5
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Blow If you're listening on a podcast platform such as

6
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Spotify or Apple, please leave a five star rating and review. Okay, folks,

7
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:27.719
<v Speaker 1>let's quickly start off with the price of bitcoin and

8
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>the charts, because we're seeing some strength here, despite you know,

9
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:34.520
<v Speaker 1>the market downturn that we saw yesterday and even the

10
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>stock market with its futures in the red, both are

11
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:41.920
<v Speaker 1>actually up today, and specifically for Bitcoin, it is still

12
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>trying to break out of that consolidation zone or channel

13
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>here and it's attempting to break out again. So still

14
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 1>seeing some positive signs. There's no guarantees here though, right

15
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:57.079
<v Speaker 1>as always, we're looking at probabilities, but the ideal scenario

16
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.759
<v Speaker 1>is a relief rally up to about eighty to eighty

17
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.439
<v Speaker 1>five came, maybe it overshoots and we hit the nineties

18
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.040
<v Speaker 1>and then all coins outperform Bitcoin, But again no guarantees here.

19
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:12.120
<v Speaker 1>We could still see Bitcoin rollover to low's before we

20
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:14.359
<v Speaker 1>have any type of major relief rally. So this is

21
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:18.079
<v Speaker 1>something to just keep in mind. The positive science is

22
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>the mac D on the daily chart shows the bulls

23
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>are still in control. The R side continues to move

24
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:26.680
<v Speaker 1>away from the over soul zone and it has room

25
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>to run, so that's very good. On the weekly chart,

26
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:33.439
<v Speaker 1>the RSI is still in the over soul zone, but

27
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 1>it's starting to move away. And then the inverse correlation

28
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 1>to all of this is the USDT dominance. So the

29
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:43.680
<v Speaker 1>stable coin liquidity that is a continuing to show weakness

30
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:45.719
<v Speaker 1>and looks like it's going to break down. So if

31
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>that's breaking down, it means staplecoid liquidity is turned to

32
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>enter the market. So again the inverse correlation. So this

33
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>is why we want to look at all these different things,

34
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 1>and we have, you know, the relief rally. Now again

35
00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:58.519
<v Speaker 1>this is not a move to new all time highs.

36
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>So please don't get me wrong. We are in a

37
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.439
<v Speaker 1>bear market. It is because we've had such oversold conditions,

38
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:08.520
<v Speaker 1>extreme oversold conditions levels that have signaled the bear market

39
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.879
<v Speaker 1>bottom in the previous bit markets like the FTX crash

40
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:15.639
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty two, three thousand dollars in December twenty

41
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.520
<v Speaker 1>eighteen things along those lines. Plus you have extreme fear.

42
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.479
<v Speaker 1>People have given up. People are putting out negative things

43
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:26.039
<v Speaker 1>about bitcoin. There are articles saying Bitcoin's pointless and crypto's

44
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>pointless and nothing can be saved anymore. Right so they're

45
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:33.080
<v Speaker 1>writing the death sentence of crypto yet again. But that's

46
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.400
<v Speaker 1>for the masses. But you and I, who are financially educated,

47
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.560
<v Speaker 1>we're looking at the charts, the fundamentals, the on chain metrics,

48
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 1>the macro and much more so. Fingers crossed that we

49
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.599
<v Speaker 1>get this relief valley, you'll be really nice and I look,

50
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be looking to take some profits and of

51
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.879
<v Speaker 1>course once we roll over to test lows again or

52
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:56.360
<v Speaker 1>go further down maybe into the fifty case for bitcoin,

53
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.759
<v Speaker 1>look to accumulate. So that's my strategy. Will continue to

54
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.520
<v Speaker 1>update you guys as things progress. We are seeing some buying.

55
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.520
<v Speaker 1>So Michael Sailor's strategy has bought one point three billion

56
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:12.199
<v Speaker 1>dollars in bitcoin and their holdings are now over seven

57
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:16.599
<v Speaker 1>hundred and thirty eight thousand bitcoin. This is insane and

58
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>obviously I hope this works out for Michael Salel because

59
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>if it doesn't and there's a collapse, it will be

60
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:26.879
<v Speaker 1>pretty catastrophic for the market. I'm still wary of what

61
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>he's doing with the amount of debt he's raising, you know.

