Folks. 7 00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:25.600 I've been getting a lot of comments about ads on Spotify, 8 00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:28.600 and I apologize about that. I have the auto ad 9 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:32.159 insertion setups. I think it may have been a bit aggressive, 10 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:35.439 so I'm looking to fix that, so please bear with me, folks. 11 00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:37.479 I've got a lot of big news to share with you, guys, 12 00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.439 all important, so watch and listen to the end. First up, 13 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:45.119 DBS Franklin, Templeton, and Ripple team up to launch tokenized lending. 14 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:49.600 This is huge news for the XRP Ledger. So DBS, Franklin, Templeton, 15 00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.759 and Ripple have joined forces to roll out tokenized trading 16 00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:56.880 and lending services for institutional investors, built on the XRP 17 00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.119 Ledger and powered by tokenized money market funds and stable coins. 18 00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:04.760 This is huge, folks. The fudsters, the people who are 19 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:07.120 saying no one will use the XRP ledger. It's all 20 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.239 a scam. You got some of the biggest institutions now 21 00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.239 building on the XRP ledger. This is why we don't 22 00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:15.719 get emotional. We don't listen to a fud. We look 23 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.480 at facts, right. We want to be educated. So be 24 00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:21.799 careful with where you get your information from because I'm 25 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:24.719 giving you, guys the facts here that's being reported and 26 00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:28.439 this is huge news. So the TRIO signed a memorandum 27 00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:32.680 of understanding to help investors better manage market volatility by 28 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:36.120 offering a way to shift funds between stable coins and 29 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.159 yield generating assets. According to a Thursday announcement, here's a quote. 30 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:43.519 Digital asset investors need solutions that can meet the unique 31 00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:47.239 demands of a borderless twenty four to seven asset class, 32 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:52.079 said Lim wee Keon, CEO of DBS Digital Exchange. This 33 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.719 partnership demonstrates how token I securities can play that role 34 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.799 while injecting greater efficiency and liquidity in global markets. Key 35 00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:03.359 And said, so, folks, huge adoption news here for the 36 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.159 XRP ledger. All of this will help drive the price 37 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.840 of XRP higher. And I've been telling you guys, the 38 00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.520 charts look very bullish for XRP. That's why you see 39 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.680 a lot of Bitcoin Maxi's going after Ripple and XRP 40 00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.919 this cycle. They're scared because you've got the xrp's body 41 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:21.240 TF coming around, you got adoption of the XRP ledger, 42 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.919 the sec lawsuit is over, and you know, years ago 43 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.840 people would say, see no one's building on the XRP ledger. Yeah, 44 00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:29.919 no kidding, because there was a lawsuit around the company, 45 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.319 so no one wanted to take that risk. But if 46 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.520 I show you the data on RWA dot xyz, you 47 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.280 can go pull this up. This website tracks the tokenization 48 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:42.080 and building on blockchains. It gives you the stats. You 49 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.960 look at what has taken place this year for Ripple, 50 00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.960 and there has been a surge of building. The data 51 00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:51.919 doesn't lie. So we are seeing some really big things 52 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.759 launching on the XRP ledger by major institutions. And look 53 00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:59.360 at the names once again, DBS and Franklin Templeton. Those 54 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:03.560 are not crypto native small company startups. Those are legacy 55 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:07.599 tradi fi institutions. So, folks, very bullish news for XRP. 56 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.759 Now let's move ahead. Grayscale prepares to steak Ether holdings 57 00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:15.400 amid shifting SEC stands. This is according to Arkham, we're 58 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:19.319 seeing Grayscale shifting about forty thousand eighth and it could 59 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.560 signify that Staking is going to get approven e theorem 60 00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.439 ETFs very soon. I think we know it's a matter 61 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.560 of when, not if. The SEC is completely done a 62 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.680 one point eighty and we are seeing that multiple all 63 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:33.520 coin ETFs are going to be approved, and a big 64 00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.280 one is going to be staking in etherorem ETFs. So 65 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.919 the on chain data from Arkham Intelligence showed gray Scale 66 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:44.520 transferred more than forty thousand ether on Thursday, activity consistent 67 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:48.599 with positioning for staking rewards. Arkham noted that if confirmed, 68 00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:52.240 Grayscale could be the first US E theorem ETF sponsored 69 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.360 to steak its holdings. Now tomorrow I will actually be 70 00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.000 interviewing one of the folks from Grayscale, and I've had 71 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:00.960 them on the podcast, so I'm going to ask them 72 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.080 about this and all the details, and that