@UngaroDarcy Thanks for having me @UngaroDarcy

Neo-mercantilism, where nations place self-interest ahead of maintaining global order. It's a global thing - MAGA is not an anomaly. Why should the everyday investor care? All of this is happening when there's a digital transformation of wealth occurring. Catch the latest chat with Paul Quickenden @paulq bit.ly/4k3KeRE

Bullish news may be brewing… but the broader market is steeped in uncertainty at the moment, sharply dividing bullish and bearish investors 😏 Welcome to the Weekly Crypto Market Update: President Trump's appearance at the Digital Assets Summit in New York last week reignited market buzz, stirring a mix of rumours and excitement. This time, the sentiment leaned toward cautious optimism, tempered by whispers of a potential '1 million Bitcoin purchase' and renewed talk of 'zero capital gains tax’. The news spurred a recovery rally for the crypto markets that caused a break of the 4 month downtrend in the Bitcoin daily RSI - green shoots of hope that the bulls may be back in control 🌱 Unfortunately, the rally fizzled out fast when President Trump served up yet another big, fat and juicy 'nothing burger' 🍔 The address reconfirmed U.S. ambitions to become “a Bitcoin superpower” and “dominate crypto” and officially declared the end of Operation Chokepoint 2.0 - he also called on Congress to pass “simple, common sense rules for stablecoins and market structure” 🙌 A new report showed that active stablecoin wallets increased by 53% in one year to February 2025 - active addresses increased from 19.6 million to 30 million. Could this be the future of money? In other news, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse confirmed that the long running legal battle with the SEC is finally over; “this is it - the moment we’ve been waiting for..." But taking no chances, the market is seemingly waiting for the case to officially close 🤔 Michael Saylor has rocked the boat over in Europe this week with his prediction that ‘the Euro is going to need Bitcoin’. (Micro) Strategy now holds over 500,000 BTC and rumours are growing on social media that he wants to raise a further $100 billion to buy more! According to Bravos Research, one of the most important macro recession indicators has fallen quickly from ‘elevated’ to a much lower probability at around 20% ⬇️ The first Solana Futures ETFs launched last week - Volatility Shares Solana ETF (SOLZ) which tracks Solana futures and Volatility Shares 2X Solana ETF (SOLT) which offers leveraged exposure. 👉 In other crypto news… 🔘 GameStop is taking a page out of (Micro) Strategy’s book announcing a plan to buy Bitcoin with its corporate cash 🔘 Pakistan is set to introduce a regulatory framework aimed at legalizing cryptocurrency for use in foreign investments, signaling a major policy shift 🔘 The Bank of Korea said it has not considered creating a Bitcoin strategic reserve citing volatility and IMF guidelines as the reasons for its decision 🔘 The U.S. Treasury has lifted sanctions on Tornado Cash, a crypto mixer that the U.S. government previously said was used to launder $7 billion worth of crypto stolen by North Korean hackers 🔘 Popular memecoin launchpad Pump .fun launched a new token swaps service powered by the protocol's liquidity pools called PumpSwap And that's a wrap… until next week! 😎

#blockchainapac #policyweek

The past week in global macro and crypto markets has been another wild ride, to put it mildly! 🤪 Welcome to our weekly market recap! 👉 Top crypto news stories for the week: Since the start of the Trump administration (on 20 January), the crypto markets had erased more than $1 trillion until a surprise announcement on Truth Social sparked a furious rebound… On Sunday, President Trump confirmed that the Working Group on Digital Assets has been directed to ‘move forward’ with a US Crypto Strategic Reserve including BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, ADA and possibly more to be added 🤩 Some crypto experts are not a fan of President Trump's idea of a crypto reserve. Gemini Founder, Cameron Winklevoss, said: “Bitcoin is the only asset that meets the bar for a store of value reserve asset…” Standard Chartered Bank said that the Bitcoin Strategic reserve play puts $500k BTC back on the table 🤑 Rumours are circulating as the White House prepares to host its first Crypto Summit on Friday 7 March - will there be more news on the crypto strategic reserve, crypto capital gains taxes and/or possible new crypto legislation? Perfectly aligned with President Trump’s announcement of the Crypto Reserve, a whale went 50x long on BTC and ETH, using just $4M to create a $200M position closing out most of these trades with over $6.8M in a day. Coincidence, or something more? 😏 Hacked crypto exchange, ByBit, has now repaid Bitget’s 40,000 ETH loan and stabilised liquidity. In their attempt to trace the stolen funds they have offered a $140M bounty! The SEC is closing its investigation into OpenSea, Gemini, Consensys, Metamask Coinbase and Uniswap. Could the long awaited Ripple XRP case be next? 🤔 The SEC has also confirmed that memecoins are “collectibles” and don’t fall under securities laws, which means that they don’t have to be registered with the regulator. Any fraudulent tokens could still be subject to enforcement actions by other regulators. 👉 Other crypto news… 🔘 Bank of America CEO said they are preparing to launch their own USD-pegged crypto stablecoin 🔘 The Ethereum Foundation announced a new leadership structure, welcoming Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz Stańczak as co-Executive Directors effective March 17th 🔘 Former Binance CEO CZ believes crypto wallets should be used for daily transactions, while exchanges should serve only professional traders and liquidity providers 🔘 Uniswap has added its first native fiat off-ramps, according to an announcement on Thursday. The new tool will be powered by integrations with MoonPay, Robinhood and Transak 🔘 To fight against scams, Sen. Dick Durbin announced legislation that would institute sweeping new regulations for the nation’s crypto ATM industry And that's a wrap… until next week! 😎

