00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.439
<v Speaker 1>Are we about to see all coins go in a

2
00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>big run? One legendary trader is looking at the XRP

3
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:10.039
<v Speaker 1>chart and some other all coins that they are set

4
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:13.439
<v Speaker 1>up to do a big move, and Visa is doing

5
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:16.800
<v Speaker 1>some big things with stable coins. I'll give you the details.

<v Speaker 1>my reviewers and listeners in the United States.

14
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:47.359
<v Speaker 2>I hope you all had a great day.

15
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.719
<v Speaker 1>I certainly ate a lot and I have to hit

16
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.439
<v Speaker 1>the gym tomorrow, but it was definitely a great day,

17
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:54.679
<v Speaker 1>a great day to be thankful.

18
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.640
<v Speaker 2>We have a lot to be thankful for, and we're

19
00:00:57.799 --> 00:00:58.439
<v Speaker 2>going to look at the.

20
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Market today, and you look at it from an optimistic standpoint,

21
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>because we know from a macro perspective, markets keep going

22
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.599
<v Speaker 1>up as long as central banks keep printing money. So

23
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:09.400
<v Speaker 1>let's take a look at the price of bitcoin. It

24
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:12.920
<v Speaker 1>is currently above ninety one thousand dollars, so we're seeing

25
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:16.480
<v Speaker 1>some strength here, and some analysts are saying bitcoin could

26
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.359
<v Speaker 1>rally up to about one hundred and five thousand dollars

27
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.719
<v Speaker 1>or a little bit higher before rolling over. Now that's

28
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>one scenario we've talked about, a deadcat bounce or relief rally,

29
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.879
<v Speaker 1>which you know, bitcoin has been oversold, so the natural

30
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 1>direction is going the opposite way, right going up, So

31
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.239
<v Speaker 1>let's see where bitcoin goes. Some analysts are backtracking their

32
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.480
<v Speaker 1>price predictions, like Tom Lee says, no more two hundred

33
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>and fifty thousand dollars bitcoin by the end of the year,

34
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.359
<v Speaker 1>and no all time high. So I think a lot

35
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>of people are just looking at this as bitcoin doesn't

36
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>have enough time to get back to one hundred thousand dollars,

37
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.879
<v Speaker 1>let alone all time highs. So Tom Lee says, I

38
00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>think it's still very likely that bitcoin is going above

39
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.120
<v Speaker 1>one hundred thousand and those before year end, and maybe

40
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:04.879
<v Speaker 1>even to a new high. But he's putting a less

41
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>of a probability on a new all time high. And

42
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:09.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, one of the things we've been talking about, guys,

43
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.639
<v Speaker 1>is that this cycle is different because you have the tariffs.

44
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>The tariffs with the big curveball, and that was introduced

45
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:18.520
<v Speaker 1>earlier this year caused a massive market crash and it

46
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:20.840
<v Speaker 1>has pushed back the timeline. So one of the things

47
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I was sharing to you with you guys all summer

48
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.159
<v Speaker 1>was that this market could roll into Q one twenty

49
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:28.159
<v Speaker 1>twenty six, and it looks like it's going to do that.

50
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>But you know, we're talking probabilities here, right. I don't

51
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:35.080
<v Speaker 1>have a crystal ball. So one scenario is we see

52
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Bitcoin do a dead cat bounce, doesn't go to new

53
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.919
<v Speaker 1>old time highs, rolls over and goes into a bear market.

54
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:43.199
<v Speaker 1>Or the other scenario is it continues to chop and

55
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>move sideways and then starts breaking out in Q one.

56
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.039
<v Speaker 1>But we're going to have to wait and see. However,

57
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.919
<v Speaker 1>if bitcoin did indeed top out, you know, at one

58
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty five thousand dollars or so, where is

59
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 1>the all season that we normally see and could that

60
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>be around the corner. And one legendary trader, Peter Brand

61
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:05.840
<v Speaker 1>and many of you may know him, he's been trading

62
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.439
<v Speaker 1>commodities since the seventies. I had interviewed him on the

63
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:11.599
<v Speaker 1>podcast last year, he's tweeted out a kind of a

64
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:14.599
<v Speaker 1>cryptic tweak. By the way, he says, hey, crypto traders,

