Intro

Speaker 1

Hey, folks, welcome into the Thinking Crypto Podcasts. You're home for cryptocurrency news and interviews. I'm your host, Tony Edward. On your way in. Please sit that subscribe button as well so thumbs up button and leave a common below. If you're listening on a podcast platform such as Spotify or Apple, please leave a five star rating and review. Folks,

Bitcoin analysis & China Tariffs delayed

we have to start by talking about the price of bitcoin, because it took back a lot of the gains it made over the past twenty four to thirty six hours. It was trading at near one hundred and twenty two thousand dollars last night, but now it corrected and it is currently trading just above one hundred and nineteen thousand. But there's no cost for alarm. I often state that markets can fake us out, right, there's usually fake outs. But from the macro perspective, we're still on track. Everything

is still looking bullish. There has been no invalidation of the bullmarket. As I've been telling you guys since the tariff crash and much more. All the respective metrics and signals are there, and the one good sign we continued to see is that the mac D on the daily chart for Bitcoin has flipped green, so the bullsary controlled despite this pullback, so we just got to be patient.

I do believe we're going to see a major rally this month of Bitcoin hitting new highs, and obviously we're not far from that, and I believe all coins are going to rally as well, but we got to be patient. Now. We continue to look at global liquidity as the major leading indicator. Global liquidity, as I've been telling you guys, shows a top right now in late September early October, so it could continue to rise. We just have to wait and see. As of the data today, it shows

that's the top. So right now we have to plan for Q four early Q four being the top of the market. And in addition, if you saw the news today from the mainstream of outlets, Trump extends the China TARF deadline by ninety days. That puts us into October, so a major macro roadblock here being pushed back once again. In addition, we expect Congress to pass the Crypto Market Structure Bill, the CLARITIAC by the end of September early October.

So you have these three major pillars here saying that the blow off top is going to be around early Q four. Now we can extend, we can see global equity rebound, where this thing goes further into Q four, maybe it spills over to twenty twenty six. But as of right now, these are the things I'm looking at, and they're facts, the data of global liquidity. Congress David Sachs said, Congress is going to get the market Structure

Bill passed by the end of September. That's going to be a huge narrative that mainstream media is going to run with, and then the tariff deadline pushback. So you know, if you disagree with me, please leave your comments below telling me why this is wrong. But I think you all can reasonably see here through the process of elimination and certain factors we've seen historically that this is setting up for a blow off top comme Q four. But we'll have to wait and see. But guys, like I said,

be patient. The market's doing its thing. The macro thesis is still in play, all right, moving ahead. Commissioner Hester

SEC confirms Ripple Case over

Purse and Chairpaul Atkins of the SEC today confirm the wrapping up of the SEC versus Ripple case. This is important because you still have the floodsters out there saying we want to see from the SEC and all kinds of crap. Right, so Hester Purse, Commissioner the SEC, tweeted out last week the SEC's case against Ripple was finally laid to rest, a welcome development for many reasons, including that minds, once occupied with litigation, can now concentrate on

creating a clear regulatory framework for crypto. So I've often said the Ripple case certainly sets a precedent because its case law can be used to help craft regulations and much more. And look at this Chair. Paul Atkins replied to her tweet here, saying, Commissioner Purse is right. With this chapter closed, we now have an opportunity to shift our energy from the courtroom to the policy drafting table. Our focus should be on building a clear regulatory framework

that fosters innovation while protecting investors. Hashtag Project Crypto. This is great. This is the transparency and the communication level that we wanted for over the past four years with Gary Ginser. But of course he was a scumbag regulator. But great to see the SEC has done a complete one to eighty and things are moving in the right direction. So this is very very bullish now. Pacso's the stable

Paxos Bank Charter

coin infrastructure and issuer company. They have joined Ripple and Circle in pursuit of seeking a national bank charter license. So many of these crypto companies are looking to establish themselves to be bank like, if not full on to be a bank. And that's why JP Morgan, Jamie Diamond and all these guys are so scared right disruptions at

their doorstep. So, the firm which issues paypals, PYUSD and Pax dollars said it was looking to convert its New York Department of Financial Services trust charter into a national one. Over the past few months, Ripple and Circle have also applied for banking licenses with the OCC. So crypto is certainly disrupting the financial system and markets and payments, and the next logical step is to get these banking charter licenses. So very very bullish news here, and expect to see

more of this. I think a lot of companies are going to apply for these licenses now. Quick word from our sponsor, and that is Treasure. Treasure makes beautiful hardware wallets that make it easy for you to safely store your crypto. I'm a big believer in self custody. I've preached about it for years. Folks. Many of you know

I've been a user of hardware wallets. I stored a majority of my crypto there, and I'm a user of the Treasure Say five and Treasure they were the first ones to create hardware wallets, so they started this whole thing. They started the seed phrase setup and much more. And their hardware wallets are open source, and folks, they support the majority of the crypto tokens out there. Of course, you're big ones, big one lot of XRP E theorem and much more. They even support new tokens, even black

Rocks Biddle that's their tokenized money market fund token. They have a great software suite called Treasure Suite which helps you to manage your coins, and they also have a handholding service so you can talk to a Treasure rep to help you set up your device and much more. They of course don't ask you for your private keys. They just help you to navigate the device. You know how to set it up and so forth. So that's a great service. You can talk to someone at the

company to get this going. And folks, if you use my code, which is thinking Crypto all one where thinking Crypto. You can get five percent off the devices to check them out, folks. I'm a user and they make great hardware wallets and it's a great, great option, the safest way to store your crypto. So check out the link in the description to learn more. Now, folks, look at

Jeff Bezos Blue Origin Crypto

this news. It's very big. Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin now takes bigcoin and other cryptos for space flights. This is huge adoption and this is an indication of crypto's maturity and growth that a space tourism company will accept crypto because they know a lot of rich people own crypto. Now a lot of Wall Street and trad five folks are getting involved. So here's the headline, space tourism meets crypto as Blue Origin accepts Bitcoin, Ether and USDT. So

this is really amazing news. And of course the question comes up, will Amazon be next? Because of Jeff Bezos's link to Amazon, obviously his influence and much more. So let me give it a detail. Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin has partnered with Shift for Payments to let customers pay for trips to outer space and cryptocurrencies and stable coins.

