What’s in the Crypto Nutshell Portfolio?

BREAKING: Bitcoin slips below $100,000 as total crypto liquidations hit $463 million

Bitcoin is back under $100K.

Liquidations have blown past half a billion dollars, ETFs are bleeding, and risk assets are getting crushed across U.S. trading hours.

This is the third time this month Bitcoin has lost the six-figure level - a line it held for six straight months.

The tone of the market is clear: fear, exhaustion, and zero patience for uncertainty.

JPMorgan now pegs Bitcoin’s production cost at roughly $94K, up sharply thanks to rising network difficulty.

That’s the new floor institutions are watching, and we’re getting uncomfortably close…

ETF outflows aren’t helping. U.S. spot funds have shed billions over the past two weeks, and whale activity has cooled.

Rate-cut odds have collapsed from 85% to near 50% as the Fed flies blind without October’s CPI and jobs data.

That’s the macro drag right now.

The shutdown starved markets of liquidity, forced the government into a temporary surplus, and sucked momentum out of crypto exactly when it needed follow-through.

Analysts say it’s one of the driest fiscal periods in years.

But that drought is about to end.

With the government now reopened, liquidity is set to reverse hard - the TGA refills, deficits expand again, and fiscal flow returns to markets.

Some analysts expect a “tsunami” of spending as the administration gears up for midterms. (Trump and Bessent have been saying that they’ll be running it hot in 2026)

And beneath the surface, bottom signals are starting to form.

Retail sentiment has flipped deeply negative across Bitcoin, ETH, and XRP - the kind of fear cluster that often marks inflection points.

This is a market clearing out weak hands.

The path remains choppy, but the setup is familiar: rising fear, falling liquidity, aggressive selling - and large buyers quietly absorbing everything.

Crypto doesn’t bottom on good news.

It bottoms when everyone else gives up.

And we’re getting close to that level.

If there’s one thing Grant Cardone is known for, it’s real estate.

The 10X founder built a $4 billion property empire - apartments, office towers, and luxury estates across the U.S.

So when he says he’d rather take Bitcoin than buildings… that’s a big deal.

Here’s what he said in his latest interview:

Grant explained exactly why:

Bitcoin is instant, borderless, and fully in your control - everything real estate isn’t.

Coming from one of America’s loudest property moguls, that’s a huge shift.

Even the ultimate real-state billionaire now sees Bitcoin as the better bet.

The takeaway?

The wealthiest people on earth are starting to realize:

Bitcoin is the new real estate - only smarter, faster, and limitless. 🏙️⚡️

Today we’ll be taking a look at the amount of wallets that hold at least some Bitcoin. (anything greater than 0)

This metric offers a bird’s-eye view of user activity and adoption across the Bitcoin network.

But there’s a slight catch…

One wallet does not equal one user. A user can have many wallets.

What matters here is the trend of the chart.

There are now 54,865,937 wallets holding Bitcoin.

That’s +180,624 in just the last two weeks - and over 2.34 million new wallets added so far in 2025.

The message is clear: adoption isn’t slowing - it’s accelerating.

More holders. More conviction. More resilience through every swing.

Prices fluctuate. The network strengthens. 💪