62
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't like the amount of leverage, and it just

63
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.280
<v Speaker 1>sets up a house of cards that could be easily

64
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:38.960
<v Speaker 1>taken down because he's he's going to have a target

65
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:40.919
<v Speaker 1>on his back, and I think he already has a

66
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.000
<v Speaker 1>target on his back. A lot of people are trying

67
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:45.919
<v Speaker 1>to short the hell out of micro Strategy and take

68
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 1>down Sailor right those who are anti crypto, anti bitcoin.

69
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 1>I just want to see him fail what he's doing here,

70
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>So let's hope nothing bad happens here. Crypto funds are

71
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:59.759
<v Speaker 1>also seeing continued inflows. So crypto funds gained six hundred

72
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 1>and nightnineteen million dollars as markets hold up despite oil

73
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>and war fears. So bitcoin ETPs turn green year to

74
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>date with five hundred and twenty one million dollar inflows

75
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:16.279
<v Speaker 1>last week as total crypto assets rebounded despy geopolitical tensions

76
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:19.199
<v Speaker 1>linked to Iran. So these are all good signs, guys,

77
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.839
<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna have to see how it all plays out. Now.

78
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:25.639
<v Speaker 1>Something that's very interesting for bitcoin. The total bitcoin mind

79
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.879
<v Speaker 1>has crossed twenty million, so there's only one million btc

80
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>left b mine. But this is where it gets fascinating,

81
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>is that it will take another one hundred and fourteen

82
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.439
<v Speaker 1>years to mine because that's how the algorithm is set up.

83
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:43.519
<v Speaker 1>And the difficulty rate increases, it becomes much harder, much

84
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.399
<v Speaker 1>more difficult to mind bitcoin. So we know that there's

85
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>not fully twenty million out there. There's a lot of

86
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.240
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin that has been lost, right and people who have

87
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.079
<v Speaker 1>lost the private keys through y hard drives, all these things,

88
00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.800
<v Speaker 1>so it is not truly twenty million that has been mined,

89
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 1>and is going to be less than twenty one million

90
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:05.800
<v Speaker 1>once it's all said and done, But pretty incredible one

91
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:10.199
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fourteen years to mine the next one million.

92
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:13.120
<v Speaker 1>That's certainly going to be beyond the lifespan of many

93
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.759
<v Speaker 1>of us who are here, but we want to take

94
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 1>advantage of the technology and acid class. But pretty incredible

95
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:21.319
<v Speaker 1>when you think about it. Now, folks, A great place

96
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:24.879
<v Speaker 1>where you can buy bitcoin, all coins and even gold

97
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 1>and silver is on I Trust Capital and you can

98
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:31.920
<v Speaker 1>do it via an iray where you get huge tax benefits.

99
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:33.959
<v Speaker 1>So if you have a long term view on these

100
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.560
<v Speaker 1>acid classes, you can invest via the irray and get

101
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.639
<v Speaker 1>those taxes and exemptions because many of you know there's

102
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.920
<v Speaker 1>capital gains taxes when you sell your crypto. Well, you

103
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.759
<v Speaker 1>can buy, sell and trade a golden silver and crypto

104
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:48.920
<v Speaker 1>and once again in the IRA, you can roll over

105
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:51.399
<v Speaker 1>your existing four to one K and IRA two I

106
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:55.079
<v Speaker 1>Trust Capitals version and you can buy and sell twenty

107
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.079
<v Speaker 1>four to seven. It's low cost, no monthy fees. They

108
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:01.319
<v Speaker 1>also offer a great custody solution. I believe this is

109
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.959
<v Speaker 1>the second safest way to custody your assets behind self

110
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 1>custody where you control the private keys. They are using

111
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:12.319
<v Speaker 1>institutional grade custody such as coinbased Prime, Fidelity, and much more.

