Speaker Johnson Holds the Gavel for Three Years

Following the three-year anniversary of his Speakership, conservative and industry leaders are commending House Republicans and Speaker Johnson for delivering historic results for the American people, all while navigating one of the smallest House majorities in history.
During the 119th Congress, House Republicans have delivered $4.6 trillion in lower taxes — the largest middle- and working-class tax cut in history, heading off the largest tax hike ever — a $1.6 trillion reduction in wasteful government spending, a totally secured border, erased crushing Biden-era regulations, the lowest violent crime rate in 126 years, the largest decline in prescription drug costs in 60 years, Trump Accounts for every child, the first-ever nationwide school choice program, more than one million private sector jobs added to the economy, reshoring of American manufacturing, record stock market indexes and job participation numbers, and so much more. Here’s what they are saying:
Conservative Leaders
“Mike Johnson inherited a House GOP conference that had destroyed a Speaker and found itself so bitterly divided it could not agree on anything. With extraordinary patience, astonishing discipline, a refusal to get mad at people and a daily working partnership with President Trump that won again and again when defeat seemed certain, Mike created a record for legislative effectiveness that is historic.” — Hon. Newt Gingrich, Former Speaker of the House
“Over the last three years, Speaker Johnson has repeatedly defied the odds to implement the America First agenda, advance Republican priorities, and deliver wins for the American people.” — Ken Blackwell, Chairman, Conservative Action Project
“Speaker Johnson took the Speaker’s gavel with an ambitious policy mandate from the American people. Guided by his faith and trusted for his integrity, he has repeatedly delivered consequential conservative policy victories through some of the slimmest congressional majorities. A true statesman. From all of us at Heritage, thank you, Speaker Johnson, and congratulations on three years!” — Kevin Roberts, President, The Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action
“Over the past three years, Speaker Mike Johnson has led with faith, conviction, and a commitment to putting America First. Working with President Trump, he united House Republicans to pass the historic One Big Beautiful Bill into law – protecting families from tax hikes, expanding the Child Tax Credit, delivering tax relief on tips and overtime for eligible workers, and providing critical resources to secure our border. Under his leadership, the House has passed meaningful legislation including the HALT Fentanyl Act which strengthens law enforcement’s ability to combat deadly fentanyl in our communities and hold traffickers accountable. On behalf of AFPI, we applaud Speaker Johnson’s leadership and his determination to turn America First promises into lasting policy.” — Greg Sindelar, Interim President & CEO, America First Policy Institute
“Speaker Mike Johnson has been a tremendous ally to the American family. Under his leadership, the House has prioritized protecting children from the predatory transgender industry, extended those protections through domestic and foreign appropriations funding, passed landmark legislation to safeguard kids online, and worked tirelessly to codify the President’s America First agenda. Moreover, in the last year, parents received an increased Child Tax Credit and access to new savings for their children via Trump Accounts. He also helped shepherd through legislation to defund Big Abortion providers like Planned Parenthood, cutting off taxpayer funding for a network which serves as one of the largest purveyors of harmful transgender drugs to minors. Thank you Speaker Johnson for putting American families and America’s future at the center of our national policy.” —Terry Schilling, President, American Principles Project
“Speaker Mike Johnson leads with the courage and conviction this civilizational moment demands. He fights to protect women’s sports and spaces, uphold the sanctity of life and defund the abortion industry, and shield children from the devastating harm of transition drugs and surgeries. Under his leadership, the House Judiciary Committee worked to hold the SPLC accountable for using its ‘hate list’ to silence and deplatform ideological opponents. And in an historic address to the UK Parliament, he reminded the world that the answer to speech we don’t like is always more speech, not censorship. ADF is grateful for Speaker Johnson and the sacrifices he makes that all might be free.” — Kristen Waggoner, CEO, President, & Chief Counsel, Alliance Defending Freedom
“Mike Johnson has been a taxpayer champion during his three years as Speaker of the House. He’s been a staunch advocate of limited government, low taxes, and low regulation. Under his leadership, Republicans rescinded funding for Biden’s supersized IRS, prevented the largest tax increase in American history and delivered across the board income tax cuts for American families. Perhaps most impressive, was Johnson’s ability to successfully make the pro-growth Trump Tax Cuts permanent. This is something 2017 Republicans fell short of achieving with 241 House Republicans. Johnson finished the job on permanent tax cuts while losing just two votes. This is a historic achievement made possible by Speaker Johnson’s leadership in the House.” —Grover Norquist, President, Americans for Tax Reform
“For the last three years, Speaker Mike Johnson has led the House of Representatives with conviction, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the American people. He has worked tirelessly to advance the principles of limited government, free markets, and federalism. Speaker Johnson has demonstrated how principle-guided service can deliver consequential victories for the American people.” —Lisa B. Nelson, CEO, American Legislative Exchange Council
“Americans sent Washington a clear mandate: secure our borders, let hardworking families keep more of their paychecks, and expand opportunities for the next generation. Speaker Mike Johnson has helped deliver on that mandate by advancing an America First agenda that strengthens families, keeps our communities safe, and makes the American dream attainable for all. The contrast with the radical left’s failed, big-government socialist agenda couldn’t be clearer. Their policies would mean higher taxes, rising costs, and weaker enforcement that puts all Americans at risk. As Speaker Johnson marks three years leading the House, America First Works commends his leadership and steadfast commitment, alongside the House Republican majority, to building a safer, stronger, and more prosperous America.” — Ashley Hayek, President, America First Works
“Speaker Johnson has led the House through three years of razor-thin margins and constant pressure, and his leadership team have repeatedly defied political expectations to deliver wins many thought were virtually impossible. His willingness to listen to voters and stand on principle was on full display in the fight to make the Working Families Tax Cut law, a landmark achievement that stopped the largest tax hike in American history and delivered lasting relief to families and small businesses. Speaker Johnson has been a champion for free markets and a strong ally of AFP since he came to Congress, and we need more leaders in Washington who govern the way he has.” —Brent Gardner, Chief Government Affairs Officer, Americans for Prosperity
“We congratulate Speaker Johnson on three remarkable years as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Days after his election—and only weeks after the October 7, 2023, massacre—his first public event was an address to the Republican Jewish Coalition’s Annual Leadership Summit. Speaker Johnson has demonstrated exceptional and righteous moral clarity, making the fight against antisemitism a House priority and leading the Republican majority in steadfast support of the U.S.-Israel alliance. Often underestimated, he has repeatedly delivered, including by passing the Big Beautiful Bill to cut taxes and expand educational freedom for all Americans. Given his razor-thin majority and extraordinary path to the speakership, his continued leadership is all the more impressive. The American Jewish community has had no better friend and partner leading the People’s House.” — Senator Norm Coleman, National Chairman; & Matt Brooks, CEO, Republican Jewish Coalition
“Thank God for Speaker Mike Johnson. We would never have passed the Big Beautiful Tax Cut without his amazing leadership to pull out that victory with such a slim majority. We have cut more wasteful programs than ever. No wonder today we have the lowest poverty rate, the lowest crime rate, the lowest number of Americans receiving unemployment benefits the highest stock market, the most investment AND the highest middle incomes in 50 years. A Speaker of the House who has made the American economy great again.” —Steve Moore, Chairman & Cofounder, Committee to Unleash Prosperity
“Speaker Mike Johnson is a man of great faith, integrity, and honor, and I am blessed to call him a friend. His tireless work passing the historic Working Families Tax Cuts defunded Big Abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood of hard-earned American taxpayer dollars for the first time in American history, relieved tax burdens on American families, bolstered school choice, and expanded pro-family child tax credits; and with the passage of the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, the Speaker affirmed that women and girls deserve safety, fairness, and opportunity in their sports categories and competitions. At this critical moment in our nation’s history, Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee gives thanks to God for Speaker Johnson’s wise, steadfast, God-honoring leadership as the 56th Speaker of the House and congratulates him on leading effectively for three years.” —Penny Nance, CEO & President, Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee
“In a time when political expediency too often takes precedence over principle, Speaker Mike Johnson has remained steadfast in his commitment to faith, family, and freedom. Through extraordinary political challenges, Mike has demonstrated the conviction, patience, and perseverance necessary to keep House Republicans united around shared principles and priorities. I am grateful for his friendship, his principled leadership, and his understanding that public service is ultimately about serving God and our fellow citizens.” —Tony Perkins, President, Family Research Council
“Speaker Johnson is one of the most pro-life Speakers in the history of the House. Our nation has seen historic victories under his leadership, including a staunch defense of the Hyde Amendment and the one-year moratorium on federal Medicaid dollars for large abortion providers like Planned Parenthood. Republicans could do more to learn from the Speaker and follow his lead in the battle for life.” —John Mize, CEO, Americans United for Life
“In just three years and with the narrowest of majorities, Speaker Mike Johnson has helped turn conservative principles into meaningful legislative accomplishments. His leadership in securing passage of the historic, permanent tax relief for hardworking American taxpayers as well as critical reforms to reduce waste, fraud and abuse, are defining achievements for our nation. As a former state lawmaker, Speaker Johnson has shown how policies rooted in federalism and other key conservative principles can best serve the American people for years to come.” — Jonathan Williams, President & Chief Economist, American Legislative Exchange Council
“In the mission to bring school choice to every state in America, we owe a debt of gratitude to Speaker Johnson’s leadership in Congress and his tireless commitment to advancing educational freedom at every turn. Speaker Johnson ensured that the historic Education Freedom Tax Credit was shepherded through the reconciliation process and signed into law. With Speaker Johnson at the President’s side, national school choice became the law of the land. School choice is now positioned to help more students and families than ever before, with nearly 52 million kids eligible for the Education Freedom Tax Credit.” —Tommy Schultz, CEO, American Federation for Children
“Congratulations to Speaker Mike Johnson on three years of leadership as Speaker of the House. His commitment to reforming our nation’s safety net reflects a belief that every American deserves the opportunity to work, contribute, and lead a flourishing life. Under his leadership, the House has taken meaningful steps toward that vision—from strengthening connections to work through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and restoring integrity to SNAP, to advancing the One Door to Work Act’s reforms through committee. Together, these efforts help move our safety net toward a stronger focus on opportunity, accountability, and lasting independence. Thank you, Speaker Johnson, for championing the dignity of work and helping more Americans build a brighter future for themselves and their families.” — Rachel Barkley, Executive Director, Alliance for Opportunity
“Under Speaker Johnson’s leadership, House Republicans delivered meaningful tax reform through the One Big Beautiful Bill, and Louisiana families and businesses are feeling the difference. AFP-LA has heard from small-business owners reinvesting in their companies and planning for growth, and from families who are keeping more of what they earn thanks to Speaker Johnson’s leadership. AFP-LA is proud to stand with Speaker Johnson and our Louisiana delegation as they continue to work to deliver results for the state, and we look forward to our continued partnership to ensure every Louisianian has the opportunity and freedom to get ahead.” —Scott Simon, State Director, Americans for Prosperity-Louisiana
“Three years into his speakership, Mike Johnson has helped lead House Republicans through historic legislative battles while working alongside President Donald J. Trump to advance an America First agenda. From passage of the Laken Riley Act to strengthen immigration enforcement, to the landmark Working Families Tax Cuts legislation, increased investment in border security and national defense, efforts to rein in federal spending, and policies promoting American energy dominance, Speaker Johnson has helped translate key Republican priorities into legislative action. This agenda has also delivered meaningful tax relief for America’s seniors. The Working Families Tax Cuts legislation established an additional deduction for middle class seniors, helping millions of older Americans keep more of their hard-earned retirement income. Speaker Johnson’s leadership reflects a continued commitment to putting the American people first and building a safer, stronger, and more prosperous nation.” —Rebecca Weber, Chairwoman, Association of Mature American Citizens Action
“Only one man could have united his caucus behind the One Big Beautiful Bill, which has given us permanent tax cuts as well as the historic new Education Freedom Tax Credit that will benefit so many Catholic students. That man is Speaker Johnson. I am grateful for his leadership and example.” —Kelsey Reinhardt, President & CEO, CatholicVote
“The Working Families Tax Cuts required near-literal unanimity from House Republicans numerous times in a row — committee work, budget resolutions, and budget reconciliation votes, as well as the associated procedural votes. It could have easily died at any stage. Speaker Mike Johnson is why it didn’t. He tirelessly worked to maintain unity and as a result, we made tax reform permanent for every American family and small business. We also cut taxes. reformed Obamacare, Medicaid, SNAP, student loans, and ended the Green New Deal. It took a deft leader to do that.” —Ryan Ellis, President, Center for a Free Economy

