- 0:46Speaker 1: a discount. All right, let's go into a couple of
- 0:48Speaker 1: things that are hitting right now. The Iranians are now
- 0:51Speaker 1: coming in and saying that the Foreign Minister says Iren
- 0:53Speaker 1: is ready to consider dis diplomacy. This could be a
- 0:56Speaker 1: little bit of a reprieve here in the market watch
- 0:58Speaker 1: out for this weekend and see some volatile nature of that.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Along with that news, also breaking is Bloomberg raising approval
- 1:06Speaker 1: odds for a spot ETF for both XRP doshcoin as
- 1:10Speaker 1: well as Cardono to ninety percent. This could be a
- 1:14Speaker 1: good sign, guys, as we start to come out of this,
- 1:16Speaker 1: and especially if we get out of these macro pressures.
- 1:19Speaker 1: The only thing we need is a FED rate cut,
- 1:22Speaker 1: and from what I'm hearing, July might be the date.
- 1:24Speaker 1: But while all that's going on, two hundred mil liquidated
- 1:27Speaker 1: from crypto market in the past sixty minutes. You can
- 1:30Speaker 1: kind of see the market right there as bitcoin trading
- 1:32Speaker 1: around one oh three. Almost everything read but thanks for
- 1:35Speaker 1: starting to move around a little bit. We'll see how
- 1:37Speaker 1: this plays out over the weekend. Let me know in
- 1:39Speaker 1: the comments if you are bullish for the weekend or
- 1:42Speaker 1: are you barished? Just dropping some notes down below. By
- 1:45Speaker 1: the way, if you're not subscribed, get in and do
- 1:47Speaker 1: it right now. We're about to hit one point five million.
- 1:50Speaker 1: You guys could be part of that one point five
- 1:52Speaker 1: million pbn family. US dark market is now outperforming has
- 1:57Speaker 1: been historic if you look at the ratio between emerging
- 2:00Speaker 1: performance and equities, which has fallen to its lowest in
- 2:03Speaker 1: the last fifty five It's about a one to one
- 2:05Speaker 1: deviation below its historic mean. But the point is is
- 2:08Speaker 1: that if you look at the dot com bubble, many
- 2:11Speaker 1: people would look at so much of the companies that
- 2:14Speaker 1: happened in that era. Really we're performing quite differently. And
- 2:18Speaker 1: of course this period happened on the S and P
- 2:20Speaker 1: return almost five hundred and sixty two percent. Those were
- 2:23Speaker 1: all emerging markets, and I think that might be where
- 2:26Speaker 1: we are going right now. Other things that you got
- 2:29Speaker 1: to look at as Coinbase, of course obtains regulatory license
- 2:32Speaker 1: to offer crypto services across Europe. This is going to
- 2:35Speaker 1: expand more adoption and especially now I think they had
- 2:38Speaker 1: twenty seven countries getting the MECA license to open that up.
- 2:41Speaker 1: That'll be new for coinbase, and of course that means
- 2:45Speaker 1: more adoption globally for people who've never been in crypto
- 2:48Speaker 1: in general, that helps everybody's bags for sure. I want
- 2:51Speaker 1: to go to a clip here because this clip explains
- 2:54Speaker 1: a little bit of why we're seeing Circle stock perform
- 2:58Speaker 1: so well while the market not necessarily the same. Take
- 3:01Speaker 1: a look, do you.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Think that Coinbase is becoming kind of just viewed more
- 3:06Speaker 2: traditionally because it's it's an equity essentially.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, I think if you're an equity investor and
- 3:12Speaker 3: you don't want to have exposure to a btct AUP,
- 3:15Speaker 3: that's one expression. But I was surprised actually of Point
- 3:18Speaker 3: Circles sort of IPO debut, to be honest, right, I
- 3:21Speaker 3: thought it was probably a bit rich. Fifty percent of
- 3:23Speaker 3: the revenue of interest revenue that comes from Circle's business
- 3:28Speaker 3: actually has paid out to coinbase. But I wouldn't be
- 3:30Speaker 3: surprised if a big, big institution like a GP Morgan,
- 3:33Speaker 3: et cetera was able to take sort of that market
- 3:35Speaker 3: share from this from Circle, right.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Does give more credence in terms of the path and
- 3:42Speaker 2: trajectory for say ethereum.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Absolutely all right, So points they're getting at is that
- 3:51Speaker 1: mainstream traditional finance has discovered crypto through the use of Circle.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Circle right now ran from sixty four to two hundred,
- 4:01Speaker 1: and it's still pumping right now above almost two fifty.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Right now, Circle isn't just USDC. They monetize trust and yield.