interview should 73 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.479 be published next week. I'm also going to talk about 74 00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:10.159 the SEC approving the gray Scale crypto large cap fund 75 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.479 and that includes XRP, Cardono and much more. So I'll 76 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.079 get you guys all the details. So This is very 77 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:20.519 big folks, and I think with Staking getting approven etheremytaps, 78 00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:24.519 the inflowser are going to surge into Ethereum. Moving ahead, 79 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:28.240 we got some news here to potentially meta mask, which 80 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.800 we know was built by Consensus, which is part of 81 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:34.680 the Etherorem ecosystem. Joe Lubin, one of the founders of Etherorem, 82 00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:38.720 has confirmed a meta mask token is coming very soon. 83 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.560 So this is interesting and we'll see what type of 84 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.240 token they do come out with. But I think a 85 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.560 lot of folks are going to launch tokens now that 86 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.240 we have clarity so to speak, from the SEC and 87 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:52.319 not everything is going to be considered a security Obviously, 88 00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:55.000 there's going to have to be reporting to the SEC 89 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.319 and certain determinations are going to have to be made. 90 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.240 But clearly folks are looking to launch token, so this 91 00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:04.639 is very interesting. We got some updates around swee. Many 92 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.879 of you know I hold sweem my portfolio. I believe 93 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:09.279 it's a project that's going to do very well as 94 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:13.079 bullmarket cycle. It's already been doing well well. They are 95 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:17.759 a launch partner for Google's new Agentic payments protocol, so 96 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.839 great adoption news here to have Google build on your blockchain. 97 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.800 And you know we saw just recently Google also partner 98 00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:28.439 with coinbase to do this on base, which is the 99 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.920 ethereum layer to controlled by Coinbase. Now, I'll be interviewing 100 00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:36.360 someone from Suite the Sweet Foundation specifically tomorrow as well, 101 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:39.399 so I'll be publishing that interview for you guys next week. 102 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.399 So I'm gonna bring you all the details. Big things 103 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:44.680 happening in the market, folks. We're still in a bullmarket, 104 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.079 so I hope you are as excited as I am. Now, 105 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:50.800 quick word from our sponsor, and that is Treasure. Treasure 106 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:53.920 makes it easy for you to self custody your crypto assets. 107 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.879 I'm a big believer in self custody. It's the safest 108 00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.959 way to store your assets because you control your private keys. 109 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.279 And I'm a user of the Treasure say five. It's 110 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.519 a beautiful device, easy to use and Treasure they were 111 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.959 the pioneers of crypto hardware walls. They started this whole 112 00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:12.079 thing in twenty thirteen building a hardware wallet, setting up 113 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.240 the seed phrase setup. And they support a variety of 114 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:20.879 tokens folks. They support Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and much more, 115 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:23.959 even new tokens and They have a great software called 116 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:26.759 Treasure Suite, which allows you to easily manage all of 117 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.240 this on the device, and they have a handholding service. 118 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.560 If you're new to all of this, you can speak 119 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:34.399 to a Treasure rep who can walk you through the 120 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:36.920 process and don't worry, they're not asking for your private 121 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.240 keys or anything like that, but they're there to hold 122 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:41.279 your hand and answer any questions you have. So that's 123 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.000 a great, great customer service feature that many crypto companies 124 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.120 don't offer. So once again, I'm a user, And folks, 125 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.959 if you use the code thinking Crypto all one word 126 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:54.360 thinking Crypto, you can get five percent off a purchase 127 00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:57.560 of a device from Treasure. So if you'd like to 128 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.560 learn more, check out the link in the description. Now, folks, 129 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.639 we thought we were rid of Gary Genzer, but he's back. 130 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.959 He crawled out from under his rock to go on 131 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.399 CNBC today and spread a lot of his BS lies 132 00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:13.120 and fun about crypto. And it's the same BS talking points, 133 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:17.160 but this time around it was very interesting. The hosts 134 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.120 and on CNBC were roasting him. They were actually like 135 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.439 making fun of him. So first, let me play a 136 00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.680 short clip here of some of the nonsense he had 137 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:25.040 to say. 138 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:28.879 So when I look at the field, the trades mostly 139 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:35.319 on s on momentum, mostly on frankly hype. 140 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:39.879 For investors, do you think this is dangerous what they're doing? 