00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Alex here, it's July twenty fifth, twenty twenty six.

2
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:06.759
<v Speaker 1>By the end of this chat, you'll get a clear

3
00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:10.160
<v Speaker 1>picture of why big institutional money is sitting on its

4
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:13.560
<v Speaker 1>hands while retail traders are diving into real world assets.

5
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:16.640
<v Speaker 1>If you've been busy this week, no worries. I'll get

6
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.800
<v Speaker 1>you straight to the point. But first a quick word

7
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:25.239
<v Speaker 1>from our sponsor. Okay, So here's what's happening. Robin Hood

8
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.879
<v Speaker 1>Chain's real world assets jumped fivefold this week as token

9
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:32.359
<v Speaker 1>ised stocks finally went live. That's a massive surge and

10
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:36.039
<v Speaker 1>actual adoption, not just hype. Even in this bear market,

11
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:40.759
<v Speaker 1>people are still experimenting and building markets were pretty quiet today.

12
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Bitcoin held steady around sixty four thousand dollars as the

13
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:48.200
<v Speaker 1>bear market just keeps grinding along. Etherium and Salona both

14
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 1>dipped less than two percent. The total market cab stayed

15
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>right around two point three trillion dollars, stable coin supply

16
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:57.960
<v Speaker 1>crept up to about three hundred and ten billion, and

17
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.640
<v Speaker 1>the Fear and Greed Index is sitting at twy twenty seven.

18
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>So the crowd is cautious but definitely not panicking. Zero

19
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:09.760
<v Speaker 1>knowledge is the strongest narrative today down only a little

20
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:13.480
<v Speaker 1>over seven days. Humanity is the top coin in that sector,

21
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:16.599
<v Speaker 1>up a few percent over seven days. That is a

22
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:21.159
<v Speaker 1>narrow rotation, not a market wide move. We asked if

23
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin would trade between sixty two and sixty four thousand

24
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>dollars on July sixteenth. The market priced a seventy seven

25
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.439
<v Speaker 1>percent chance of yes. The read would have flipped if

26
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.400
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin had held that range into the date, but it

27
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 1>broke lower and are no call on If you want

28
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:41.079
<v Speaker 1>alerts like this in real time instead of hearing about

29
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>them after the fact, here's the path. This is the

30
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.959
<v Speaker 1>kind of call. Token Metrics signal sends every week seven

31
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:53.480
<v Speaker 1>days free at tokenmetrics dot com. Ethereum ETFs closed the

32
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 1>week in the red, ending a five day inflow streak.

33
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Institutional demand for Ethereum just hit a wall. Think of

34
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>bit like a gym membership canceled after the free trial.

35
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>There's interest, but no real commitment yet. In this bear market,

36
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.360
<v Speaker 1>flows are basically the only thing keeping alt sentiment alive,

37
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>and this gap really shows institutions playing it safe while

38
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.960
<v Speaker 1>retail experiments with real world assets on robin Hood chain.

39
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>If Ethereum etfc outflows again next week, while bitcoin holds

40
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:26.680
<v Speaker 1>risk appetite is definitely shrinking, but if inflows resume, the

41
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 1>streak was just a quick pause. The White House just

42
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.599
<v Speaker 1>told Senate Democrats to accept a negotiated win on Trump

43
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:38.800
<v Speaker 1>era crypto limits. Regulatory clarity is getting closer, but it's

44
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:43.199
<v Speaker 1>a back and forth victory. Washington basically admitted the battle

45
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 1>over crypto oversite is partly settled. That removes one major

46
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:51.280
<v Speaker 1>overhang for institutions, even if the fine print stays messy

47
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 1>while alt projects keep building real world utility. The takeaway

48
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:59.719
<v Speaker 1>is pretty straightforward. If the Senate formalizes the limits before

49
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 1>our recess, exchanges finally get some legal footing. If it stalls,

50
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>the ambiguity tax stays. Sam Altman backed World Network raised

51
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.159
<v Speaker 1>fifty three million dollars to fight AI deep fakes. Proof

52
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:17.280
<v Speaker 1>of Humanity is quickly becoming a funding darlik as aislot

53
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 1>floods the web. Cryptoidentity rails are getting actual utility. This

54
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.719
<v Speaker 1>is the complete opposite of a meme coin. It's an

55
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:28.960
<v Speaker 1>actual problem with actual users. It shows exactly where retail

56
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:33.000
<v Speaker 1>money is flowing while institutions wait for clearer macro signals.

