Latest / The Paul Barron Crypto Show / Crypto Winter Without CLARITY Bill📉Make or Break Week!🚨
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We could be in for a crypto winter. Today we're
- 0:02Speaker 1: going to be breaking all that down for you. There's
- 0:04Speaker 1: a lot of news that is impacting the market. Let's
- 0:06Speaker 1: just get right into it. I do want to think
- 0:08Speaker 1: our sponsor today and that is going to be Tangum.
- 0:11Speaker 1: There is a very special availability on tangum right now.
- 0:15Speaker 1: It's kind of a hack. I'll show it to you
- 0:16Speaker 1: the way you set it up. By the way, this
- 0:18Speaker 1: is the best self custom tool out there. If you're
- 0:21Speaker 1: brand new to crypto. This is the first check on
- 0:24Speaker 1: your list to get into crypto. And the way you
- 0:26Speaker 1: want to do it is go over to the offer,
- 0:29Speaker 1: go into the family pack. What that is going to
- 0:31Speaker 1: do is give you two separate three card sets, plus
- 0:36Speaker 1: you get twenty bucks in a Bitcoin reward and you
- 0:40Speaker 1: get the discounts, so you get the New Year extra discount.
- 0:44Speaker 1: So make sure and click that up there at the
- 0:46Speaker 1: top and then put in our code that's going to
- 0:49Speaker 1: give you another ten percent, so you get in the
- 0:51Speaker 1: Bitcoin reward twenty percent off and you're getting the value
- 0:55Speaker 1: of two different sets available. So you guys, check it out,
- 0:58Speaker 1: use our code down below, and you'll thank me later
- 1:01Speaker 1: because it's the best way to go for self custom
- 1:04Speaker 1: Let's get into a lot of news today. A lot
- 1:06Speaker 1: is happening, especially around high stakes of where the market
- 1:09Speaker 1: is heading. One of the things you've got to look at,
- 1:12Speaker 1: of course, is the Market Structure Bill. Failure to pass
- 1:15Speaker 1: this crypto market Structure Bill would cap us valuations in
- 1:19Speaker 1: a big way, and this would end up with some
- 1:21Speaker 1: pretty big regulatory risk premiums. So think of it this way.
- 1:25Speaker 1: There's a lot of crypto setting right now in a
- 1:28Speaker 1: bad position. The opportunity for that crypto is really hinged
- 1:33Speaker 1: on where the market structure is going. And remember there's
- 1:35Speaker 1: two bills that are going through Congress right now. And
- 1:38Speaker 1: if you look at polymarket, the Clarity Act signed into law,
- 1:41Speaker 1: even though it is showing signs of growth, I think
- 1:44Speaker 1: a lot of people are a little bit confused because
- 1:47Speaker 1: this specifically is under Let me kind of go down
- 1:51Speaker 1: here of House Rep. Build thirty six thirty three. That
- 1:55Speaker 1: is the Clarity Act, not the Senate agg bill that's
- 1:58Speaker 1: coming through right now, which is mos likely going to
- 2:00Speaker 1: be the one that gets approved. So I don't know
- 2:02Speaker 1: if you're out there using poly market, but if you are,
- 2:04Speaker 1: be aware of those kind of little nuances within it.
- 2:07Speaker 1: The good news is that it's likely that we could
- 2:11Speaker 1: get the AG bill through. The AG Bill is the
- 2:13Speaker 1: lighter touch of the two, and of course one of
- 2:17Speaker 1: the things that's holding it up is this winter storm
- 2:20Speaker 1: that we are in the middle of right now across
- 2:22Speaker 1: the United States. And if you look at the current
- 2:25Speaker 1: situation around government shutdown, this also could be impacted by
- 2:28Speaker 1: the winter storm. It has also risen and has been
- 2:31Speaker 1: holding right now around seventy nine percent, dropping a little bit.