141 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.959 I think that for investors, every day investors, the five 142 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:48.480 to ten percent of Americans who invest in crypto, and 143 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:51.319 it's hard to get the real you know, but that 144 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:56.000 it's a highly speculative, very risky asset. And then most 145 00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:01.160 of these tokens, put aside bitcoin to the other tokens, 146 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.360 are not tied to any fundamentals. And there's five or 147 00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:09.279 ten thousand of these tokens. So usually over time you 148 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.879 find new equilibriums. Like Warren Buffett would say, what you know, 149 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.279 what are the goods, what are the revenues? What are 150 00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:16.920 they selling? 151 00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:20.959 And so they are reversing a lot of what you did, 152 00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:22.800 and how are you feeling about what they're doing now? 153 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:26.199 So I'm very proud of what we accomplished. 154 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:29.040 And the crypto community is ecstatic not to have you 155 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.920 there anymore, and to have him to have him there. 156 00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.360 Looking back on it, I mean, do you think that 157 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:35.200 was the right call? 158 00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:36.919 Yes? 159 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:40.039 I think because look now we have this like burgeoning 160 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:42.519 industry and there's so much more innovation and leadership in 161 00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:43.720 the US and a lot more. 162 00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:44.639 Capital coming into it. 163 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:49.919 There may be more capital in terms of the interest 164 00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:53.879 in the public. The public is interested, I get that, 165 00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:58.799 But for investors. 166 00:08:58.240 --> 00:08:59.840 Do you think this is dangerous what they're doing? 167 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.879 Put a side bitcoing, but most of the other tokens 168 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.720 are not tied to any fundamentals. Like Warren Buffett would say, 169 00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:10.799 what you know, what are the goods, what are the revenues? 170 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.279 What are they selling? And so forth? 171 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:15.399 Did you catch what he said there at the end, 172 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:19.600 like trying to take use born Buffet and talking about 173 00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:23.679 traditional business model. What are they selling? Was their revenue? Like, bro, 174 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:27.240 that's not what's happening here. Blockchain networks are very different, 175 00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.960 and yes there's a component of revenue and fees and 176 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.360 so forth, but you can't compare it apples to apples 177 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:36.120 to Amazon, which is, you know, a retailer selling products. 178 00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:37.840 So he's using the old tricks he was doing in 179 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.679 the back in the day right to refool the public, 180 00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:43.440 saying you don't worry about these things, man, you want 181 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.639 to invest in real companies that are selling products and 182 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:51.159 generating revenue. Like there's a paradigm shift happening. He knows this, folks. 183 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:55.360 Remember he was teaching these things at MIT, but all 184 00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:57.960 of a sudden he went against crypto. But let me 185 00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:00.519 give you some insights from folks I've and talking to 186 00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:04.159 in DC about what's happening here. So yesterday I told 187 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:06.919 you guys about Summer Mersinger, who I actually interviewed today 188 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.039 and that interview will be published next week. CEO of 189 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:12.480 the Blockchain Association. She put out a op end and 190 00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:16.039 coin get talking about the banks are trying to change 191 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.960 the language in the stable coin bill, even though they 192 00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:22.960 reviewed it before it was passed into law. What's happening here? 193 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:26.759 Buyer's remorse right, The banks are panicking again. They're trying 194 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.120 to slow us all down. And of course they have 195 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.360 their puppets, Garretgainser, the same guy that was working for 196 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.000 them over the past four years with Elizabeth Warren. Right, 197 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:39.000 how many times have I told you, guys, I've heard 198 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.000 it from people in DC. The banking lobby weaponized against 199 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.759 her and Elizabeth Warren and Sharad Brown to attack crypto companies. 200 00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:49.320 That's why I've been saying, why would a old grandma 201 00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:52.039 like Elizabeth Warren be be so crazy about crypto. The 202 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:55.399 country has bigger issues, but she was so focused on that. 203 00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:59.000 She's getting that banking lobby money. That's what's going on, 204 00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:01.759 and against their is also part of that. So that's 205 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:03.960 why you see Ganser all of a sudden pop out 206 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:06.240 of nowhere. Isn't it funny? 207 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:06.519 Right? 