Transcript

Well, GMGM everyone, it's another day another day without for Oak or even OSF today. Think OSF has missed it. We're replacing them both again. Had some good shows recently. We've got cows coming in obviously one of the Co founders, Canary Labs you on stage.

Oh you let me let me add you on stage just there and we have Wizard of Soho who is I know the creator of one of the best best and what biggest now paid newsletters in all the crypto you are you are you're crushing it on that side but a well known person on the timeline. Thanks to thanks for joining me both. How how are you both doing? Good man. Just you know, exciting markets, exciting times, a lot of stuff going on. Exciting day today, you know, got a lot of TG events.

We had one this morning, excited for that. We got juice finance coming up later, a couple other meme coin launches. You know, listen, it's it's fun times out there. Constant adrenaline nourish.

That is it. It's just a meme coin launch after meme coin launch at the moment definitely a bull market we'll get straight into things just because it feels like feels like we should we I think yesterday we're kind of we were kind of around the same sort of levels crypto was was around 70K on Bitcoin. I think Solana was maybe around slightly lower like 193 and and Ethers as was was around the same 3600. So it's been a decent day across

crypto at the moment. We have since sold off kind of as the US kind of went live and it's been a little bit weaker over the last 1020 minutes. I think there's a little bit of fear of like a double top here. Like we haven't really gone back to the all time high. We've gone just just shy of that and then dip lower and people thinking we could range around

this sort of level for a while. I know KPM was was tweeting about that yesterday and a few other people saying, you know although we've seen good strength, this kind of still feels a bit range bound What what what are you thinking whiz how how you looking at the market here? Yeah, I mean I think that makes sense. You know the usually I I mean it's actually exactly how you said when you get that like that weird M like where the the left

peak is bigger. I like I'm not ATA guy but like just from seeing the markets and charts all day every day for the last 15 years, like you always see that kind of pattern not obviously that could be completely invalidated with some strong inflows on BTC and you know all this chart work and views can be nonsense but assuming we just see consistent the same consistent data on inflows outflows that we've been seeing over the last little while. Yeah, I mean range from would make sense.

You know that 195 level on Solana is definitely you know been pushing back down for sure. It's kind of not too bad it broke out of that 3500 went to 36 something today came back lower again over the last 20-30 minutes and it's doing that same pattern as well. So yeah, bearing anything significant on outflows, I don't see why we don't range for a

while. I saw a couple of polls put out the ice bags, put a poll, he did it like couple days ago on how long it'll be till you see another BTC high. And I think it was 3 days ago when market was like under a lot of pressure, it was three months. Was that the poll? And I think he did it yesterday and it was like, I think it's like one week or something. So those kind of polls are always you know nice little market sentiment inverse indicators.

So if that if we go off that it would mean that we would probably be range bound for a little while which makes sense. You know, maybe we start up again into fall or maybe we start up in like few weeks when some big bar program comes in like very tough to tell, right? Now I mean this morning we really weren't far off I'm I'm sharing some screens here

Simpson if you you can see. But yeah, we we were only 5% off a high all time highs on Bitcoin and I think we got to the first inflow day in what was that we had five outflow of days and one inflow day. Interestingly, it was still a really bad day for for Grayscale, who likely still have, you know over a billion of of GBTC Genesis to have over a

billion of GBTC to sell. So I don't think that figures probably going to slow over the coming days, but I I kind of felt like we were, we'd seen a big inflow day yesterday given the rip. I mean Bitcoin moved what, 10% over the last few days and most altcoins moved 10 to 20%. But actually this was kind of tame, only 15,000,000 of inflows. So I was a little bit surprised at the the aggressiveness of that move. Obviously this, this, this outflows on.

Maybe we're already looking past them because this is going to slow down for sure in the coming days. But I I thought that was interesting. There were some pretty bullish I think headlines on the on the issue institutional side at least gold miners now starting to buy Bitcoin. It looks like South South American gold miner nylon resources, nylon resources resources going to buy 1.7 billion of Bitcoin.

I think it's kind of ironic that you have gold miners now buying buying Bitcoin, but this is kind of what we said yesterday. It's a lot easier now for institutions to get involved in the space and I think you're going to see a lot of corporate treasuries come that's way 1.7 billion isn't massive. I think you know with with Bitcoin, you know, over a trillion, but it's still, it's still a good sign, right.

