The U.S. government shutdown may end in the next few days, a development that's likely to lift both equities and crypto assets. There's also the potential boost to sentiment from President Donald Trump’s proposal of a $2,000 “tariff dividend” for every American, funded by import duties.
The weeks is heavy on earnings reports. CoreWeave (CRWV), an AI cloud infrastructure firm, announces later Monday after its $9 billion all-stock offer to buy bitcoin miner Core Scientific (CORZ) was rebuffed. Circle Internet (CRCL), issuer of the the second-largest stablecoin USDT$0.9990, is scheduled for Wednesday.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