65
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:16.960
<v Speaker 1>do not despair. Here are two coins I could do

66
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.439
<v Speaker 1>quite well in the months to come. Now he says months, right,

67
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:24.599
<v Speaker 1>So this leads us into Q one of twenty twenty six. Now,

68
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:27.400
<v Speaker 1>the games he was playing here, he showed the charts,

69
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>but he did not show the names. However, if you

70
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>look at the charts, they certainly look like XRPS chart

71
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.280
<v Speaker 1>right if you mirror it up there, it certainly looks

72
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.479
<v Speaker 1>like XRPIECE chart. And then you have another chart here.

73
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.439
<v Speaker 1>Some people are saying it's bitcoin cash. But the point

74
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>is if these coins are gonna move, then you know,

75
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.759
<v Speaker 1>all coins overall are going to move right and right

76
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>now total three which excludes bitcoiny, threem and stable coins.

77
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.919
<v Speaker 1>It's been suffering. It's taken the beating, just like Bitcoin.

78
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:02.439
<v Speaker 1>But you know, could bigcoins continual move eventually have the

79
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>liquidity flow back down to alts right as Bitcoin hits

80
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:09.159
<v Speaker 1>the over bot zone right now, is just climbing out

81
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>of the over sol zone. So that's where the case

82
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>is that these coins could still run. And if you

83
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.759
<v Speaker 1>zoom out a look at the macro. The stock market

84
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:21.199
<v Speaker 1>is still showing some strength despite it being down. You

85
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:25.480
<v Speaker 1>have the Fed ending quantitative tightening on Monday, December first,

86
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.639
<v Speaker 1>so that's just next week, and you're going to see

87
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:32.160
<v Speaker 1>more liquidity come in. You got ray cuts expected, so

88
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.839
<v Speaker 1>capital will get cheaper. People can then raise capital to

89
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:39.279
<v Speaker 1>invest in the markets. You got the market structure, build

90
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.199
<v Speaker 1>a big narrative still out there with that possibly getting

91
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>passed in Q one. And then Trump has been teasing

92
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>that two thousand dollars tariff stimulus check. Now I don't

93
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:52.480
<v Speaker 1>know if that's going to happen, but the point is

94
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.600
<v Speaker 1>you have these different factors that are lining up here.

95
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>And keep in mind the last time the market top,

96
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>that was the FED heading into quant tative tightening, right,

97
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 1>tightening the balance sheet and they were starting to raise rates,

98
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.399
<v Speaker 1>and then that rolled us. That was November December twenty

99
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:10.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty one. Then we rolled into the bear market of

100
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:11.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two.

101
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.000
<v Speaker 2>So where the opposite is happening now.

102
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:19.720
<v Speaker 1>So this is why the macro again I'm thinking, is

103
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:20.920
<v Speaker 1>a bullish setup.

104
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Now that doesn't mean.

105
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.600
<v Speaker 1>This bullmarket will continue forever. It could be the top

106
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 1>happens in twenty twenty six. Maybe the middle, right, I

107
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know when FED chair Jerome Powell is done and

108
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.519
<v Speaker 1>Trump brings in his own chair and who does his

109
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:39.600
<v Speaker 1>bidding for the most part, and they started cutting rates

110
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.399
<v Speaker 1>aggressively and much more, you know, something along those lines.

111
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.800
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have to wait and see. But I think

112
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.480
<v Speaker 1>there's a setup here. The charts are showing something bullish

113
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:52.079
<v Speaker 1>for certain all coins. You got the macro factors, and

114
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think this bull market's over now. I could

115
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:58.759
<v Speaker 1>be wrong, guys, right, I'm just sharing the scenarios here,

116
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>and I think the higher abilities on the bull side

117
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:04.639
<v Speaker 1>because if you just look at Bitcoin and one analyst

118
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, highlighted bitcoins set up here, it's still higher

119
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:09.920
<v Speaker 1>highs and higher lows.

120
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Right.

121
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.519
<v Speaker 1>As far as what Bitcoin pulled back to, it's still

122
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:17.079
<v Speaker 1>a higher low. So we're going to have to be

123
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.879
<v Speaker 1>patient and wait and see how things play out. Now.

