00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:20.239
<v Speaker 1>If you're listening on a podcast platform such as Spotify

6
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:23.640
<v Speaker 1>or Apple, please leave a five star rating and review. Folks,

7
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:27.199
<v Speaker 1>we have some very big news and it's actually global news.

8
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>We're going to talk about Japan, UK and much more,

9
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:34.240
<v Speaker 1>even Dubai because we're seeing crypto getting adopted globally and

10
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:38.119
<v Speaker 1>I've often stated that crypto's the first truly global asset

11
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.039
<v Speaker 1>class that is trading twenty four to seven and because

12
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:44.280
<v Speaker 1>of the blockchain, anyone can access it. Right now, certain

13
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:46.880
<v Speaker 1>people around the world cannot access in New York Stock

14
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.679
<v Speaker 1>Exchange or certain stocks, but if they have a smartphone

15
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and internet connection, they can access bitcoin, etherorem XRP. The

16
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 1>barrier of entry is very low. So we're seeing on

17
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.439
<v Speaker 1>rams being set up globally for more capital to come

18
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>into this app class, and we're going to see higher

19
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>prices as a result. Here's the first news item. SBI

20
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Bank outlines plans to launch Japan's first Bitcoin and XRP

21
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>dual ETF. This is very interesting, and we know that

22
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:16.719
<v Speaker 1>SBI has been a big investor in crypto. They're a

23
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:20.319
<v Speaker 1>bank conglomerate, I think they're called SBI Group if I'm

24
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>not mistaken, and they've been investing in bitcoin mining, They've

25
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>invested in Ripple, they're big believers in XRP as well.

26
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:30.400
<v Speaker 1>And the fact that they're launching a joint ETF here

27
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>is very fascinating because these are two of the top

28
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.200
<v Speaker 1>three assets. Right You've got bitcoin, etherorem and XRP. So

29
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Japanese financial giant SBI Holdings plans to launch the country's

30
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.319
<v Speaker 1>first dual asset cryptocurrency exchange traded fund, also known as

31
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>the ETF, offering exposure to both bitcoin and XRP. In

32
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:54.400
<v Speaker 1>its earnings report Thursday, the company outlining plans for two

33
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:58.920
<v Speaker 1>crypto based ETFs. The first product proposal combines gold and

34
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>crypto asset eats bundled in a trust. Now, this other

35
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.599
<v Speaker 1>ETF is even more fascinating because you have gold, which

36
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>is a traditional asset, mixed with crypto, and I think

37
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.039
<v Speaker 1>we're going to see a lot of folks get creative

38
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>with these assets, because we've often talked about crypto is

39
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>the best performing acid class. Paul truds Jones, you know,

40
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.400
<v Speaker 1>he gave the analogy that crypto's the fastest horse in

41
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>the race among the other assets. Right it's outperforming the

42
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.039
<v Speaker 1>stock market, real estate, and precious metals. But you know,

43
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.360
<v Speaker 1>these firms may want to combine and say, hey, you

44
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.080
<v Speaker 1>can get access to all of them or two of them,

45
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>and things like that. And I think getting creative will

46
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:36.759
<v Speaker 1>help bring in different types of investors. So, according to

47
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.960
<v Speaker 1>the company, this would allocate fifty one percent into gold

48
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.879
<v Speaker 1>based ETFs and forty nine percent into crypto asset ETFs

49
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.879
<v Speaker 1>such as Bitcoin ETFs. This will be publicly offered as

50
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 1>an investment trust in Japan. The second proposal combines two

51
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:55.560
<v Speaker 1>top cryptocurrencies, bitcoin and XRP. The company plans to list

52
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.719
<v Speaker 1>this product on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the largest stock

53
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>exchange in Japan. For my og subscribers, remember when I

54
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:06.719
<v Speaker 1>was telling you crypto will be trading on these stock markets.

55
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Here it is. It's coming to fruition right before us, folks.

56
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:13.240
<v Speaker 1>And this is going to happen on the NASTAC on

57
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.479
<v Speaker 1>the New York Stock Exchange in every major stock exchange

58
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>around the world. Now there are ets already on other

59
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>stock exchanges around the world, like to the Toronto Stock Exchange,

60
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.039
<v Speaker 1>and there's others in Europe as well, because they've already

61
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:30.479
<v Speaker 1>moved further along. We got delayed because of scumbag regulator

62
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Gary Genser and Elizabeth Warren as well. But now things

63
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>are starting to ramp up here in the United States.

