<v Speaker 1>Hey, everyone, Welcome into the Thinking Crypto podcast. I'm your host,

<v Speaker 1>a five star rating. Okay, folks, let's kick it off

7
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:24.879
<v Speaker 1>with some news from Harvard. So Harvard Endowment has reduced

8
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>their steak in bitcoin ETFs and added exposure to the

9
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:32.039
<v Speaker 1>Etherorem ETF. This is a very interesting move. So they

10
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:35.560
<v Speaker 1>haven't completely dumped their bitcoin ETFs, it's just that they're

11
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>reducing that side of it and going into an all coin,

12
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:41.479
<v Speaker 1>which is Etherorem. This is very interesting, especially in the

13
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.520
<v Speaker 1>context of what I've been reporting recently of black Rock

14
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:48.119
<v Speaker 1>investing in uniswap, buying the tokens, moving their money market

15
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:52.119
<v Speaker 1>fund on the decentralized exchange. But uniewap's token is considered

16
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:55.359
<v Speaker 1>an all coin, and you have Citadel investing Layer zero.

17
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:59.799
<v Speaker 1>Yesterday we talked about Apollo investing in Morpho tokens, another

18
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>all coin. So something interesting is happening here, and it

19
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:05.719
<v Speaker 1>could be there's going to be a big narrative around

20
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:09.799
<v Speaker 1>DFIVE and all coins as Bitcoin. Let's say, for example,

21
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:13.159
<v Speaker 1>the relief rally we're looking at that may be coming

22
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>very soon. You know, all coins could outperform Bitcoin, so Ether,

23
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:20.599
<v Speaker 1>x RP and others could outperform Bitcoin, but we're gonna

24
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.200
<v Speaker 1>have to wait and see. There's no guarantees there. But nevertheless,

25
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:25.760
<v Speaker 1>these are some very interesting moves, so let me give

26
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.040
<v Speaker 1>it to details. The Harvard Management Company, which manages the

27
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>university's endowment, has reduced its stake in Blackrock Spot Bitcoin

28
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>exchange traded fund and opened a new position in the

29
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:42.400
<v Speaker 1>asset Management Company's Ether ETF. In a Friday filing with

30
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 1>the SEC, Harvard's endowment reported that it had reduced its

31
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>positions in the black Rock I Shares Bitcoin ETF to

32
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and sixty five point eight million dollars as

33
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.359
<v Speaker 1>of December thirty first, down from four hundred and forty

34
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:00.120
<v Speaker 1>two point nine million in Q three of last years.

35
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Means mark the company offloading more than one million shares

36
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.680
<v Speaker 1>of the ETF to five point four million in Q

37
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:10.120
<v Speaker 1>four from six point eight million in Q three. But

38
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.759
<v Speaker 1>in this reduction they have added exposure or purchased more

39
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.919
<v Speaker 1>than three point eight million shares of Black Rocks I

40
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.879
<v Speaker 1>shares etherorem Trust valued at about eighty seven million dollars

41
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.840
<v Speaker 1>as of December thirty first, So very interesting move here.

42
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:28.439
<v Speaker 1>And again they're not completely reducing their exposure to bitcoin,

43
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 1>but just updating their portfolio diversifying a bit. So this

44
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 1>is very interesting. Now, moving ahead, tokenize RWA's climb thirteen

45
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:41.400
<v Speaker 1>point five percent despite the one trillion dollar crypto market drawdown.

46
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.759
<v Speaker 1>So despite the crypto volatility and the bear market, the

47
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:48.159
<v Speaker 1>building continues, and this is why I'm macro bullish. Guys.

48
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 1>All of the major institutions, the banks, the stock exchanges,

49
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 1>the payment companies are all building. But remember markets are cyclical, right,

50
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.879
<v Speaker 1>so a lot of building usually happens in the bear market.