112
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 1>We know black Rock utilizes coinbased prime and their custody

113
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:18.839
<v Speaker 1>platform is a closed loop system, so even if someone

114
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:21.279
<v Speaker 1>hacks into your account, they can't withdraw any type of

115
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.160
<v Speaker 1>funds and you can buy and sell and do a

116
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of things twenty four to seven. It's low fees,

117
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.759
<v Speaker 1>and folks, the gold and silver that you can invest

118
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:31.240
<v Speaker 1>in on this platform is fully redeemable. It is not

119
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.040
<v Speaker 1>paper gold or silver like many platforms. So if you

120
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.759
<v Speaker 1>actually want to redeem the gold bars so there's silver bars,

121
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 1>you can do that. So this platform is legit. I

122
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:42.839
<v Speaker 1>have an account with them, and folks, if you sign

123
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.519
<v Speaker 1>up with my link, you can get one hundred dollars

124
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.000
<v Speaker 1>funding bonus. So if you'd like to learn more about

125
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I Trustcapital, check out the link in the description. Now, folks,

126
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:53.639
<v Speaker 1>the big news of the day is coming from the Nasdaq,

127
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>So the Nasdaq Exchange partners would crack in exchange for

128
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:02.360
<v Speaker 1>issuer centric tokenized equities. We're seeing stock exchanges, banks, and

129
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:06.199
<v Speaker 1>the biggest financial institutions in the world moving towards tokenization.

130
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:10.000
<v Speaker 1>So it's amazing to see these names in the headlines.

131
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:13.079
<v Speaker 1>Just sometimes I have to pinch myself because I've been

132
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:16.680
<v Speaker 1>here since twenty sixteen. I couldn't even imagine the type

133
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>of adoption we're seeing. Everyone is on board and they're

134
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>looking to build on blockchain rails. So NASDAK, the world's

135
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:27.600
<v Speaker 1>second largest stock exchange by market capitalization, is expanding its

136
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:31.279
<v Speaker 1>push into tokenized equities through a partnership with crypto exchange

137
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:35.839
<v Speaker 1>Kraken and its infrastructure affiliate backed. The exchange said Monday

138
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:38.959
<v Speaker 1>it plans to support equity tokenization in a way that

139
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:43.399
<v Speaker 1>preserves issuer control as it looks to connect traditional market

140
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:48.160
<v Speaker 1>infrastructure with blockchain based networks. NASDAK has partnered with Payward,

141
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:53.199
<v Speaker 1>Kraken's parent company and its subsidiary backed the issuer behind

142
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:57.720
<v Speaker 1>x stocks, to develop an equities transformation gateway. Here's a quote.

143
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.319
<v Speaker 1>Tokenization has the potential to unlock the benefits of an

144
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>always on financial system, enhancing how investors access markets, how

145
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.040
<v Speaker 1>issuers engage with shareholders. And that's that. President tel Cohen said.

146
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>The plan builds on nasdaq's tokenization proposal file with the

147
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:19.639
<v Speaker 1>US SEC regulators in September twenty twenty five, as well

148
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:25.279
<v Speaker 1>as Kraken's acquisition of xtoc's issuer backed in December. This

149
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.600
<v Speaker 1>is huge, guys. Again, we've been talking about it for years.

150
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:32.240
<v Speaker 1>The direction is the token economy. No more opening or

151
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:35.679
<v Speaker 1>closing bill twenty four to seven three sixty five trading,

152
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.360
<v Speaker 1>no holidays and weekends and all that, and these assets

153
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:42.799
<v Speaker 1>are opened up to global markets. It's not possible right

154
00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:45.399
<v Speaker 1>now for everyone to access to New York Soccer Change Order,

155
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.159
<v Speaker 1>NASA and the assets they have listed, but when they

156
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:51.159
<v Speaker 1>are on tokenized formats, it's going to be a lot easier.

157
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.720
<v Speaker 1>So more liquidity coming in, there's going to be more fractionalization.

158
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.080
<v Speaker 1>You can put the assets to work in DeFi. So

159
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:02.360
<v Speaker 1>a slew of benefits here, So incredible news. I mean,

160
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:05.279
<v Speaker 1>don't miss how big this is, folks. The biggest of

161
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.799
<v Speaker 1>the biggest here getting involved. This is a testament to

162
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the power of the blockchain. And they're not only looking

163
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.559
<v Speaker 1>to do this in the US, They're looking to do

164
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:17.799
<v Speaker 1>this overseas. Look at this. NASDAK links EU markets to

165
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:22.279
<v Speaker 1>bor Studtguard's tokenized settlement venue. So the NASDAQ said it

166
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:28.000
<v Speaker 1>is working with bor stutguards groups tokenized settlement platform Citurion

167
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:32.000
<v Speaker 1>to connect its European training venues to infrastructure designed to

168
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:37.639
<v Speaker 1>settle tokenized securities using distributed ledger technology. According to Monday's announcement,

169
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.639
<v Speaker 1>the collaboration will initially focus on structured products and aims

170
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:47.080
<v Speaker 1>to support faster settlement of tokenized assets across European capital markets.