“It is hard to describe the extent of my admiration for and appreciation of Speaker Mike Johnson. He never ever wrings his hands and whines about not being able to get things done due to his very small GOP margin in the House. The Speaker figures out how to win. Every time. Speaker Johnson has been tireless in fighting for the SAVE America Act and I’m so very thankful for him. I am proud to call Speaker Johnson my friend.” —Cleta Mitchell, Founder & Chairman, Election Integrity Network
“It has been a unique experience for America to have a speaker who is faithful, patriotic, Conservative, friendly, intelligent and diligent – all rolled into one! In the lifetimes of anyone living, America has never been better served by its Speaker than we have been in the last three years.” —Ken Cuccinelli, Chairman, Election Transparency Initiative
“In an era where Republicans too often dial it in with social media posts and vague promises to fight, Speaker Mike Johnson is a refreshing change. He does the difficult work; he listens and he is willing to draw a line to protect principles. President Trump and the Speaker are an amazing partnership because they understand that part of leading is listening. Congratulations on succeeding in a job many thought had become impossible.” —Matt Schlapp, Chairman, Conservative Political Action Committee
“Unborn children have never had such a committed defender and friend in a Speaker of the House as Mike Johnson is. His life has been spent in service of protecting and defending the vulnerable, and he brought this same passion with him into the office of the Speaker. The combination of true belief in the dignity of every person—born and unborn—political and relational savvy, humor, and integrity embodied by Speaker Johnson makes him a force to be reckoned with. Thanks to the Speaker, for the first time in history, Congress defunded Big Abortion of their largest source of federal funding for one year, and taxpayers were not forced to subsidize even more abortion coverage through Obamacare. On behalf of the babies and moms and taxpayers who might never know all you’ve done to protect them, thank you, Speaker Johnson. Your leadership is an extraordinary gift.” —Marjorie Dannenfelser, President, SBA Pro-Life America