124
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:25.519
<v Speaker 1>One thing that's interesting for XRP. Binance's XRP reserves have

125
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:29.360
<v Speaker 1>fallen to about two point seven billion, one of the

126
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:33.480
<v Speaker 1>lowest ever, as steady outflows show investors pulling tokens off

127
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:39.240
<v Speaker 1>the exchange. Now, historically this has been very bullish we

128
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:43.439
<v Speaker 1>have seen that when people are buying and moving coins

129
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.079
<v Speaker 1>off chain, that is very good because that means there's

130
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.519
<v Speaker 1>less cell pressure. Right, they are buying and moving it

131
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.000
<v Speaker 1>off chain to cold storage or whatever it may be,

132
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:53.800
<v Speaker 1>So this is a good sign. The same thing is

133
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.959
<v Speaker 1>actually happening for bitcoin right now, so let's see maybe

134
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:58.600
<v Speaker 1>there's a big accumulation happening.

135
00:06:58.639 --> 00:06:58.800
<v Speaker 2>You know.

136
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.560
<v Speaker 1>One of the things I've been highlight is that ETF

137
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:05.319
<v Speaker 1>inflows have been up. Blackrock Bitcoin ETF specifically has been

138
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:08.399
<v Speaker 1>buying now right. They were in a period of outflows

139
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>with the big crash that we had in October, but

140
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:15.720
<v Speaker 1>now that's flipped two inflows. So again, these are all facts,

141
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.399
<v Speaker 1>not feelings or emotions. And these things have been signals

142
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:23.240
<v Speaker 1>in the past showing that there's another rally coming. But

143
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:25.879
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have to be patient and let it play out.

144
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:28.319
<v Speaker 1>I know it's rough, I know it's painful. I know

145
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:32.759
<v Speaker 1>this cycle has been a really crazy one, right, And

146
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.959
<v Speaker 1>like I said, the tariffs were the big curveball, because guys,

147
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>look at what happened leading up into twenty twenty four

148
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>and Q four with the election. We were on track.

149
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Everything was good, right, and then man beginning in twenty

150
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty five was brutal. Now, something else that was different

151
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:54.079
<v Speaker 1>was in twenty twenty four with the bitcoin having. Bitcoin

152
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.920
<v Speaker 1>hit a new all time high before the having and

153
00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:00.000
<v Speaker 1>that was due to the ETF one, so that was different.

154
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.759
<v Speaker 1>It kind of put us ahead of schedule. But then

155
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:07.319
<v Speaker 1>the tirep situation set us back right, So it's been

156
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:10.079
<v Speaker 1>kind of wild. But this is investing guys. You know,

157
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:13.399
<v Speaker 1>the markets don't do what we want necessarily, but if

158
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:15.519
<v Speaker 1>we continue to follow the data and stick to the

159
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:19.839
<v Speaker 1>foundational principles, we can navigate our way. And you know,

160
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.879
<v Speaker 1>if you bought like me in the bloody bear market,

161
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.160
<v Speaker 1>your portfolio is still up even though things are down

162
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:28.240
<v Speaker 1>right now in the short term, so it's all about

163
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.759
<v Speaker 1>your entry price as well, folks. This episode is brought

164
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:34.200
<v Speaker 1>to you by Proppy. Propy's leading the charge or putting

165
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:37.240
<v Speaker 1>real estate on chain. I'm a property token holder, I

166
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.080
<v Speaker 1>have been since twenty eighteen. When I discovered this project,

167
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:42.960
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I got to invest in this because

168
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.639
<v Speaker 1>I know the real estate industry, the world's largest asset class,

169
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:49.559
<v Speaker 1>will be disrupted by blockchain, and now we're seeing the

170
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:53.039
<v Speaker 1>tokenization of real estate as well. Propy allows you to

171
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:55.320
<v Speaker 1>buy and sell real estate with cryptos. If you want

172
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.879
<v Speaker 1>to sell your house or bitcoin xrpetherum, you can do that.

