Speaker 1: Hey, guys, Tony here. As you can see, I'm not
Speaker 1: in my studio. I'm actually traveling. I'm in Los Angeles, California.
Speaker 1: I'll actually be filming with Discovery to talk about James
Speaker 1: Howells and his search to recover his hard drive with
Speaker 1: seventy five hundred bitcoin on it. It's somewhere in a
Speaker 1: landfill and he's trying to get that. So I'll give
Speaker 1: you guys more details as I complete my filming. But guys,
Speaker 1: I had to make this video and mini podcast because
Speaker 1: we got huge news today from MasterCard. Folks. I am
Speaker 1: blown away by the amount of adoption we are seeing.
Speaker 1: We have crossed the chasm when it comes to is
Speaker 1: this acid class a fad, a scam, a Ponzi scheme?
Speaker 1: And there's still people who believe that, And this is
Speaker 1: why it's important for us to spread the information and
Speaker 1: the facts. So today MasterCard announce their end to end
Speaker 1: capabilities to support stable coins, ensuring payments can be made
Speaker 1: or received using them anytime, anywhere. Alongside proven leaders across
Speaker 1: Web three, finance and fintech, we're empowering consumers and businesses
Speaker 1: to use stable coins as easy as money in their
Speaker 1: bank accounts. Folks, this is one of the largest credit
Speaker 1: card companies. We are seeing bank stock exchanges, credit card companies,
Speaker 1: and the major financial institutions globally adopting crypto in one
Speaker 1: way to the other. They're building on different blockchains, they're
Speaker 1: integrating stable coins, they're tokenizing and doing much more. And
Speaker 1: let me share some of the other lingo they put
Speaker 1: out here. Here's one of the title slides they tweeted
Speaker 1: out powering faster, easier global payments, MasterCard, crypto credential lets,
Speaker 1: crypto exchange users send and receive digital assets with easy
Speaker 1: trusted user names. So they're trying to create the ability
Speaker 1: to move assets more easier, kind of like how you
Speaker 1: send information via email or you tell someone here's my
Speaker 1: social profile. They're trying to set it up that way
Speaker 1: where you just send the information or you send the
Speaker 1: funds to the respective address, but to back end it's
Speaker 1: all handled accordingly, where there's interoperability and the ability to
Speaker 1: segregate the different funds and the different information, whether it
Speaker 1: be stable coins, digital assets, tokenize assets, or whatever it
Speaker 1: may be. This is incredible. They also said MasterCards multi
Speaker 1: token network, let's banks use blockchain financial products for faster settlement,
Speaker 1: reducing time zone friction, and greater transparency. Guys, if you
Speaker 1: are still on the fence about crypto and this acid class,
Speaker 1: look at what is happening here. How can you see this?
Speaker 1: And this is just one example, of course, and still
Speaker 1: be bearish and still think this is a scam and
Speaker 1: a ponzi and all that. But I guess this is
Speaker 1: a nature of markets, right. Early adopters are going to
Speaker 1: benefit those who take the time to educate themselves research
Speaker 1: versus taking secondhand information from sensationalized headlines on mainstream news.
Speaker 1: This is why you have to sit down and educate
Speaker 1: yourself about this asset class. It's incredible what's happening, folks.
Speaker 1: This is a major power move by one of the
Speaker 1: largest credit card companies in the world. And as you
Speaker 1: can imagine, American Express and Visa are not going to
Speaker 1: sit by idly and watch this happening, right, So we're
Speaker 1: going to see game theory and all types of competition
Speaker 1: heat up here. And we also got news that Nexso,
Speaker 1: the crypto lending platform, they're returning to the United States
Speaker 1: after exiting in twenty twenty two, so we can finally
Speaker 1: get some more lending options and staking and much more.
Speaker 1: This is a very good sign. Here's what the article said.