This is. I thought this was kind of wild news to see what do you think about this cows. I know I saw you tweet about it. I I was just like what is happening? But then I feel like that is the defining feeling of like just that hyperbolic move higher when you just like crazy stuff that you had never thought about just happens like the market cap of this gold miner was 1,000,000 bucks because it's like some penny stock and they're buying some entity in Mauritius or something.

I don't know. But I think it's bullish broadly just that this type of thing is happening and the these type of trades are going on and and they're on the kind of minds of non crypto people as a way to generate value or change direction etcetera. Yeah. Yeah, that that was it. Like, I have everyone that was going to buy Bitcoin. I didn't think it would be a gold miner like. Which that was fake news. No, I don't think it was fake news. Where is it? Wait, So what does your thing

say? Sal is not buying 1.7 billion in Bitcoin. Oh, right. What is this? They're buying some entity, which they're buying my own Bitcoin, which owns. Basically. Oh, OK. Wait, so this was a penny stock. How much did it pump on that news? I didn't see. I think it was in post market yesterday. So this morning at the farm. Actually, this does look like a slightly strange article, and I have bring what having brought it up, it does feel as though it definitely wasn't what people

initially thought. It looks like this was this was a stunt from a dying penny stock. That's. What it seems like Wait, can you check? Let's pull up the chart. Because. That market cap is 110 mil this morning, right? OK, 100 X. This is clearly fake news, people. We we started the news there. Yeah, it looks like it was. Wait, does it really go up 100 X? May I mean, I don't know where this stock even trades. Let's let's pull up. Is there a ticker over there?

It's up 600%, that's. 4 mils? That's still incredible 5. Mil. For peace thought, like moving up that much. I mean this. I mean, clearly a fake drop. Incredible. I mean, it's like shit coins, basically. But up 100 million? Yeah, Wild that is. That is a wild move. But does look like it. This isn't maybe a what it seemingly was at the start. It looks like it was. It's very, it's just an intention to buy it looks like and it may be buy Rs structure.

So yeah, I don't know if that's the main headline. I think then the main headline would be this would be this UK headline that they're going to start listing Etns. That is a real headline. Looks like they're going to be coming in May. There were rumours of this a couple of months back. London Stock Exchange is obviously one of the biggest stock exchanges in the world,

these ETFs coming through. And then I even saw this morning that there was more headlines I think from Bloomberg analyst. Let me bring that up. Was it James safe up? Yes, he posted about, oh there we go. Looks like Hong Kong is going to allow in kind creations and redemptions for spot Bitcoin ETS in the second quarter which could help spark AUM and volume in the fastest growing region by

our new note today. So a new Bloomberg article basically saying that Hong Kong's going to be going to be big for this ETF space. So definitely still institutional demand looks like that that that gold that gold miner headline was was kind of fake news. Maybe that's why we sold off, who knows, that wasn't a massive figure but definitely showed some institutions buying and that that appears to be fake news. There was also a bit of a back and forth here.

We spoke about this kind of at length yesterday. We don't need, we need to go rehash it too much. But the the, the chief legal officer of Ripple and the Bloomberg analyst kind of went back and forth on whether we think a spot ETTF is going to happen. Craig Solm, I think his name is came in and basically said it's not so bad that they haven't come back and said anything. The SEC should have made some comments by now but they

haven't. He basically says you know no news is not necessarily bad news it it, it could happen and the Bloomberg analyst came slapped slapped back and just said look it I still think it's 25% odds. Interestingly it looks as though the discount on the on the grayscale ETF asset has has fallen quite a bit recently. So it's it's about 22% which probably that's where the market is pricing that's a decent discount on the ETF. So what do you think whiz?

I know you you've been more bullish on honey just because it's now more of a tail event and you think it could still happen. Yeah, you know it's the, you know first like what are the things that make will make the like what's the the hurdles the ETTF has that BTCETF didn't have to go through, right. The biggest thing is that all Bitcoin Maxis are going to push for not having an ET to the ETF,

right? That like that's something BTC did not have to go through and you're already kind of seeing it out there like where people are like like a lot of like big big name BTC Maxis who were like hard pushing, putting funds behind it. But even if you look at the bigger guys like you know the Gemini guys like the Winklevoss twins and stuff, you're not hearing much on, like you were constantly hearing about BTCETF from them, but you're not.