173
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:02.080
<v Speaker 1>And they are putting deeds on on chain, titles on chain,

174
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>and they've been around once again since twenty seventeen. They've

175
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:10.440
<v Speaker 1>done over five billion dollars in deals, and legendary investor

176
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:14.159
<v Speaker 1>Tim Draper, he's a big time investor, is invested in

177
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:16.720
<v Speaker 1>his project and he's very bullish on it, and folks,

178
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:19.759
<v Speaker 1>for the buying and selling of properties, they use coinbase

179
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:22.399
<v Speaker 1>for the escrow service, and of course their platform is

180
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.080
<v Speaker 1>blockchain Power. You also have an AI assystem here that

181
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.799
<v Speaker 1>helps you with all these things, so we know this

182
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:30.919
<v Speaker 1>is the feature, right. So this is why I'm bullish

183
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.279
<v Speaker 1>on Propy long term. I've been a token holder for

184
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:35.440
<v Speaker 1>a very long time, and like I said, they're putting

185
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the different aspects of the realistrate market

186
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:41.919
<v Speaker 1>and transactions on chain, so it's incredible. You can go

187
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:43.879
<v Speaker 1>on their website, take a look at the properties for

188
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>sale and you can once again buy and sell for

189
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:49.919
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin and crypto assets, which is really great. So folks,

190
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:51.759
<v Speaker 1>if you'd like to learn more about Propy, you go

191
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:55.279
<v Speaker 1>to property dot com link will be in the description. Now, folks,

192
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:57.759
<v Speaker 1>something you should know about. There is a malicious Chrome

193
00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:02.399
<v Speaker 1>extension called crypto Copilot, which is letting users trade Solana

194
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:06.399
<v Speaker 1>from x while secretly skimming sol the sole token from

195
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:09.240
<v Speaker 1>every swap. So this is really bad, guys. So I

196
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:10.759
<v Speaker 1>don't know if any of you are using it. It's

197
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:14.200
<v Speaker 1>called once again crypto Copilot. It's a Chrome extension and

198
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:18.159
<v Speaker 1>they're skimming your transactions. So if you've been using this,

199
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:21.399
<v Speaker 1>I suggest you get rid of it right away. According

200
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:25.200
<v Speaker 1>to its Tuesday report by cybersecurity companies Socket, the Google

201
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:28.759
<v Speaker 1>Chrome extension allows users to trade on Solana from their

202
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:32.919
<v Speaker 1>ex social media feed. Unlike typical wallet draining malware that

203
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:36.440
<v Speaker 1>tries to steal the entire balance, crypto Copolt injects an

204
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:41.080
<v Speaker 1>extra transfer into every Solana swap, siphoning a minimum of

205
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:44.440
<v Speaker 1>zero points zero zero one three soul or zero point

206
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:47.799
<v Speaker 1>zero five percent of the trade Socket found on the

207
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:51.639
<v Speaker 1>back end, the crypto Copilot uses the decentralized exchange Radium

208
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:55.559
<v Speaker 1>to perform swaps for the user, but appends a second

209
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:59.120
<v Speaker 1>instruction that transfers Sole from the user to the attacker.

210
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Use your interface only shows the swap details, while wallet

211
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:09.440
<v Speaker 1>confirmation screens summarize the transaction without surfacing individual instructions. So

212
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:14.399
<v Speaker 1>once again, guys, if you're using this, deleted asap, and

213
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:16.519
<v Speaker 1>you got to be careful with these things out there

214
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:19.519
<v Speaker 1>because they're still bad actors trying to take advantage of people.

215
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>And look, this happens in the non crypto world. We

216
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:25.279
<v Speaker 1>know it happens in the tech world and much more

217
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.879
<v Speaker 1>so you got to be very vigilant.

218
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:29.799
<v Speaker 2>Don't trust verify.

219
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:34.279
<v Speaker 1>Now, Visa doubles down on stable coins in Europe, Middle

220
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:37.600
<v Speaker 1>East Africa with new partnership. Guys, we are seeing these

221
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:40.840
<v Speaker 1>big credit card companies Visa, MasterCard and others going all

222
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:44.879
<v Speaker 1>in on crypto. They're using stable coins, they're using blockchain technology.