51
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.120
<v Speaker 1>So it's very good to see this. And I've been

52
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 1>saying that I believe once the Crypto Market Structure Bill

53
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:08.639
<v Speaker 1>is passed and then we enter into a bull market

54
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>phase again, we're going to see the supercycle. And I

55
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>honestly believe that. I'm not saying that to hype you

56
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:18.039
<v Speaker 1>guys up, but seriously, look at the adoption we're getting,

57
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.719
<v Speaker 1>and once you have legislation that's going to unlock a

58
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>lot more innovation, plus a lot more capital to be invested,

59
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:29.039
<v Speaker 1>so demand for tokenized real world assets continued to grow

60
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.759
<v Speaker 1>over the past month, even as broader cryptocurrency markets faced

61
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>heavy selling pressure. Underscoring the sector's resilience and growing institutional footprint,

62
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the total value of on chain RWAs increased the thirteen

63
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:44.919
<v Speaker 1>point five percent over the past thirty days, according to

64
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.479
<v Speaker 1>data from RWA dot xyz. The increase reflects both higher

65
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>asset issuanes meaning more tokenized securities brought onto public blockchains,

66
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>and growth in the number of unique wallet addresses holding

67
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:03.599
<v Speaker 1>these assets, signaling banding participation. As of February sixteenth, all

68
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 1>major blockchain networks tracked by RWA dot xyz recorded increases

69
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:12.319
<v Speaker 1>in tokenized ACID value, led by Ethereum with roughly one

70
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.160
<v Speaker 1>point seven billion dollars in net growth, followed by Arbitrum

71
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.319
<v Speaker 1>at eight hundred and eighty million dollars and Solana at

72
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.680
<v Speaker 1>five hundred and thirty million dollars. The figures refer to

73
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:26.759
<v Speaker 1>the increase in total unchain value of tokenized assets issued

74
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>or circulating on those networks. By the way, folks, bookmark

75
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.639
<v Speaker 1>this site RWA dot xyz. That's where you can go

76
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:37.040
<v Speaker 1>look at many different blockchains like the ones mentioned, even

77
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the XRP Ledger and Cardano and others, right, so you

78
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.879
<v Speaker 1>can see what's being built and that's updated on a

79
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:46.560
<v Speaker 1>daily basis. So this is really great data and really

80
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.920
<v Speaker 1>great to see building is continuing to happen again despite

81
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 1>the price conditions that we're in right now. And here's

82
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:59.399
<v Speaker 1>another example. Citybank is quietly building its crypto wealth business.

83
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:03.399
<v Speaker 1>So here is another LinkedIn job post from a major institution.

84
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Yesterday we talked about Charles Schwab and they're looking to

85
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 1>hire people to build out their stable coin business. And

86
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.800
<v Speaker 1>here City Bank has the title or the job title

87
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:19.279
<v Speaker 1>as Wealth CIO Digital Assets Specialism Senior Vice President. So

88
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>all of these institutions are hiring the respective talent to

89
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:27.800
<v Speaker 1>build out their divisions and this segment of their business. Folks,

90
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.720
<v Speaker 1>that's a huge tell, right, So they're not just giving

91
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.600
<v Speaker 1>lip service here. They are seriously looking to build and

92
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:36.399
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing a lot of news. You know they're going

93
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:38.839
<v Speaker 1>to launch their stable coins, custody and all these things,

94
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.279
<v Speaker 1>but you need the talent. So this is why again

95
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:44.319
<v Speaker 1>i'm macro bullish, because these things are still being set up.

96
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:46.560
<v Speaker 1>So what do you think is going to happen as

97
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.720
<v Speaker 1>all of these institutions start building on public blockchains, because

98
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.360
<v Speaker 1>we know public blockchains is the way, right, that's where

99
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the settlement happens, That's where the liquidity is. JP Morgan

100
00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:58.639
<v Speaker 1>and some of these folks who try to build the

101
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>wall gardens have learned lessons and even if they keep

102
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.079
<v Speaker 1>those private permission chains in house, they have the bridge

103
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to the public chains. So the mandate spans product strategy, commercialization,

104
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:14.839
<v Speaker 1>and client engagement as crypto moves deeper into private wealth.