- 2:35Speaker 1: But right here, the Senate Ad Committee has now rescheduled
- 2:38Speaker 1: the crypto Market Structure markup for ten thirty on Thursday.
- 2:41Speaker 1: If everything comes out right, they can get back to DC.
- 2:43Speaker 1: For those of traveling, this will be the date to watch,
- 2:46Speaker 1: is ten thirty. If this thing goes through, this will
- 2:48Speaker 1: be a significant sign going forward. And right here you've
- 2:52Speaker 1: got Mike Saley, of course, the chairman of the CFTC,
- 2:55Speaker 1: coming in that. They also push back their alignment meeting,
- 2:58Speaker 1: which is the rescheduling the CFTC and the SEC harmonization event,
- 3:03Speaker 1: which is also set up for Thursday after the markup time.
- 3:08Speaker 1: So notice a two pm Eastern time. They're very big deal.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Now I want to go to a clip real quick,
- 3:12Speaker 1: because this will get into some of the issues that
- 3:15Speaker 1: we are facing and is it worth it is really
- 3:18Speaker 1: what it boils down to. I think everybody's asking that
- 3:20Speaker 1: around yields.
- 3:21Speaker 2: Take a look.
- 3:22Speaker 3: I put eighty percent waiting on yield on stable coins
- 3:25Speaker 3: as the big issue, maybe ninety the other two. No
- 3:28Speaker 3: matter as much, there'll be some kind of compromise. They
- 3:30Speaker 3: have to provide competitive yield against this money center bank
- 3:33Speaker 3: or a regional bank. It's ridiculous. What's fair about that?
- 3:36Speaker 3: Where Why am I not getting that? And I can
- 3:39Speaker 3: get that on a stable coin. I can get three
- 3:41Speaker 3: point five right now or lend it out with some
- 3:42Speaker 3: leverage and make seven. But if this bill passes that way,
- 3:47Speaker 3: that's totally unfair. I've let my voice know and I'm
- 3:49Speaker 3: going to watching you next week to make more noise
- 3:51Speaker 3: about it. It's just unfair and that's un American. And
- 3:54Speaker 3: that's why I'm going to look at does it pass
- 3:56Speaker 3: perfore midterms?
- 3:57Speaker 4: I think it.
- 3:58Speaker 3: Has to give you my estimate May fifteen.
- 4:01Speaker 1: All right, so even on Thursday, it doesn't mean that
- 4:03Speaker 1: that's when we get the bill. What happens is is
- 4:06Speaker 1: immediate steps after the markup, it goes to committee vote,
- 4:09Speaker 1: it gets over to the Senate floor, then it has
- 4:11Speaker 1: to go to pre floor negotiations CENTI. Floor Action will
- 4:14Speaker 1: come back and debate it. Then that reconciliation comes in
- 4:17Speaker 1: from the House. That's what has to happen, and then
- 4:19Speaker 1: the final step, of course, goes through to make it law. Now,
- 4:23Speaker 1: the point being is that when that occurs, the likelihood
- 4:27Speaker 1: of DeFi exploding is going to be real. So be
- 4:30Speaker 1: watching the vaults. You can, of course take a look
- 4:33Speaker 1: right here. AVE is going to be a big part
- 4:35Speaker 1: of this lido of course, right there, all right, So
- 4:38Speaker 1: I want to go to a clip real quick. This
- 4:39Speaker 1: is the general counselor of the VITA site we just showed,
- 4:42Speaker 1: and they're explaining why this bill may not matter at all.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Take a look.