So the big hurdle that they'll have to get ETETTF has to get over is the fact that, you know, there's gonna be a huge army of BTC Maxis in the government and outside the government and the lobbying that are gonna push back against it. You know, 'cause there's no even like Sailor, like, you think Sailor is gonna be like, yeah, let's have a ETF. Like, if anybody, if SEC was like, hey, here's the expert, let's get some advice from him. He's going to be like, hell, no,

no, there's going to be no ETF. So I think that's going to be, in my opinion, that's the biggest hurdle. I think the biggest pro it has is obviously Larry Fink's been on the air like several times talking about it. And you know, it's kind of tough to fade somebody at that status. They just put their digital fund on each, which you know at least shows that they don't think it's like a scan coin like all the BTC Maxis. But you know that that's kind of the, you know, the pros that I see.

So I think it's but I think it's a tail event. I think it's not priced in at all. If anything is maybe a 10 to 15% priced in, which makes it a great upside trade, right? Like, what's your downside on this? Like if the entire market's pumping no matter what, it's going to pump, but you get pump on this news, then you have a whole different ball game,

right? Then you're looking at a easy like 3040% minimum, maybe 50% gain relative to the rest of the market, which I think that's the game to play for if you are a betting guy on that kind of thing. Yeah, I I saw ADC investor with a similar take yesterday. Obviously mega ETH bull here, which was let me say it God, he tweets a lot. He basically said the same thing. Yeah, I'll say it again.

If the ETF gets approved in May and all the rejection stuff has been psyops, then prepare for a rapid rage pump to 10 Ki mean he's super bullish Eve. It may happen, it may happen. I don't. I think we spoke about yesterday that we don't think the ETF has got anywhere near the same level of demand as the Bitcoin ETF, but it is now I think kind of being priced in at this sort of level at least like 30% probability. I think that it's not going to

happen. I I think if it if we got the headline tomorrow that the ETTF is not going to happen. I do think it would sell off, but the sell off would be nowhere near the pump that would happen if if it if they said it was going to happen. So I I I see what you're saying. I still think my base case is that this is not happening now just because of the commentary around this. But definitely the risk reward is starting to look slightly

more interesting here. I don't think I absolutely pukes if it gets rejected just because I don't think this is this is like it gets rejected and never gets fucked out again. I think we'll probably in a scenario where it can get challenged and caught by one of the major players. Look we macro today has been has been kind of quiet. We're in for a little bit of a quiet week just because of just because it's a bit of a holiday week. This week I I did bring up something because I thought it

was quite funny. I don't normally bring up single stocks, but have you seen what's been happening with Trump? So Trump has got this true social Which looks. Like what do you mean? So Trump's true social is going to get listed. Today. Oh, it's going to be listed. It's a SPAC. It's a SPAC takeover, I think, right? Yeah, SPAC takeover and. Oh, that's Big Trump. 'S going to make 4 billion, it looks like from this.

It's like a wild valuation versus like Twitter, but it's get the first day, it's getting listed today. So I don't know if it's live now it's it's going under. Let's have a look at this thing. D WAC is the, is the name. Of the well he got his money to pay his his bonds. Now, whatever, right. Yeah, they they brought the oh, here we go. Digital World Acquisition Corpus, isn't it. This must be.

I mean, it's got to have a lot of value because like the ad companies they want to target like conservatives. I mean, there's no better place. And conservatives spend money too, right? So. I think this is it. I think it's been listed on the. Just it? Yeah. 78 bucks. What? What's the market cap on that damn 30 minutes ago? Oh, it's flying. 2 billion it looks like, but I'm not. I'm not 100%. Sure, if it's the right thing. I'm not 100% sure. It looks like this has been around for a while.

Yeah, it's called DJT. That's the ticker. That's hilarious. Oh, anyway, look, be on the lookout. There's going to be a lot of wild headlines around Trump's wealth here because this is a SPAC, which is basically gone live on the NASDAQ today. And a lot of the the problems around Trump's financing, I think are going to come into the forefront. But yeah, I just thought that was an interesting. He's posted the bail. He's he's posted bail.

Yeah, the bail came down like like it was only like 175 million in the. End only 195, yeah and then he posted. I think usually you post like 20% for the bond and he posted cash. Do you see that video? Oh. Yeah, did see that. Did see that money? But anyway, yeah, that that came out obviously the Diddy headlines yesterday and then you had Newman looking like looking like he's trying to buy back. We work for 500 million, which I thought was he has really crushed that trade.

