ETFs, countries and corporations now hold nearly $200 billion worth of Bitcoin 💰

It used to be geeks and people looking to buy something on the darknet. Now it's banks, companies with trillions under management and sovereign nations...

↗️ The trend is clear — Bitcoin is becoming a global phenomenon, the number of people who want to own it is growing, while the number of coins is limited.

👉 However, it's important to realize that the rising price of BTC does not mean that millions of silly meme coins will rise with it.

Just like in the stock market, shares of dead companies don't magically rise when Apple or Microsoft shares go up.

💵 The crypto market is slowly maturing and learning to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Free advice: When thinking about where to invest in crypto, ask yourself “will I be comfortable holding this coin for the next 5 years?” 🤔

🟡Yellow lines mark the beginning of the final parabolic growth phase of the previous two bull markets. In this phase, the altcoin season was the craziest.

🔵Blue lines mark the end of the previous two bull markets, usually a few months after the final phase started.

As you can see, we are currently stuck between the yellow and blue lines of this cycle. If everything repeats - we will go much higher 🧪

💰 Crypto ETFs, The Latest Developments

The push for crypto ETFs is gaining momentum. With the recent political shift in the U.S., many expect more approvals in 2025 😁

🤑 Solana ETF applications from firms like VanEck and Bitwise are under review. According to Polymarket, there is an 84% chance of approval this year. Institutional interest in Solana is growing, making approval more likely.

🤑 Litecoin ETF filings are also in play, with an 80% probability of approval. Litecoin remains one of the longest-standing cryptocurrencies, but institutional demand for an ETF is still uncertain.

🤑 XRP ETF approval seems less likely in the near term. With only a 40% chance of approval by July 31, 2025, Ripple’s regulatory challenges create uncertainty. If the legal situation improves, chances could increase.

🤑 Ethereum staking ETFs are another hot topic. BlackRock and other firms are exploring staking rewards within Ethereum ETFs. If approved, this could allow investors to earn yield on their ETH holdings.

🪙🪙Franklin Templeton recently filed for a multi-asset crypto ETF. The Franklin Crypto Index ETF aims to track both Bitcoin and Ether. It follows a similar filing by Bitwise on January 31. More diversified crypto ETFs could be coming soon.

As institutional interest grows, the outlook for crypto ETFs continues to evolve. Investors should keep an eye on approval probabilities and regulatory updates ❗️

High expectations cause great disappointment 🤣

The Central African Republic announced the launch of an official meme coin 😐

🇨🇫 The official account of President of the Central African Republic has shared a several post about this new meme coin, however the X page of $CAR was take down very soon after.

⁉️ People are questioing the legitimacy of those tweets, some say that the video posted on the official president's account is AI generated.

Despite the concerns about X accounts being hacked by scammers, the market cap of $CAR reached $880 million at one point 🔼

Not a financial advice, but I wouldn't recommend touching this new coin, even if it's legit 😅

Gold Hits New ATH 🌉↗️

Gold just hit a new all-time high at $2,930/oz, and now banks are calling for $3k+ 💸

Why? Geopolitics, trade wars, inflation, same old story... When gold pumps, someone’s out there hedging big risks.

🤑 Oh, and if Bitcoin had gold’s market cap it’d be sitting at $950k right now

💸 Elon Musk, along with a consortium of investors, has made an offer of $97.4 billion to acquire the organization that controls OpenAI 🤖

Do you think Elon Musk has too much power? Does he own too many companies?

The CEO of OpenAI answers Elon Musk 'no thanks' with a joking offer to buy X for $9.74 billion, Elon responded by calling him a swindler 😂

Such a dispute should be settled in the ring 🥊🥊

President Trump orders the US Treasury to stop producing new pennies 🪙

Fun fact: It costs $0.037 to make $0.01 coin (one penny) 😁

This inefficiency has now been eliminated 👍

Treasury’s $50B Fraud Hole 😐

Department of Government Efficiency headed by Elon Musk uncovered a systemic failure in Treasury’s payment system: missing payment categories, no audit controls, and billions flowing to accounts with no Social Security numbers or verification 😐

💰 Over $100 billion was being moved annually through these gaps. Treasury admitted that half is clear fraud, that's $50 billion per year, $1 billion per week, vanishing into untraceable accounts.

⚖️ Instead of fixing it, 19 state attorneys general sued, not to stop fraud, but to block Treasury officials from accessing their own data. A judge issued an ex parte order, barring oversight.

Billions vanish, officials are blocked, and the system protects itself. Corruption is everywhere 🤦

If your altcoin dropped in value by 60%, you have to wait for 150% pump to break even 👨‍🏫

🧮 This may sound silly, but people really do forget this all the time, especially those who are bad at math.

When it comes to ups and downs, many people forget the asymmetric nature of portfolio percentage movements.