“Since Mike Johnson became Speaker three years ago, House Republicans have been extraordinarily productive, leading the fight for personal freedom and economic freedom to restore opportunity and reawaken the American Dream. GOP-backed legislation has prevented the largest tax increase in history (leaving more money in Americans’ hands) and secured funding for stronger border security. His determination to enhance election integrity with the SAVE America Act reflects his understanding that Americans of all parties and ideologies believe in and want secure elections, and we appreciate his efforts to pass this vital legislation through the Congress and get it to the president’s desk. Furthermore, Speaker Johnson has strengthened the conservative movement by consistently listening to grassroots groups and incorporating our voices into the legislative process.” —Jenny Beth Martin, Chairman, Tea Party Patriots Action
“Speaker Mike Johnson is one of the most effective legislative leaders in either house of Congress or either party in my entire career.  I have worked closely with every Republican Speaker since Newt Gingrich, so I know of which I speak.  Mike is principled, humble, a master of the legislative process, empathetic, and enormously skilled at balancing the needs of his Members with those of the White House and U.S. Senate.  He is an eloquent and articulate spokesperson for conservative values as well as the most successful fundraiser in the history of the Republican caucus.  We are truly blessed to have him in leadership.  It is an honor and pleasure to work with him, and I congratulate him on the third anniversary of his Speakership.  I hope it is just one among many to come.” —Ralph Reed, Founder & Chairman, Faith & Freedom Coalition
“For decades, conservatives watched NPR and PBS smear them and then got handed the bill. Under Speaker Johnson, House Republicans helped cancel $1.1 billion in public-broadcasting funding and used their oversight powers to expose Washington’s role in censoring Americans. Having spent years documenting media bias and censorship at MRC, I appreciate a Speaker willing to take on both. Mike Johnson deserves real credit for getting results with a razor-thin majority.” —David Bozell, President, Media Research Center
“Under Speaker Johnson’s leadership, House Republicans have delivered a series of major Second Amendment and outdoor-heritage victories. They restored the gun rights of veterans, zeroed out the $200 NFA tax in the One Big Beautiful Bill—opening the door to dismantling large parts of the nearly 100-year-old National Firearms Act—voted to block the use of Merchant Category Codes that would have created a backdoor registry of firearm purchases, voted to protect the use of traditional ammunition for hunters and sportsmen, and voted to return the management of wildlife resources to the states. The NRA is proud to stand with Speaker Johnson and House Republicans as they continue to deliver historic victories for law-abiding gun owners across our country.” —John Commerford, Executive Director, National Rifle Association’s Institute of Legislative Action
“Speaker Johnson knows that the foundation of a strong government is the protection of innocent human life. As Speaker of the House, he has been a fearless and consistent advocate for life.

For that, we are very grateful!” —Carol Tobias, President, National Right to Life
“Speaker Johnson has done a masterful job leading the House of Representatives despite a historically small majority. National Taxpayers Union is particularly thankful for his efforts to deliver permanent tax relief for workers, families and businesses and his commitment to tackling our debt crisis by rooting out waste in federal programs.

We are grateful for his leadership and dedication, and look forward to working with him in the future to create more lasting change for America.” —Carrie Lukas, President, Independent Women’s Forum

Abundant energy and free innovation go hand in hand and it’s clear the Speaker understands both.” —Taylor Barkley, Director of Federal Government Affairs, Abundance Institute
“The Speakership of Mike Johnson is historic for a number of reasons but two are especially notable. Never in the History of the United States has the House of Representatives elected as Speaker a member who didn’t seek it. Never in the History of the United States has the House of Representatives been so narrowly divided between our two great political parties. Yet, Mike Johnson has managed to navigate the circumstances and this Congress has had enormous success. Historians will recall the Johnson Speakership as one of the most accomplished in our nation’s history.”
—Bob McEwen, U.S. House of Representatives Former Member, Ohio
“Over the past three years, Speaker Mike Johnson has led the House with a commitment to the principles of faith, family, and freedom. Family Policy Alliance is grateful for his leadership and the work of House Republicans on issues that matter deeply to American families.
“Under his leadership, House Republicans have delivered meaningful legislative victories. Efforts to restrict federal Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood marked an important step in the fight to protect innocent lives. The creation of a federal school choice tax credit will open new doors for families who want the freedom to choose an education that best meets their children’s needs and reflects their values. These victories are part of a much larger record of advancing policies that protect children, empower parents, and strengthen American families.
“We are grateful for Speaker Johnson’s steadfast commitment to these principles and look forward to continued progress in protecting life, strengthening families, and defending freedom for generations to come.” —Craig DeRoche, President & CEO, Family Policy Alliance
“Congratulations to Speaker Mike Johnson on three years of leadership. He took the gavel under extraordinarily challenging circumstances, leading with narrow majorities that would have broken a lesser leader, and he has held this conference together because he is the one Republicans who could command 218 votes.

That is consequential, conservative leadership and the country is better for it.” —Tim Chapman, President, Advancing American Freedom
“Every generation has to defend freedom against evil. The only question is who is standing on the wall. For three years it has been Mike Johnson, and he has not flinched.