208 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:08.960 Is it a coincidence? The timing of this. The banks 209 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:11.399 are trying to change the language and the stable point bill, 210 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:14.639 and then Ganser pops up, and you know Elizabeth Warren 211 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:17.360 is right behind, right, that train is never late. You 212 00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:19.320 know she's gonna come out with some sort of fud. 213 00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:23.399 So watch out, We're gonna have to fight again. Two 214 00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:25.879 people have spoken to this week who are doing advocacy 215 00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:29.039 in DC said the banks are coming back again trying 216 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:32.960 to fight. So it was weaponize Elizabeth Warren, Gary Genser, 217 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:37.039 go attack the crypto startups, Operation choke point two point zero, 218 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.600 cut off banking. We know a lot of that has ended, 219 00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:41.279 but they're not going down with a fight. 220 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:41.759 Now. 221 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:43.879 I know somebody you're gonna say, Tony, but we've seen 222 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.679 so many news items of banks adopting crypto, and I 223 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.279 tweeted out about it. I said they are at a disadvantage, right, 224 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:53.360 now because with the Genius Act in place, the favorable 225 00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:58.200 crypto environment, crypto companies are moving much faster, launching products, 226 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:02.480 further iteration, bringing more services to the public. The banks 227 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:06.399 are still waiting on the clarityac They can't they're doing 228 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:09.200 trial and error testing, but they can't launch something into 229 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:11.960 production yet, they can't release it to the public. Right, 230 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:15.639 So that's why all of a sudden, hey, slow it 231 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:17.840 down again, right, we need to catch up, because we've 232 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.799 heard these banks want to launch crypto trading. They want 233 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.440 to they're tokenizing, they want to launch their own stable points. 234 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.840 So of course they're trying to change the stable coin bill, right, 235 00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:30.840 how dare you go to an exchange platform and earn 236 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:34.080 higher yield and APR than what you get in our 237 00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:36.799 checking and savings accounts? And of course, like I said, 238 00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:40.919 they got their scumbag puppet Gary Ginser used to be 239 00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:44.159 scumbag regulator. Now I'm going to call them scumbag puppet 240 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:47.759 Gary Ginser and Elizabeth warrened to follow. They're going to 241 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.519 go on the attack again. So watch out, folks. But 242 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:55.000 they've already lost. They've already lost. Crypto is here to stay. 243 00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:57.320 The training is up, the station the genies out the bottle. 244 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.240 So the crypto is a four now and all the 245 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:03.919 banks are starting to bend the need from an adoption standpoint, 246 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:05.879 But that doesn't mean they're not going to fight politically 247 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.200 to make sure they can capture the market and kick 248 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.960 out the crypto startups. So we'll have to watch as closely, 249 00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:16.120 all right, Moving ahead, PayPal expands p y us the 250 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.159 stable coin, to tron Avalanche and six other chains, So 251 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:23.720 clearly competition's heating up here, guys, game theory, no one 252 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:27.639 wants to get left behind. So PayPal, of course has 253 00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:29.840 one of the largest stable coins out there. They have 254 00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:33.080 a huge network with Venmo, so of course they're trying 255 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:35.960 to expand their stable coins to other blockchains that have 256 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:39.360 interoperability to get more adoption. They're trying to go after Circle, 257 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:41.600 they're trying to go after Ripple, they're trying to go 258 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:45.279 after a tether of course. Rights it's game on and 259 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.399 the race is heating up. So the blockchains they're expanding 260 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:52.720 to includes tron Avalanche, app Doose, Abstract, Inc, Say, and 261 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:56.879 Stable And they said while existing permissionless versions on bear 262 00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.799 a chain never heard of that, and Flow will upgrade 263 00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:04.639 to py USDO. A separate announcement on Thursday has revealed 264 00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:08.960 that PYUSD has expanded to Stellar. So big move by 265 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:12.759 PayPal here and they got the brand and their stable 266 00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:16.679 coin is issued by PACSOS and it's been doing well. 267 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.320 So guys, it's amazing to see what's happening here, all right, 268 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:25.120 Look at this London Stock Exchange lists new Bitcoin staking etp. 269 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:31.080 SO stock exchanges, credit card companies, payment companies, banks all 270 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:33.840 launching products and they're doing it globally. It's not in 271 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:38.399 one region or one country. So Defied technology subsidiary Valor 272 00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:42.120 has introduced a bitcoin staking exchange traded product on the 273 00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:47.080 London Stock Exchange, providing investors with crypto yield opportunities as 274 00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:51.519 the UK moves towards easing restrictions on digital assets. According 275 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:54.960 to a Thursday announcement, the Bitcoin staking ETP has a 276 00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:58.360 one point four percent annual yield and is backed by 277 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.960 bitcoin held in cold star orige with security coming from 278 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:08.240 multi party computation technology. Very very bullish, guys. And remember 279 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:10.600 it starts a bitcoin and then it will go to 280 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:14.000 all coins. Right, so we've seen this time and time again, 281 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:19.200 so expect eventually eth XRP Solana and much more. Now 282 00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:24.000 New Bank plans stable coin integration for credit card transactions. 