223
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.200
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing how things have changed. So the new partnership

224
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:52.960
<v Speaker 1>is with crypto infrastructure company aqua Now. In an announcement Thursday,

225
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Visa said it partnered with aqua Now to settle transactions

226
00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:02.159
<v Speaker 1>using approved stable coins such as USDC, reducing costs, operational friction,

227
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:05.879
<v Speaker 1>and settlement times. The company said the move came amid

228
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.639
<v Speaker 1>strong demand from banks and payment companies for faster, cheaper

229
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.399
<v Speaker 1>cross border payments. So the move aims to leverage stable

230
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:17.000
<v Speaker 1>coins to digitize the back end of money movement and

231
00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>to enable twenty four to seven settlement. God Free Sullivant,

232
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Visa's head of Product and Solutions for the Semia region,

233
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:28.240
<v Speaker 1>said the integration will allow institutions in the region to

234
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:30.879
<v Speaker 1>experience faster and simpler settlements.

235
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Here's a quote.

236
00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Our partnership with Aqua now is another key step in

237
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.759
<v Speaker 1>modernizing the back end rails of payments, reducing reliance on

238
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:44.559
<v Speaker 1>traditional systems like multiple intermediaries, and preparing institutions for the

239
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:48.720
<v Speaker 1>future of money movement. Incredible, guys, this is what blockchain

240
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:53.360
<v Speaker 1>technology offers. And if you still don't understand why crypto,

241
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:54.200
<v Speaker 1>why blockchain?

242
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:54.759
<v Speaker 2>Here you go.

243
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.360
<v Speaker 1>It allows for instant settlement twenty four to seven transactions,

244
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:03.080
<v Speaker 1>no more waiting weeks, days and weeks and so forth.

245
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:07.159
<v Speaker 1>For settlement. It happens instantaneously, you can verify it.

246
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.679
<v Speaker 2>It's real time. So it's incredible.

247
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Now, look at this Bhutan stakes nine hundred and seventy

248
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:17.240
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars of eth via figment in a validator push.

249
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Now.

250
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Bhutan has been very bullish on crypto. They're known as

251
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:25.679
<v Speaker 1>the Royal Government of Bhutan. They have been buying bitcoin

252
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:29.039
<v Speaker 1>and mining bitcoin, and now they're expanding to eth so.

253
00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Blockchain data shows the Royal Government of Bhutan has staked

254
00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:36.039
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and twenty ether worth roughly nine hundred and

255
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:39.720
<v Speaker 1>seventy thousand dollars through Figment, marking the latest on chain

256
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.840
<v Speaker 1>activity from the Himalayan state as it expands its crypto

257
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.039
<v Speaker 1>holdings and validator operations. Figment is a staking provider that

258
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.200
<v Speaker 1>helps large investors and institutions stake digital assets across multiple

259
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.240
<v Speaker 1>blockchains and earn rewards for securing proof of steak networks.

260
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:59.480
<v Speaker 1>The move adds to a growing wave of Ethereum focused

261
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:03.480
<v Speaker 1>activity from Bhutan. In October, the South Asian nation of

262
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.919
<v Speaker 1>roughly eight hundred thousand people began migrating its self sovereign

263
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:12.120
<v Speaker 1>digital ID system from Polygon to Etheroreum, allowing residents to

264
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:15.919
<v Speaker 1>verify their identities to access government services on the network.

265
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Incredible what they're doing. But what they talked about here

266
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:22.320
<v Speaker 1>about the digital ID that's coming to every country, guys,

267
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:24.720
<v Speaker 1>I feel like this is like a testing ground in

268
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:29.200
<v Speaker 1>a small country. So very interesting moves happening here, and

269
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:32.960
<v Speaker 1>it's bullish. Other nation states and countries are going to

270
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.279
<v Speaker 1>do this, they are going to stake Ether, they're going

271
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:38.279
<v Speaker 1>to hold bitcoin, they're going to mine bitcoin, and they're

272
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:39.480
<v Speaker 1>going to use blockchain tech.

273
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:41.960
<v Speaker 2>So it's incredible. Now, look at this news.

