- 0:44Speaker 2: Let's just get right into it.
- 0:46Speaker 1: I want to start with this right here, and this
- 0:48Speaker 1: is the chart of the Shanghai Composite Stock Market Index.
- 0:53Speaker 1: What you're seeing here is a little bit of down trend, yes,
- 0:57Speaker 1: a little bit of a spike right here. And I
- 0:58Speaker 1: think the point being is what's going on right here,
- 1:01Speaker 1: and that is are US investors dumping Chinese equities? Well,
- 1:06Speaker 1: if you look at it, it appears that maybe that's happening.
- 1:10Speaker 1: Right on the face of this, it looks like it.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Right everybody sees those tickers they're concerned about getting delisted
- 1:16Speaker 1: from Trump. And the thing is is that this now
- 1:20Speaker 1: can easily be sorted through Hong Kong instead, So that
- 1:24Speaker 1: means that the US can essentially get it's only a
- 1:28Speaker 1: US listed rapper. Remember, this is what we're they're concerned with.
- 1:31Speaker 1: So if that exit is happening, the money can now
- 1:33Speaker 1: go in through Hong Kong. And if you look at
- 1:35Speaker 1: this point right here, this is what I'm calling the
- 1:38Speaker 1: Chinese pump team, because they're injecting sixty billion in U
- 1:44Speaker 1: on this of course came in in July and this
- 1:47Speaker 1: was deploying about sixty billion in you on eight point
- 1:50Speaker 1: nine billion through stock re buybacks on facilities, and you
- 1:53Speaker 1: would think, okay, that's one strategy, but then again this
- 1:57Speaker 1: is accelerated into just now right there you have the
- 2:01Speaker 1: PBOC also adding more operations and more funding into this.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Remember China is tapping twenty eight rhon dollars markets right
- 2:09Speaker 1: here to fund a lot of what's happening with the
- 2:10Speaker 1: AI race with the US, and that I think is
- 2:15Speaker 1: why we're seeing this, so you can compare what's happening
- 2:18Speaker 1: not only with the AI liquidity, but now you have
- 2:21Speaker 1: to look at.
- 2:22Speaker 2: The first trigger.
- 2:23Speaker 1: So what market could affect AI the most, Well, most
- 2:26Speaker 1: of it's going to be the chip makers, and that's
- 2:28Speaker 1: where CXMT comes into play. A four hundred and sixty
- 2:32Speaker 1: six percent market debut serves this essentially is the SpaceX
- 2:39Speaker 1: of China. I guess CXMT is now surpassed ten Cent
- 2:44Speaker 1: in marketcap. This is just two weeks after it's listening.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Tencent's been on the market for years and has been growing,
- 2:50Speaker 1: and now it's becoming the most valuable company across all
- 2:53Speaker 1: of mainline China, Mainline China and Hong Kong.
- 2:57Speaker 2: So to my point, very significant here.
- 3:00Speaker 1: If you look on hyper liquid CXMT, this is on
- 3:04Speaker 1: the hourly, look at this dry in and you can
- 3:06Speaker 1: see very strategic times in which we get capital injection.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Very strategic. This is all I believe orchestrated by these
- 3:17Speaker 1: pump teams that are being developed around the world. In reality,
- 3:20Speaker 1: if you think about it, and if you look at
- 3:23Speaker 1: their AI structure right now, I'll kind of zone in
- 3:25Speaker 1: on this rate here.
- 3:27Speaker 2: This is of course China's Kimmy AI.
- 3:29Speaker 1: This of course scanned nearly all of Bitcoin's open source code.
- 3:33Speaker 1: This flagged eight thousand different flaws. So now you've got
- 3:36Speaker 1: Chinese AI basically outpacing what we're seeing in the US.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Or maybe we just haven't released this kind of data,
- 3:43Speaker 1: but the Bitcoin Red team now has covered five hundred
- 3:45Speaker 1: one projects, twelve hundred and eighty critical. And now you've
- 3:49Speaker 1: got Kimmy coming in and saying, no problem, hold our
- 3:51Speaker 1: beer because this is now happening with eight thousand flaws
- 3:55Speaker 1: with bitcoins. So this is a concern that I think
- 3:57Speaker 1: will continue to drive into the market in general, and
- 4:01Speaker 1: within that you're going.