Adam Newman. I mean, it's not. A bad time to get into commercial real estate, right? Like rates are at all time highs. Commercial real estate values have been like are in the toilet, basically. Oh yeah. You have to assume that there's somewhere near the lows if like some of these cities in the US start to clean up their act a bit. San Francisco, for example. So I I think it could be a good trade for him. Like he topped it on the way out.

He looks like he's bottom ticking it on the way back in. Like fair play, Yeah. Yeah, there was a good thing on all in actually a few weeks back, which is like he he really got screwed on the financing more than anything. Like he actually, they're probably, they were kind to him, they were kind to him. But he does know how to create. He does know how to create a product, Let's put it that way. 100% He didn't get screwed on the financing.

Like, yeah, let's put new works are nice places to work. I know if you've ever like. Yeah, yeah, easily one of the nicest. They're kind of, I think, in the current environment at that time. At that time they were definitely pushing the boundaries of like what could be considered like good workspace for sure, but the whole thing was totally unsustainable. They were like 60% of the new rental market year after year in most major. Cities.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that's a problem of of size and financing. Like, he's not a bit, but like the actual style of the office, I kind of like. I don't know if you can even extract the two from the other, like one from the other, but yeah. I think, I think, I think you can. I think if he comes back and he financings right, like I do think like you said you can get cheap cheap commercial real estate right now that that could be an interesting one.

Anyways you move back into crypto. I don't want to linger too much for macro, but boring market right now in macro I think it's going to be quiet for the rest of the week. There's very little going on but those are some single things that that maybe look and then we can get back into what's been going on in meme coins. Decent day for meme coins yesterday with went back above 3 billion. Number of other Solana meme

coins doing well over the last. Over the last 24 hours I think you had a number of different listings. Again any any of these like mid tier Solana meme coins are starting to get listed. I think when got listed. Slough I think is getting listed on a few different places again and people just want to list Solana meme coins because the. The. Volumes going through are just crazy compared to some of the other exchanges.

Anything you that caught your eye Wiz I know you're you're big in the left curve part of the market. Yeah, you know. This new thing, right? Like. What is new? That's literally what the ticker I just clicked on that kind of just took us. So what I I I kind of didn't look at it deep enough. Obviously the moment I looked at it, it was at like 203 hundred million. Was this like a pre sale or like what? Like, what's the background on this, do you know?

I didn't know. I think it was probably part pre sale, but IT people said it was related to the Ship Co founder like it's somehow related to a ship Co founder. Oh, that's a classic. OK, which is, like, actually a classic. He's. Actually, it's kind. Of true it. Probably is true but. It could be, yeah, yeah, for sure. How many? People worked on ship at the start like tons so.

Yeah no it could be true. I know that ship people they ran they if if eat Denver. There were rumors that ship founder was there doing was raising money for something. I don't know if this is what it was. I'll be surprised if he did it on Solana. But there was a chatter that I heard in like inner circles where that like the actual ship founder was there chatting with key people and he raised like some ten $15 million in like 24 to 48 hours just in a couple meetings.

But I thought that was something to do with the something coming on Ethereum possibly, but. Who knows? I mean the fact that the things that's 200 million already 2. 100 million like you speed running these things. Speed running. These things, everything's like you're going, that's the crazy thing right now. Like after boom, it seems like coins are just doing like like 10 month, 12 month cycles in like hours. Like it's instantaneous generational wells like you.

You ape in and like By afternoon you ape in like $1000 and by night time you've retired. You're like 10 generations like, like. You have to be paying. Attention 100%. I mean, but the question is what did this launch at like was this something like you could actually like capture that much because like it launched this morning, right? Well, there was a trader that this this story went viral that made like he.

Didn't cash out. Well, I think it's probably around the same level that it was when he when he top ticked it. Oh, he did sell. Oh, I didn't know if he. Sold. I don't know if he sold. I thought there was a wallet that went from like, which I'm going to assume was like a team sniper wallet because it didn't sell at all. But it went to eight, $10 million from like a couple thousand. But like this one this launched at oh damn, it did launch at like a a kind of.