- 4:07Speaker 1: That's a big deal. We get the Genius Act passing
- 4:10Speaker 1: that is a huge thing. I anticipate though, that this
- 4:13Speaker 1: is going to have a follow on effect on the
- 4:15Speaker 1: rest of the crypto market. For sure, this is new
- 4:18Speaker 1: money coming into crypto, but in through a traditional finance way.
- 4:22Speaker 1: So be on the lookout because this is I think
- 4:25Speaker 1: starting to move some things around. The other thing you
- 4:27Speaker 1: got to look at is treasuries are sitting on the blockchain. Rallies.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Rails just now hit six point six billion. This is
- 4:34Speaker 1: up nine hundred and twenty percent on year over year.
- 4:36Speaker 1: This is just a fraction of where this is going.
- 4:40Speaker 1: So think about that twenty seven trillion in the treasury
- 4:43Speaker 1: market right now that could be that's still just point
- 4:46Speaker 1: zero two percent, simply meaning guys more and more coming
- 4:50Speaker 1: out of the blockchain. That increases fees, That increases profits
- 4:53Speaker 1: for a lot of these chains, which of course, as
- 4:55Speaker 1: you know, increases yields and token price. So beyond the
- 4:58Speaker 1: look of that. Speaking of that, here's Tom Lee, one
- 5:02Speaker 1: of our favorite analysts, talking about some things that are
- 5:04Speaker 1: happening within the eth ecosystem. He's forecasting being bessin a
- 5:09Speaker 1: three point seven trillion, which is fifteen x larger than
- 5:12Speaker 1: the current stable coin. Right think about how much stablecoin
- 5:15Speaker 1: market cap. We have three point seven trillion. Is where
- 5:18Speaker 1: Besin is pushing. I still think this is under where
- 5:21Speaker 1: this is potentially going around stable coins. If that is
- 5:25Speaker 1: the case, USDC is still representing about twenty five to
- 5:28Speaker 1: thirty percent of Ethereum's network fees today. That's circle. We'll
- 5:32Speaker 1: talk about that in a second. The only way up,
- 5:34Speaker 1: guys is ETH and ETH is still twenty five hundred
- 5:38Speaker 1: bucks a token, So it's one of the best buys
- 5:40Speaker 1: out there and definitely over sold when you look at
- 5:43Speaker 1: the markets overall. Now where is this market soaking up from? Well,
- 5:48Speaker 1: let me go to a headline right here. This is
- 5:50Speaker 1: card issuers, you know them, Visa, MasterCard, American Express. They
- 5:55Speaker 1: and their stocks have started to plunge. And the reason
- 5:58Speaker 1: is because we've seen the stable cooin bill get past.
- 6:00Speaker 1: People are starting to realize, wait a minute, there could
- 6:02Speaker 1: be another settlement layer coming in called crypto and blockchain.
- 6:07Speaker 1: That's what we're talking about. And if you look at
- 6:09Speaker 1: the stock prices right here, just to give you an example,
- 6:13Speaker 1: I'll zoom in on this right here, Visa stock four
- 6:16Speaker 1: percent down, MasterCard stock three point four percent, now, American
- 6:20Speaker 1: Express holding their own at one point seven mainly because
- 6:22Speaker 1: they're going after a little bit more of a younger audience.
- 6:25Speaker 1: And I think that is the thing you got to
- 6:27Speaker 1: look at, is right there. Remember Amex partnered with coinbase
- 6:31Speaker 1: on their new Coinbase one product and their credit card
- 6:34Speaker 1: which is going to be Bitcoin Yield. So interesting things
- 6:37Speaker 1: playing into this right now when you look at where
- 6:41Speaker 1: money is shifting into crypto almost in a secondary way
- 6:46Speaker 1: because it's coming through Circle, Coinbase, micro Strategy, etc. We'll
- 6:51Speaker 1: show you some charts here in a second to get
- 6:53Speaker 1: into that. Here is CNBC breaking down how Visa and
- 6:57Speaker 1: MasterCard are taking a hit. Take a look.