Speaker Johnson is a true statesman and one of the most steadfast allies we’ve had. We look forward to continuing to work with him and his team in the years ahead.” —Sal Nuzzo, Executive Director, Consumers Defense
“Since his election to be Speaker of the House on October 25, 2023, Speaker Mike Johnson has tirelessly led the House of Representatives to help U.S. taxpayers by passing impactful tax cuts for families and small businesses and significant legislation to eliminate waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in the federal government.  CCAGW congratulates and thanks Speaker Johnson for his unparalleled leadership and extraordinary commitment to protecting taxpayers and promoting a more efficient and less wasteful government.” —Tom Schatz, President, Council for Citizens Against Government Waste

“Speaker Johnson eloquently spelled out his guiding principles years ago in his ‘7 Core Principles of Conservatism’ – which every American should read – and since becoming Speaker has managed to make progress on them in a landscape defined by gridlock and pessimism. He took on arguably the most difficult job in Washington under challenging circumstances and in an even more challenging environment, including a historically narrow majority and countless factors outside his control. Since then, he has gamely led the House and achieved policy victories that will save taxpayers thousands, began the process of badly needed entitlement reform, expanded educational opportunities for children, and more. I am proud to stand with Speaker Johnson and am grateful he humbly took on the thankless task of leading the People’s House three years ago.”—Akash Chougule, President, The Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity

FAIR applauds Speaker Johnson for his deep commitment to reform that puts the interests of American citizens first and looks forward to building on that momentum to permanently put an end to asylum fraud, parole abuse, and mass catch-and-release policies so that no future presidential administration can ever again repeat those same failed policies.” —Joe Chatham, Director of Government Relations, Federation for American Immigration Reform
“Speaker Johnson has been a consistent ally of worker freedom. He understands that a paycheck belongs to the worker, not the union boss. Congratulations to the Speaker on three years of steady, principled leadership.” —Aaron Withe, CEO, Freedom Foundation

He has served with dignity, steadiness, and deep respect for the institution, holding together the narrowest of majorities to deliver real results, including rolling back the costly green energy subsidies that drove up Americans’ energy bills.

We are grateful for his continued dedication to defending life and in advancing policies that support moms, babies, and their families through pregnancy and beyond.” —Hayden Sledge, March for Life Action
“Speaker Johnson has made confronting the Chinese Communist Party’s economic and national security challenges a clear priority for the House. His support for legislation to safeguard sensitive supply chains and restrict American investment in China’s military modernization has helped translate concern about China’s predatory actions into concrete action. That sustained focus is essential to protecting America’s security and economic leadership.” —Leland Miller, Commissioner, U.S.-China Economic & Security Review Commission

“Grounded in his faith and a commitment to constitutional conservative principles, Speaker Johnson has also been a tireless and effective advocate for strong families and the sanctity of human life.

“Speaker Mike Johnson has been a stalwart champion of protecting religious liberty, combating antisemitism, and expanding educational freedom. Agudath Israel of America particularly appreciates the Speaker’s leadership in advancing the historic Federal Scholarship Tax Credit, which will help expand educational opportunities for millions of families across the country, regardless of the type of school their children attend.

“With a razor-thin majority, Speaker Johnson has achieved nothing short of a miraculous results for the American people. As chief architect of the American family tax cuts in the one big beautiful bill he never forgot about following through on promises made to the taxpayers. The record of the GOP majority deserves affirmation by the voters.” —Gary Marx, President, Madison Strategies
“Parents Defending Education Action thanks Speaker of The House, Mike Johnson for his 3 years of service in Congress. Speaker Johnson has been a champion for American children and families. Bringing a spirit of cooperation and conviction, the Speaker has supported and championed many of Parents Defending Education’s issues such as parental rights, transparency in our education systems, combatting our foreign adversaries, standing up to teacher’s unions and transgenderism, and improving our K-12 public schools and Institutions of Higher Education. We are proud to continue in our collaborative efforts with Congress and the Speaker to continue to bring about the Golden Age of America.” —Dr. Terry Stoops, Director of Government Affairs, Parents Defending Education Action

Industry Leaders
“Speaker Johnson and his leadership team have been steadfast champions of American energy, delivering real results that strengthen our economy and benefit families across the country. From securing pro-growth tax policies to overturning burdensome regulations through the Congressional Review Act and advancing critical permitting reforms, they have helped lay the groundwork for a new era of American energy dominance.

“Over the past three years, Speaker Johnson has helped advance policies that matter to the small and family-owned businesses that drive America’s lighting industry. Our industry includes small and mid-sized lighting manufacturers, distributors, and showrooms across the country. The tax relief enacted under Speaker Johnson’s leadership, including making the small business deduction permanent, improving expensing provisions, and reducing the burden of the estate tax will help lighting businesses reinvest, support their employees, and transition to the next generation of leadership. ALA recognizes the importance of Speaker Johnson’s efforts to build consensus across the aisle and keep the essential operations of government functioning. Predictability and stability matter to our members as they make long-term investments, navigate economic challenges, and serve customers nationwide.

As a builder of residential communities primarily serving low-maintenance buyers, we understand the importance of policies that make it easier to build homes and create vibrant communities that help homeowners age in place with dignity. We appreciate Speaker Johnson’s leadership on these priorities and look forward to additional efforts in Congress to support private businesses, increase housing opportunities, and strengthen communities across the country.” —Nanette Pfister, Vice President of Public Affairs, Epcon Communities
“As Speaker Mike Johnson enters his third year of leadership, forest landowners have good reason to appreciate the progress Congress has made in strengthening America’s working family forests. Tax cuts for small and family-owned businesses, expanded opportunities to immediately expense investments, and meaningful death tax reductions provide greater certainty for forest landowners to invest in their land, support rural jobs, and pass down their legacy after a lifetime of hard work. We also commend Speaker Johnson and Congress for advancing the Emergency Conservation Program Improvement Act, which strengthens USDA’s Emergency Forest Restoration Program and Emergency Conservation Program. These reforms will help family forest landowners access disaster recovery assistance more quickly, including advance cost-share payments that can make an immediate difference when wildfires, hurricanes, and other natural disasters devastate working forests. We appreciate Speaker Johnson’s steadfast leadership and are committed to continuing to ensure that family forest owners have the tools they need to keep America’s forests healthy, productive, and working for generations to come.” —Scott Jones, CEO, Forest Landowners Association