Speaker 1: Crypto lender Nexso will return to the United States after
Speaker 1: a two year hiatus caused by regulatory challenges. Co founder
Speaker 1: Anthony Trenchev attributed the move to a more favorable environment
Speaker 1: for innovation under the Trump administration. Nexso said it now
Speaker 1: manages eleven billion dollars in assets and will offer its
Speaker 1: full range of services to US clients, including high yields, savings,
Speaker 1: and credit lines. So, folks, I think we're going to
Speaker 1: start to see staking enable across the board, not only
Speaker 1: from your crypto exchanges, but I think banks and certain
Speaker 1: financial institutions want to get involved here because staking allows
Speaker 1: you to earn higher yield and interest than you do
Speaker 1: in your current bank account. Right, we've all seen how
Speaker 1: these large banks can offer the same type of interest anymore. Likewise,
Speaker 1: stable coin interest is higher too, So all signs point
Speaker 1: to this asset class being a huge driver of passive
Speaker 1: income and much more. Now. There's also big news around
Speaker 1: Flare and tether so usdto, which is the unified liquidity
Speaker 1: protocol for USDT, the world's largest stable coin. They are
Speaker 1: now officially on flair. Many of you. Though I hold
Speaker 1: a Flare token, I'm bullish on this token. I currently
Speaker 1: delegate to earn rewards, and Hugo Fillion tweeted out big
Speaker 1: green moves fast, globally ubiquitous, and massively liquid. Usdto is
Speaker 1: a core plank of Flair's defive strat and upcoming XRP
Speaker 1: five program. So getting this type of adoption with USDT
Speaker 1: is very big for Flair. It's going to open up
Speaker 1: a lot of utility, a lot of different use cases,
Speaker 1: and it's going to help XRP as well for XRP
Speaker 1: DeFi capabilities on the Flare blockchain. So huge news here, guys,
Speaker 1: Exciting times. Now. We also got news that Blackrock bought
Speaker 1: ten thousand, two hundred and twenty bitcoin today. That's a
Speaker 1: huge one day inflow. You look at the chart and
Speaker 1: it shows a big spike, and this is very similar
Speaker 1: to the spike that I've been sharing with you guys,
Speaker 1: what we've seen with on chain data from sentiment that
Speaker 1: bitcoin whales with wallets of ten or more bitcoin. It's spiking, guys,
Speaker 1: and bitcoin is looking really good on the charts, even
Speaker 1: though we're seeing a little bit of a pullback, which
Speaker 1: is healthy As I mentioned in yesterday's podcast, nothing goes
Speaker 1: up in a straight line. It's going to build support
Speaker 1: levels is going to move. But I think we kind
Speaker 1: of have the confirmation here that the bottom is in
Speaker 1: and even if we retest certain price points, so I
Speaker 1: don't think we're going back to seventy six thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: So this is looking very good. Bitcoin is comfortably above
Speaker 1: the two hundred day moving average. Guys, I like what
Speaker 1: I'm seeing here. Obviously, we need to let the market
Speaker 1: show us and give us more confirmation. Right. We don't
Speaker 1: want to get two bullish here. We want to be
Speaker 1: balanced because there are always bear scenarios, but I think
Speaker 1: the higher probability is the bullish scenario playing out here. So, guys,
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I see the market sentiment shifting. I see
Speaker 1: global liquidity is rising. The dxy dollar currency INEX is crashing,
Speaker 1: Bitcoin is showing strength, some all coins are waking up
Speaker 1: as well, and we also got a lot of stable
Speaker 1: coin liquidity is being minted. So over the past week,
Speaker 1: I've shared with you guys that about three billion dollars
Speaker 1: of USDT was minted. We'll make that four because today
Speaker 1: another billion was minted. You know, I've been sharing this
Speaker 1: data with you guys for a year's now and we've
Speaker 1: seen eventually this liquidity hits the market and case in point,
Speaker 1: you know with bitcoins move, so exciting time times ahead.
Speaker 1: As always have a cash I'll plan guys and know
Speaker 1: what you're doing. So that's the news. Folks, be sure