- 7:00Speaker 4: It's actually been really good for eth ETFs, which have
- 7:02Speaker 4: come roaring back from the dead this month. A lot
- 7:04Speaker 4: of these stablequins run on ethereum. You had a glimpse
- 7:06Speaker 4: of dot in coin basis partnership with Shopify announced last week.
- 7:09Speaker 4: And so if we are in this new age of
- 7:11Speaker 4: stable coin payments, that could eat into revenue at the
- 7:13Speaker 4: card network. So someone Wall Street saying that fear may
- 7:16Speaker 4: be premature, but nevertheless Scott Visa and MasterCard taking a
- 7:20Speaker 4: hit for now an USDC issued of course by Circle,
- 7:23Speaker 4: who shares our rocketing.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Up all right, So as you can see, that's the
- 7:27Speaker 1: issue right now, Circle continuing to push. I wonder if
- 7:31Speaker 1: maybe Circle is still undervalued in comparison. Think about this
- 7:37Speaker 1: when you look at three point seven trillion coming into
- 7:39Speaker 1: the stable coin market, and I think that's under what
- 7:42Speaker 1: this will be Circle continuing to yes, pay fees to
- 7:45Speaker 1: coin bess, but at some point there is going to
- 7:48Speaker 1: be a critical mass adoption curve that will push them
- 7:53Speaker 1: into the stratosphere, and that will be the point in
- 7:56Speaker 1: which we'll start to see mainstream across all sectors I
- 7:59Speaker 1: think and crypto. Imagine if you bought Circle pre ipo
- 8:04Speaker 1: because there were some investment opportunities out there. Here's a
- 8:06Speaker 1: clip to break it down.
- 8:07Speaker 3: I knew there would be regulatory challenges for sure.
- 8:10Speaker 4: In twenty thirteen.
- 8:12Speaker 3: Always was a huge risk. It's always a big risk
- 8:16Speaker 3: even as we speak today. Cost basis on Circle twenty
- 8:19Speaker 3: seven cents. Twenty seven cents not bad.
- 8:22Speaker 4: Does it still offer value for investors who weren't as
- 8:25Speaker 4: lucky as you to get in so early.
- 8:26Speaker 3: I'll look backwards. There's certain topics I'll stay away from.
- 8:31Speaker 3: Of course, how this plays out, we shall see.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Well, you got to look at it this way, guys.
- 8:39Speaker 1: You could go back and look at Amazon, you could
- 8:41Speaker 1: look at Tasla, any of the innovators in their category.
- 8:44Speaker 1: And I think, you know, Circle Release right now is
- 8:46Speaker 1: one of the few that's out there that is innovating
- 8:49Speaker 1: this sector. Do they get soaked up by other financial
- 8:52Speaker 1: institutions as we continue to see this growth chart, I
- 8:55Speaker 1: think is the key. Kathy Wood, of course, went in
- 8:57Speaker 1: and took a little bit of her profit fifty one
- 8:59Speaker 1: p seven million worth of Circle, which was low in
- 9:03Speaker 1: comparison when you think about the shares, especially of where
- 9:06Speaker 1: they are further into this. It just shows you a
- 9:09Speaker 1: little bit of where she's going with Circle after its
- 9:12Speaker 1: latest moves, so doesn't necessarily get the full amount. But
- 9:15Speaker 1: we're not quite yet on the iPhone moment when developers
- 9:18Speaker 1: everywhere kind of understand where this is going. And I agree,
- 9:21Speaker 1: I think this is still very early in the market,
- 9:24Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people that are maybe
- 9:26Speaker 1: just discovering crypto for the first time really understand what
- 9:28Speaker 1: a table coin is. And I talk to people all
- 9:31Speaker 1: the time about this very issue. What's interesting to me
- 9:35Speaker 1: is I have a lot of traditional finance friends that
- 9:37Speaker 1: are money managers, etc. And Circle was one of the
- 9:40Speaker 1: calls that I got, you know, over the last few weeks,
- 9:44Speaker 1: is this a play? Is this a play? And I said, well,
- 9:46Speaker 1: if you believe in Ethereum, probably it's a good traditional
- 9:48Speaker 1: finance model. And look at it now. I think a
- 9:51Speaker 1: lot of these trad fi managers are out there now
- 9:55Speaker 1: setting back, going well, there is going to be another
- 9:57Speaker 1: wave here and it's most likely to be around Ethereum.