From historic tax relief and improved access to capital to regulatory reform, health care affordability, and making government more responsive and accountable, the House has compiled an impressive record of legislative accomplishments under his leadership. Moreover, many of these initiatives have attracted bipartisan support, demonstrating that meaningful progress is possible when lawmakers work together on addressing challenges or key issues that require change. Speaker Johnson deserves recognition for his steady leadership, commitment to getting things done, and efforts to create a stronger environment for America’s entrepreneurs and small businesses.” —Karen Kerrigan, President & CEO, Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council
“Three years ago, Mike Johnson took the Speaker’s gavel at a moment of uncertainty for the country. Since then, he has led the House with discipline, humility and unwavering integrity. Speaker Johnson has delivered significant results for American employers, including permanent tax relief for families and job creators and expanded support for domestic energy production. Those achievements strengthened the business climate and gave employers, in Louisiana and across the country, greater confidence to invest, expand and create jobs. We are proud to see a Louisianan serving in one of the nation’s most consequential positions, and we are grateful for his service to our state and country. On behalf of LABI and the employers we represent, we congratulate Speaker Johnson and commend his commitment to advancing policies that strengthen free enterprise, expand economic opportunity and secure a stronger future for Louisiana and our nation.” —Will Green, President & CEO, Louisiana Association of Business and Industry
“Three words have come to mind while watching Speaker Johnson. First, relentless, which matches the sooner-or-later Speaker Johnson wins on the floor part of his Speakership – even with his mere 2-vote margin and many political atmospheric challenges facing the country, spanning economic, military, scientific (AI), and cultural – he keeps winning floor votes.
“Second, indomitable matches the word on the street in Washington, DC: ‘don’t bet against the Speaker’—he can’t be subdued.
“But dauntless fits best because he isn’t afraid to take tough votes or even lose them to find and solve for the ‘Nos,’ to get them to ‘Yes.’ In fact, he specializes in having the House take tough votes and win them.
“Not surprisingly, the Speaker consistently delivers legislation that, you know, actually passes on the House floor. It takes courage, focus, and humility. If you could pick a single person built for this job, it would be Speaker Johnson.” —Dan Perrin, Founder, HSA Coalition
“In law enforcement, we don’t have the luxury of talking problems to death. People expect us to act, make tough decisions, and deliver results. Speaker Mike Johnson understands that leadership isn’t about making promises; it’s about keeping them. His work to deliver tax relief on overtime is a perfect example of turning promises into action and standing up for the hardworking men and women who serve our communities and provide for their families.”—DeSoto Parish Sheriff Jayson Richardson, Board Member, Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor Review Board
“Speaker Johnson has been a champion for local franchise small businesses, providing them with essential tax relief and long-term certainty to operate their business. Last year’s tax bill was a major victory for Main Street franchise owners and the millions of workers they employ, providing them with certainty that key tax provisions will remain in place to support their businesses and encourage future growth. Looking ahead, the 119th Congress still has an opportunity to provide America’s 832,000 local franchise businesses certainty on their business model, by finishing the job on the American Franchise Act. We thank Speaker Johnson for all he has done to help millions to achieve the American Dream of business ownership and success.” —Michael Layman, Chief Advocacy Officer, International Franchise Association
“Family businesses are the backbone of the American economy. They create the majority of jobs in the country, enrich their local communities, and drive economic growth. As Speaker Mike Johnson celebrates three years, we recognize the legislative progress made under his leadership to support the success of these family businesses and their workforces. Tax relief for family owned and operated businesses of all sizes, expanded expensing, permanence in the deduction for qualified business income, and more protection against the death tax give family businesses from hundreds of different American industries greater flexibility to invest in new business equipment, expand, and hire additional workers. These policies will help family businesses preserve what generations have worked together to build and make it possible for many more family-owned manufacturers, distributors, and farmers to pass their businesses on to the next generation.” —Palmer Schoening, Chairman, Family Business Coalition
“I’ve had the chance to spend time with Speaker Johnson, and what stands out is how much he cares about the people behind the policy, the families, small business owners, and retirees working to build a secure future. That care has shown up in the results. Over the past three years, he has helped usher in policies that give families the certainty to plan with confidence, including Trump Accounts that give the next generation a head start on saving. Our members, financial security professionals, see every day what that means for the families they serve. Together, we are building a future of Financial Security for All.” —Marc Cardin, CEO, Finseca
“Rules are infrastructure. Under Speaker Johnson, the House built them: GENIUS is law, and CLARITY passed 294 to 134. Do the same for AI, and the next great companies get built here.” — Arjun Sethi, Co-CEO, Kraken and Payward
“We are grateful for Speaker Johnson’s leadership style that is centered around an uncanny ability to remain calm and stay focused on building consensus. It is both admirable and inspiring! His actions prove that he recognizes the indispensable value of the construction industry to the American economy.” —Reldon Owens, CEO, Louisiana Associated General Contractors
“Speaker Mike Johnson inherited a generational farm economic crisis from his first day on the job. Since that time, Mike has stood with farmers and ranchers time and again to make the largest investments in sustaining agriculture that our government has ever provided. The Working Families Tax Cut Act being the most significant of those, making Farm Bill programs relevant again to protect our nation’s food security. As Speaker, Mike Johnson has also stayed true to his Louisiana roots. Every single year Mr. Speaker has shown up at home saying, ‘just call me Mike,’ while wanting to hear from his farmers on the ground. That speaks volumes to his leadership style for folks like us. Congratulations on three years Speaker Johnson! Farmers and ranchers across this country appreciate your service, especially the ones from home. We look forward to what else we can accomplish with you in the days ahead.” —Richard Fontenot, President, Louisiana Farm Bureau
“At a time when our nation needed a steady hand and strong leader, we are thankful it turned to Speaker Mike Johnson. Having a Speaker who knows the importance of American energy dominance and has the vision to achieve it is indispensable, especially in this time of uncertainty around the globe. Our nation is certainly stronger today with the leadership of Speaker Mike Johnson than we could be without him.” —Tommy Faucheux, President, Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil & Gas Association
“As Speaker Johnson marks three years as of service, the electrical distribution industry is grateful for the important legislative wins he has been able to secure. From making the 20 percent small business deduction permanent and providing estate tax relief, to immediate expensing and expanding 529 accounts to support career and technical education, these policies provide greater certainty for businesses and help strengthen America’s workforce. Speaker Johnson’s work to advance permitting reform through the House is another important step toward reducing unnecessary delays and accelerating the transmission and energy infrastructure projects our country needs to meet growing demand for reliable power. Together, these accomplishments will help electrical distributors invest, grow, and continue supporting the buildout of America’s energy infrastructure.” —Bud DeFlaviis, Director of Government Affairs, National Association of Electrical Distributors
“Congratulations to Speaker Mike Johnson on three years leading the People’s House. This Congress has demonstrated the importance of working across the aisle to address the challenges facing American families. The bipartisan, bicameral, and near-unanimous support for the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act reflects a shared commitment to advancing housing affordability and expanding opportunities for more Americans to achieve the dream of homeownership.” —Shannon McGahn, Executive Vice President & Chief Advocacy Officer, National Association of REALTORS
“On behalf of the National Electrical Contractors Association and our more than 4,500 members, I would like to thank Speaker Johnson and congratulate him on all the tremendous work House Republicans have accomplished under his leadership.
“Most NECA members operate family-owned, pass-through businesses and the Working Families Tax Cut made the Section 199A small business deduction permanent. Had that provision not been included, the people working to wire our homes, hospitals, schools and businesses would’ve seen an enormous tax hike.
“NECA also greatly appreciates Speaker Johnson and House Republicans’ work to cut through permitting delays, allowing our members to build long stalled transmission projects through legislation like the SPEED Act. Under Speaker Johnson’s leadership, the House has shown it understands what it takes to secure America’s energy future and NECA is proud to stand with him.” —David Long, CEO, National Electrical Contractors Association
“NLBMDA congratulates Speaker Mike Johnson on his third anniversary as Speaker of the House. Over the past three years, Congress has made meaningful progress on policies that support the lumber and building material industry, including providing greater tax certainty and relief for small businesses and advancing bipartisan solutions to address our nation’s housing challenges. These accomplishments are important to the thousands of businesses that supply the materials needed to build and improve homes across the country. We appreciate Speaker Johnson’s leadership in advancing these efforts and look forward to continuing our work together to strengthen American enterprise, promote economic growth, and reinforce the vital role of the LBM industry in our nation’s economy.” —Jonathan Paine, President & CEO, National Lumber & Building Material Dealers Association