So it launched at 4 zeros and 35. Wow. It actually did fucking. It's like 100 X. So yeah, Trader made $20 million. You are, as we say, you can retire yourself in a few generations in Solana Meme Coin season. This is just another one today. That's insane, right? Like, OK, Like, isn't that mind blowing? Like from like, the world we came from and like, even where we're right now? Like even in Meme Coin Man 2021 you didn't see anything like this. Dude, like, even 2020 million it

was it was wild, right? Like now it's 200. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, like 100 million is like the new 10 million. It almost, it seems like if you catch a couple good like everyday coins are going like 5000 fifty hundred 5000, like 100% insane. Yeah, I. Really fucking crushed it. How long did it take for Mog, for example, to get to 20? I remember it just being like, oh, this is taking. Yeah, eight months. It's consolidated. Mog consolidated at that 8 to 15, eight to 1520 million range

for eight months. And then like when it's like pumping, it pumped hard, it got to 500, now it's consolidating again. But but that's also like Ethereum, right? Like like the volume. And I'm a, you know, big fan of Mog, but like the volume Mog is doing, which is like probably one of the bigger coins, meme coins on Ethereum, it's like like 500K meme coins on Solana are doing more per hour volume like that. Mind blowing? Like what the fuck?

So, my Mog. Yeah a volume yesterday and Solana meme coins, yeah like you said like if I go down the list we get to about number was that 30 before we get to five and a half million roughly like it is. The 30 memes on Solana are doing more than one of the top on chain memes at least on on East it's it's a big big difference. It's definitely come a bit more multi chain though, like a lot of these base tokens.

Again, having a good day, the top tokens forgot yesterday's D Gen. tokens down a little bit, but all the all the followers Brett which is a. Popular one, Yeah, but that's not a meme point, right? D Gen's like isn't that part of like FARC? It's more to it, yeah. It's got a bit more to it, but like so. But look at that. Look at look at that list 1. Meme one is a a utility coin. And isn't it all just meme coins? Yeah, it is, of course. I mean, mean coins is this space at the moment.

I know this show has become more talking about it because that you know if people. Are making $20 million. That's what you should talk about. Yeah. Yeah, that's. Been making $20 million a day. I think people do want to hear about it and people are following where that's happening. So I think you just have to have to accept it. But yeah, the one of. The big ones, I mean yesterday. Or was it day before Based in more volume than Solana? It was like 2.1 billion, which

is interesting. So I think, I think it's now it's on deck Screener it's saying 2 billion again for Solana and and bases it's definitely cooled down since then it's about 700 million but it's you know it's two very decent volume. See, that's a lot. Still very, very TBL. Then blast too, right? Like I saw on your newsletter, it's like that. Yeah, yeah, it's well, it's getting there. It's getting a very it's it's about to flip it, I think.

So kind of crazy move there. Talking about BLAST, we did see we spoke about this yield token yesterday. They changed their Tokenomics. It then promptly dropped 50%, which I thought was when they changed it. I I don't know the game that well, but they changed it so that so that like Wales were slightly hurt on the Tokenomics side of things like they won't get their distributions as quick and that caused a bit of a dip. It looked like it was positive

for the long, long term. Did I call that? Yesterday on the show. I actually don't know. But maybe that's a double top look at that. I mean, it might not be long term, but damn, they smashed it right at that level. Yeah, so that's when the announcement came it. It then promptly dropped 50%. I think I actually looked through the announcement, yes, this morning, 'cause I was like, what the hell happened there? And Eric EB seven, he was more bullish about it.

Let me just share this tab. So he said the Crypto Valley's update from today is actually incredible. I'm convinced, I mean this is one of these tweets, but I'm convinced the team behind this understands tokenomics, the level of Pac-Man, the Blur team, highest compliment update preachers analysis courtesy of Mod dog.

They basically, I don't know the game that well, but they basically I think have made it so that Wales don't get as many tokens and some of those Wales were pissed, so that's why it went lower. But it it looks like it could be positive for the long term. Who knows these things? Are wrong. They don't. They don't. But at the same time that was definitely one that took a lot of attention in the NFT state and I I'm not calling the end of it just yet.

Like people do love this game. Like it's kind of addictive if you've you've. Really. Yeah. I think Red Guy tweets about it. Non-stop loving it. If I typed in yield right now, I would say you know at least 5 to 10 top NFT people are getting involved in this thing high. Yeah, I saw DS on it too. Yeah, yeah. Ike DS Oh, Moon Cat. Obviously. Yeah, just a bunch. A bunch. Of Moon Cat too. Yeah, that's right. I did see that he has. He's a frontline. Soldier He's a frontline soldier

for sure. Yeah, 100%. He likes getting involved in everything, but yeah, this has definitely been one that a lot of people have picked up on. I don't think I wouldn't call the end of it just yet. What else is on blast like the like I'm not like meme coins kind of didn't. Or how's that Pac-Man did PAC Moon I thought that was kind of. It's something to be, yeah. So PAC Man's having a decent 24 hours, it's back up to $32 million market cap now. So that's I think an all time