64
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.439
<v Speaker 1>But folks, this is very bullish. Again, more on rams

65
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.159
<v Speaker 1>being built around the globe for more capital to come

66
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.199
<v Speaker 1>into this acid class. So this is very bullish. Here's

67
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>some more bullish XRP news. XRP custody goes live for

68
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Korean institutions via b Dax bdacs amid strong interests, so

69
00:03:55.719 --> 00:04:00.159
<v Speaker 1>again you're seeing global demand for these crypto assets. South

70
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Korean crypto custodian BDAX has launched institutional custody support for

71
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:08.800
<v Speaker 1>XRP following its February partnership agreement with Ripple. The move

72
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 1>provides institutions with regulated access to one of the world's

73
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>most actively traded digital assets. The rollout, announced via bdas

74
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>x account on Tuesday, enables institutions to securely store and

75
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:25.920
<v Speaker 1>manage XRP using Ripple custody Ripple's enterprise grade custody solution.

76
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Here's a quote. We're thrilled to offer custody support for XRP,

77
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>one of the most popular digital assets in Korea, to

78
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>our institutional clients, Bdax wrote. This launch strengthens our long

79
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.199
<v Speaker 1>standing partnership with Ripple and underscores our commitment to the

80
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 1>Korean market. Now key words there institutional client, not retail.

81
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:52.959
<v Speaker 1>Retail already has access, but they're opening the doors and

82
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:57.639
<v Speaker 1>the floodgates for institutional capital to come in. Again, look

83
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.600
<v Speaker 1>at the macro picture here, because more Apple's going to

84
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.720
<v Speaker 1>come in, driving the value of these blockchains and their

85
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:07.680
<v Speaker 1>native assets higher. Obviously, it's not just the speculation part,

86
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.439
<v Speaker 1>but the building as well. It's a combination of speculation

87
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:14.199
<v Speaker 1>and building right, as some will say utility. So this

88
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.160
<v Speaker 1>is very bullish and if you're an XRP holder, you

89
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.040
<v Speaker 1>should be very happy. I know there's a lot of

90
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:21.480
<v Speaker 1>XRP haters and they're going to be very angry about this.

91
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.399
<v Speaker 1>You will probably see them write comments, nasty comments in

92
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.279
<v Speaker 1>the comments section. But look, the free market does not

93
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.439
<v Speaker 1>care about people's emotions and feelings. What it cares about

94
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.319
<v Speaker 1>it is their demand is their utility can people build

95
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 1>on this blockchain? And clearly there's demand. We're seeing it

96
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>around the globe now quickly from our sponsor folks, and

97
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:43.399
<v Speaker 1>that is Treasure. Treasure makes beautiful hardware wallets that make

98
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.240
<v Speaker 1>it easy for you to self custody your crypto assets.

99
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:48.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm a user of the product. I personally use the

100
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:52.319
<v Speaker 1>Treasure save five. Treasure they were the pioneers of the

101
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:56.040
<v Speaker 1>hardware wallet. They created this whole setup and they created

102
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.600
<v Speaker 1>the seed phrase setup as well. And their hardware wallets

103
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.399
<v Speaker 1>are open source support a variety of tokens, so I'm

104
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>talking Bitcoin, etherorem XRP, Solana, all the top all coins

105
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 1>and even new all coins and even institutional tokenized coins

106
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.079
<v Speaker 1>like black Rocks, Biddle, So that's pretty amazing that they

107
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>support all these things. And they have a great software

108
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.720
<v Speaker 1>suite called Treasure Suite which helps you to manage your coins,

109
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 1>so it's pretty easy to use. They also have a

110
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.879
<v Speaker 1>handholding service, so you can talk to a customer service

111
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.920
<v Speaker 1>rep from Treasure to help you on board and get

112
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>your wallet set up. They're not gonna ask for your

113
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.800
<v Speaker 1>private keys obviously, right, They're going to make sure they

114
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.720
<v Speaker 1>keep that part out, but if you need help in

115
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.480
<v Speaker 1>just walking through the setup and the logistics of the device,

116
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.439
<v Speaker 1>they will help you to do that. Folks, you can

117
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.439
<v Speaker 1>use my code thinking crypto, that's all one word, thinking

118
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Crypto to get five percent off. So if you'd like

119
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:51.959
<v Speaker 1>to learn more about Treasures products, check out the link

120
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:55.240
<v Speaker 1>in the description. Now some more big news, this one

121
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:59.959
<v Speaker 1>out of Dubai. Dubai officially approves the first crypto options license.

