    massive news today involving Bitcoin
  • 00:00:02
    involving Solana in the United States
  • 00:00:04
    involving XRP why the token is going
  • 00:00:07
    crazy also lower cap altcoin news and
  • 00:00:10
    more highly recommend you watch today's
  • 00:00:12
    entire video if you're invested in
  • 00:00:14
    crypto but starting with Bitcoin and the
  • 00:00:16
    FOMC meeting today breaking news the Fed
  • 00:00:20
    holds interest rates at 4.5% so no
  • 00:00:24
    change and Bitcoin rallied into and off
  • 00:00:27
    of that news and why did Bitcoin
  • 00:00:29
    investors like this well it's because
  • 00:00:31
    it's what the market expected the market
  • 00:00:34
    was pricing in no change and no change
  • 00:00:36
    happened although the expectation for
  • 00:00:39
    2025 still shows two rate cuts this year
  • 00:00:42
    but the confidence level doesn't appear
  • 00:00:44
    high and why is that well it's because
  • 00:00:47
    Donald Trump versus Jerome Powell we're
  • 00:00:49
    really not sure where the economy if
  • 00:00:52
    they'll need more rate cuts than two by
  • 00:00:54
    the end of the year and neither is
  • 00:00:56
    Jerome Powell how much of it is um is
  • 00:00:58
    tariffs so let me say that it is um
  • 00:01:01
    going to be very difficult to have a
  • 00:01:03
    precise assessment of how much of
  • 00:01:05
    inflation is coming from tariffs and
  • 00:01:07
    from from other and that's already the
  • 00:01:09
    case also another reason Bitcoin rallied
  • 00:01:11
    off of this is not just because of what
  • 00:01:14
    Jerome Pal did which is hold rates but
  • 00:01:17
    also because of what Jerome Pal said
  • 00:01:20
    finally a positive Fed balance sheet
  • 00:01:22
    update from the FOMC today in a direct
  • 00:01:25
    quote beginning in April the committee
  • 00:01:28
    will slow the pace of decline of its
  • 00:01:30
    securities holdings by reducing the
  • 00:01:33
    monthly redemption cap on Treasury
  • 00:01:35
    securities from 25 billion to 5 billion
  • 00:01:38
    and what this means to you this is the
  • 00:01:41
    final stretch before the Fed ends
  • 00:01:43
    quantitative tightening which is on the
  • 00:01:45
    journey to get to eventual quantitative
  • 00:01:48
    easing and the cap of the sale of the
  • 00:01:51
    Fed balance sheet was 60 billion last
  • 00:01:54
    May then down to 25 billion and soon
  • 00:01:56
    will be only 5 billion per month signs
  • 00:01:59
    are looking good for quantitative
  • 00:02:01
    tightening to end in midyear let's keep
  • 00:02:04
    tabs on the Bitcoin price and as I get
  • 00:02:06
    more information I will keep you updated
  • 00:02:08
    of course massive XRP news the SEC is
  • 00:02:12
    dropping the Ripple lawsuit ceo Brad
  • 00:02:15
    Garlinghouse issued this statement as
  • 00:02:18
    many of you know just over four years
  • 00:02:19
    ago the United States SEC filed its
  • 00:02:21
    lawsuit against Ripple i'm finally able
  • 00:02:24
    to announce that this case has ended
  • 00:02:27
    it's over of course checking in on how
  • 00:02:29
    this affected the bit uh the XRP price
  • 00:02:32
    we're going to switch over to the XRP
  • 00:02:34
    chart and we
  • 00:02:37
    see a rally of over 10% xrp now trading
  • 00:02:42
    at $2.50 per coin brad Garlinghouse on
  • 00:02:46
    Bloomberg explains what's next the SEC
  • 00:02:48
    has abandoned their appeal and so uh we
  • 00:02:51
    that they filed suit in December of 2020
  • 00:02:53
    we won on the key parts of the case in
  • 00:02:55
    the summer of 23 uh Judge Torres made a
  • 00:02:58
    ruling that XRP in and of itself was not
  • 00:03:01
    a security that's almost a verbatim
  • 00:03:02
    quote the SEC uh filed an appeal about
  • 00:03:06
    eight months ago and what they've now
  • 00:03:08
    agreed is they're going to drop that
  • 00:03:10
    appeal we still have a cross appeal
  • 00:03:13
    pending and so we go from being
  • 00:03:14
    defendant really to plaintiff so we now
  • 00:03:17
    are in the driver's seat to determine
  • 00:03:18
    how we want to proceed are you dropping
  • 00:03:21
    it uh we're going to see we we it feels
  • 00:03:24
    a lot better to be on the offense than
  • 00:03:26
    the defense you know four years we spent
  • 00:03:28
    over $150 million defending that case
  • 00:03:31
    not just for Ripple but for the whole
  • 00:03:33
    industry i think it was really important
  • 00:03:34
    that this SEC the Gendler SEC was really
  • 00:03:37
    trying to bully and continue lawfare
  • 00:03:40
    filing lawsuits and lawsuits and
  • 00:03:41
    lawsuits against crypto companies that's
  • 00:03:43
    over now and I think that's great for
  • 00:03:45
    the US crypto industry and frankly great
  • 00:03:47
    for crypto at large some of you were
  • 00:03:48
    asking me about playing the breakout and
  • 00:03:50
    just two things to understand number one
  • 00:03:53
    XRP has been bought up from this demand
  • 00:03:56
    zone many many times in 2025 so we still
  • 00:04:00