high. I mean just looking at these numbers, 137 million of volume has gone through over the last 24 hours versus 700 million on base. It kind of tells and these are similar TVLS, there is less, there's less trading for sure on blast like there's less things even though they have high TVLA. Lot of that is just farming the the upcoming AirDrop. There's far less actual activity it feels like. So yield this crypto values is definitely one of the more interesting things to to happen

there. But. It's yeah, it's really nothing. You're right. It's more it's more farming D5 stuff. So like juice Finance, like they have their token launched today and that's on blast. So that'll do the probably the most exciting thing on blast. Since, yeah, so you're going to start to see some of their own, like native D5 things.

Now sometimes juice is a lending profile which platform which you get a bunch of gold, they've got like a lot of the big gold blast incentives are are through there and that's reached about 200 million plus TBL. So that's going to, that's going to be one of the bigger launches I think. I think it's definitely one of the biggest things in terms of TBL, but does this. Chain look like long term like is it going to be able to sustain itself once the kind of

rewards trickle off? Is that never, is that just never going to happen? Are people going to have their, like, eat steak there forever? Like what's the long term picture? So I think it's it's a difficult one because you look at what happened with Blur and Blur won a ton of let's say similarly one ton of market share and has since kind of bled out in terms of market share. Like Magic Eden is now beating it pretty comfortable for market share. I think Magic Eden's beating it

obviously for revenue as well. So it's interesting to see. But the Ponzi will keep going or at least like the the idea of staying involved or keep going. So I'm sure like there'll be points and this, this current season will go to a season 34567. So hopefully this time this gives it time to fill out more long term protocols. There's a lot more things which are only on blast. On blast, they're not, they're not cross chain.

A lot of the stuff here, and in fact a lot of the cross chain stuff gets, gets like nerfed in terms of points. So it's. Which is stupid, by the way. Like, if you're another chain, you're bringing community over to blast and you're getting nerfed. Like, I thought I was wasabi, Like, they brought from mainnet, like from and over. And they got nerfed and I was like, man, they're bringing people over. And I don't know, that's like a weird thing.

But yeah, whatever. I guess my question is more like, can you long term, do you actually sustain real enough activity that that then catalyzes more and more and more real activity with the points or is it just like a slow dwindling

of the whole points thing? I think that's what everyone's waiting to see with Blur. There was probably less innovation than like to keep that people staying there other than the points, whereas here they're hoping that there's going to be a bunch of new things built. This stuff like yield is kind of what they need to have happen. They need to have. We need to have stuff that people actually want to come on and use rather than just just

farming and airdrops. So I think it remains to be seen, but I and I think it's an interesting strategy they've gone with, which is like like Wiz says, they've really, they're really trying to encourage only things that are

built on blast and nowhere else. And I don't know if that is the strongest long term move definitely creates like a unique experience, but maybe that makes weaker protocols, who knows like just the way that ETA is with with with modularity that is I think that's that's kind of it in terms of meme coins. I did see interestingly today that the RWA, this is something that we've spoken about a bit more on the show has has now surpassed crypto gaming in terms of search trends.

It's definitely something that's been picking up ever since BlackRock announced their new fund. I know we've spoken about Coins in this space before with Ondo, Pendle, Mantra, Mantra, which is they've all had a bit of a big move. But if I was to pick one big narrative which is picking up pace in crypto over the last three weeks, I would say it's RW Eight. It definitely feels like a space which could see some pretty substantial growth. I'll share this tab.

So Ondo, which has got a bit of a partnership actually with BlackRock, that's up hundred 100% in the last week. Polymesh is up to 100%. Mantra. Well, Mantra I thought had had a huge move. Yeah, well, Mantra had a huge move before that. It's done about 3X in the last month and you kind of go down this list handles up 65%, centrifuge up 62%. This every single token I see in the RWA space is absolutely mooning right now, like every single one on this list, every

single one. And that I think is some of these are quite low market caps, like the biggest one. The biggest market cap in this space is Ondo, which is a $1.2 million current market cap. It's got about a nine billion fully diluted. But what do you think about this this space guide? Like do you think this is just too boomer as a space to be interesting? Or do you think this this could really pick up?

