Is it just me or did $9bn of Satoshi era BTC just get hoovered up in a week??

After hours? No problem. Access stocks and ETFs 24 hours a day, 5 days a week on Robinhood 24 Hour Market this earnings season.

What a stat! The number of public companies holding 1,000+ BTC has steadily increased: 24 at the end of Q1 2025, 30 at the end of Q2, and 35 so far into Q3 Happy Friday!
2025 has been a wild year for stablecoins and people are calling for stablecoin summer. No, this is just the hype cycle for a given narrative. And besides, 2026 is going to be a monster year for stablecoins as payments and real world usage accelerate. I’m looking forward to…

The next wave of outperformance over multiple cycles will be from those that have absolutely clear value accrual to the token. Notwithstanding regulatory considerations, token yield is a proven method of value accrual. I’m betting 4/5 of the top 10 tokens next cycle have a…
Is the 4 year cycle dead? Possibly. But are we moving into a goldilocks style 'only up supercycle'? I don't think so. As long as speculation drives price action in any given sub-sector of crypto there will be rotations. As long as there are rotations, there will be…

$ETH is up 56% in the past month and 25% in the past 7 days alone. 🤯 Man, I missed this kind of price action! Vive le Bull Market!