274
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:45.679
<v Speaker 1>A Monday brings euro money market fund on chain with

275
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:51.519
<v Speaker 1>first tokenized share So A Monday, Europe's largest asset manager

276
00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:55.320
<v Speaker 1>has introduced its first tokenized share class for a euro

277
00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:58.159
<v Speaker 1>money market fund. The fund is now offered in a

278
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:02.120
<v Speaker 1>hybrid structure, allowing investors to choose between the traditional version

279
00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:06.039
<v Speaker 1>and the new blockchain based one. The first transaction was

280
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:09.840
<v Speaker 1>recorded on the Etherorem network on November fourth. The rollout

281
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:13.840
<v Speaker 1>was developed in collaboration with a boy I can't pronounce this.

282
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Caceis a European asset servicing group that provided the tokenization infrastructure,

283
00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:24.879
<v Speaker 1>investor wallets, and the digital order system used to process

284
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:30.960
<v Speaker 1>subscriptions and redemptions. So, folks, tokenization happening globally. Notice they're

285
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:34.639
<v Speaker 1>using Etherorem right. Many of them are starting off on ethereum,

286
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.840
<v Speaker 1>just like Blackrock did. Blackrock launched their money market fund

287
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Biddle on Etherreum, but then they started expanding to other chains.

288
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.120
<v Speaker 1>So it's going to be a multi chain world. So

289
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:45.279
<v Speaker 1>you want to look at the blockchains that are getting

290
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:48.759
<v Speaker 1>adoption from these, I mean, the largest asset managers across

291
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:52.559
<v Speaker 1>the globe. And obviously take your bets right so I

292
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:55.720
<v Speaker 1>hold etherm my portfolio. I'm mistaking it currently and much

293
00:15:55.759 --> 00:16:00.000
<v Speaker 1>more so, I'm diversified. Obviously, you don't want to spread

294
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:01.919
<v Speaker 1>yourself too thin, but you do want to look at

295
00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:03.080
<v Speaker 1>what is getting adoption.

296
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:04.879
<v Speaker 2>So great news here, guys.

297
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:08.919
<v Speaker 1>They are Europe's black Rock, the largest asset manager in Europe,

298
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:11.919
<v Speaker 1>like black Rock is the largest acid manager here in

299
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:13.559
<v Speaker 1>the United States, but also in the world, you know,

300
00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:16.279
<v Speaker 1>by assets under management. But you get what I'm saying,

301
00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:20.519
<v Speaker 1>So very very bullish. Now, final news item, Bonk meme

302
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:25.759
<v Speaker 1>coin debuts as ETP on Switzerland's sixth exchange. It's kind

303
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:29.000
<v Speaker 1>of wild to see these meme coins getting ETPs, but

304
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:31.759
<v Speaker 1>there's demand. People want to invest in it. Right Just

305
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:34.720
<v Speaker 1>this week, bit Wise they launched their dosecoin ETF. So

306
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:37.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, while it's not for me, you know I

307
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.600
<v Speaker 1>can say, hey, don't go invest in it. You have

308
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:43.120
<v Speaker 1>to do your own research and you understand the risks.

309
00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:45.799
<v Speaker 1>I personally lean towards these all coins that are getting

310
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:49.000
<v Speaker 1>real world adoption. Utility you know, people are building on them,

311
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:52.120
<v Speaker 1>tokenizing and so forth. But look, memes are out there,

312
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.679
<v Speaker 1>human beings. You know, we love memes, we love culture

313
00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.480
<v Speaker 1>and all that. So it's on the blockchain and here

314
00:16:59.519 --> 00:16:59.799
<v Speaker 1>it is.

315
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:01.559
<v Speaker 2>You know, we're probably.

316
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Gonna see more of this, but it's pretty wild that,

317
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:07.519
<v Speaker 1>you know. Let me just give you some details. The

318
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:10.599
<v Speaker 1>listing brings the meme coin into one of Europe's largest

319
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:14.160
<v Speaker 1>stock markets, allowing investors to gain exposure to bonk through

320
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:18.440
<v Speaker 1>standard brokerage accounts, removing the need for Walter direct token custody.

321
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:20.759
<v Speaker 2>So it's like meme.

322
00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:23.119
<v Speaker 1>Coins injected into the tread five set up here, but

323
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:24.039
<v Speaker 1>not for me.

324
00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:25.960
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I'm not hating.

325
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:28.359
<v Speaker 1>If you enjoy meme coins, you invest in them, you're

326
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:32.240
<v Speaker 1>making money off of them. I'm happy for you. So anyway, folks,
