Hey, guys, Tony here. As you can see, I'm not in my studio. I'm actually traveling. I'm in Los Angeles, California. I'll actually be filming with Discovery to talk about James Howells and his search to recover his hard drive with seventy five hundred bitcoin on it. It's somewhere in a landfill and he's trying to get that. So I'll give you guys more details as I complete my filming. But guys, I had to make this video and mini podcast because
we got huge news today from MasterCard. Folks. I am blown away by the amount of adoption we are seeing. We have crossed the chasm when it comes to is this acid class a fad, a scam, a Ponzi scheme? And there's still people who believe that, And this is why it's important for us to spread the information and the facts. So today MasterCard announce their end to end capabilities to support stable coins, ensuring payments can be made
or received using them anytime, anywhere. Alongside proven leaders across Web three, finance and fintech, we're empowering consumers and businesses to use stable coins as easy as money in their bank accounts. Folks, this is one of the largest credit card companies. We are seeing bank stock exchanges, credit card companies, and the major financial institutions globally adopting crypto in one way to the other. They're building on different blockchains, they're
integrating stable coins, they're tokenizing and doing much more. And let me share some of the other lingo they put out here. Here's one of the title slides they tweeted out powering faster, easier global payments, MasterCard, crypto credential lets, crypto exchange users send and receive digital assets with easy trusted user names. So they're trying to create the ability to move assets more easier, kind of like how you send information via email or you tell someone here's my
social profile. They're trying to set it up that way where you just send the information or you send the funds to the respective address, but to back end it's all handled accordingly, where there's interoperability and the ability to segregate the different funds and the different information, whether it be stable coins, digital assets, tokenize assets, or whatever it
may be. This is incredible. They also said MasterCards multi token network, let's banks use blockchain financial products for faster settlement, reducing time zone friction, and greater transparency. Guys, if you are still on the fence about crypto and this acid class, look at what is happening here. How can you see this? And this is just one example, of course, and still be bearish and still think this is a scam and a ponzi and all that. But I guess this is
a nature of markets, right. Early adopters are going to benefit those who take the time to educate themselves research versus taking secondhand information from sensationalized headlines on mainstream news. This is why you have to sit down and educate yourself about this asset class. It's incredible what's happening, folks. This is a major power move by one of the
largest credit card companies in the world. And as you can imagine, American Express and Visa are not going to sit by idly and watch this happening, right, So we're going to see game theory and all types of competition heat up here. And we also got news that Nexso, the crypto lending platform, they're returning to the United States after exiting in twenty twenty two, so we can finally get some more lending options and staking and much more. This is a very good sign. Here's what the article said.
Crypto lender Nexso will return to the United States after a two year hiatus caused by regulatory challenges. Co founder Anthony Trenchev attributed the move to a more favorable environment for innovation under the Trump administration. Nexso said it now manages eleven billion dollars in assets and will offer its full range of services to US clients, including high yields, savings,
and credit lines. So, folks, I think we're going to start to see staking enable across the board, not only from your crypto exchanges, but I think banks and certain financial institutions want to get involved here because staking allows you to earn higher yield and interest than you do in your current bank account. Right, we've all seen how
these large banks can offer the same type of interest anymore. Likewise, stable coin interest is higher too, So all signs point to this asset class being a huge driver of passive income and much more. Now. There's also big news around Flare and tether so usdto, which is the unified liquidity protocol for USDT, the world's largest stable coin. They are now officially on flair. Many of you. Though I hold
a Flare token, I'm bullish on this token. I currently delegate to earn rewards, and Hugo Fillion tweeted out big green moves fast, globally ubiquitous, and massively liquid. Usdto is a core plank of Flair's defive strat and upcoming XRP five program. So getting this type of adoption with USDT is very big for Flair. It's going to open up a lot of utility, a lot of different use cases, and it's going to help XRP as well for XRP DeFi capabilities on the Flare blockchain. So huge news here, guys,
Exciting times. Now. We also got news that Blackrock bought ten thousand, two hundred and twenty bitcoin today. That's a huge one day inflow. You look at the chart and it shows a big spike, and this is very similar to the spike that I've been sharing with you guys, what we've seen with on chain data from sentiment that
bitcoin whales with wallets of ten or more bitcoin. It's spiking, guys, and bitcoin is looking really good on the charts, even though we're seeing a little bit of a pullback, which is healthy As I mentioned in yesterday's podcast, nothing goes up in a straight line. It's going to build support
levels is going to move. But I think we kind of have the confirmation here that the bottom is in and even if we retest certain price points, so I don't think we're going back to seventy six thousand dollars. So this is looking very good. Bitcoin is comfortably above the two hundred day moving average. Guys, I like what I'm seeing here. Obviously, we need to let the market show us and give us more confirmation. Right. We don't
want to get two bullish here. We want to be balanced because there are always bear scenarios, but I think the higher probability is the bullish scenario playing out here. So, guys, I'm excited. I see the market sentiment shifting. I see global liquidity is rising. The dxy dollar currency INEX is crashing, Bitcoin is showing strength, some all coins are waking up as well, and we also got a lot of stable
coin liquidity is being minted. So over the past week, I've shared with you guys that about three billion dollars of USDT was minted. We'll make that four because today another billion was minted. You know, I've been sharing this data with you guys for a year's now and we've seen eventually this liquidity hits the market and case in point, you know with bitcoins move, so exciting time times ahead. As always have a cash I'll plan guys and know
what you're doing. So that's the news. Folks, be sure to check out our sponsor of this video, which is Uphold. Uphold is a great place to buy your crypto assets, whether it be Bitcoin, xrp Etherreum, Salona, whatever it is.
