On the 22nd of May 2010, a young man named Laszlo bought two large pizzas for the eye-watering sum of 10,000 BTC. It is quite fitting then that fifteen years later to the day, Bitcoin broke a new record by reaching $112,000 per coin. For those keeping track, those pizzas are worth over a billion Dollars by today’s prices. The stars are starting to align for cryptocurrencies, firstly in terms of regulations, secondly in terms of capital flows. Genuine work is being done to bring clarity to crypto, most recently with a bill in the US Senate, which aims to build proper legal frameworks for stablecoins.

Back in the real world, manufacturing and services PMIs published on Thursday provided the latest look into global growth. European figures uncovered contraction across the board, with some bad misses particularly in the service sector.

In the US meanwhile, the latest numbers came in higher than expected at 52.3, indicating accelerated expansion in both sectors.

The passage of a new tax bill through the House of Representatives prompted a selloff in US stocks on Wednesday but the move did not retain any momentum during the following session. All in all a relatively calm week so far.