171
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.279
<v Speaker 1>So again, this is not just a US thing. This

172
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.039
<v Speaker 1>is a global asset class, a global technology. And as

173
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:57.879
<v Speaker 1>I've been beating the drum on for years, the future

174
00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:01.279
<v Speaker 1>capital markets, economies and gover are all going to run

175
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:04.200
<v Speaker 1>in blockchain rails. And for the first time in history,

176
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:07.879
<v Speaker 1>you can partake in the network and hold in respective

177
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:10.879
<v Speaker 1>token of the blockchains that are going to serve as

178
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:14.919
<v Speaker 1>the rails. Now here's some very big news. This is

179
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:18.639
<v Speaker 1>huge adoption news. So Aon tests stable coin payments for

180
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.919
<v Speaker 1>insurance premiums with Paxos and Coinbase. So you may say,

181
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:26.080
<v Speaker 1>who is Aon and I personally did not know of

182
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:29.480
<v Speaker 1>them before, but they are one of the world's largest

183
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:33.399
<v Speaker 1>insurance brokers and they're testing the use of stable coins

184
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.639
<v Speaker 1>to pay insurance payments or premiums, highlighting the growing role

185
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:42.039
<v Speaker 1>of digital dollars in traditional financial infrastructure following the passage

186
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:45.600
<v Speaker 1>of the Genius Bill last year. In a Monday announcement,

187
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.960
<v Speaker 1>UK based Aon said it completed a pilot that settled

188
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:54.000
<v Speaker 1>insurance premiums for clients including Coinbase and Paxos, using USDC

189
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:58.879
<v Speaker 1>on Ethereum and PayPal USD on Salana. So notice they're

190
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.240
<v Speaker 1>not just using one chain or one stable coin. You're

191
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.399
<v Speaker 1>can to use multiple because it's going to be a

192
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.519
<v Speaker 1>multi chain world. There's going to be many different stable

193
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:11.600
<v Speaker 1>coins and different tokenized assets. So this is amazing adoption.

194
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:15.120
<v Speaker 1>One of the largest insurance brokers right has nothing to

195
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:18.799
<v Speaker 1>do with crypto, but they're integrating crypto. So don't miss

196
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.200
<v Speaker 1>how big this is so. Tim Fletcher, CEO of AON

197
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Financial Services division, said the pilot reflects the company's effort

198
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.639
<v Speaker 1>to explore stable coins as a payment rail, predicting the

199
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:34.960
<v Speaker 1>tokenized assets will become more widely used in financial transactions.

200
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:38.679
<v Speaker 1>Aon said in August that its analysis showed one hundred

201
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:42.919
<v Speaker 1>and twenty reissuers wrote nearly two trillion dollars of gross

202
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:45.879
<v Speaker 1>written premium in twenty twenty four, So a lot of

203
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.639
<v Speaker 1>that volume and transaction, all these things are going to

204
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:51.720
<v Speaker 1>come to blockchain and the use of stable coins will

205
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:55.879
<v Speaker 1>be a part of that. So incredible adoption news here, guys.

206
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:59.080
<v Speaker 1>These are things you want to send to the cryptoskeptics

207
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.159
<v Speaker 1>and people who they don't understand. They just read certain

208
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:06.159
<v Speaker 1>foot headlines. Oh this is a scam or this's a ponzi. Right,

209
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:09.159
<v Speaker 1>they don't go beyond that. They don't educate themselves. But

210
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:12.600
<v Speaker 1>they need to understand how the technology is being applied,

211
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:15.639
<v Speaker 1>what are the benefits, and who's building with it, right,

212
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:19.039
<v Speaker 1>and it's probably companies that they currently use are familiar with,

213
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:22.039
<v Speaker 1>but they don't know. They don't go the extra step

214
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>to take the time to research and educate themselves. So

215
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:27.440
<v Speaker 1>you want to send us these type of news items,

