- 0:08Speaker 1: you don't want to miss it. My name is Paul Barren.
- 0:09Speaker 1: Welcome back into the show. Let's get into it. And
- 0:11Speaker 1: part of this is going to be all center around
- 0:14Speaker 1: our sponsor, and that is Coinbase. Take a look right

- 0:36Speaker 1: let's get into a couple of points I want to
- 0:37Speaker 1: hit on. Yesterday was a big day for what was
- 0:40Speaker 1: going on with all these crypto bills during Crypto Week,
- 0:43Speaker 1: and that is that two hundred and ten Dems and
- 0:46Speaker 1: thirteen Republicans voted against advancing the Crypto Genius Act, the
- 0:50Speaker 1: Clarity Act.
- 0:51Speaker 2: And the CBDC Bill.
- 0:52Speaker 1: All right, so don't you know, freak out on this
- 0:54Speaker 1: if you're brand new to hearing this. This was basically
- 0:58Speaker 1: trying to get it to the move of a vote. Now,
- 1:02Speaker 1: with all that being said, mister Trump went into action
- 1:05Speaker 1: and said, wait a minute, well, let's go in here
- 1:08Speaker 1: and talk to a few people, and he says, now
- 1:10Speaker 1: eleven representatives who voted against the pro crypto regulation have
- 1:13Speaker 1: agreed to a vote and in favor of advancing the bills.
- 1:17Speaker 2: That'll be a big deal.
- 1:18Speaker 1: I put out a tweet yesterday basically saying the same
- 1:21Speaker 1: thing is that just look at it. Potus is going
- 1:24Speaker 1: to put on some pressure here. It'll happen.
- 1:27Speaker 2: Now.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Can he get some Democrats to come in on this
- 1:30Speaker 1: as well, because that's going to be a key thing
- 1:32Speaker 1: to make it through these advancement requirements to be able
- 1:36Speaker 1: to vote on this bill. And I think this is
- 1:38Speaker 1: something that as we start to watch all of this happen,
- 1:41Speaker 1: there's some interesting timing that also plays into this.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Let me play a clip, Carla.
- 1:46Speaker 3: It was a very dramatic couple hours yesterday, as you remember,
- 1:49Speaker 3: about a dozen Republicans blocked to vote to advance to
- 1:52Speaker 3: voting on the crypto bills. But there was a late
- 1:54Speaker 3: night meeting last night at the White House. Trump tweeted
- 1:57Speaker 3: out that the members are now on board, and the
- 1:59Speaker 3: House is preparing to move forward today. And so here's
- 2:02Speaker 3: what we're going to see over the next two days.
- 2:04Speaker 3: The House is set to pass three major bills that
- 2:07Speaker 3: the crypto industry has been asking for. One deals with
- 2:10Speaker 3: regulations on stable coins. That's the Genius Act we've been
- 2:13Speaker 3: talking about. The other is a bill called Clarity. Now,
- 2:15Speaker 3: that's a market structure bill, and it defines the market
- 2:18Speaker 3: for digital assets when they're a security, when they're going
- 2:21Speaker 3: to be a commodity. And then you've got a final
- 2:23Speaker 3: bill that would ban the creation of a central bank
- 2:26Speaker 3: digital currency a CBDC. Now a redo of yesterday's procedural
- 2:30Speaker 3: vote to advance to all three that's coming up here
- 2:33Speaker 3: a little afternoon. But what's important to remember is that
- 2:36Speaker 3: while there are three different bills, they're on two different tracks.
- 2:40Speaker 3: So that stable coin bill already passed the Senate, got
- 2:43Speaker 3: a good bipartisan vote. We're expecting similar in the House.
- 2:47Speaker 3: The House. At this point, it seems likely to pass
- 2:49Speaker 3: it tomorrow. Either way. We expected to pass. We expected
- 2:52Speaker 3: it could be signed into law before the end of
- 2:55Speaker 3: the week.
- 2:56Speaker 1: All right, So as you can see a lot of
- 2:57Speaker 1: activity voting today tomorrow, all of this queuing up now,
- 3:01Speaker 1: be aware that there are some strategic things that most
- 3:04Speaker 1: likely is happening behind the scenes around trying to get
- 3:07Speaker 1: a lot of these Democrats to jump into this, and
- 3:09Speaker 1: I think this is something that we need to pay
- 3:11Speaker 1: attention to, especially with eth where it is right now.
- 3:15Speaker 1: CNBC went on and we're talking about this crypto bounce.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Listen to what they had to say and then I'll comment.
