Now you can track your NFTStrategies portfolio directly here nftstrategy.fun/portfolio thanks to @token_works devs. I hold only $PUDGYSTR with a 256% conviction that it will try to flip $PNKSTR.

$BIRBSTR is at $8.6M $DICKSTR is at $5.1M There is no alternative for $PUDGYSTR to be repriced somewhere to $15M.

@0xpudgystr Ok i figured it out. Selling works on the official site but for whatever reason not on uniswap. Now buying moar and diamondhanding this gem.

@0xpudgystr I just bought $pudgystr but cant sell into the pool uniswap, what is the reason? I dont have this issue with apestr.

You can say I’m a crazy penguin, but among all NFTStrategies only $PUDGYSTR has a chance to flip $PNKSTR in terms of market cap

@0xpudgystr What is that supposed to mean? Dont you think it might be valuable to explain why this isnt a honeypot? Because your reply certainly makes it look like it is.

@CryptoCalibur It’s a destiny

[4/4] Nota Bene: A reversal of the previous week’s performance saw BTC trading up around 4% WoW. Interestingly, despite a spate of large-scale BTC purchase/treasury announcements (Strategy, Metaplanet, Twenty One Capital et al), US BTC ETFs saw $131M in outflows while US ETH ETFs continued their strong run amassing $281M worth of inflows over the week. Globally, digital asset investment products saw $224M in inflows, the US led with $175M of total inflows followed by Germany with $47.8M & Switzerland with $15.7M. BTC saw a second consecutive week of modest outflows totalling $56.5M while ETH saw $296.4M in total inflows. The lack of demand for BTC showcased policy uncertainty keeping institutional investors on the sidelines. However, the significantly bullish news was Circle going public in a 25x oversubscribed IPO which led to the stock rallying to over 300% the listed price. Circle’s IPO & 1st day of trading highlighted both institutional & retail interest in the trending stablecoin sector narrative. In terms of what's ahead, the US inflation report always has the potential to cause market moves (despite 2 cool readings over the past 2 months) while any US trade negotiation related announcements may also lead to sudden market moves.

[4/4] Nota Bene: In line with last week's prediction, the past 7 days saw mostly sideways price action with BTC currently trading 0.8% up at time of writing. The US inflation rating came in softer than expected, especially considering economists had expected tariff related increases that didn't show in this month's CPI reading of 2.3% YoY & 0.2% MoM. There was another strong week of US ETF flows as BTC ETFs drew in $608M while ETH ETFs amassed $41M of inflows. Globally, digital asset investment product inflows hit $785M with BTC seeing 557M worth of inflows while ETH saw $205M in inflows, driven by the Pectra upgrade & leadership changes. Regionally, there were significant inflows in the US ($608M) & Germany ($86.3M) while Sweden, Canada, & Brazil saw outflows. Looking forward as major equity indices rallied considerably last week & there are no obvious near-term crypto price catalysts, another week of consolidation looks most likely.

[4/4] Nota Bene: Global markets generally had a positive week as BTC tread water price-wise & closed the week neutral WoW despite strong flows into ETFs. US BTC ETFs recorded $1.8B worth of inflows while US ETH ETFs also recorded another positive week with $108M worth of inflows. Globally, digital asset investment products recorded a third consecutive week of inflows worth $2B with BTC recording $1.8B worth of inflows while ETH saw $149M worth of inflows. Strength in both traditional & digital asset markets was partly caused by a surprisingly strong Big Tech earnings season compounded by a strong US jobs report that highlighted the relative strength of the US economy despite lingering tariff threats. Looking forward, with the Fed rate announcement in the week ahead along with the consensus being that rates will hold steady; the tone of the economic guidance given by Fed Chair could result in notable market movements soon afterwards.

[4/4] Nota Bene: Trump softening his tone on China & displaying a willingness to negotiate led to a positive week for crypto & the markets broadly. As a result, the total crypto market cap & BTC both recorded over 10% WoW gains with BTC touching $95.3k before trading at around $94k at the time of writing. ETF flows matched the bullish sentiment as US BTC ETFs generated $3.03B worth of inflows while ETH ETFs drew in a comparatively low $156M of inflows highlighting the narrative issues ETH is facing. Globally, digital asset investment products saw a total of $3.4B last week, the 3rd largest inflows on record, & the largest inflows since mid-December 2024. BTC products attracted $3.18B in inflows while ETH products saw $183M worth of inflows breaking an 8-week run of outflows. BTC specifically benefited from the macro developments & other positive news including Cantor Equity Partners’ announcement of a BTC holding company (Twenty One Capital). Interestingly, BTC promisingly moved sharply inverse to gold, a trend which could cement the digital asset’s position in a range of client portfolios if it remains constant. While tariff-related headline risks remain in the week ahead it will be worth paying attention to see if macro news such as a potentially weaker US unemployment announcement on Friday impacts prices.