- 10:00Speaker 1: So pay attention. A lot of unlocks getting ready to
- 10:03Speaker 1: come in. Looking at Kathy Wood's portfolio, we're going to
- 10:08Speaker 1: rebalance this for her real quick. So she's holding Tesla
- 10:10Speaker 1: at the number one slot. I think we should move
- 10:13Speaker 1: Pallenteer right up there to number one. We'll hold Coinbase
- 10:17Speaker 1: at number two for now. Let's move robin Hood into
- 10:21Speaker 1: the number three, and let's move Circle into number four.
- 10:24Speaker 1: That would be my top four right there, Palenteer, Coinbase,
- 10:28Speaker 1: I'd go with Robinhood and then Circle. Those are that's
- 10:32Speaker 1: your rebalance, Kathy. So no problems there. You go that
- 10:36Speaker 1: playing out over the next two to three years is
- 10:38Speaker 1: going to be a big bet going forward. Other things
- 10:41Speaker 1: you got to look at is Sharplink gaming. This is
- 10:42Speaker 1: one of the edgier plays. It has been getting beat
- 10:46Speaker 1: down by a lot of the shorts now Sharplink Gaming
- 10:49Speaker 1: Joseph Lubin That of course is pretty much ethereum when
- 10:54Speaker 1: you think about it. The play on sharp Link Gaming
- 10:57Speaker 1: is that they're investing in ethereum, so think micro strategy,
- 11:00Speaker 1: they're investing in bitcoin. If this is the early stage
- 11:03Speaker 1: for sharplingk gaming, could this be one of those breakouts
- 11:06Speaker 1: once that we exhaust the shorts. Beyond the lookout for
- 11:09Speaker 1: that one, others that you got to watch out that
- 11:11Speaker 1: are coming on too Nasdaq right now. Guess who Pudgie
- 11:13Speaker 1: Penguin coming this way. One of the best branding products
- 11:16Speaker 1: out there. I don't know how this is going to
- 11:19Speaker 1: play out, but it could be a surprise on Wall Street.
- 11:22Speaker 1: So pay attention to this one as well. If you
- 11:25Speaker 1: don't know much about Pudgy Penguin's we've got a few
- 11:27Speaker 1: videos on it. You can search it down in our
- 11:30Speaker 1: channel and you'll see a little bit more. But basically,
- 11:32Speaker 1: it was an NFT that became a physical They did
- 11:34Speaker 1: a deal with Walmart, became a boom, started to build
- 11:38Speaker 1: up products, apps, ecosystems, and a huge brand, and I
- 11:42Speaker 1: think they could be one of the next ones to
- 11:45Speaker 1: go into. Now Robinhood is on the verge of getting
- 11:50Speaker 1: into token is securities, and one of the things everybody's
- 11:52Speaker 1: been asking is what blockchain will they choose to go
- 11:56Speaker 1: in this direction? Well, many people kind of looking at
- 11:59Speaker 1: ether and and it's interesting and Solana because Solana was
- 12:02Speaker 1: looked at as well. And when you look at it,
- 12:04Speaker 1: because Arbitrum being a layer two, if that is the one,
- 12:09Speaker 1: are they maybe forecasting a little bit here because they're
- 12:12Speaker 1: heading over to ecc in cans. So interesting if you're
- 12:16Speaker 1: going to choose Slona, unless you're doing it just to
- 12:18Speaker 1: do a headfake, I don't know. But I'm watching this
- 12:20Speaker 1: one close because it will have an effect on the
- 12:23Speaker 1: layer twos, but also the Ethereum ecosystem once Robinhood gets
- 12:27Speaker 1: to get into that. Also think about this. This is
- 12:30Speaker 1: another area that is very bullish. When you look at
- 12:34Speaker 1: Fidelity only. Robinhood just became one of the bigger ones.