- 4:03Speaker 2: To have to fight fire with fire.
- 4:04Speaker 1: So you have the FED opening the liquidity faucet and
- 4:08Speaker 1: grabbing liquidity on Alphabet, especially around the AI complex. If
- 4:14Speaker 1: you think about this too, remember we just did a
- 4:17Speaker 1: show this week where we talked about Warren Buffett coming
- 4:20Speaker 1: off the sidelines and what did he come off the
- 4:22Speaker 1: sidelines for Alphabet? So is he a private pump team
- 4:27Speaker 1: for what's happening with the FED, which is the other
- 4:29Speaker 1: pump team who's battling the pump team in China. All
- 4:33Speaker 1: of this is starting to look very eerie. And then
- 4:35Speaker 1: of course you look at the balance sheet. Right here
- 4:37Speaker 1: is this little bit right here, a little bit of
- 4:41Speaker 1: our little baby pump that's working within these markets. So
- 4:45Speaker 1: speaking of how this is happening, well, you look at
- 4:48Speaker 1: the VC money and all of the investment capital that's
- 4:51Speaker 1: moving into crypto. In the past it had been very significant.
- 4:56Speaker 1: AI is quietly taking over the crypto sector. AI st
- 5:00Speaker 1: startups right now raised in twenty twenty six five hundred
- 5:03Speaker 1: and ten billion, and crypto startups raised thirteen billion.
- 5:08Speaker 2: All right, so think about that.
- 5:10Speaker 1: That's the chart right there, guys, I can't even you
- 5:12Speaker 1: can barely even see.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Crypto on the chart.
- 5:14Speaker 1: But that's my point is it is thwarting it completely
- 5:18Speaker 1: and it is exactly why we have continued to see
- 5:20Speaker 1: a bleed of the crypto asset market flowing into this.
- 5:24Speaker 1: And further, to add further insult to injury, you've got
- 5:27Speaker 1: Apple out there with their own pump team that seems
- 5:30Speaker 1: to be pumping for China because now they're doing a
- 5:33Speaker 1: whole AI model internally with Ali Baba's support. This of
- 5:37Speaker 1: course is Apple's training its own China specific AI model.
- 5:40Speaker 1: So I'm assuming this for the Chinese products. I'm assuming
- 5:43Speaker 1: that Tim and you know, President Trump have talked about this,
- 5:46Speaker 1: but we'll see. Let's go over to another topic, and
- 5:48Speaker 1: that is China's internationalizing their goldback you on and their
- 5:53Speaker 1: payment system first time ever. And if you go down
- 5:56Speaker 1: all the way on Stern Drew, he's talking about a
- 6:00Speaker 1: very specific area here. As soon as China banned retail
- 6:04Speaker 1: paper gold market, the Chinese investors turned to tokenized gold
- 6:08Speaker 1: on blockchains. That is why we could see an attack
- 6:14Speaker 1: essentially on fiat in general, especially the US dollar as
- 6:17Speaker 1: the global reserve, because.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Here's the plan.
- 6:19Speaker 1: China is taking the yuan international first time ever, and
- 6:22Speaker 1: the preparation includes physical gold vaults clearing, and then they're
- 6:27Speaker 1: trading in Hong Kong and we're having to basically battle
- 6:31Speaker 1: against this. So you have that happening around where the
- 6:35Speaker 1: liquidity drain is coming from Ai and now you have
- 6:38Speaker 1: the pressure of gold trying to go at the dollar
- 6:41Speaker 1: full tilt. The UK's FCA is now also preparing a
- 6:45Speaker 1: regulatory framework of tokenised gold, saying wait, wait a minute,
- 6:48Speaker 1: we need a pump team. So they're in there trying
- 6:51Speaker 1: to protect London's dominance in bullion around this and this
- 6:55Speaker 1: is all pointing directly at China because of what they're doing.
- 7:00Speaker 1: I remember China has been the scenario that has the
- 7:02Speaker 1: most people out there that's probably going into tokenized gold.