105
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.439
<v Speaker 1>So we're going to see this type of activity skyrocket

106
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:22.079
<v Speaker 1>once the Crypto Market Structure Bill is passed. Okay, moving ahead,

107
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:26.959
<v Speaker 1>Winter Mute launches institutional tokenized gold trading. Expects market to

108
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.439
<v Speaker 1>reach fifteen billion dollars in twenty twenty six. So we

109
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.839
<v Speaker 1>know all assets are going on chain, guys, right, all

110
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.360
<v Speaker 1>the major asset classes, precious metals, stocks and equities, real

111
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>estate and gold. You know it's a big one. They're

112
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna have tokenized silver as well. So now Winter Meat,

113
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.079
<v Speaker 1>which is a market maker, and many of you in

114
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.639
<v Speaker 1>the crypto industry may know of Winter Mute now offering

115
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:52.519
<v Speaker 1>tokenized gold. Guys, the future markets economies and governments will

116
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:56.519
<v Speaker 1>all run on blockchain rails. So winter Meat has launched

117
00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:00.399
<v Speaker 1>the institutional OTC trading for tokenized gold products such as

118
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:06.439
<v Speaker 1>pax G and xau T. Winter Meat CEO Evgeny GAYVOI,

119
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 1>if I'm saying that right projected, the sector could expand

120
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:13.720
<v Speaker 1>to two point eight x to fifteen billion dollars in

121
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:17.959
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty six, even as broader markets remain subdued. So

122
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.920
<v Speaker 1>this is what you want to see, right, the infrastructure

123
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>being built around RWA tokenized assets. And again these things

124
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:30.439
<v Speaker 1>are being tokenized on public blockchains, right, So and you

125
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.319
<v Speaker 1>can obviously, you know, utilize these tokenized assets for different things.

126
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm waiting personally for when they open up DeFi where

127
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:40.920
<v Speaker 1>you can do certain boring and lending around them, and

128
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.519
<v Speaker 1>you can do that globally. So I think that's going

129
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.000
<v Speaker 1>to be the big value proposition that a lot of

130
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.519
<v Speaker 1>people are going to take advantage of, folks. This episode

131
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:50.279
<v Speaker 1>is brought to you by v Chain. V chain is

132
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:53.839
<v Speaker 1>one of the top layer one enterprise blockchains in the industry,

133
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:56.279
<v Speaker 1>getting of a lot of adoption. I am a VET

134
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.959
<v Speaker 1>token holder. I have been for many years on bullish

135
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:01.439
<v Speaker 1>on this project. They are working with Dana White in

136
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>the UFC. Last year, Daana whitesid he bought a million

137
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:07.079
<v Speaker 1>dollars in the VET token. They're working with companies and

138
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:12.519
<v Speaker 1>brands such as Boston Consulting Group, Walmart, China, BMWPWC and many,

139
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>many more, and many different enterprises are using v Chain's

140
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.680
<v Speaker 1>blockchain to build really cool ecosystem or web three ecosystem

141
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:26.480
<v Speaker 1>items where it includes rewards for example doing environmentally safe

142
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:29.399
<v Speaker 1>things and staying healthy and exercising and so forth. So

143
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:33.000
<v Speaker 1>it's really cool and I think these type of initiatives

144
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.799
<v Speaker 1>are the future where people are going to be rewarded

145
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.840
<v Speaker 1>with tokens and participating in ecosystems and be incentivized to

146
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.039
<v Speaker 1>do so. Check out v chain guys. Again, I am

147
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.519
<v Speaker 1>a token holder and you can also steak the token

148
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.679
<v Speaker 1>on stargate. So if you'd like to learn more, go

150
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.240
<v Speaker 1>now here's some good news. Crypto services platform Nexo relaunches

151
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.639
<v Speaker 1>in the United States. So Nexo, they had exited the

152
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.039
<v Speaker 1>US in twenty twenty two that was under you know,

153
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the very hostile environment with Gary Ginser and much more.