“With Speaker Johnson marking his third anniversary as Speaker of the House, we recognize the importance of policies that help our members grow and create jobs. Estate tax relief, making the 20 percent small business deduction permanent, immediate expensing, and allowing 529 accounts to cover career and technical education are important wins for our members. We appreciate the Speaker’s focus on promoting careers in the skilled trades. Developing the next generation of skilled workers is essential to the future of the petroleum equipment industry and the communities we serve. PEI thanks Speaker Johnson for supporting the businesses and workers who keep America’s petroleum equipment industry strong.” —Jason Blake, President, Petroleum Equipment Institute
“For three years, Speaker Johnson has brought impactful leadership to Congress, and SEMA and the small businesses and manufacturers of the automotive aftermarket industry have benefited greatly. The legislation that Speaker Johnson has shepherded during his tenure have been necessary boosts to our nation’s economy and personal liberties; from stopping electric vehicle mandates that would have forced Americans into cars and trucks that do not meet their needs, to backing small businesses and innovators through permanent, reduced tax rates, to increased deductions for small businesses. Our automotive aftermarket industry is stronger and better positioned for future growth and success because of our champions in Congress like Speaker Johnson.” —Karen Bailey-Chapman, Senior Vice President of Public and Government Affairs, Specialty Equipment Market Association

“The National Cotton Council commends Speaker Mike Johnson for his strong leadership and unwavering commitment to American agriculture. So far during his tenure, Congress has delivered critical economic assistance to producers and secured historic improvements to the farm safety net through the Working Families Tax Cuts Act. We look forward to continuing to work with Speaker Johnson to expand opportunities for U.S. cotton.” —National Cotton Council
“We appreciate Speaker Johnson’s leadership that has put American workers and American manufacturing at the center of the agenda. The Working Families Tax Cuts advanced those priorities through critical provisions, including no tax on overtime and expensing for manufacturing equipment, helping our workers keep more of what they earn, and steelmakers invest in America’s future.” —Steel Manufacturers Association
“We first met Speaker Mike Johnson while he was serving in the state legislature and since that time he has consistently advocated for and supported efforts to create a reasonable regulatory environment that allows banks, their customers, and their communities to reach their potential.  Just as important as his support for helpful legislation, has been his opposition to measures that would create unnecessary roadblocks to economic growth.  As the first person representing Louisiana to hold the position of Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, we thank Speaker Johnson for his leadership and commend him for his accomplishments.” —Louisiana Bankers Association(Historical earnings: For fiscal 2026Q2 (period ended 2026-06-30), Cloudflare reported basic and diluted EPS of -0.55, net income of -USD 0.193 billion, and revenue of USD 1.336 billion.

FED PREVIEW: No Rush, But Not Done

The FOMC meets Tuesday and Wednesday, and markets price roughly a 90% chance it holds the target range at 3.75–4.00%. A pause after September's hike might look like a softening. It isn't.
The debate is timing, not direction
In September's dot plot, 16 of 18 officials saw another 25 to 50bp of hikes by the end of 2027. Since then, core members have played down any urgency. Williams saw "no need for urgency," Bowman no "urgent need for further action," and Jefferson said assessing inflation trends "may take more time." Even Waller, who expects "additional hikes," said they don't have to come at back-to-back meetings.
The hawks are pushing harder. Musalem argued that "earlier and incremental" firming beats "later and larger," and Logan said policy "needs to become restrictive," with 50bp or more possibly still needed. Expect dissents in favor of a hike, most likely from Hammack and Logan, who both dissented in July.
Inflation isn't cooperating
September CPI ran hot. Core rose 0.335% m/m against a 0.21% consensus, and price rises spread into durable goods as chip-heavy categories climbed alongside the AI investment boom. PPI and import prices hit highs not seen since 2022. Core PCE tracking now points to about 0.33% m/m, which would take the yearly rate from 3.0% to 3.1%, further from the 2% target.
The economy is still running hot
GDPNow puts Q3 growth at 3.5% annualized, with final sales to private domestic buyers near 4.7% and equipment investment up around 18% on AI spending. Payrolls were soft at just 29k in September, and unemployment ticked up to 4.2%. But jobless claims are near their lowest since the 1960s, and the 4-week average has stayed below 200k for three weeks straight.

What to watch from Warsh
The key question is how Chair Warsh describes how restrictive policy is. In September he said he'd be "hard-pressed to describe broad financial conditions as restrictive." If the Fed holds while conditions still aren't restrictive, he has to explain how inflation gets back to 2% in time. If he says conditions have tightened, markets will read that as fewer hikes ahead and loosen conditions again.
Expect him to repeat his line that "trends matter, data points are noisy," and listen for any hint, however faint, that December is live. The Fed will have two more payroll reports and another CPI print in hand by then, and the midterms on November 3 will be behind it.

Markets have already pulled back
After last week's tech-led selloff, expected peak rates fell from 4.73% to about 4.57%. The market debate has shifted from three or four more hikes to two or three. That's still more than most officials are signaling.
Bottom line: expect a hold with a hawkish tone, a couple of dissents, and a Chair who won't commit to anything but 2%.