According to a Monday press release Blue Origins. New Shepherd tickets can be purchased in Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, USDT, and USDC Blue Origin, which has flown more than seventy five passengers past the Carmen line. If I'm saying that right, the internationally recognized boundary where Earth's atmosphere ends and space begins will accept direct payments from popular wallets like Meta

Mass and Coinbase. Shift For CEO Taylor Lawber said the company was thrilled to extend its vision of revolutionizing commerce beyond Earth. Alex Wilson, head of crypto as Shift for, said crypto and stable coins will likely become an increasingly popular way to pay for high end purchases. So, folks, this is adoption news, I mean incredible, right, And once again is Amazon around the corner. I do believe eventually Amazon, Walmart and all these big retailers are going to accept crypto.

They may be a bit slower because they have a lot of moving parts and components, a lot of different products, if the products at different evaluations of prices and so forth, so you know, this is where it may take them a bit longer. But I think they will eventually because crypto is getting the clarity from legislation. It's getting mainstream adoption. It's here to stay, clearly, So it's just matter of time, it's not a matter of if. So let's see who

else follows. But this is huge, huge adoption news. Now, folks,

Chainlink ICE Markets

we got huge news around chain Link. Many of you know I'm a link holder. I'm very bullish on this project. Well, they have partnered with the Intercontinental Exchange, and the Intercontinental Exchange also known as ICE, is the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, so they're a massive institution. So the collaboration will allow chain link to now bring high quality derived for X and precious metals data on chain This is why I'm bullish on chain Link. Many

other blockchains use chain links, price feeds and oracles. They have an amazing solution and I'm hoping to get the founder, Sergei Nazarov on the podcast very soon. So this is incredible. I mean, here's a quote from the folks at ICE. With content from over three hundred global exchanges and marketplaces. The ICE Consolidated Feed offers trusted, structured, multi asset class data to banks, asset managers, and ISVs located around the world.

We're happy to work with Chainlink to securely and reliably provide data for on chain markets, which is an important step in growing the global blockchain economy. Folks, this is huge. This is real world adoption by a massive institution, So very very bullish if you're a link holder, I mean pretty incredible, and this is why I hold it it by a portfolio. And obviously, folks, I'm not telling you to go investment. Obviously, do your research, but Link is

getting a lot of adoption now swee. I've added this

SUI Treasury news

to my portfolio over the past year in the dips when when you know, things were crashing, of course in a tire crash. And I don't hold it. I don't have a huge bag of suite, but you know it's been getting a lot of adoption and a lot of vcs backing it well. Sweet treasury company Mill City Ventures adds twenty million dollars more of the token at ace like discount. So we continue to see the general trend of crypto treasury strategies grow, and it's expanding beyond Bitcoin

obviously Ethereum, Sweet Solana, XRP, and much more. There's even a company doing a light cooin, so incredible what's happening on the treasury front. So Mill City Ventures, this Sweet Digital Asset Treasury, supported by the Tokens Foundation and other large holders, added over twenty million dollars worth of suite at a discount to market prices. The Nasdaq listed company added over five point six million suite at an average price of three dollars and sixty five cents per token.

Mill City has an arrangement to acquire Tokens directly from the Swie Foundation at a discount, So that's how most of these folks are doing it. And again, incredible stuff. This is certainly going to help help the price. You know, as you have these treasury companies buying and they're putting it out there and they do the press release and so forth, you know it's going to drive a lot of liquidity and fomo and so on and so forth. And not just for Sweet, the same thing for XRP, Salana,

Ethereum and much more. Man, there's a lot of ethereum by happening right now for treasury companies. Joe Lubin's Sharp Link, the gaming company, they've been buying incredible amounts of ether. So the one thing I've been saying though, you know, I'll reiterate myself that there's a bit of a bubble forming here and you could see some of these companies, not all, some collapse in the bear market because of poor management, and some of them might you know, raised

too much debt, kind of over leverage themselves. And we've seen historically history has taught us too much leverage in the system. You know what's going to happen, right, some sort of flush out, some sort of crash. So that's where I'll be backing up the truck to buy the bloody bear market and getting ready for the next bullmarket. All right, folks, that's the news. Let me know what you think. Leave your thoughts and comments below. By the way, I have two major interviews this week that I want

to let you guys know. I'll be interviewing Sean Agarwall coinbase. It's the VP of corporate and business Development. We're going to talk about coin basis partnership with JP Morgan and PNC Bank to offer a crypto. You don't want to miss that. And I'll be also talking to you Vall Ruse, who is the co founder and CEO of Digital Asset. They are the developers and builders of the Canton Network, which is a new layer one blockchain targeted specifically for

financial institutions like banks and much more. And they raise one hundred and thirty five million dollars from Goldman, Sachs and Sitadel and others. So that's going to be a really great conversation to learn why they're building this specific blockchain versus using the ones out there. So these are two major interviews I'll be bringing you guys.
