The Wolf Of All Streets

The US SEC and CFTC issued a rare joint statement giving the green light for registered firms to trade spot crypto. The goal of the event is to break down what this means for both markets and builders, particularly how it may impact market structure, liquidity, regulatory clarity, token listing, and innovation in the crypto space discussing the implications for US crypto access, the evolution of meme coins, the shift toward brand tokens, and the move to on-chain tokenization of assets. The conversation is candid, touching on market realities, regulatory hurdles, and the potential for deeper institutional and mass-market crypto adoption.

Bitcoin is back above $110K, but analysts warn the market remains fragile. A $449M buy strategy and new SEC approvals have fueled hopes for a run toward $130K, while regulators tighten oversight with SEC/CFTC joint guidance. At the same time, Citi forecasts $5T in tokenized trading by 2030, and Ray Dalio warns of a looming U.S. debt crisis that could make Bitcoin and gold essential safe havens.

Bitcoin has reclaimed $111K, but analysts warn the market structure remains fragile after last week's whale-driven sell-off. Key levels between $105K and $118K could dictate the next big move as volatility stays elevated.This week's U.S. economic calendar is stacked: ISM Manufacturing on Tuesday, JOLTS job openings Wednesday, a wave of ADP payrolls, jobless claims, and ISM Services on Thursday, and the all-important Nonfarm Payrolls Friday. Each release will shape Fed policy expectations and could spark major moves in risk assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has teased a “major announcement,” fueling speculation that could ripple through political and financial markets. Traders are watching closely, given Trump's history of market-moving statements and his administration's growing alignment with pro-crypto policies.

On this Macro Monday, we cover a volatile week for markets. Bitcoin fell below $110K after a whale dumped 24,000 BTC, even as gold and silver hit record highs on Fed and tariff concerns while WLFI derivatives linked to Trump surged toward $1B. James Lavish warns of a looming U.S. consumer debt crisis, and tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela add to a heated global backdrop.

In this compelling episode, we explore how Bitcoin is transforming the landscape of human rights and freedom worldwide. Join us as Alex Gladstein delves into the power of Bitcoin as "freedom money," offering individuals a means to escape oppressive regimes and financial surveillance. Discover the stories of those who are leveraging Bitcoin to reclaim their autonomy and secure their financial future. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, finance, and human rights.

The U.S. is stepping deeper into crypto and markets are feeling it. Powell's Jackson Hole speech warned against cutting rates too soon, while Trump's move to oust Fed Governor Lisa Cook sparked a legal fight over Fed independence. At the same time, the Commerce Department is publishing GDP data on-chain through Chainlink, and Google Cloud unveiled a new blockchain (GCUL) for institutions. Banks are lobbying against stablecoins, the U.S. is taking a 10% stake in Intel but not Nvidia, and Bitcoin faces pressure as transaction fees hit their lowest since 2011 and a whale dumped 24,000 BTC, driving the price below $110K.

Crypto Town Hall's weekday live stream delved into recent developments shaking up the crypto market, with a particular spotlight on explosive institutional inflows into Ethereum, Chainlink's high-profile US government partnership news, and a multi-billion-dollar Trump-linked token launch. The goal was to break down these headline events, their immediate impact, and their deeper significance within the broader industry shift. Expert hosts and guest speakers offered informed, and at times conflicting, opinions on where true value accrues in crypto, the utility of decentralized technologies versus narratives and marketing, and the evolving landscape for institutional adoption. There was also detailed technical discussion about Layer 2 networks, the place of Bitcoin and Ethereum in the ecosystem, and the intersection of blockchain with real-world assets and government data.

Bitcoin sits at a crossroads, with analysts split between a rebound to $118K or a drop to $105K. Meanwhile, Ethereum is dominating inflows, with ETH ETFs pulling 10x more than Bitcoin in the past week — raising questions about Wall Street's new favorite. In D.C., Bo Hines says the Bitcoin Reserve Act will pass in 2025, while Trump's 401(k) order could reshape retirement investing. Scott is joined by Matt Hougan, CIO of Bitwise, to break down what this all means for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the next phase of adoption.

Crypto Town Hall's livestream, hosted on X, dives deep into the current state of institutional activity in the crypto space, especially focusing on the recent massive inflows into Ethereum spot ETFs despite a broader market correction. The panel, composed of regular hosts and rotating guests from different backgrounds (traders, market analysts, and insiders from the crypto and TradFi worlds), unpacks why institutional money is flowing heavily into Ethereum, what's happening with altcoins, the shifting role and business model of Layer 2s, and how political/regulatory factors interact with the crypto market's current evolution. The show maintains a casual, candid tone and allows for open panel discussion, giving insights into both on-chain activities and off-chain narratives shaping the industry.

Is crypto market manipulation destroying the industry or is it simply how markets work? In this episode, Scott Melker sits down with Guarav Dubey, a market maker, to uncover the truth about manipulation in crypto.

Bitcoin is holding strong around $110,000, yet sentiment feels oddly negative as some traders grow restless waiting for a new all-time high. Despite the frustration, the backdrop remains highly bullish with powerful tailwinds and growing industry momentum. The recent pullback from $124K is seen less as a setback and more as a seasonal lull, with long-term buyers viewing current levels as attractive entry points.