216
00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:30.360
<v Speaker 1>the NASDAC news, the AON news right to those folks,

217
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:32.399
<v Speaker 1>I highly recommend you do that. And on the topic

218
00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:35.279
<v Speaker 1>of adoption, look at this, banks will run RWA's on

219
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:39.799
<v Speaker 1>two blockchain rails, says Redstone, co founder. So again, like

220
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I was saying, multichain world right. So institutional adoption of

221
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:47.320
<v Speaker 1>real world assets is splitting between public and permission networks,

222
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:51.639
<v Speaker 1>exposing a divide between the liquidity advantages of blockchains like

223
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:55.919
<v Speaker 1>a theorem and privacy demands driving systems such as Canton network.

224
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:59.679
<v Speaker 1>The divergence is becoming more pronounced as tokenized ascids gain

225
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:05.200
<v Speaker 1>track among major asset managers. Marsin Casimiera Krak If I'm

226
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:08.759
<v Speaker 1>saying that right, co founder of blockchain oracle provider Redstone

227
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:12.399
<v Speaker 1>said product development is likely to occur on public blockchains,

228
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:17.000
<v Speaker 1>while permission systems are better suited for institutional processes that

229
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:21.200
<v Speaker 1>require confidentiality. Here's a quote that he gave. He said,

230
00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:24.519
<v Speaker 1>there are some operations between institutions as simply have to

231
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:27.879
<v Speaker 1>stay private. And this is the value proposition that Canton

232
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.360
<v Speaker 1>offers very effectively. Now, a few things to unpack here.

233
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:34.279
<v Speaker 1>He's absolutely right. I've talked a lot about it that

234
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:38.679
<v Speaker 1>many banks and institutions will have their own internal private

235
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:42.200
<v Speaker 1>permission chains, but they will bridge to public chains because

236
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:44.799
<v Speaker 1>that's where the liquidity in the settlement will happen. But

237
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:47.639
<v Speaker 1>privacy is very important to many of these institutions. They

238
00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.759
<v Speaker 1>can't have certain data out there now Canton, which I'm

239
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:52.519
<v Speaker 1>a holder of, the token I'm a holder of, and

240
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:54.559
<v Speaker 1>I've told you guys watch this one from a long

241
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.279
<v Speaker 1>time ago. Right. They are backed by many big Wall

242
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Street firms like Goldman, Sachs and cit and they're a

243
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.080
<v Speaker 1>public chain that has privacy built in, so that's what's

244
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:08.519
<v Speaker 1>unique about them, and they're getting a lot of institutional adoptions.

245
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:10.759
<v Speaker 1>So it's why I'm bullish on it and I hold

246
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:13.639
<v Speaker 1>it into my portfolio, and I think privacy is going

247
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:15.639
<v Speaker 1>to be a huge narrative in the next bull market

248
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:19.960
<v Speaker 1>as more institutions come on board. Now, security is the

249
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:22.600
<v Speaker 1>most important thing, but privacy is the next right because

250
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:24.960
<v Speaker 1>they're not going to put certain information out there on

251
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.759
<v Speaker 1>public chains where it can be exposed. So I think

252
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:29.840
<v Speaker 1>this is where you're going to see a lot of

253
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:34.559
<v Speaker 1>public chains are going to look to improve their privacy features,

254
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:37.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, whether it be zero knowledge proof zke or

255
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:41.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, some sort of side chain that they offer

256
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:44.559
<v Speaker 1>that has privacy. So these are the developments that are

257
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:46.639
<v Speaker 1>going to happen. But I think this is spot on.

258
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:50.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, institutions are definitely going to want privacy, but

259
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:54.720
<v Speaker 1>are obviously going to leverage public chains. Okay, moving ahead,

260
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the EUS regulated blockchain securities market ads first bank particip

261
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:06.559
<v Speaker 1>so the development and innovation continues around the globe. So Amina,

262
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:10.360
<v Speaker 1>a Swiss regulated crypto bank, has joined a blockchain based

263
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:14.600
<v Speaker 1>settlement platform for token is securities operating under the European

264
00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Union's DLT pilot regime, marking another step toward integrating digital

265
00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:24.519
<v Speaker 1>asset infrastructure with traditional capital markets. The Zug, Switzerland based

266
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:29.080
<v Speaker 1>company announced Monday that it has become a listing sponsor

267
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:33.080
<v Speaker 1>on the EU regulated platform twenty one x, making Amina

268
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:37.519
<v Speaker 1>the venue's first fully regulated bank participant. Amina said the

269
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:40.559
<v Speaker 1>move will allow it to support companies issuing token is

270
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:45.000
<v Speaker 1>securities on twenty one x through its partnership with tokenne if.