- 3:21Speaker 2: Take a look.
- 3:22Speaker 4: Think with bitcoin, there was a little bit of space
- 3:24Speaker 4: for a short term sentiment driven move, so you did
- 3:27Speaker 4: see that a quick dip yesterday around two forty five,
- 3:31Speaker 4: along with the other crypto assets when we got the
- 3:33Speaker 4: news about the update from Washington. The sense that I'm
- 3:36Speaker 4: getting from talking with both investors and analysts, Frank, is
- 3:40Speaker 4: that the move was a little bit overblown, and you
- 3:42Speaker 4: did see it come back up pretty quickly before the close.
- 3:46Speaker 4: The sense I get is that this is a question
- 3:49Speaker 4: of when and not if, so as Emily you did
- 3:52Speaker 4: a really good job pointing out it would just be
- 3:53Speaker 4: a little bit more complicated to combine all three of
- 3:56Speaker 4: the bills. But there is this overwhelming, you know, confidence
- 4:00Speaker 4: in the market. I think that they will get past no.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Matter what all right, maybe this is all centering around
- 4:07Speaker 1: and you remember the taco phrase for you know, Trumpo's
- 4:10Speaker 1: chickens out. Maybe it's going to be a raco, which
- 4:14Speaker 1: is the Republicans always chicken out and actually pass these
- 4:17Speaker 1: things through. If you look at the chart on bitcoin, yeah,
- 4:19Speaker 1: sure it recussed, regressed a little bit, but completely regained
- 4:23Speaker 1: one hundred and nineteen k almost one twenty trading as
- 4:26Speaker 1: of recording. And if you look at e that's the
- 4:28Speaker 1: one that of course skyrocketed up the charts. Here, just
- 4:31Speaker 1: on the signal that some of this could go through. Now,
- 4:35Speaker 1: just be cautious on ethereum because as we start to
- 4:37Speaker 1: see the Clarity Act, maybe have.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Some not so calm waters. This will be a factor
- 4:44Speaker 2: in it.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Now.
- 4:44Speaker 1: The question is is will people continue to go in
- 4:46Speaker 1: on this because of what's happening on the institutional side.
- 4:49Speaker 1: That's the one that I'm watching right now. Retail investors
- 4:52Speaker 1: are also increasingly driving the market. Their share of single
- 4:56Speaker 1: stock trading volume reached fourteen percent. This is pretty high
- 5:00Speaker 1: if you look at all the history, this goes all
- 5:01Speaker 1: the way back to twenty eighteen. It surpasses the twelve
- 5:04Speaker 1: percent recorded during the stock market frenzy of twenty twenty
- 5:07Speaker 1: one that was a big deal. So we are at
- 5:10Speaker 1: an era right now of investors and if you look
- 5:13Speaker 1: at the potential profits that will come out of the
- 5:16Speaker 1: S and P and look for other assets risk market
- 5:19Speaker 1: could play into this be on the lookout. If you
- 5:21Speaker 1: look at just trends on Google right now, Bitcoin still
- 5:25Speaker 1: considering up a little bit, XRP also up significantly, and
- 5:30Speaker 1: then eth just now starting to come off the floor.
- 5:33Speaker 2: So it is very early for.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Ethereum in its run, maybe back to its all time high.
- 5:39Speaker 2: We'll be looking all that.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Fund managers also just added risk to the fastest pace
- 5:43Speaker 1: in history. This I think is going to continue. This
- 5:45Speaker 1: is the thing I am hearing from more and more
- 5:47Speaker 1: fund managers, more money managers, more investment advisors out there
- 5:52Speaker 1: of trying to figure out what is the best mixture
- 5:55Speaker 1: of a portfolio when it comes to digital assets. And
- 5:57Speaker 1: as things get going on both what's happened in DC,
- 6:01Speaker 1: but more importantly, what is happening around retail and institutions. Man, guys,
- 6:05Speaker 1: we are in for a very very interesting, maybe perfect storm.
- 6:09Speaker 1: So watch how these markets start to respond to this.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Another thing right here, Presidents Trump is testing to see
- 6:16Speaker 1: how the market would react to firing Chair Pal. I
- 6:20Speaker 1: don't know if this is going to happen. I think
- 6:22Speaker 1: it's still a lot of posturing by the White House.
- 6:25Speaker 1: You had the Vice President coming out continuing to put pressure.