122
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:04.879
<v Speaker 1>So we're seeing regulations, licenses, and guard wheels being put

123
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:08.680
<v Speaker 1>into place around the world again for more participation in

124
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.759
<v Speaker 1>the asset class. And a lot of this is for

125
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:15.040
<v Speaker 1>retail but also institutional investors, so it will allow more

126
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:19.399
<v Speaker 1>capital to come in as these licenses and regulations and

127
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:22.319
<v Speaker 1>clarity is being provided. Because you know a lot of

128
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>the institutional investors they're sitting on the sidelines waiting for

129
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:27.920
<v Speaker 1>the clarity. They don't want to touch things where they

130
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.560
<v Speaker 1>could be at risk of getting a lawsuits or you know,

131
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>there's no protections in place. So once you have the

132
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:37.360
<v Speaker 1>infrastructure elements in place, it will allow these folks to

133
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:40.600
<v Speaker 1>get off the sidelines and start investing. And like I said,

134
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.519
<v Speaker 1>more on ramps being built. So this is very bullish,

135
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:47.360
<v Speaker 1>so here's the details for that. News just shared Nomora's

136
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Laser Digital to launch the first regulated OTC desk for

137
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:55.120
<v Speaker 1>crypto options in Dubai. Now OTC is over the counters,

138
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.279
<v Speaker 1>so these are transactions that are done buying and selling

139
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>that is done outside of the market, so it's not

140
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:04.600
<v Speaker 1>recorded on the open market. So usually a lot of whales,

141
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, they go buy directly and while the transaction

142
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:10.000
<v Speaker 1>is recorded on the blockchain, is not recorded by the

143
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.399
<v Speaker 1>market makers, and the open market is to move the price,

144
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:15.759
<v Speaker 1>so you definitely have to keep that in mind that

145
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>as these institutions are buying, many of them are doing

146
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.279
<v Speaker 1>it via OTC. So the limited license will allow Laser

147
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Digital to offer OTC crypto options to institutional clients under

148
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:30.879
<v Speaker 1>strict oversight, the company said Wednesday. OTC desks allow institutions

149
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:34.320
<v Speaker 1>to trade large volumes of digital assets directly with counterparties,

150
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:38.440
<v Speaker 1>minimizing slippage and enabling more flexible pricing. These desks are

151
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.639
<v Speaker 1>typically used by hedge funds, asset managers, trading firms, and

152
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:46.679
<v Speaker 1>other high volume institutional clients. Folks, things are moving ahead

153
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.919
<v Speaker 1>here around the globe. Now let's jump to the UK

154
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:55.039
<v Speaker 1>the UK allows retail access to crypto etns signals pushed

155
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:57.679
<v Speaker 1>to become a crypto hub. So the UK has been

156
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:00.440
<v Speaker 1>losing some crypto business to the United States since the

157
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.960
<v Speaker 1>United States opened up from a regulatory and having a

158
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:06.840
<v Speaker 1>more friendlier environment, of course, because a lot of firms

159
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:11.039
<v Speaker 1>had left the United States undered against their Elizabeth Warren regime,

160
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.480
<v Speaker 1>and now a lot of them are coming back. So

161
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the UK is trying to win some of the business

162
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:19.200
<v Speaker 1>back and keep folks there. So the United Kingdom Financial

163
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:23.279
<v Speaker 1>regulator lifted a ban on crypto exchange traded notes c

164
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>etns for retail investors, in a move welcome by industry

165
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:30.120
<v Speaker 1>leaders as a step toward aligning the UK with the

166
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:34.159
<v Speaker 1>global crypto markets as a digital asset hub. On Friday,

167
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:38.080
<v Speaker 1>the UK's Financial Conduct Authority FCA reversed the ban on

168
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:43.440
<v Speaker 1>retail access to cetns, with regulatory changes taking effect from

169
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:47.440
<v Speaker 1>October eighth. The ban was enforced in January twenty twenty one,

170
00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:51.360
<v Speaker 1>citing extreme volatility and the lack of legitimate investment need.

171
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 1>So lifting the CETN ban reflects a change in the

172
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:59.759
<v Speaker 1>regulator's approach to crypto assets. In a statement, and FCA executive.