    have to see if we can break out from
  • 00:04:03
    this downward trend that we've been
  • 00:04:05
    rejected from many times in 2025 just
  • 00:04:08
    like we've been bought up from this
  • 00:04:10
    demand zone in this upward trend line
  • 00:04:12
    many times in 2025 and there's two ways
  • 00:04:15
    to play this number one you can set your
  • 00:04:17
    if you're bullish you can set your long
  • 00:04:19
    now we're on market open the long and
  • 00:04:22
    then set your takerit and stop loss set
  • 00:04:25
    your takeprofit to just underneath this
  • 00:04:28
    breakout territory now if we do break
  • 00:04:30
    out you don't want to take a 100% profit
  • 00:04:33
    you just want to take your principle out
  • 00:04:34
    maybe take 20% off the table keep seeing
  • 00:04:37
    if you can ride it up or if you're more
  • 00:04:39
    of a breakout trader then you set the
  • 00:04:41
    limit you say I want to set my long when
  • 00:04:45
    we hit around the two let's go right
  • 00:04:46
    underneath actually let's go a little
  • 00:04:48
    over
  • 00:04:51
    $2.7868 XRP you would switch the order
  • 00:04:54
    price on your limit order to 78 and then
  • 00:04:58
    still as a pro trader set your stop-loss
  • 00:05:01
    so you don't get wrecked link down below
  • 00:05:03
    if you want to follow along and huge
  • 00:05:05
    news for Solana the first Solana ETFs in
  • 00:05:08
    history will launch in the US tomorrow
  • 00:05:11
    actually a better way to say that would
  • 00:05:13
    be the first Solana ETFs in the US are
  • 00:05:17
    set for their trading debut on March
  • 00:05:18
    20th meaning we've had Solana ETFs
  • 00:05:21
    launch in Brazil maybe even Canada this
  • 00:05:24
    is the first time in the USA and this is
  • 00:05:26
    more of a yes significant step but no
  • 00:05:31
    will not affect the price of Solana that
  • 00:05:33
    much because it's important to
  • 00:05:35
    understand that this is a futures ETF
  • 00:05:37
    not a spot ETF meaning the issuers nor
  • 00:05:40
    the customers they don't actually have
  • 00:05:42
    to buy real Solana they're just trading
  • 00:05:45
    the price and also this is from
  • 00:05:47
    Florida-based Volatility Shares LLC not
  • 00:05:51
    somebody I have ever heard of it would
  • 00:05:53
    be much more significant if it was a
  • 00:05:55
    Black Rockck or Arc Invest but this is
  • 00:05:57
    just the natural step to eventually get
  • 00:06:00
    there this is very significant but don't
  • 00:06:02
    expect a lot of price action from it
  • 00:06:05
    i'll always keep it honest with you and
  • 00:06:07
    if you're bullish on AI and crypto Chain
  • 00:06:10
    GPT just partnered with Sonic Labs for
  • 00:06:13

    DG pad great to see the innovation and
  • 00:07:30
    big news for Ando coming off the news we
  • 00:07:33
    learned last month so last month you
  • 00:07:35
    already know this ando became the first
  • 00:07:38
    RWA provider on Mastercard multi-token
  • 00:07:42
    network meaning Mastercard chose to work
  • 00:07:45
    with Ando and how this works ando said
  • 00:07:48
    its short-term US government treasury
  • 00:07:50
    fund which is the first tokenized
  • 00:07:53
    realworld asset on the Mastercard
  • 00:07:56
    network will let businesses earn daily
  • 00:07:59
    yield via tokenized assets with a 247
  • 00:08:02
    subscription and redemptions with no
  • 00:08:05
    need for stable coin on-ramps or
  • 00:08:07
    settlement windows this is a landmark
  • 00:08:09
    because it lets traditional people in
  • 00:08:12
    the web two world that know and
  • 00:08:14
    understand Mastercard earn yield and be
  • 00:08:16
    onboarded onto directly to earn yield
  • 00:08:19
    and the news today is this what stable
  • 00:08:22
    coins did for the US dollar ando is
  • 00:08:26
    doing for securities we've used many of
  • 00:08:28
    the same principles from stablecoin
  • 00:08:30
    design to inform what we've done here it
  • 00:08:33
    is no exaggeration to say that we
  • 00:08:35
    believe that what stable coins have done
  • 00:08:37
    for the dollar onto global markets will
  • 00:08:39
    do for securities we believe that with
  • 00:08:42
    the success of yield coins and the
  • 00:08:44
    launch of global markets we're entering
  • 00:08:46
    a new phase in financial markets unlike
  • 00:08:49
    many however we don't believe that this
  • 00:08:51
    new phase need operate outside of
  • 00:08:54
    regulations destroy incumbents or
  • 00:08:56
    fundamentally change the way markets
  • 00:08:58
    operate instead we believe that this
  • 00:09:01
    phase represents the next stage in the
  • 00:09:04
    evolution of financial markets where the
  • 00:09:07
    best of DeFi and the best of tradi
  • 00:09:10
    combine to create markets that are more
  • 00:09:13
    transparent more efficient and more
  • 00:09:15
    accessible you might call it a
  • 00:09:17
    foundational upgrade we call it Wall
  • 00:09:20
    Street 2.0 pay attention to the signals
  • 00:09:23
    on what Wall Street who Wall Street is