- 6:29Speaker 1: I mean, he's basically throwing out all of his generals
- 6:32Speaker 1: and trying to get more pressure on it. But let's
- 6:34Speaker 1: just be honest. There is a political motive here. I
- 6:37Speaker 1: believe that's happening from the Fed. We cannot see a
- 6:40Speaker 1: fifty basis points cut prior to an election and then
- 6:44Speaker 1: see the kind of improvement that we've seen, not only
- 6:46Speaker 1: the economy. Now remember too that the economy is driven
- 6:50Speaker 1: off of regular Americans, not just the stock market reaching
- 6:53Speaker 1: an all time high. I think we need businesses to
- 6:56Speaker 1: get back to hiring, and we need people get back
- 6:59Speaker 1: getting back to buying. We got car sales down, You've
- 7:02Speaker 1: got issues with real estate right now. The FED rate
- 7:04Speaker 1: will affect that more so than anything. So that's what
- 7:08Speaker 1: we need to move forward. Now, will the Fed cut
- 7:13Speaker 1: listen to this.
- 7:14Speaker 5: We're somewhere in the third or beginning of the fourth
- 7:18Speaker 5: quarter of this game. So far, inflation hasn't picked up
- 7:24Speaker 5: because of tariffs in any material way. That's the good news.
- 7:29Speaker 5: But we can't declare the game over yet, and that's
- 7:32Speaker 5: why it's hesitation to say the all clear on inflation
- 7:36Speaker 5: is we don't know yet where tariffs are going to settle,
- 7:40Speaker 5: and we don't know yet what happens when inventories are
- 7:42Speaker 5: totally one down and companies have to make really difficult
- 7:46Speaker 5: decisions about price pass through or margin compression.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Right, we don't know yet.
- 7:53Speaker 2: But what we do know is that for the last
- 7:55Speaker 2: few months it hasn't really materialized in a way that
- 7:58Speaker 2: the FED was worried that it would. What are they
- 8:00Speaker 2: waiting for?
- 8:02Speaker 5: So what they are waiting for are two things. One
- 8:06Speaker 5: is that one clearer evidence of weakening in the label market,
- 8:11Speaker 5: and the second thing is I think they are hesitant
- 8:14Speaker 5: to move given the amount of political pressure. I think
- 8:18Speaker 5: they should be cutting this month, but I don't expect
- 8:21Speaker 5: them to cut this month, all.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Right, So there you heard it from Muhammad. They should
- 8:25Speaker 1: be cutting this month, but not expecting.
- 8:27Speaker 2: It in July.
- 8:29Speaker 1: That is what I originally thought and felt like we
- 8:32Speaker 1: would see, mainly because of the pressure that the market
- 8:35Speaker 1: is putting on chair Pal and especially after a soft
- 8:39Speaker 1: inflation report yesterday, when everybody, everybody was expecting skyrocketing inflation.
- 8:45Speaker 2: It's just not happening. I think this is a big deal.
- 8:47Speaker 1: I want to go to another clip here that kind
- 8:50Speaker 1: of breaks out bitcoin. Are we at a top signal
- 8:53Speaker 1: coming in?
- 8:53Speaker 2: Take a look.
- 8:54Speaker 3: I am a firm believer that it's going much much
- 8:57Speaker 3: higher from here. You're looking at five hundred thousand dollars
- 9:02Speaker 3: per bitcoin.
- 9:03Speaker 4: And do I agree with everything Steve's mentioned?
- 9:05Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, yeah, yes, a lot.
- 9:07Speaker 1: Basically, yes, I'm staying long.
- 9:08Speaker 2: I'm not looking to take any off the table.
- 9:10Speaker 1: I think bitcoin itself maybe close to three ish, So
- 9:13Speaker 1: bitcoin goes from one twenty to maybe three sixty four hundred,
- 9:16Speaker 1: so I mean, seemingly it's playing out right before our eyes.
- 9:19Speaker 2: It's like, I'm long coinbase.
- 9:20Speaker 3: It's hard for me to justify the valuation.
- 9:22Speaker 1: This would not be happening if the markets were not
- 9:24Speaker 1: at all time highs.
- 9:25Speaker 3: Let's be clear.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Okay, with that point of that clip, a lot of
- 9:28Speaker 1: these analysts now saying, oh, yeah, the market's just absolutely
- 9:31Speaker 1: blowing up. And I think the key here, remember when
- 9:34Speaker 1: you look at risk markets, and if you guys are
- 9:35Speaker 1: watching our show, you're watching a crypto Finance Show and
- 9:40Speaker 1: also the crypto tech And if you look at where
- 9:43Speaker 1: we are right now, sixty eight slightly down, and again
- 9:45Speaker 1: I think this is market that is lagging sentiment because
- 9:48Speaker 1: it was up seventy just day before yesterday after the
- 9:50Speaker 1: situation that was happening in DC. All of this was
- 9:53Speaker 1: also prior to ETH breaking out over thirty two hundred,
- 9:56Speaker 1: So there's a lot of things that are working right now.