- 12:37Speaker 1: They're paying five percent interest on cash, three percent back
- 12:40Speaker 1: on a credit card if you can get it, by
- 12:42Speaker 1: the way, you have to go on a list, so
- 12:44Speaker 1: that's later in the year, three percent match on IRA,
- 12:46Speaker 1: three percent on IRA, four ones and a one percent
- 12:49Speaker 1: match on deposits. Plus they're doing compounding on this, so
- 12:52Speaker 1: when you're gaining these and you can go back into
- 12:55Speaker 1: your to pot. This is the new finance model and
- 12:58Speaker 1: it is one that I think will attract a ridiculous
- 13:01Speaker 1: amount of new users. This is another stock that I
- 13:05Speaker 1: still think is going to be absolutely fantastic. Let's take
- 13:09Speaker 1: a look at that. By the way, we'll go with
- 13:11Speaker 1: Circle right now on the daily this is where we're
- 13:14Speaker 1: talking about. Right now, Circle continuing to fly up the
- 13:18Speaker 1: chart at two thirty nine. Can it hold this? Guys?
- 13:22Speaker 1: Do you feel like Circle is still undervalued when you
- 13:24Speaker 1: look at the amount of opportunity here for stable coins?
- 13:29Speaker 1: Let me know in the comments if you compare that
- 13:31Speaker 1: to what's going on with micro Strategy, which has been
- 13:34Speaker 1: pretty much sideways for quite a while here, really all
- 13:38Speaker 1: the way back into May end of last May, sliding sideways.
- 13:42Speaker 1: Maybe are we in the setup for a bitcoin run?
- 13:46Speaker 1: People looking at that? And then of course Robinhood also
- 13:49Speaker 1: moving up now at almost eighty bucks a share, which
- 13:52Speaker 1: is another one that I think is going to continue. Remember,
- 13:53Speaker 1: Robinhood has a lot of announcements. They're trying to become
- 13:56Speaker 1: a bank they're going to drop their big credit card.
- 13:58Speaker 1: All that will continue to push the robinhood stock. I
- 14:02Speaker 1: think up there's Coinbase, of course, absolutely flying on Circle,
- 14:06Speaker 1: and I think this will continue because a lot of
- 14:08Speaker 1: people are still looking at well, if it's not Circle,
- 14:10Speaker 1: who else is potentially out there? And if you kind
- 14:13Speaker 1: of zoom out, just to go down here on the
- 14:16Speaker 1: weekly and let's run back aways. This is where coinbase
- 14:20Speaker 1: has been if you go all the way back to
- 14:22Speaker 1: its original offering around three seventy six. This is getting
- 14:25Speaker 1: back into the zone of where it's ipo started to move.
- 14:29Speaker 1: So be on the lookout for those guys. I think
- 14:31Speaker 1: we're in a new era of crypto and blockchain related trades.
- 14:37Speaker 1: One other thing, when you kind of compare industries and
- 14:40Speaker 1: where that historical could go. If you are an investor
- 14:44Speaker 1: in tech or an investor and you say blockchain, now
- 14:46Speaker 1: it's going to be one of the things, just like
- 14:48Speaker 1: AI or any other category. You could even go back
- 14:50Speaker 1: and compare this. I wouldn't compare it to Amazon, but
- 14:53Speaker 1: if you look at Amazon's history, there was a time
- 14:56Speaker 1: long time ago when Amazon absolutely was only up to
- 15:00Speaker 1: the right and of course you did have an arrow
- 15:02Speaker 1: where there was an absolute pullback. Sure, But the point is,
- 15:06Speaker 1: if you don't necessarily trust yourself in the crypto market,
- 15:09Speaker 1: meaning buying tokens and dealing with DEXes and decentralized exchanges
- 15:13Speaker 1: or doing anything in terms of trades in that, and
- 15:16Speaker 1: you're just comfortable with regular stock trades, maybe blockchain and
- 15:21Speaker 1: a lot of these companies could fall into your portfolio.
- 15:23Speaker 1: So take a look. Not investment advice, but it's something
- 15:26Speaker 1: if you believe in tech, in the future of where
- 15:29Speaker 1: monetary systems are going, maybe this is a play for you.
- 15:32Speaker 1: If you're not in the diamond circle, get in on that.
- 15:33Speaker 1: It's our own special group, and of course we'll leave
- 15:36Speaker 1: a link down below catch me on Twitter x at
- 15:38Speaker 1: Paul Barrett. We'll catch you next time right here on
- 15:40Speaker 1: tech Path