Bitcoin hit $124K last week and has been tumbling since, sparking debate over whether the rally is done.. but on-chain data and ETF inflows suggest it may just be getting started. A flash crash from ETH whale trades shook markets. In D.C., Trump's removal of Fed Governor Lisa Cook raises questions about Fed independence, even as Morgan Stanley forecasts rate cuts in September. At the same time, crypto treasury funds from B Strategy, Sharps, and Pantera are booming but are they fueling innovation or the next big risk?

Crypto Town Hall discusses the recent high-impact events in the crypto markets, especially focusing on a massive 24,000 Bitcoin market dump and what it means for Bitcoin's price stability and the broader market. The panel, comprised of regular hosts and several guest experts, debated the effects of Federal Reserve policies, the implications of the government acquiring a stake in Intel, and the evolving strategies in both macroeconomics and crypto asset allocation. The conversation also covered rate cuts, the role of sovereign wealth funds, and whether current Bitcoin and Ethereum levels are strong buy opportunities given recent market absorption strength. The goal was to untangle the weekend's events, forecast market directions, and get the panel's real-world positions and sentiment about buying at current levels.

Bitcoin faces volatility after a whale dumps 24,000 BTC ($2.7B), even as whales accumulate Ethereum and BlackRock adds $150M more ETH. Markets brace for Powell's Jackson Hole decision, with Fed officials signaling caution on rate cuts while Asian stocks rally on pivot hopes. In Washington, Senator Lummis pushes a crypto bill, the DOJ shifts enforcement focus, and banks lobby to reshape the GENIUS Act. Globally, China eyes yuan-backed stablecoins, while Coinbase's $2.9B Deribit buy and Bullish's IPO show institutions diving deeper. With whales, regulators, and Wall Street all moving fast, will Powell's decision spark Bitcoin's next big move?

The Crypto Town Hall live stream focused on current crypto market dynamics, especially Bitcoin and Ethereum price action in the wake of the Fed chair's latest speech. The hosts and panelists discussed market reactions to Jerome Powell's comments, shifting expectations around interest rates, legislative updates affecting the crypto space, technical analysis, and broader political influences. Expert guests weighed in with data-driven opinions on inflation, the 4-year cycle theory for Bitcoin, the impact of macroeconomic events, the DOJ's position on software/code and DeFi, and upcoming altcoin opportunities. The event fostered an open, opinionated discussion meant to help investors and traders make sense of a volatile, fast-changing landscape.

Bitcoin sits near $110K as all eyes turn to Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole decision and whether the Fed will signal rate cuts or stick with “higher-for-longer.” Washington heats up with Senator Lummis pushing a crypto market structure bill, the DOJ easing enforcement on developers, and banks lobbying to reshape the GENIUS Act. Globally, China explores yuan-backed stablecoins, while whales shift from Bitcoin into Ethereum and BlackRock doubles down on ETH. Even the Kanye West memecoin shows the risks of speculation. With policy, institutions, and macro all colliding, the key question remains: will the Fed's decision spark Bitcoin's next big move?

The Crypto Town Hall live stream tackled the current state of the crypto market, focusing on the so-called summer doldrums—a period of reduced news and trading activity. The discussion ranged from meme coins like the speculative Kanye coin saga, to broad questions on market psychology, to an in-depth dive into banking, stablecoins, U.S. macroeconomic policy, interest rates, liquidity, and their impact on both traditional and crypto markets. The hosts and guests analyzed the mechanics of the banking lobby against stablecoins and speculated on Fed policy, inflation, and the direction of long-term interest rates, ultimately tying all these to the continued case for Bitcoin and other hard assets. The aim was to cut through meme coin hype and focus attention on the systemic drivers of value and risk in the evolving financial landscape.

Bitcoin remains volatile as markets await Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole speech, with traders watching for signals on future rate cuts and inflation policy. Meanwhile, the banking lobby is pushing to amend the GENIUS Act, highlighting tension between Wall Street and crypto firms over stablecoin rules. In politics, the Winklevoss twins have pledged millions to a crypto super PAC aimed at shaping the 2025 elections. And in meme coin chaos, a Kanye West-themed token briefly hit a $3B market cap before crashing amid insider concerns.

In this episode, Scott Melker sits down with real estate mogul Grant Cardone to explore the powerful intersection of real estate and Bitcoin. Grant shares why he favors hard assets over stocks, how he built a multi-billion-dollar portfolio merging premium real estate with Bitcoin, and the strategy behind his groundbreaking fund structure. The conversation also dives into market trends, the future of crypto in real estate, and Grant's advice for young investors. Whether you're focused on cash flow, Bitcoin exposure, or both, this episode delivers candid insights and real-world examples from one of today's most influential investors.

Scott Melker & Sidney Powell Dive in to discuss Bitcoin blasting past $124K on Fed cut bets, ETF inflows, and institutional buying, while Ethereum and alts hold strong. Bullish's $13B NYSE debut and new Grayscale altcoin ETF filings fuel adoption. Holders stay firm, but will this momentum last?