@CarpeNoctom @CreativeJack what happens next

@CreativeJack e2e complete ikyk

Post about the E2E, do it. @CarpeNoctom

At this point, uncertainty’s the only certainty we’ve got 🤪 Welcome to our weekly crypto recap! Top crypto news for the week: Bybit suffered a $1.4 billion hack of its ETH and liquid staked ETH wallets. The hack is being attributed to the Lazarus group in North Korea. Unsurprisingly, Bybit then suffered a $4bn “run” as users withdrew their assets. The hack caused Bitcoin to drop by 3% and Ethereum by 7% initially, though Ethereum briefly rebounded due to Bybit's repurchase of ETH to replenish its reserves. Just as crypto markets were stabilising after the ByBit news, President Trump announced that tariffs will go ahead on Mexico and Canada next week, which sent the broad markets into a waterfall sell off and delivered a second blow to crypto. Bitcoin is the first trillion dollar asset majority owned by individual investors. The SEC has agreed to reach a settlement with Coinbase to dismiss its litigation. FTX is starting to make repayments to creditors with some $1.2bn being dispersed. The assets are valued at 2022 prices. Which sucks for BTC but is just fine if you had ETH on the platform…Crypto Twitter is taking it well. 👉 Other crypto news: 🔘 Standard Chartered Bank is saying it expects more sovereign wealth funds to buy into BTC. 🔘 State Street, a massive custodian in traditional finance, is looking to become a crypto custodian next year. 🔘 Mastercard is moving beyond experimentation in crypto, it now wants to bridge tradfi and crypto. 🔘 The ECB wants to use ledgers to help settle ‘central bank money’. 🔘 The Milei Memecoin fiasco is leading some to question if this is the end of that run as now, memes are now synonymous with ‘pump and dump’ schemes. 🔘 OpenSea reclaims leadership (71.5%) in NFT marketplace after announcement of its long awaited $SEA token. And that’s a wrap, until next week 😎

@UngaroDarcy both have a terrible reputation in our country

I'm guilty of perpetuating a word crime. Several times a day, in the context of money, I talk with people about 'risk'. For most people, the word 'risk', implies 'probability of loss'. Often, though, I'm talking about VOLATILITY (how quickly and dramatically prices can change). It's in product disclosure statements too. In the spirit of simplifying complex topics like 'Volatility', the word 'Risk' is often used instead. What's the big deal? It’s a matter of semantics, but when we (advisers, regulators, fund managers etc) try to keep investors “safe” by using the word 'risk', we might inadvertently shield them from “returns”, too. Some of the best investments come with high volatility, while some of the least volatile options can be the riskiest. Go figure! bit.ly/4ids52e

What happened in crypto this week? Read on......📗 🤔 It looks like we, the collective we, are in the ‘find out’ stage of what happens next. We’re definitely finding out what happens to asset prices when you dilute liquidity chasing memes. Those into memes are finding out that only a very few win in that casino. And now the US and the world is going to find out what happens to inflation and economies when you upend global trade with tariffs. This week memecoins have dominated. Unfortunately, not for good reasons; Argentinian President Millie supported a token that got rugged, research is showing how much Alts and Memes have come off since the December highs, all that attention and cash chasing quick wins is affecting the majors and… well, you may be better off playing roulette than flipping alts/memecoins. In more buoyant crypto news. Crypto.com is now allowed to play in Europe, Coinbase and Robinhood both had stellar results all due to crypto, Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund bought some BTC ETFs and the person now in charge of the US currency is a former Bitcoin miner. To the juicy details.... 🔘 Bitfinex Alpha research states what we all know, BTC has been consolidating now for 81 days and has declined in volatility. The good news (according to them) is that at 90 days we normally see a “decisive breakout”, the bad news is that some indicators have turned bearish. 🔘 Robinhood’s bet on crypto is paying, big time. It was ⅓ of their total revenue. 🔘 This week in memecoin news is a complete downer. We make no judgment just reporting the work of others. TLDR; memecoins appear to be bad for the top 30 assets, everyone who buys them and even Argentinian Presidents. 🔘 Talking of that...Argentinian President Milie pushed a memecoin online, then withdrew the post after the project was rugged and some really dodgy stuff appears to have happened. 🔘 Altcoin and Memecoin indices are down 50% from their December peaks. People are attributing this to the downturn in retail trader mood. 🔘 There were 600 000 (not a typo), token launches in January, most in memecoins. This is up 12x from last year and being flagged as a sector headwind as investor attention (and money) is fragmented and not driving the cycle as was expected. 🔘 Analysis shows you have a better return on investment playing roulette than flipping low cap Altcoins (called ‘shitcoins’ below). This gets worse when you factor costs. 🔘 The person chosen to control the US currency, used to work for a bitcoin miner. 🔘 Crytpo.com is now fully MiCA compliant and able to run in all of the EU. 🔘 Coinbase had a belter in Q4 according to their results, revenue doubled and net profit was up 27x. In response COIN was down 6%. Markets are weird. 🔘 Abu Dhabi Sovereign Wealth Fund steps into Bitcoin with a $436M ETF investment. Filings say they aren’t alone. 🔘 And finally, the core Devs on Ethereum have agreed to speed up delivery. Until next week ✌️