- 9:59Speaker 1: Key here, guys, is we are about to see maybe
- 10:02Speaker 1: a run that could cause the all coin season to
- 10:06Speaker 1: actually occur. ETH is now on something that they are
- 10:10Speaker 1: framing as maybe a new theme for Wall Street, because
- 10:14Speaker 1: Wall Street is all into these themes, and this is
- 10:16Speaker 1: e THEOEUM hitting on what they call the trustwere era.
- 10:20Speaker 1: This could push ETH up to as high as sixteen grand.
- 10:24Speaker 1: A couple of points within this, ETH is evolved beyond
- 10:27Speaker 1: a smart contract platform into a foundational layer for verifiable
- 10:31Speaker 1: programmalled trust in the financial system. This is something that
- 10:35Speaker 1: I think this was well played in the sense of
- 10:38Speaker 1: how consensus is trying to push this out because it
- 10:40Speaker 1: starts to put a new wrapper on ETH and the
- 10:43Speaker 1: rapper is security and if one thing is more important
- 10:46Speaker 1: to the financial system and Wall Street than anything, it
- 10:50Speaker 1: is security, and I think that's something that we could
- 10:52Speaker 1: be starting to see. Consensus calls this trustwear.
- 10:55Speaker 2: I love the term.
- 10:57Speaker 1: And if this is in fact the case, we will
- 10:59Speaker 1: see some movement here on eth. If you look at
- 11:01Speaker 1: the bull case on ethereum. We've talked about this before,
- 11:06Speaker 1: is that maybe people are underestimating really what could happen
- 11:09Speaker 1: with ethereum.
- 11:10Speaker 2: And remember everybody, everybody's.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Been sleeping on ethereum except for a handful of companies
- 11:17Speaker 1: that are starting to understand what that is. Now that
- 11:20Speaker 1: handful of companies, if I go over here and just
- 11:22Speaker 1: rank them by what they're holding in the ETH reserve,
- 11:26Speaker 1: strategic eth reserves, these are basically companies that are publicly
- 11:29Speaker 1: traded that are putting ETH on their portfolio, and maybe
- 11:33Speaker 1: they're integrating other tools that would be revenue generating like btcs.
- 11:37Speaker 2: I'll talk about that in a second.
- 11:38Speaker 1: Sharpling gaming though of course absolutely killing it right here,
- 11:41Speaker 1: adding more ethereum going into the number one slot. And
- 11:45Speaker 1: if you look at this via market nav right there,
- 11:49Speaker 1: and I want to go in, let me zoom out
- 11:50Speaker 1: on this for you guys, so you can kind of
- 11:52Speaker 1: see ethereum foundation right there of Coinbase, etc. This is
- 11:55Speaker 1: against their m NAV. If you go down and look
- 11:57Speaker 1: at some of these companies, one of the one that
- 12:00Speaker 1: we're watching is this one right here at one point
- 12:03Speaker 1: two to one m NAV, and that's BTCS. We had
- 12:05Speaker 1: the guy on the show not too long ago, and
- 12:08Speaker 1: there's a lot go back and watch that episode with
- 12:10Speaker 1: Charles because it was a reveal of what their strategy was.
- 12:14Speaker 1: It just not about buying EATH. It's about building an
- 12:17Speaker 1: ecosystem that is a revenue generator as well as holding
- 12:20Speaker 1: and buying EATH. So a different kind of situation that
- 12:23Speaker 1: is brewing right now around these companies. If you look
- 12:26Speaker 1: at the charts real quickly, let me kind of jump
- 12:28Speaker 1: into these real quick. Let's go to master there, of course,
- 12:31Speaker 1: is micro strategy still continuing up the chart trading what
- 12:34Speaker 1: looks to be at four point fifty right now, BM
- 12:37Speaker 1: and R. This, of course is Tom Lee probably going
- 12:39Speaker 1: to get a break with Peter Tiele putting some cash
- 12:42Speaker 1: into this company. Then you've got Joseph Lubin's ESPET starting
- 12:45Speaker 1: to break out right here, and then here's BTCS after
- 12:49Speaker 1: a big bounce after validating their m NAV a little
- 12:52Speaker 1: bit more effectively, and also the commitment to go out
- 12:55Speaker 1: and get more Ethereum, so you can kind of see
- 12:58Speaker 1: all this brewing in to something and s BET is
- 13:00Speaker 1: doing a fantastic job of just trolling, which I think
- 13:03Speaker 1: is the way to go because they're simply saying, hey,
- 13:07Speaker 1: just in the forty million worth of eight shorts liquidated.