Oh man, this will definitely pick up because I think, I think the fact that it is Boomer is why it'll pick up. Because I think as crypto and red free is growing people, people like there's a large chunk that just mistrust A banks where they don't want to keep any cash in the banks right. Which means they have no access to grow their funds or get a diversified exposure to something else.

Like once you have like, say like this, people would like, you know, like 10 billion of Ethereum, right? There's probably tons of whales like our Bitcoin or random fucking D5 shit Solana, whatever. It may be like, right? Say hundreds of millions or whatever. Where are you going to put that money in? Like you can't put it in like shit like Ave. and com. There's no returns, right?

Because interest rates are high enough, because like D5, that's the reason D5 has been so bad over the last little while is because interest rates are so high. People don't need to tap into D5 to get those. You know where they can park their cash and get some returns, right? So now it's like, OK, I want to get exposure to real estate. Like nobody wants to pull out their like their crypto and be like, OK, I'm going to go buy like you know, $50 million worth of real estate to get exposure.

There's a lot of like bureaucracy, ad hoc transfer of money, like taxes, blah blah, blah. You know, that's just America, I think more international, like Asia and stuff like that. How do you get cross-border exposure to real world assets like American real estate or European real estate, Asian real estate, whether it's gold, crude oil, whatever it may be, carbon credits, you know, for example. That's been a big thing I've been a bull on for RWA. How do you get exposure? There's no cross.

There's no clean cross-border way to be able to trade all this unless you have a full KY seed account. And that's talking about the very big stuff like gold, silver, commodities, real estate, right. But some of the other stuff like, uh, that you want to get exposure, there is no centralized liquid way to do

that. And I feel like that's where a lot of crypto people who want to add that diversification, who aren't like, you know degens like us who are like all in on the meme coin that that's the money that will flow in. And you see that because like you see all these chains like look at arbitrary. Arbitrary is one of the biggest TV LS out there and volume out there, but it's not. There's like there's no meme coins and stuff out there,

right? So there are even like BSc like Binance function is running a lot of stuff, right. The other meme coin that raised 280 million, So there's a lot of money out there that wants to go into stuff that's a little bit safer. They want to get diversified exposure, cross-border exposure and this is kind of the only way

they can do that. So I think the more there's a lot more RWAI think coming in and I think the money that's going to inflow into that well, it's going to be people who are like, hey listen, I just want to get exposure, I want to diversify My Portfolio and like even like a few percent of that portfolio overall over if you project forward like you know three to four X growth of the market, you're you're talking billions rolling into these RWA projects, right.

So yeah, big Bull on Ondo Pendle obviously, you know we're obviously, I'm a huge Pendle Bull, extremely undervalued and then all these other projects too that are coming up. Yeah, I I agree with you. It's it's Boomer. But don't underestimate the boomers. It's it's just a ton a. Ton of money, crypto boomer. You know, like, I think that's like the cat.

Like the thing. Like it's not like our mom and dad who are going to. It's like like people who have made like billions in crypto and like don't want to be in the trenches. Like aping, you know, meme coins other than just for fun. They want to park their assets in something and you can't park it and defy anymore, right, Right. I think that's why in a high interest rate environment, RWA is going to be the big and we're going to be in a high interest rate environment for a long

time, right. Like it's we're not going to see 0% interest rates for at least maybe another catastrophe that happens maybe five years from now or something like that. So, right, we're in a high inflation environment, we're in a high rate environment, which means that our like the, the, the demand for real world assets in this world is going to be huge. Yeah. And we're seeing that we're seeing. The amount of money trying to chase 5 to 8% yields is

unbelievably higher. The amount of money trying to chase 10 XS, there's just so much money that is looking for stable, relatively high yields. And if that sort of money starts to move into crypto and finds products that they can invest in not mean coins, they're not trying to make 1000 X, they're just trying to basically make boring returns with their with their savings. I think that that would be in some ways an even more bullish trend.