"Anthropic's IPO and access to secured funding could significantly reduce financing risk around its AI investment cycle despite more than $417 billion of long-term commitments. An equity raise would add to about $132 billion of cash and short-term investments, while Anthropic's demonstrated use of secured special-purpose vehicles provides another route to funding alongside its $15 billion revolving line of credit. Broader secured debt-market access may materially expand debt capacity even if unsecured investment-grade funding is limited near term, supporting a stronger credit profile despite the scale of future spending." - Bloomberg Intelligence

Eyes on the Market: At Cost Basis BTC dropped below $80K on Saturday. BTC fell 1.98% to $80,386 after a low of $79,107, and ETH fell 2.64% to $2,344. Thursday’s selloff erased Wednesday’s run to $84,856. Oil hit a six-month high. Brent closed Friday at $116.72, its highest close since April 29, as Gulf attacks reached Saudi energy infrastructure. Gold fell 4.31% to $4,004. The Fed is priced to hold on Wednesday. Polymarket puts a hold on October 28 at 95%. October hike odds peaked at 48% after CPI on October 14 and now sit at 6%. Treasury companies slowed down. Strategy bought 267 BTC and spent $193.1M buying back STRC ahead of its October 28 shareholder vote and MSCI’s November 11 list. Liquidations hit both sides. Shorts lost $498.1M as BTC rallied into Wednesday, then longs lost $1.23B from Thursday to Saturday. IBIT carried BTC ETF flows. BTC ETFs took in $301.2M. IBIT drew $565.7M while every other fund combined lost $264.5M. In October so far, IBIT sits at +$755.2M and the rest at -$1,068.7M. ETH ETFs posted a fourth straight outflow week. They lost $220.7M this week and $1.22B since September 28, erasing 75% of the year’s inflows. Oil Up, Everything Else Down BTC opened Monday at $82,007 and closed Sunday at $80,386, down 1.98%. ETH fell 2.64% to $2,344. Total crypto market cap fell 2.73% to $2.77T. BTC peaked at $84,856 on Wednesday and closed the day at $84,613, up 3.18% on the week, with ETH up 3.45% to $2,491. Thursday erased both gains as tanker attacks near Hormuz sent Brent higher and Big Tech sold off. From Wednesday’s close, BTC fell 4.08% and ETH 4.45%, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.60%, its worst session since June. BTC fell 1.6 times as far as the Nasdaq that day. BTC broke below $80K on Saturday to a low of $79,107, under Glassnode’s estimated $80.2K average cost basis for ETF and treasury-company holders. It lost 1.14% from Friday to Sunday, and ETH lost 2.28% over the same stretch. Equities fell with crypto, but by less. The S&P 500 was down 0.71% and the Nasdaq Composite 1.34% by Sunday on weekend futures, after closing Friday’s cash session down 0.97% and 1.67%. Brent peaked at $116.72 on Friday and finished the week up 4.93%. Gold fell 4.31% to $4,004. Events of the Week Oil hits a six-month high Houthi attacks hit Saudi targets, including energy infrastructure, and about seven tankers were reported damaged near Hormuz by Thursday. On Wednesday the State Department ordered staff out of Saudi Arabia and cut staffing in Jordan, Lebanon, Qatar and the UAE. Brent closed Friday at $116.72, its highest close since April 29. The 10-year fell from 5.13% to 4.96% on Thursday, its largest one-day drop since March 2023, then closed Friday back at 5.00%. The 20-year auction cleared at 5.469%, up from 5.420% at the prior auction. A hold is expected Polymarket puts a hold at the October 28 FOMC at 95%, with hike odds at 6%. They spent most of the month higher. September payrolls set a low starting point, at 29,000 against 90,000 expected, with unemployment up to 4.2%. The October 14 CPI print then took hike odds from 22% to 48%, and they settled near 30% within a day. On October 15, PPI beat forecasts and odds still slipped, as New York Fed President John Williams said he had no reason yet to believe the Fed would need to do more. They fell to 13% after Warsh spoke at the IMF and World Bank meetings in Bangkok, where he declined to comment on the October 27–28 meeting and said only that the Fed will deliver price stability. December remains the most likely meeting for a hike, with odds sitting at 77%. Treasury companies slow down Strategy bought 267 BTC for $22.1M, spent $193.1M buying back STRC preferred shares, and raised its buyback authorization from $2B to $3B. The STRC shareholder vote is on October 28, and MSCI publishes its index decision on November 11. Strive bought 1,223 BTC for about $100M. Elsewhere: BlackRock filed for a buffered BTC ETF. Franklin Templeton’s BTC dividend-reinvestment ETFs take effect October 27. Standard Chartered agreed to acquire Zodia Custody. Germany’s Sparkassen opened crypto trading. Comment periods closed for the Fed’s GENIUS Act rules on October 19 and the SEC’s Regulation Crypto proposal on October 20. Polymarket gives Democrats a 92% chance of winning the House and 66% for the Senate ahead of the November 3 midterms, which open the lame-duck window for any second attempt at CLARITY. Volatility, Positioning and Leverage BVIV fell 4.8% from 40.76 to 38.82 by Tuesday’s close as BTC rallied, the weekly low. It then rose with the selloff, and closed higher on every day - but Friday - adding about 2% on Thursday and finishing Sunday at 41.13, up 0.9% on the week and 6.0% off the low. That close is within a tenth of the October 14 high, the highest daily close of the past month. Over the month, BVIV is up 10.8% from about 36.9. Aggregate futures open interest is $138.3B, against $140B last issue, down 1.2%. Coin-denominated BTC open interest has climbed from a low of 619K BTC on October 12 to 671K, still below its average for the year. Liquidations hit both sides. As BTC rallied to Wednesday’s high, $498.1M of shorts were liquidated from Monday to Wednesday. The selloff then flushed longs. Daily liquidations doubled to an average of $504.2M from Thursday to Saturday, $1.51B in total, with longs taking $1.23B of it, 82%. Saturday’s break below $80K was the largest day at $547.2M. BTC ETF Inflows Return as ETH Outflows Persist BTC and ETH ETFs took in $80.5M combined. BTC carried the week, and ETH lost money for a fourth straight week. BTC: +$301.2M. This week broke the outflow streak of the prior two weeks, but the net figure hides how volatile flows were. Monday to Wednesday brought $1.07B of inflows, then Thursday and Friday lost $774M. Thursday’s -$635.6M was the largest single-day outflow since June 25 (-$691.7M). IBIT drove the inflow days. It took in $665.2M on Monday, its largest day of 2026 and its biggest since October 7, 2025, and finished the week at +$565.7M. Every other fund combined lost $264.5M. For October to date, IBIT has drawn +$755.2M while the rest of the complex has lost $1,068.7M. Year-to-date flows sit at +$656.3M, down from +$1,021M on September 25. Our research on ETF flows found that IBIT’s flows predict price no better than the rest of the complex. On the 15 days IBIT took in big money while other funds sold - as it did Monday - BTC fell 0.86% on average over the next five days. Wednesday’s inflow landed on the week’s high and Thursday’s outflow on the same session as the selloff, which fits the broader finding that flows follow price. The level to watch is about $79.6K, 7% below October 6’s close of $85.5K, the highest close of the past 20 days. Once BTC closes 7% below its 20-day high, ETF flows have historically flipped from +$74M a day to -$72M within a week. Saturday’s $79,107 low broke through that line intraday, but BTC closed Sunday about 0.7% above it. From Monday’s close, the line drops to about $78.1K as early October’s highs leave the window. ETH: -$220.7M. This is the fourth consecutive outflow week. Since September 28, ETH ETFs have lost $1.22B, taking year-to-date flows from +$1,622M to +$400.5M. ETHA has not posted an inflow in 19 sessions: 15 outflow days, four flat, and -$1.04B in total. Across October, 14 of 17 sessions were outflows. Key Events for the Week Ahead Tuesday, October 27 US: FOMC convenes. Durable goods and Conference Board consumer confidence. Israel: Knesset election. Wednesday, October 28 US: FOMC decision, 2pm ET. A hold is priced at 95%, so the dissents matter more than the decision. Canada: BoC decision, 9:45am ET. About 80% priced for a hike. New Zealand: RBNZ decision. UK: Autumn Budget. Australia: Q3 CPI.