173
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:04.120
<v Speaker 1>The decision reflected how the market had evolved and how

174
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:08.200
<v Speaker 1>crypto related products are better understood. Game theory is playing

175
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:10.600
<v Speaker 1>out here. If they don't do it, I've often said

176
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:13.399
<v Speaker 1>they're going to hurt their own economy because crypto and

177
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:17.399
<v Speaker 1>blockchains will be powering the rails for the markets, governments

178
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:19.960
<v Speaker 1>and economies. And there's a lot of capital, a lot

179
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.440
<v Speaker 1>looking to come into this market and people looking to

180
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.480
<v Speaker 1>trade and invest and build, and if the UK continues

181
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:28.480
<v Speaker 1>the band stuff, they're going to lose out on tax

182
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:32.000
<v Speaker 1>revenue and businesses and jobs and much more. So. This

183
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:34.919
<v Speaker 1>is a great sign to see this happening. Some more

184
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.559
<v Speaker 1>news out of the UK here. Sut Suma secures two

185
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.960
<v Speaker 1>hundred and eighteen million dollars, including one hundred and twenty

186
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:47.879
<v Speaker 1>five million dollars in bitcoin to advance bitcoin strategy. So

187
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>London listed tech firm Satsuma Technology locked in over one

188
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:55.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred and sixty three million British pounds, which is equivalent

189
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:58.720
<v Speaker 1>to two hundred and seventeen point six million dollars and grows.

190
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:02.799
<v Speaker 1>Proceeds from its second convertible loan note round were nearly

191
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:05.600
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and twenty five million dollars settled in Big one.

192
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.240
<v Speaker 1>The rays, which closed on July twenty eighth, overshot its

193
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:12.679
<v Speaker 1>minimum one hundred and twenty nine million dollar target by

194
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:16.200
<v Speaker 1>more than sixty three percent. See the demand here, folks.

195
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:19.320
<v Speaker 1>And again this is overseas. This is not here in

196
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:23.879
<v Speaker 1>the United States, which has the largest capital market, driven

197
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:29.519
<v Speaker 1>by strong interests from crypto native and traditional institutional investors,

198
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:33.600
<v Speaker 1>the company said in a Wednesday announcement. Key words there,

199
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:40.159
<v Speaker 1>traditional institutional investors, all of the all guards are getting

200
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:44.039
<v Speaker 1>ready to come in. They want a piece of this market, guys.

201
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:46.960
<v Speaker 1>And I hope you see what is happening here. I

202
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:50.519
<v Speaker 1>hope you're paying attention, right. This is not made up news.

203
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.200
<v Speaker 1>This is factual information here, and I hope it's resonating

204
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:57.720
<v Speaker 1>and you are putting it into your storage unit of

205
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:01.639
<v Speaker 1>why you should be bullish on right. So let me

206
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.960
<v Speaker 1>sure a quote here. This moment represents a landmark validation

207
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:10.000
<v Speaker 1>of our core belief that fusing a bitcoin native treasury

208
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:15.320
<v Speaker 1>with decentralized AI is a paradigm shift in corporate value creation,

209
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:21.399
<v Speaker 1>said Satsuma CEO Henry Elder. Incredible, incredible news here, folks.

210
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:24.720
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's move ahead. Here's another news item coming

211
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.759
<v Speaker 1>out of the UK. UK's Smarter Web Company raises twenty

212
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:33.240
<v Speaker 1>one million dollars via bitcoin denominated bonds. This is interesting.

213
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.480
<v Speaker 1>So the Smarter Web Company, a publicly traded UK based

214
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.440
<v Speaker 1>company holding bitcoin on its corporate balance sheet, raised twenty

215
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:44.960
<v Speaker 1>one million dollars to a bitcoin denominated bond offering, making

216
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.720
<v Speaker 1>a rare move in the British capital markets. So again

217
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.759
<v Speaker 1>things are heating up in the UK. They realize what's

218
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:55.399
<v Speaker 1>happening in the United States. We need to get going.