- 4:47Speaker 4: I'm very skeptical of an argument that allowing consumers to
- 4:51Speaker 4: earn more of the value of their own money is
- 4:54Speaker 4: going to lead to a collapse of the system of
- 4:56Speaker 4: credit in this country. For instance, if you look at
- 4:59Speaker 4: on chain lending protocols like AVE for instance, these have
- 5:03Speaker 4: grown significantly even just over the past year, and over time,
- 5:07Speaker 4: I think what you might see is that banks stop
- 5:10Speaker 4: being the default lending source for all credit, and they
- 5:14Speaker 4: just become one source among many consumer options. Right, So
- 5:19Speaker 4: the real change won't be credit disappearing necessarily, It'll be
- 5:23Speaker 4: credit that's funded and priced in a way that's more
- 5:26Speaker 4: direct more to those who actually supply the capital. Regardless
- 5:31Speaker 4: of where this bill lands on this particular stable coin
- 5:35Speaker 4: yield issue, it's not going to reverse that broader paradigm
- 5:39Speaker 4: shift that we're seeing.
- 5:41Speaker 1: And what she's talking about there really is the growth
- 5:44Speaker 1: of lending and crypto. Now, granted it is still a
- 5:47Speaker 1: very burgeoning market, growing market. If you look at the
- 5:51Speaker 1: AVE data right now, you can see after the October
- 5:54Speaker 1: tenth event, but the liquidity that of course pushed out
- 5:57Speaker 1: of the market at that time. Still we've had significant
- 6:00Speaker 1: uptrends in AVE, which of course is one of the
- 6:04Speaker 1: de facto lending protocols out there for how this market
- 6:07Speaker 1: will work. And DeFi I'm in agreement with her in
- 6:09Speaker 1: the sense that banks are not going to see this
- 6:12Speaker 1: exodus of capital. There's just too many people that don't
- 6:15Speaker 1: want to go through those hoops just yet. Yes, there
- 6:18Speaker 1: will be some, but I think this is going to
- 6:20Speaker 1: represent a bigger opportunity more so than a disadvantage. For
- 6:24Speaker 1: the banks, they just need to kind of come to
- 6:27Speaker 1: that realization, and maybe they already have. We'll see. Now
- 6:30Speaker 1: let's take a look at Ether, of course leading on
- 6:33Speaker 1: chain lending around twenty eight billion in active loans right now.
- 6:36Speaker 1: If you look at just the growth right there on
- 6:38Speaker 1: that chart, absolutely skyrocket and this is very early. And
- 6:42Speaker 1: again remember these are bell curves before real adoption has
- 6:46Speaker 1: even taken place, so very small in terms of the
- 6:50Speaker 1: long term outlook here overall other things, just to look for,
- 6:54Speaker 1: ETH is going after quantum resistance. They got their first
- 6:57Speaker 1: funding ground. This is going to be a big deal
- 7:00Speaker 1: to basically enact. And we've had justin on before talking
- 7:03Speaker 1: about this and the issue of getting quantum resistance for eight.
- 7:06Speaker 1: The reason that is important is because it starts to
- 7:09Speaker 1: set ethereum up to compete very heavily with the other
- 7:13Speaker 1: major tokens in the blue chip class. And that is
- 7:17Speaker 1: important when you think about how fast AI is moving
- 7:21Speaker 1: and how quickly quantum resistance is going to need to
- 7:23Speaker 1: be done. If the status quo plays out, ETH will
- 7:26Speaker 1: be the only quantum secure crypto asset and possibly flip
- 7:30Speaker 1: Bitcoin in one to two years. This is a very
- 7:33Speaker 1: I don't think this is a too outlandish of a
- 7:35Speaker 1: time zone. In fact, it could happen faster if we
- 7:38Speaker 1: start to see the acceleration which we have already started
- 7:41Speaker 1: to see with these faster chips. This is kind of
- 7:44Speaker 1: an interesting point right here, very possibility timeline where ETH
- 7:47Speaker 1: becomes a quantum resistant before the centralized financial system. Think
- 7:50Speaker 1: about that for a second, that ETH becomes the de
- 7:53Speaker 1: facto quantum resistant opportunity here when AI is coming up
- 7:59Speaker 1: and banks are in the midst of shifting over an
- 8:02Speaker 1: entire financial system. Think about the attack vectors. That is
- 8:06Speaker 1: a big deal. This is good for ethereum. I think
- 8:08Speaker 1: when you really look at the bigger picture here. Other
- 8:12Speaker 1: things you have to look at, of course, is the
- 8:13Speaker 1: struggle that bitcoin is facing right now. Bitcoin mining, of
- 8:16Speaker 1: course facing the weather shock. One thing to consider here
- 8:19Speaker 1: is when you think about proof of work with bitcoin mining.