@markjeffrey Glad you enjoyed your first Intents experience! 🧡 If you haven't already, give https://near.com a try too! Reply to @markjeffrey: Just spent the last hour setting up the ZODL wallet, and using NEAR Intents for the first time to turn a little Bitcoin into $ZEC -- well done, ZEC and $NEAR peeps! This is an impressive little world you've built. I'd say the latest Tao.com wallet is on par with ZODL (so: check!) -- but we're still missing a @near_intents integration of $TAO.

MORGAN STANLEY SEES POST-ELECTION MARKET REBOUND

Morgan Stanley's Michael Wilson expects the current equity correction to end as several major risks clear, including the U.S. midterm elections.

S&P 500 targets:
🔸 Near-term downside: 7,100–7,200
🔸 Year-end base case: 8,000

Wilson identifies three catalysts: AI financing concerns, midterm elections and tightening financial conditions.

The key takeaway: Liquidity remains the biggest near-term risk, but a potential Fed pivot could trigger a market rebound. Morgan Stanley notes that midterm elections have historically been followed by strong 6–12-month equity returns.

ZEROBASE WEEKLY 10.19–10.25 ZBT traded in a narrow band after opening the week near $0.068 on October 19. It pushed toward $0.071–$0.072 midweek on lighter volume, then gave back the gains and settled near $0.068 by the weekend. Spreads stayed tight and liquidity remained orderly, with no sharp liquidity gaps on the pullback from the local highs. Crypto spent the week consolidating after the early-month slide. Total market capitalization hovered between roughly $2.73T and $2.86T, peaking midweek before settling near $2.70T–$2.73T by Sunday. Bitcoin dominance held in the 59%–60% range. Bitcoin opened October 19 near $81,800–$82,000 after the prior weekend close around $82,000. It rallied as much as 3%–4% to a weekly high near $84,500–$84,800 on October 21–22, then reversed sharply. Price spent the remainder of the week sliding through the $81,300 area and closed near $80,400 on October 25. From the October 18 close that is a net decline of roughly 1.5%–2%, with the bulk of the damage coming after the midweek rejection. Ethereum followed the same path. ETH opened near $2,400–$2,410, printed a weekly high around $2,500–$2,525, then faded and finished near $2,340–$2,350. That left ETH roughly flat to slightly lower on the week. Derivatives and ETF flows told a clear two-phase story. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs drew roughly $1.07 billion from Monday through Wednesday ($527 million on October 19, $23 million on October 20, and $525 million on October 21), the strongest three-day run in nearly a month. The move reversed on Thursday and Friday with outflows of about $636 million and $138 million respectively, leaving the week with a net inflow of roughly $301 million and ending a two-week streak of outflows. Ether ETFs finished the week with approximately $221 million in net outflows. The late-week redemptions coincided with the price rejection above $84,000 and helped explain why the bounce failed to hold. Macro and geopolitics remained the dominant backdrop. The Federal Reserve stayed in its blackout period ahead of the October 28 decision, with markets pricing only a low single-digit probability of a hike. The 10-year Treasury yield began the week near 5.15% and finished near 4.95%–4.99%, with a sharp drop of nearly 20 basis points on Thursday—the largest one-day decline in years—as equities sold off and oil volatility rose. Oil itself stayed elevated amid the ongoing U.S.–Iran conflict, Houthi attacks, and Strait of Hormuz risks. Brent settled the week near $116–$117 after touching six-month highs, while WTI ended around $103. A temporary Russia sanctions waiver and mediation signals early in the week briefly eased prices, but renewed escalation talk later reversed the move. Falling yields and the equity rotation provided some offset for risk assets, yet the oil premium kept financial conditions from easing cleanly. U.S. equities finished mixed after a volatile week. From the October 16 close, the S&P 500 fell about 0.5% to 7,623.68. The Nasdaq Composite declined roughly 0.7% to 25,955, while the Dow rose about 0.4% to 52,215 and the Russell 2000 gained 2%. Monday and Wednesday posted modest gains; Thursday saw the largest decline of the week (S&P −1.2%, Nasdaq −2.6%) as Meta and semiconductor names sold off on AI spending concerns. The tape then stabilized on Friday. Leadership rotated away from mega-cap tech toward healthcare, consumer staples, and smaller caps, leaving the equal-weight S&P higher even as the headline index finished lower. Crypto Fear & Greed began the week in the high-50s (Greed), reached the mid-to-high 60s on the midweek bounce, and then cooled into Neutral territory in the low-to-mid 50s by the weekend. The shift matched the price action: early optimism around ETF inflows and the equity bid faded once the $84,000 rejection and Thursday equity selloff arrived. On-chain data showed elevated whale activity without a decisive accumulation or distribution signal. Several sessions recorded net exchange inflows in the low thousands of BTC, consistent with supply testing during the midweek rally and subsequent fade. One of the largest single-day bursts of large-UTXO spending in 2026 occurred around October 23, with more than 230,000 BTC (roughly $21 billion) moving on-chain; most of the coins had been dormant for one to six months and the transfers appeared to be between wallets rather than to exchanges. Mid-tier and whale cohorts remained mixed, with some wallets flipping to distribution while others continued to accumulate. In summary, October 19–25 was a failed bounce followed by consolidation. Spot prices briefly reclaimed the $84,000 area on the back of the strongest ETF inflow streak in weeks, then surrendered the gains as equities rotated out of AI names and oil remained elevated.