283 00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:28.320 I laugh because it's like, oh my gosh, we were 284 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.080 talking about these things for years back in twenty eighteen, 285 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:34.240 that all of these firms would eventually bend the knee 286 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:37.919 because this technology is the future. And you just see 287 00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:41.080 from across the globe all these countries coming in. A 288 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:44.200 New Bank. By the way, they're one of those neo banks. 289 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:47.519 And actually Warren Buffett's firm is invested in it, so 290 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:51.559 he's invested indirectly in crypto, and you know, and it's 291 00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:55.519 just a sliver here with New Bank, but nevertheless still exposure. 292 00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:59.600 New Bank, Latin America's largest digital bank, is reportedly planning 293 00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:02.720 to inter grade dollar pegs, stable coins, and credit cards 294 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.919 for payments. The move was disclosed by the bank's vice 295 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:11.039 chairman and former governor of Brazil Central Bank, Roberto compost Nito. 296 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:14.519 Speaking at the Meridian twenty twenty five event on Wednesday, 297 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.919 he highlighted the importance of blockchain technology in connecting digital 298 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:23.519 assets with the traditional banking system. Let me repeat that 299 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:28.159 for you, guys. He highlighted the importance of blockchain technology 300 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:34.720 in connecting digital assets with the traditional banking system. If 301 00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:37.000 you are still on the fence, I don't know what 302 00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:39.799 you're looking at. I don't know what you're reading or 303 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:44.120 who you're listening to. But wake up, wake up, wake up. 304 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:47.639 This technology is here to stay. This is their next 305 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:51.200 layer on top of the Internet. Blockchain rails will power 306 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:54.720 the economies, markets, and governments. It's all going to run 307 00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:58.320 on blockchain, folks, and adoption is moving at a rapid 308 00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:02.120 pace here now moving head, look at this Bank of Canada. 309 00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:07.400 Implement stable coin regulatory framework or get run over. So 310 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:11.200 you see the urgency coming out from different folks around 311 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.160 the globe, like adapt or die. Right. I've often given 312 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:19.119 the analogy of Blockbuster. Netflix came along and say hey, 313 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:21.519 you want to buy us, No, we don't want to know. 314 00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:23.839 MUD's gonna use the internet. Nobody's going to go online 315 00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:26.440 to watch stuff. And we know what happened to Blockbuster, 316 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:29.680 and we know what happened to Netflix. Right, So this 317 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:33.480 is where many companies, banks, and much more. If they 318 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:36.759 don't adapt to this thing, they're gonna die. So Canada's 319 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:39.599 Central Bank is calling for the country to establish a 320 00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:44.000 stable coin regulatory framework to modernize the payment system and 321 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:48.160 avoid falling behind other countries that are moving forward with 322 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:51.200 such policies. Here's a quote. Even if you're on the 323 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:54.000 right track, you'll get run over if you sit there. 324 00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:58.519 Ron Morrow, the Executive Director of Payments, Supervision and Oversight 325 00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:01.039 at the Bank of Canada, said in a speech on 326 00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:05.799 Thursday at the Chartered Professional Accountants Conference in Ottawa, Canada, 327 00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:10.119 a transcript of which was published on the Central Bank's website. 328 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:14.119 Morrow called on federal and provisional regulators to create a 329 00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:17.200 policy framework for stable coins. Here's a quote. At the 330 00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:19.519 end of the day. For stable coins to be seen 331 00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:22.319 as money, they need to be as safe and stable 332 00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:26.240 as the balance in your bank account. Wow. So, folks, 333 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:30.319 game theory playing out here. Everybody's recognizing we better get 334 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.799 on this train or we're gonna get left behind. Moving ahead. 