- 8:23Speaker 1: This is a lot of the centralized I would call
- 8:26Speaker 1: that almost Bitcoin valley coming through Tennessee, because there's a
- 8:30Speaker 1: handful of big miners, including Riot out there in the
- 8:33Speaker 1: middle of all this mess. So it does have an
- 8:35Speaker 1: effect because it starts to slow down the hash rate.
- 8:38Speaker 1: You can see it falling directly right here. This is
- 8:41Speaker 1: a problem because it is again a natural attack vector.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Here's the Bitcoin profit days. Notice these read up here, guys,
- 8:48Speaker 1: I'll zoom in on that this is periods in time
- 8:52Speaker 1: that the miners are not making money. So just to
- 8:55Speaker 1: consider where all of this is heading, everything's pointing to ETH, guys,
- 9:00Speaker 1: back to clarity real quick. This, of course is the
- 9:02Speaker 1: Blockchain Association hitting on the fact that we do need
- 9:04Speaker 1: to address the Section five O five tokenization token ice stocks.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Remember that Biko went out on an IPO just last week, right,
- 9:13Speaker 1: just a good example right here, Onto now available to
- 9:17Speaker 1: where you can even get Bicho over on Jupiter. This
- 9:19Speaker 1: is going to open up every stock available within these
- 9:22Speaker 1: kind of ecosystems. Nothing is going to slow this down.
- 9:25Speaker 1: If you look at the growth right here, absolutely on fire.
- 9:28Speaker 1: There's Slana. This is so small in comparison to what
- 9:33Speaker 1: the size of this market could be just in the
- 9:36Speaker 1: next few years. Ethereum dailor. Transaction of course is exploding.
- 9:40Speaker 1: And remember, guys, we're kind of in a winter right now,
- 9:43Speaker 1: but yet transactions going up on ETH. And if you
- 9:47Speaker 1: look at the cost right now, lowest it's been in
- 9:50Speaker 1: a very long time. ETH is cracking the code around
- 9:54Speaker 1: how this may come out into the perfect timing of clarity.
- 9:58Speaker 1: What's happening on the technoology front, that's what is happening
- 10:02Speaker 1: within the financial ecosystem, all coming to a perfect winter storm. Here,
- 10:08Speaker 1: of course is World Liberty five. This go a little
- 10:10Speaker 1: bit further into this financial now World Liberty five is
- 10:14Speaker 1: now selling their bitcoin to buy eight Are they catching something?
- 10:17Speaker 1: If you look further into Arkham data, just follow the money.
- 10:20Speaker 1: If you look at World Liberty five, they've got Ondo
- 10:22Speaker 1: sliding up in here. This is something we've talked about already.
- 10:26Speaker 1: And then of course you further go further down into
- 10:29Speaker 1: this and of course you see what they're doing with
- 10:32Speaker 1: of course custody bitcoed lining up right there. Yes, that's
- 10:35Speaker 1: bit Oh, let me kind of zoom in on that
- 10:37Speaker 1: for you. And then of course you have this which
- 10:39Speaker 1: is the AVE connection. And this is where World Liberty
- 10:42Speaker 1: FI basically is using AVE and if you really look
- 10:44Speaker 1: at it, which is where their loans are going to
- 10:46Speaker 1: be done. This platform and project was submitted on the
- 10:50Speaker 1: AVE Governance forum. So basically this was an instance of
- 10:53Speaker 1: AFA going out for World Liberty five. Big connection here
- 10:57Speaker 1: when you look at the data here on this tweet.
- 11:00Speaker 1: This is a good one because it shows Ave's overall flow.