57
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:37.639
<v Speaker 1>If worldships verified human accounts at scale this quarter, identity

58
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:41.319
<v Speaker 1>tokens will gain a serious narrative. If not, it's just

59
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 1>another sci fi raise strategy. The company, led by Michael Sailor,

60
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 1>overhauled how it reports its Bitcoin holdings as the bear

61
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:53.680
<v Speaker 1>market persists. When the biggest corporate Bitcoin holder changes its scoreboard,

62
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.120
<v Speaker 1>you should read it as survival mode. They're adjusting metrics

63
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:01.879
<v Speaker 1>because the game just got Hardertics matter in a prolonged downturn,

64
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>reflecting broader institutional caution as capital rotates toward unproven out narratives.

65
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>If strategy keeps buying despite the metric changes, conviction is real.

66
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>If they pause, the bare thesis definitely strengthens. Dango's perpetual

67
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:22.040
<v Speaker 1>futures exchange shut down just four months after launch another

68
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:26.240
<v Speaker 1>defied derivative's graveyard. Building a Purp's venue is easy, but

69
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:30.839
<v Speaker 1>keeping liquidity is brutally hard. Traders fled to established desks,

70
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.720
<v Speaker 1>leaving the new platform with empty order books. This highlights

71
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:39.879
<v Speaker 1>the brutal reality of alt experimentation. Innovation outpaces liquidity in

72
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:44.040
<v Speaker 1>a cautious market, contrasting sharply with steady real world asset

73
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.639
<v Speaker 1>adoption on chains like Robinhood. If other small purp DEXes

74
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:52.560
<v Speaker 1>show the same exit consolidation will accelerate if one survives.

75
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:55.439
<v Speaker 1>The model isn't dead all right. Before we get into

76
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the risks, quick word from our sponsor. Okay, we're beec

77
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.279
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about what to watch for. Sentiment is stuck

78
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:07.160
<v Speaker 1>in fear right now. The Fear and Greed index sits

79
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:10.879
<v Speaker 1>at twenty seven, so crowds are cautious but not capitulating,

80
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.560
<v Speaker 1>which means any bounces will likely lack conviction. At the

81
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:19.279
<v Speaker 1>same time, liquidity is migrating. Defied total value Locked dipped

82
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 1>less than one percent in a day, while Layer zero

83
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:26.079
<v Speaker 1>chains dropped twenty nine percent this week. Capital is rotating,

84
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.759
<v Speaker 1>not growing. Put it all together and you get a

85
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 1>synthesis where buyers are hesitant because sentiment is weak and

86
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 1>liquidity rotates out of riskier chains. That changes if stable

87
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>coin supply keeps rising and Bitcoin holds above sixty four

88
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:47.240
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars for three days the FED rate pass signal

89
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:51.600
<v Speaker 1>arrives between July twenty sixth and thirtieth. Polymarket gives sixty

90
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.240
<v Speaker 1>percent odds of a pause pause cut, and a dubvish

91
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.839
<v Speaker 1>signal could ease crypto liquidity. Then there's the ethereum ETF

92
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:03.279
<v Speaker 1>flows this week ahead after the streak ended, Renewed inflows

93
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:08.319
<v Speaker 1>would signal an institutional return, while further outflows confirm the bear. Finally,

94
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.959
<v Speaker 1>keep an eye on the Clarity Act passage watch. By Friday,

95
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Galaxy cut odds to thirty percent and a mist vote

96
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:19.240
<v Speaker 1>leaves us rules in limbo. The main risk is bear

97
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:22.600
<v Speaker 1>market caution with weak sentiment, and the top thing to

98
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:26.680
<v Speaker 1>watch is whether Robinhood Chain real world asset growth continues

99
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:32.120
<v Speaker 1>alongside rising stable coin supply and Clarity Act progress. For