335 00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:38.160 Final news item, Maelstrom and Amoga back Buyer Protocol's bid 336 00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:42.759 to unite AI, biotech and crypto. So we've seen depen 337 00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:46.759 and DeFi. Well, there's a new sector that's rising up 338 00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:51.640 called DECI decentralized science and folks, Maelstrom, that's Arthur Hayes 339 00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:55.759 and Emoca Brands. That is YACHTSU, both of whom I've 340 00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:59.960 had on the podcast, big big players in the crypto 341 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:02.359 investment space, and they're putting a lot of money in 342 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:05.720 different projects. So this is what we want to watch 343 00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:09.160 closely for the next bull market. So for example, in 344 00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:12.039 the bear market of twenty twenty two and even early 345 00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:14.519 twenty twenty three, I took a bet on AI tokens 346 00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:16.640 because I thought that's going to be a big narrative. 347 00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:18.880 So I bought Fetch and Render and those did well. 348 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:21.519 They did well for my portfolio. So I'll give you 349 00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:24.720 heads up. I'm going to be looking at decentralized science 350 00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:27.759 projects which are not getting big views right now. New 351 00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:30.359 tokens are going to be launched. So it's a great opportunity, 352 00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:32.400 not financial advice, to get to do your research. But 353 00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:35.640 I'm sharing with you guys. My plan is strategy. You 354 00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:38.359 don't have to follow it, of course, and how I'm 355 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:40.200 going to be positioning for the next bull market of 356 00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.960 twenty twenty eight, twenty thirty, and you know that timeline 357 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:46.079 and so forth. But you know when I'm going to buy, 358 00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:48.759 not in the pumps, not in the top of the market, 359 00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:51.559 but when there's blood on the streets and everybody's fearful 360 00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:55.039 again and calling cryptoisgam right, I'll be buying backing the 361 00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:57.319 truck up. I know I've said that many times, but 362 00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:00.400 I want to hammer at home what is help me 363 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.119 to make money in this market. That's being a contrarian 364 00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:07.119 to the herd and not following Jim Kramer and mainstream media, 365 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:12.640 but understanding the charts, global liquidity, the different metrics and signals, 366 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:17.000 who's making moves, the facts of who's investing in building right, 367 00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:19.559 that's what we want to follow. So let me give 368 00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:24.119 you the details here. Decentralized science platform bio Protocols secure 369 00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:28.279 backing from investors including Mailstrom Fund and Animoka Brands to 370 00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:34.519 expand its artificial intelligence native biotech research framework. Bioprotocol announced 371 00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:38.039 Wednesday that it had raised six point nine million dollars 372 00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:43.160 in funding, reflecting growing interests in decentralized approaches to drug 373 00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:50.200 discovery that integrate AI, blockchain, and community management. See what's 374 00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:53.960 happening here, right, New sectors, new industries are going to 375 00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:57.279 adopt blockchains, and there's going to be new coins on 376 00:20:57.359 --> 00:20:59.680 these things launched. Not everything's going to be a winner, 377 00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:03.160 but you know, in a speculative phase, if you're early 378 00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:05.599 to certain tokens they can rise up. And now I 379 00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:07.799 often say, hey, look, I stay away from meme coins 380 00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:10.599 and stuff like that, but I will invest in projects 381 00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:13.799 that have real world potential and impact right clearly, and 382 00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:17.440 they're backed by very big vcs and hedge ones. So 383 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:21.640 Mailstrom founder Arthur Hayes described buyer Protocol as a potential 384 00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:26.400 category defining launchpad for scientific research. If it works, it's 385 00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:28.480 not just a launch pad, it's the birth of an 386 00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:33.119 AI native research market, he said. Hayes also highlighted how 387 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:37.960 it opens up research opportunities that communities find appealing, not 388 00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:43.559 just what academics find interesting, very very interesting news here folks, 389 00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:45.759 And like I said, you know, bookmark this, put this 390 00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:50.440 in your notes. Tony said, watch for decentralized science tokens 391 00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:54.039 and coins and projects. Right, So if you stick with me, 392 00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:56.240 we can go through this process and I can highlight 393 00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:58.839 some of these new categories which can give you some 394 00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:01.200 nice returns, you know, like I said, just like I 395 00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:03.599 took the bet on AI and you know, in the 396 00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:06.839 previous bull market it was like DeFi summer, and you 397 00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:09.519 know in twenty seventeen it was icos and so forth. 398 00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:12.720 So this is where we want to be educated. We 399 00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:16.400 want to follow what's developing the market. Where are the 400 00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:19.319 vcs and the hedge ones putting your money in liquidity? 401 00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:22.359