- 7:04Speaker 1: So this starts to boil up, and it starts to
- 7:07Speaker 1: showcase something very interesting, and that was Tether's drop of
- 7:12Speaker 1: their news. Tether drops this just out of nowhere. Wasn't
- 7:16Speaker 1: on the bingo card. They completed the largest inaugural financial
- 7:20Speaker 1: audit in their history. And if you look further into this,
- 7:24Speaker 1: all zoom in on that part right there. KPMG the
- 7:27Speaker 1: auditor physically counted and inspected every individual gold bar held
- 7:33Speaker 1: by Tether, and you've got Paalo talking about it right here.
- 7:36Speaker 1: This is a defining moment for the stable coin industry.
- 7:39Speaker 1: And I would agree this is a pretty big step
- 7:41Speaker 1: because it is going to put a lot of pressure
- 7:44Speaker 1: on someone like an Elizabeth Warren who's always been kind
- 7:47Speaker 1: of pointing at this is where the bad guys are,
- 7:49Speaker 1: but in reality, this is out there holding assets in
- 7:53Speaker 1: a way you wouldn't expect. Let me play a clip
- 7:55Speaker 1: right here, here's Paulo talking about it.
- 7:57Speaker 3: Take a look, especially with important people like Senator Warren
- 8:02Speaker 3: going out and specifically calling out Tetror and suggesting that
- 8:07Speaker 3: auditors should not touch us with a ten football. That
- 8:10Speaker 3: creates some certain uncertainty with these auditing firms in the past.
- 8:15Speaker 3: Even just the fact that we went with the non
- 8:20Speaker 3: US firm that was in this case doing our testation
- 8:23Speaker 3: BDO was a matter of controversy. So we decided to
- 8:29Speaker 3: put ourselves through the highest of the possible scrutiny with
- 8:33Speaker 3: the KPMG US. If someone cannot admit their wrong they
- 8:37Speaker 3: will never grow up as a human being. And honestly,
- 8:39Speaker 3: I don't care. We proved ourselves many times. We proved
- 8:42Speaker 3: ourselves with doing more redemptions in a single day, in
- 8:46Speaker 3: twenty four hours and forty eight hours, that any other
- 8:49Speaker 3: financial institution did in the history of finance. We did.
- 8:53Speaker 3: We were deemed seven billion dollars in forty eight hours,
- 8:56Speaker 3: when that was ten percent of our reserves. When every
- 8:59Speaker 3: single finance institutional bank that was subject to ten percent
- 9:02Speaker 3: or more of redemptions in a short amount of time
- 9:05Speaker 3: went pelly up. And honestly, I'm happy to be keppt
- 9:08Speaker 3: on my toes.
- 9:10Speaker 1: So from listening to that clip, there the biggest uncertainty
- 9:14Speaker 1: cloud that's been hovering over all of US has essentially
- 9:17Speaker 1: been lifted, especially around stable coins. This changes the whole
- 9:20Speaker 1: perspective of what Tether is and now will be in
- 9:24Speaker 1: the US as a legal US stable coin available, So
- 9:30Speaker 1: a pretty big shift. Let's look at this right now
- 9:34Speaker 1: and think about what Tether's this major audit means, because
- 9:38Speaker 1: you kind of have to connect the dots here. Let's
- 9:41Speaker 1: take a look at Canter fitz Joe. This is a
- 9:43Speaker 1: company out there led by Howard Lutnik, who is our
- 9:46Speaker 1: Commerce secretary. This guy has a five percent stake in Tether, who,
- 9:52Speaker 1: by the way, also has one hundred and thirty eight
- 9:55Speaker 1: billion in Treasury bills that are tied to this. So
- 9:59Speaker 1: now you've got all of this connected to the Treasury,
- 10:03Speaker 1: who is now connected to the administration, with Tether now
- 10:06Speaker 1: all being improved. So this is, I think, in general,
- 10:10Speaker 1: is good. But the problem you have is this is
- 10:13Speaker 1: now going to circle back to Senator Warren. I'm sure
- 10:16Speaker 1: who is going to look at this and connect the
- 10:17Speaker 1: dots on Canter Fitzgerald, what we're dealing with Lutnik, and
- 10:21Speaker 1: then of course the whole issue starts again. But I
- 10:23Speaker 1: think the point being is we are dealing with a
- 10:26Speaker 1: liquidity movement right now globally, and it is definitely starting
- 10:31Speaker 1: to shift away from the US dollars. So we're going
- 10:33Speaker 1: to continue to follow this very very closely. If you