219
00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:59.000
<v Speaker 1>We need to ramp up because you know the United States,

220
00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:01.360
<v Speaker 1>we're going to steal their lunch, right, So all of

221
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.720
<v Speaker 1>these folks, they're gonna be in competition now and again

222
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:07.480
<v Speaker 1>it's game theory playing out here. No one wants to

223
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.799
<v Speaker 1>be left behind. So in a Wednesday London Stock Exchange announcement,

224
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.120
<v Speaker 1>the Smarter Web Company disclosed it had launched a bitcoin

225
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:19.200
<v Speaker 1>denominated bond that has already raised fifteen point eight million

226
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.440
<v Speaker 1>British pounds around twenty one million dollars. The bond was

227
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.279
<v Speaker 1>offered in a fully subscribe round backed by the French

228
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:30.519
<v Speaker 1>asset management giant tobomb. I've never heard of these folks,

229
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:34.600
<v Speaker 1>but this is very interesting. The new product, smarter Convert,

230
00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:37.919
<v Speaker 1>was designed in partnership with Tobomb, with the French company

231
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:43.279
<v Speaker 1>investing through three of its managed funds. Tobomb CEO Eves

232
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.399
<v Speaker 1>I can't pronounce this last name, I apologize, said that

233
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:51.720
<v Speaker 1>the company is driven by a commitment to long term alignment. Folks,

234
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.559
<v Speaker 1>the herd, the institutional herd is coming and it's happening

235
00:13:55.759 --> 00:14:00.320
<v Speaker 1>around the globe. This is so bullish. Final news item here.

236
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Token is stocks rise two d and twenty percent in July,

237
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:08.679
<v Speaker 1>reminiscent of the early D five boom. So as Larry Fink,

238
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.080
<v Speaker 1>black Rock CEO said just a couple of years ago,

239
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:14.440
<v Speaker 1>tokenization is the future of finance. As we've been saying,

240
00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:18.279
<v Speaker 1>the markets, the economies, and governments will all run on blockchain,

241
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:21.039
<v Speaker 1>and they're going to tokenize traditional assets, real estate and

242
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:23.000
<v Speaker 1>much more. It's all going to go on the blockchain.

243
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:26.639
<v Speaker 1>I've often said, no more opening and closing. Bell markets

244
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:29.360
<v Speaker 1>will be running twenty four to seven, truly global, more

245
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.919
<v Speaker 1>liquidity on rams around the globe. People who were not

246
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.519
<v Speaker 1>able to access stocks or stock market are going to

247
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:38.399
<v Speaker 1>be able to access it now. So it will provide

248
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:43.600
<v Speaker 1>financial inclusivity and opportunities for many people in developing countries

249
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.679
<v Speaker 1>and much more so. Token is stocks may be approaching

250
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.200
<v Speaker 1>a tipping point as investor demand for blockchain based financial

251
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:55.120
<v Speaker 1>product surges, potentially accelerating the adoption of traditional assets on chain.

252
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Token is stocks, which are part of the growing real

253
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.879
<v Speaker 1>world asset RWA token is aation sector, reached a three

254
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:05.679
<v Speaker 1>hundred and seventy million dollar market capitalization by the end

255
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.000
<v Speaker 1>of July, according to a Wednesday Finance research report shared

256
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:12.919
<v Speaker 1>with coin Telegraph. The Lion's share two hundred and sixty

257
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:16.840
<v Speaker 1>million dollars was attributed to Exodus movement. I've never heard

258
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:19.600
<v Speaker 1>of these folks. The shares were issued through Securitize, so

259
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:22.960
<v Speaker 1>many of you know Securitize. They helped Blackrock to launch

260
00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:26.120
<v Speaker 1>their money market fund, Tokenized money Market Fund, and I've

261
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:29.240
<v Speaker 1>had the CEO and many representatives on the podcast. So

262
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:32.799
<v Speaker 1>excluding this figure, the market capitalization of tokenized stocks rose

263
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:36.799
<v Speaker 1>fifty three point six million dollars, marking a two hundred

264
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:40.600
<v Speaker 1>and twenty percent monthly increase in June. So, folks, there's

265
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:43.480
<v Speaker 1>a race happening here clearly right. You got a lot

266
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:45.840
<v Speaker 1>of Wall Street firm If you caught my interview with

267
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:49.919
<v Speaker 1>Robin's CEO, Vlatinev, and I published that about a day ago. Guys,

268
00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:52.559
<v Speaker 1>go watch it because he talked about Robin Hood's plans

269
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:55.759
<v Speaker 1>to do this, and they have the infrastructure already, the brand,

270
00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:59.840
<v Speaker 1>the retail customer base, and a lot of stocks. Obviously

271
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.519
<v Speaker 1>they're going to move it to the blockchain and they're

272
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:05.960
<v Speaker 1>building their own late layer two on the Arbitrum blockchain.