So just out of all the low caps right now obviously stuff's happening in meme coins obviously stuff is happening in in in gaming. But I do think RW as as a as a sector is 1 to pay attention to. It's actually only a small list I would say of coins that you would invest in. So it's it's worth it's worth digging in back when we come back to NF TS. It's been kind of a a similar sort of trend over the last over the last 24 hours that we saw

yesterday. It's mainly been about about ordinals, Bitcoin puppets I think. Let me just share my screen for the for the degens page. Here we go. Yeah, Bitcoin puppets hit an all time high up to nought .3. Pudgy Penguins had a bit of a bounce. Actually, Azuki had a bit of a bounce. Azuki has flipped mutinates in terms of market cap. They're back up to 5 E But ladies had a bit. It was, it was been an OK day of

the last 24 hours. A lot of talk about Azuki right now, a lot of talk about them, you know, doing a token, doing potentially even a chain. There's like a lot, a lot of rumours about where they're going to take. Oh really? Oh yeah, anime chain. Anime chain is what I'm hearing. Yeah, a lot of rumors about what's going on going. On that's like the new thing, right? Like if you every gaming protocol is doing their own L3. Yeah, exactly. It's like easy pump like, why not?

So but I think they've been pretty vocal about them then trying to do that like it's it's but who knows who knows? Well, I have a. Lot of zookies, so that'd be nice. Yeah exactly. But yeah puppet puppets I think has been the main 1 breaking looks like 20 grand now for a puppet. It's it's I think half the price of a node monkey roughly. But yeah 20 grand for a puppet, 45 grand for a node monkey that is that has really been one of the the craziest moves so far

this year. So that's been that's been the main thing in in in terms of NFTS we did see a dart farms one of one sell for for 270K looks like which I thought was pretty cool. He burned it too, right? What'd you say? He burnt the bone that he they paid for it. Wow, I didn't realize that I'm. Pretty sweet, I could be wrong, I thought. I thought somebody said that, that he burned all the bone that he raised. What a what a legend. That's crazy. Yeah, that's pretty cool.

So look, that's pretty pretty nice 270K for a for a dark farms one of one. There's been an NFT on base actually, which ripped this is primitives MFT, which I think was shared by Jesse Polak. So NFTS on base starting to pick up as is an. Interesting. How do you buy those? How do you buy the base? NFTSI was looking at that too. You know what? I don't know. I actually don't know.

Yeah, 'cause I thought the primitives that look cool, I wanted to get some, but I had no idea where to buy them. Is that do they have their own marketplace? You know what they may Coinbase NFC marketplace maybe? Maybe, I wonder with Coinbase. NFC I only got a use case. Who knows? I I genuinely don't know where the base marketplace is, but maybe it. Could be a good play then, even if we don't know means that you know there's nothing but upside then.

Yeah, exactly. That's actually a very good point if if you want to find friction and you then you want to explore it and and find where you want to invest. So maybe maybe this is the stuff that we should be investing in that that as the top NFT on base seems maybe a little bit. Lower. Yeah, look cool too, like. Right nought point nought 8 E Yeah, I don't know. That's probably a punt. That's probably a. That's probably a 10. X Play the chat is saying you

can buy them on Open C you. Can buy them on Open C, right? OK, well. Oh really? I don't remember. Them saying that they were going to do that recently, Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they're here. No. Yes. Yeah. So it looks like. A chain like a pixel. Like remember like every chain has one pixel that's going to do good no matter what. Like I did that when say Network launched it. Like their sayings, they did really well. I don't see why this doesn't do

well too. I just have no idea how to buy it. These are at .4 now. .4 Eat. Yeah. Yeah, they're not. They're not sure. What did they mean that? No .8. No point. Not not. 30 We suck. Oh, wow. Yeah, no point. Not, not three. Hang on. So that's 100 X. Yeah, yeah. Wow. We. Should have been waving this in. Run it back. Yeah, that was an obvious one at that price. I think even I just said this now like that's that's at no .4. Maybe. Maybe. You have like a best two to

three X at best. Yeah, it's it's like a probably a good play, not not like an incredible play. If it goes, if it goes. Well, that was the win yesterday. We should have fucking waved that in. I was looking at it too. Damn it, I knew it would be a win. And I think that was kind of it, that there was the Howdy, the Howdy drop did not go. What happened? With dad. With Dad the 5 million? I don't. I didn't even look at my my howdy hats since then. You were on that, right?

I mean, I got involved. OSF got involved in quite a big way. And then? And then I don't know, didn't go as well as planned. I think kind of that should be expected. But yeah that that's that's what's been going on in the left curve stuff meme Coins pumping mage is kind of still holding out where they were yesterday. RW as is the strongest narrative. A bunch of different air drops

and new launch TG events. I think as as Wiz said today, be on the lookout for for stuff go happening on base in terms of NF, TS and and shit coins and yeah, we're starting to see a bit of a pump in in one of one cells even maybe after after dark farms. So I think that's it for today.