154
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:08.440
<v Speaker 1>And I don't blame them for leaving. Right, that was

155
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:10.840
<v Speaker 1>a hard time and a lot of companies were getting sued.

156
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.799
<v Speaker 1>So they said now, citing improved regulatory clarity for digital

157
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:19.919
<v Speaker 1>assets in the US, The rebooted Nexo platform will offer

158
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:24.919
<v Speaker 1>flexible and fixed term yield programs, a spot cryptocurrency exchange,

159
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:29.279
<v Speaker 1>crypto backed credit lines, and a loyalty program for US users.

160
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:33.799
<v Speaker 1>Nexo's head of communications eleanor Genova toll Coin telegraphs, so

161
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:37.240
<v Speaker 1>this is really great more options, right, Competition is healthy

162
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:40.320
<v Speaker 1>and it helps the consumer to have more options. And

163
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:43.519
<v Speaker 1>so I don't recall using the Nexo platform, but I remember,

164
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:47.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, hearing of them during the early days of cryptos.

165
00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:50.080
<v Speaker 1>So really great that they're back in the US. Now.

166
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Okx Exchange secures an EU payment license to expand stable

167
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:58.720
<v Speaker 1>coin services. So the race is on amongst all these

168
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.360
<v Speaker 1>crypto platforms. In ext gangy just to get as many

169
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.000
<v Speaker 1>licenses as possible to set up shop across the globe,

170
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:08.039
<v Speaker 1>because it's a race, right, everybody wants to get as

171
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.200
<v Speaker 1>much market share because we are still in the early

172
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.240
<v Speaker 1>innings of the adoption of blockchaining crypto. So ok x

173
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:19.559
<v Speaker 1>has obtained a payment institution license in Malta. The company

174
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:23.159
<v Speaker 1>toll Coin Telegraph on Monday. The authorization is issued under

175
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:26.879
<v Speaker 1>the European Union's Payments Framework and is designed to bring

176
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:31.600
<v Speaker 1>okayx's payment products into line with requirements under the Block's

177
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation or the AMIKA Regulation and

178
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the second Payment Services Directive. So big news here for

179
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:45.159
<v Speaker 1>okax Exchange. And here's another example. Animoga Brand secures Dubai

180
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:48.399
<v Speaker 1>crypto license to expand services in the Middle East. Now,

181
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:51.320
<v Speaker 1>many of you may recall I interviewed the founder and

182
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:56.240
<v Speaker 1>CEO of Animoga Brands and that's Yatsu very very brilliant man,

183
00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:00.120
<v Speaker 1>and I always enjoyed speaking to him. And Animoka Brands

184
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.840
<v Speaker 1>is huge in the Asian markets. They're one of the

185
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:08.200
<v Speaker 1>powerhouses in crypto, making huge investments in blockchain and crypto tech.

186
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:13.360
<v Speaker 1>And here you know, getting their licenses expanding. So very

187
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:17.000
<v Speaker 1>very bullish. And look at this. Hong Kong regulator approves

188
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:20.840
<v Speaker 1>first crypto company license since June. So they granted the

189
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>license to Victory Fintech. Never heard of that. There are

190
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:29.519
<v Speaker 1>now twelve approved platforms on the Securities and Futures Commission

191
00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:32.919
<v Speaker 1>Registry of Approved crypto firms. So we are seeing across

192
00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:37.039
<v Speaker 1>the globe, they're not banning crypto, putting the guardbils in place,

193
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:40.879
<v Speaker 1>putting the rules and regulations, giving companies licenses that meet

194
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:43.879
<v Speaker 1>a certain standard, right, because we don't want people to

195
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:47.600
<v Speaker 1>also go around scamming people. Remember Celsias, remember FTX, Right,

196
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:52.519
<v Speaker 1>we need to have regulated institutions. However, there's a balance there, right,

197
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.600
<v Speaker 1>because here in the United States, we're still trying to

198
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:57.360
<v Speaker 1>find that balance. Banks want to stop stable coe yield.