273
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:10.919
<v Speaker 1>So clearly a massive race here, folks. And you're seeing

274
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:13.960
<v Speaker 1>crypto exchanges jump into the game. Coinbase announced they'll get

275
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:16.639
<v Speaker 1>they're going to be doing this. You have e Toro,

276
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:21.559
<v Speaker 1>they've launched it, so has Craken. So the really cool

277
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:24.679
<v Speaker 1>thing is that, in addition to financial inclusivity and more

278
00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:26.759
<v Speaker 1>reach around the globe, you're going to be able to

279
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:30.720
<v Speaker 1>do DeFi activities with these tokenized assets. And I think

280
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.600
<v Speaker 1>that's what really opens up a lot of opportunities because

281
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.240
<v Speaker 1>you can, rather than just have the assets sit there,

282
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:39.720
<v Speaker 1>it can work for you. So yes, the asset price

283
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:42.960
<v Speaker 1>can appreciate as stock prices do, but if you have

284
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:46.279
<v Speaker 1>it earning yield and you're lending it out and it's

285
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:49.320
<v Speaker 1>all done through smart contracts, you have another avenue to

286
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:52.759
<v Speaker 1>earn passive income. So that's what makes it a game changer,

287
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:55.000
<v Speaker 1>and that's why you have this race happening here. It's

288
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:57.279
<v Speaker 1>not just okay, let's put it on the blockchain, but

289
00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:03.200
<v Speaker 1>there's so many opportunities from a DeFi perspective, in addition

290
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:05.640
<v Speaker 1>to more liquidity because if you open these stocks up

291
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:09.880
<v Speaker 1>to many other jurisdictions that couldn't touch it before. Again,

292
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:13.759
<v Speaker 1>more liquidity. Right, So, guys, do you see where things

293
00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:15.920
<v Speaker 1>are headed? Do you see the direction the puck is

294
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:19.279
<v Speaker 1>heading in? We're skating to that, and this is why

295
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:21.079
<v Speaker 1>we're taking our bets, and we want to look at

296
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:25.359
<v Speaker 1>which blockchains are being adopted for tokenization in addition to

297
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:28.640
<v Speaker 1>other things, because that's the utility, that's the building that's

298
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:31.599
<v Speaker 1>going to happen on these blockchains, and Metcalf's law reads

299
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:34.799
<v Speaker 1>law right, as we have often talked about, will help

300
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:38.720
<v Speaker 1>increase the value and the transactions, the building and all that.

301
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:42.680
<v Speaker 1>So exciting times. I know right now some of you

302
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:45.279
<v Speaker 1>are gonna say, but Tony, the price, the price, the price,

303
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I know, but as we've been talking about, we are

304
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:51.799
<v Speaker 1>still in a macro bowl market for all assets, real estate, cryptos,

305
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:55.920
<v Speaker 1>stock market, and precious metals. Crypto's experience at cool down,

306
00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:57.960
<v Speaker 1>so is the stock market. Markets can go up in

307
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:01.359
<v Speaker 1>a straight line. It's very simple. Look at the RSI

308
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I've been sharing with you guys, right, look at my newsletter.

309
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:06.200
<v Speaker 1>We were in the overbod zone. We're coming out of that.

310
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:08.160
<v Speaker 1>We're heading near to the over sol. We're going to

311
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:12.160
<v Speaker 1>bounce and keep going. The thesis of global liquidity, and

312
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:15.359
<v Speaker 1>all these things are still in play. The Fibonacci levels,

313
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:20.039
<v Speaker 1>the Elliot wave models, they all show nothing has been invalidated.

314
00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:23.400
<v Speaker 1>So be patient. It's summertime, you know here at least

315
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:26.960
<v Speaker 1>in the United States. Go to the beach, go touch grass, right,

316
00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:29.200
<v Speaker 1>and then when we start moving, which I believe will

317
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:31.839
<v Speaker 1>happen later this month, then you come back and we

318
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:34.880
<v Speaker 1>start getting ready to look to take profits. So make

319
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:37.000
<v Speaker 1>sure you got your plan though, right. So that's how

320
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm treating it. I haven't looked at my portfolio in

321
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:42.319
<v Speaker 1>like a week, right, because I know it's down. There's

322
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:44.880
<v Speaker 1>no point. So I got to keep my mental health

323
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:47.799
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to investing. So hope you guys understand

324
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:49.839
<v Speaker 1>these are just little tricks, right, Just don't look at

325
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:53.200
<v Speaker 1>your portfolio when it's down like this. So guys, bullish

326