271
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying that right, a Luxemberg based company that provides

272
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:54.240
<v Speaker 1>technology for creating and managing Tokeni's financial assets. Guys. The innovation,

273
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:57.799
<v Speaker 1>the development that's happening, and it's not just the private

274
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:00.320
<v Speaker 1>sector but also the public. You've got the government and

275
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.480
<v Speaker 1>the private sector working together. So this is incredible stuff.

276
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Now look at this news. Stable cooin payment startup casts

277
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:10.960
<v Speaker 1>raises eighty million dollars at a six hundred million dollar valuation.

278
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:15.440
<v Speaker 1>So not only are you seeing innovation, you're seeing expansion, mergers, acquisitions,

279
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.360
<v Speaker 1>and huge investments as everybody is looking to take their

280
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.000
<v Speaker 1>bets to build the infrastructure for what's to come. Right,

281
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.679
<v Speaker 1>So stablecoin Payments CASS has raised eighty million dollars in

282
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:28.080
<v Speaker 1>a funding round that values the company at six hundred

283
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:31.440
<v Speaker 1>million dollars, according to a Bloomberg report on Monday, citing

284
00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:34.360
<v Speaker 1>people familiar with the matter, The round was led by

285
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:38.919
<v Speaker 1>QED Investors and left Lane Capital, and CASS expects an

286
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:41.960
<v Speaker 1>annual revenue run rate of one hundred million dollars in

287
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:45.399
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty six. According to Bloomberg. The company reported plans

288
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.960
<v Speaker 1>to use the funding to expand across North America, Latin America,

289
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:52.600
<v Speaker 1>and Middle East, while also adding staff, securing licenses, and

290
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.320
<v Speaker 1>developing new products. The raise is the latest sign that

291
00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:00.960
<v Speaker 1>investor appetite for stable coin focused payment firms remain strong,

292
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:03.960
<v Speaker 1>even as the broader crypto markets have pulled back in

293
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:09.079
<v Speaker 1>the recent months. So I think everybody recognizes that stable

294
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:11.599
<v Speaker 1>coins are here to stay. And obviously, with the Genius

295
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Act passed in the United States, the race is on.

296
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:19.160
<v Speaker 1>So you're seeing investments, development, innovations, partnerships, lots happening. It's

297
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:22.119
<v Speaker 1>pretty exciting. And I think once we have the Clarity

298
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:24.559
<v Speaker 1>Act pass, you know, as I've been saying, that's going

299
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:27.680
<v Speaker 1>to kick off the super cycle because that has the

300
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:30.839
<v Speaker 1>meat and potatoes, all the different moving parts and components

301
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.519
<v Speaker 1>for crypto, and it's going to allow the trillions that's

302
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:35.640
<v Speaker 1>sitting on the sidelines to come in and allow these

303
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:39.839
<v Speaker 1>institutions to do more building and go beyond just piloting

304
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:43.319
<v Speaker 1>and testing but into production. Right, So this is why

305
00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:46.079
<v Speaker 1>we need that Clarity Act pass. Man. We got to

306
00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:49.039
<v Speaker 1>get that done, especially this year, and get it done

307
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:51.839
<v Speaker 1>ahead of time of the next bull market, right because

308
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:53.880
<v Speaker 1>right now we're in a bear market. We're gonna bottom out,

309
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:56.000
<v Speaker 1>but then we're gonna slowly start to move our way

310
00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:57.839
<v Speaker 1>out and then we're going to be back in a

311
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:00.000
<v Speaker 1>bull cycle before you know it. But if you don't

312
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.519
<v Speaker 1>have the Clarity Act, you know, we need that, we

313
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:06.400
<v Speaker 1>need to go to the next level, and again I

314
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:11.000
<v Speaker 1>think that kicks off the super cycle of this market. So, folks,

315

<v Speaker 1>that's the news. Let me know what you're saying. Some