199
00:11:57.399 --> 00:11:59.960
<v Speaker 1>They also don't like DeFi but we got to find

200
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.000
<v Speaker 1>to balance and I think we will. We just have

201
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.399
<v Speaker 1>to be patient and let all this set up. And again,

202
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:09.440
<v Speaker 1>this is all setting up for that super cycle, right guys,

203
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:11.759
<v Speaker 1>So just be patient and make sure you have the

204
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:15.879
<v Speaker 1>macro view. Final news item here Germany's Central Bank president

205
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:20.320
<v Speaker 1>touts stable coin and CBDC benefits for the EU. Again,

206
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:25.840
<v Speaker 1>the future economies, markets and governments will run on blockchain rails.

207
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.679
<v Speaker 1>And you're seeing the narrative being flipped here. And look,

208
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:30.480
<v Speaker 1>CBDCs are going to be a part of it. I'm

209
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.279
<v Speaker 1>not saying I like CBDCs or I endorse it, just

210
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.440
<v Speaker 1>this is the nature of the beast. Here in the

211
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:39.720
<v Speaker 1>United States, there have been steps or certain legislation put

212
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:42.639
<v Speaker 1>into place to try to stop CBDCs. But one could

213
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:46.080
<v Speaker 1>argue stable coins almost do the same thing as CBDCs.

214
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:49.080
<v Speaker 1>But that's a conversation for another day. But other countries

215
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:52.000
<v Speaker 1>are going to push for CBDC. So you and your

216
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.480
<v Speaker 1>respective country wherever you're listening from, need to then, you know,

217
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:00.720
<v Speaker 1>make sure you watch it closely and push back if needed.

218
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:04.039
<v Speaker 1>You know, if there's things that are draconian that will

219
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:06.679
<v Speaker 1>take away your privacy and much more so. The president

220
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:10.440
<v Speaker 1>of Germany Central Bank, I'm going to butcher his name, yo,

221
00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Kim Nagel if I'm saying right, supported the introduction of

222
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:18.360
<v Speaker 1>a Europegate Central Bank digital currency and a Euro denominated

223
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.159
<v Speaker 1>stable coins for payments. In remarks prepared for a speech

224
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:25.840
<v Speaker 1>at the New Year's Reception of the American Chamber of

225
00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Commerce in Frankfurt on Monday, Nagel said EU officials were

226
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:35.799
<v Speaker 1>working hard toward the introduction of a retail CBDC euro

227
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.240
<v Speaker 1>denominated stable coins, according to the central Bank president, could

228
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:42.519
<v Speaker 1>also contribute to making your more independent in terms of

229
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:47.240
<v Speaker 1>payment systems and solutions. So again, do you see the

230
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.799
<v Speaker 1>direction of Puck is heading here? Guys? The token economy

231
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:55.960
<v Speaker 1>despite the bull and bear market cycles still being built,

232
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:59.960
<v Speaker 1>still being established, and you know, maybe by twenty three,

233
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:03.600
<v Speaker 1>once we have all the legislation in plays that maybe

234
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:08.399
<v Speaker 1>that is where we see that supercycle. Right. But nevertheless,

235
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:11.840
<v Speaker 1>just like the Internet and other technologies, they're embracing it,

236
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:15.080
<v Speaker 1>they're regulating it. The taxman's going to take his cut.

237
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Of course, there's gonna be a lot of jobs created

238
00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:20.799
<v Speaker 1>out of this. The big institutions are building with the

239
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.840
<v Speaker 1>public blockchains, and that's where you want to look at

240
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:29.559
<v Speaker 1>which blockchains are getting adopted and hold those respective tokens. So, folks,

241
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:31.600
<v Speaker 1>that's the news. Let me know what you think. Leave
