story. This is a software story. Bitcoin is just the natural first thing a black hat attacker would hit because if you could hack Bitcoin infrastructure and just get Bitcoin, is that not way cleaner of a way to get a payday?" - @Rob1Ham x.com/TFTC21/status/…

The Digital Chamber and the Illinois Blockchain Association are suing to block Illinois' first-in-the-nation 0.2% tax on digital asset transactions. Their core argument is Illinois is taxing technology, not economics. A tokenized Treasury security gets taxed. The same Treasury held in book-entry form does not. A stablecoin transfer gets taxed. A dollar sent by ACH does not. As the complaint puts it: "Illinois has not taxed a new kind of property; it has taxed an old kind of property recorded in a new way." The plaintiffs argue the law violates the Illinois Uniformity Clause and the US Constitution's Commerce and Due Process clauses by imposing different tax treatment on economically identical assets based solely on the ledger technology used to record them. Noncompliance is a Class 3 felony. The law takes effect January 1, 2027.