- 13:11Speaker 1: We talked about this the other day, the shorts We're
- 13:13Speaker 1: going to get toasted, and that in fact happened. I
- 13:17Speaker 1: love that office explanation. Ethereum over three k. The breakout
- 13:21Speaker 1: is in Root the best eth beta play. This was
- 13:23Speaker 1: a poll that we put up just a little bit
- 13:24Speaker 1: of go if you guys aren't following us on Twitter,
- 13:26Speaker 1: go out there right now. It's Paul Baron TV. That's
- 13:29Speaker 1: our Twitter account that the studio runs, and then me
- 13:31Speaker 1: just at Paul Baron. But right now Treasury and these
- 13:35Speaker 1: are Treasury companies. That's an example of BM and R
- 13:37Speaker 1: and ASPET thirty one percent right now leading the pole,
- 13:41Speaker 1: which is kind of interesting as a beta play for Ethereum.
- 13:44Speaker 2: So if you are.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Missing the eight play because it's over three k, now
- 13:47Speaker 1: and it is probably going to race up to around
- 13:49Speaker 1: thirty four hundred before we get a pullback.
- 13:51Speaker 2: Is there some other options out here? Guys?
- 13:54Speaker 1: Let me know in the comments about how you're playing
- 13:56Speaker 1: this ETH run. Another thing that's happening right now is
- 14:00Speaker 1: Coinbase starting to get a little bit of fomo after
- 14:02Speaker 1: robin Hood's successful cans announcements. But right now the doors
- 14:06Speaker 1: are closed. But tomorrow everything changes. This of course is
- 14:09Speaker 1: going to be Base, and it's going to be a
- 14:11Speaker 1: lot of announcements coming out of Coinbase, and I think
- 14:13Speaker 1: we are going to see some pretty big deals happening
- 14:16Speaker 1: on this announcement. I question whether or not it will
- 14:20Speaker 1: have perfect timing with these bills and everything kind of
- 14:23Speaker 1: sucking up a lot of the wind in terms of
- 14:26Speaker 1: the press right now, so hopefully it does for Coinbase
- 14:30Speaker 1: to go forward. Another thing, PayPal's pyusd now live on Arbitram.
- 14:34Speaker 1: We talked about arbitram before, another great beta play on ETH.
- 14:38Speaker 1: Remember Arbitram is going to be the platform that Robinhood
- 14:41Speaker 1: is using for tokenizing stocks. You kind of get the
- 14:43Speaker 1: picture of this is coming and we're going to see
- 14:45Speaker 1: more of this. It is becoming the go to platform
- 14:48Speaker 1: for stable coin expansion. Watch that statement right there, because
- 14:53Speaker 1: that could be big for Arbitram last up. Of course,
- 14:58Speaker 1: black Hole is out there launching now and they're getting
- 15:01Speaker 1: into a lot more integration, and of course we're going
- 15:04Speaker 1: to try to get Elio on the show here pretty soon.
- 15:06Speaker 1: But black Hole obviously going to be a dex within
- 15:09Speaker 1: the Avalanche ecosystem, could move Avalanche finally off the floor.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Avalanche starting to move off the floor a little bit off.
- 15:16Speaker 1: It's low right here, and that right now holding at
- 15:20Speaker 1: a pretty good position at about thirty five percent up,
- 15:23Speaker 1: trading at around twenty two dollars, so pretty good for Avalanche.
- 15:26Speaker 1: But right now everything seems to be pumping when you
- 15:29Speaker 1: look at the charts, especially behind the narrative of what
- 15:32Speaker 1: eth is doing. The other thing that, of course we
- 15:35Speaker 1: did and talked about yesterday with Joe with the guys
- 15:38Speaker 1: over Joe McCann.
- 15:40Speaker 2: This was kind of interesting. We were kind of playing
- 15:41Speaker 2: with this headline there.
- 15:42Speaker 1: But the point was is there was some potential meme
- 15:46Speaker 1: potential here for BONC. It's just as simple as they say.
- 15:51Speaker 1: And of course if you look at the box chart
- 15:52Speaker 1: right there an absolute explosion yesterday. So if you're not