- 11:04Speaker 1: This is a trillion right now total loans originated. And
- 11:07Speaker 1: if you look right here, this is where we get
- 11:10Speaker 1: into institutional just beginning there on the horizon r Toba markets.
- 11:15Speaker 1: So imagine when Clarity gets through, the opportunity for institutional
- 11:19Speaker 1: capital to start utilizing this for max yield extraction into
- 11:24Speaker 1: these markets. All right, So one other thing on AVE,
- 11:27Speaker 1: the app is getting ready hopefully we'll get getting ready
- 11:29Speaker 1: to launch. This of course will make it much easier
- 11:32Speaker 1: to start lending for the average person, which of course
- 11:35Speaker 1: gets you into I think a chat GPT moment in
- 11:38Speaker 1: terms of adoption. A lot of opportunity here, for sure.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Let's take a look at what Tom Lee is doing.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Bit Mine of course buys another forty thousand and eighth
- 11:46Speaker 1: one hundred and seventeen million on the payday. This of
- 11:49Speaker 1: course puts a lot of pressure into Tom Lee because already,
- 11:52Speaker 1: if you look at this, his portfolio is down four
- 11:55Speaker 1: billion dollars right now, So a big deal for Tom Lee.
- 12:00Speaker 1: He is all in for sure, the most traded activity
- 12:03Speaker 1: that we're seeing coming in from bitmind. Of course, you
- 12:06Speaker 1: can kind of see in good company right there, Salesforce
- 12:08Speaker 1: right above them. Interesting, there's a connection to that. I
- 12:11Speaker 1: want to play a clip for it to tie it together.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Take a look.
- 12:14Speaker 2: So I tweeted that I wanted to make a Super
- 12:16Speaker 2: Bowl commercial, and surprisingly, the CEO of Salesforce replied that
- 12:20Speaker 2: he was interested. So I got on a flight and
- 12:22Speaker 2: just showed up at their headquarters. Are you guys being
- 12:24Speaker 2: serious with the tweet? I can make the super Bowl commercial?
- 12:27Speaker 4: Well?
- 12:27Speaker 2: Walk Well, can I do whatever I want with the commercial?
- 12:30Speaker 4: Legal?
- 12:30Speaker 3: It's to be legal for our products in it.
- 12:32Speaker 2: And so I told him my plan and within thirty
- 12:34Speaker 2: seconds I already knew what they'd say. What do you
- 12:36Speaker 2: think of it? And all I'm going to say is
- 12:38Speaker 2: this super Bowl. If you see the commercial, you might
- 12:40Speaker 2: become a millionaire. This is going to be.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Epig capal millionaire. I like it giving away some money.
- 12:45Speaker 1: The super Bowl ad is coming from mister Beef. And
- 12:49Speaker 1: one other thing I want you to take a look at.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Super Bowl is going to connect the dots here with polymarket.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Poly Market we already saw within the political arena. Imagine
- 13:00Speaker 1: where this is going to be going when it comes
- 13:02Speaker 1: to the biggest epicenter of sports, and that being the
- 13:05Speaker 1: Super Bowl. All right, when you look at this tweet,
- 13:08Speaker 1: basically it's better spreads, better prices. This is of course,
- 13:10Speaker 1: is going to cost polymarket to boom. And if you
- 13:13Speaker 1: look at one other thing, that of course makes the
- 13:15Speaker 1: market a little bit unsettling. This is the issue of uncertainty.
- 13:20Speaker 1: And you think about uncertainty. We are at the highest
- 13:23Speaker 1: point ever right here. World Trade Uncertainty Index also showing
- 13:27Speaker 1: massive uncertainty. Maybe there is a settling down, maybe we
- 13:31Speaker 1: have reached max peak or maybe not. So this uncertainty
- 13:36Speaker 1: really boils down to one thing right now, we think
- 13:39Speaker 1: that it's clarity. So this is the Bellweather moment for crypto.
