WE’RE SO BACK 🏦

BREAKING: Trump Orders Creation of Sovereign Wealth Fund

Annnnddddddd we're back…

What a difference 24 hours can make…

Now that the “trade war” has been put on hold (for the next 30 days minimum), Bitcoin and the wider crypto market experienced a sharp rebound.

But there’s a bigger reason that the crypto markets rebounded so quickly…

Trump just signed an executive order directing Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick to create the first ever US Sovereign Wealth Fund.

This is a HUGE deal.

And incase you don’t know, here’s a quick explainer on what a Sovereign Wealth Fund actually is:

A sovereign wealth fund (SWF) is like a giant savings account owned by a country. The goal is to invest this money in stocks, bonds, real estate, or other assets to grow wealth for the country and help fund future projects or emergencies.

So why is this so big for crypto?

Well the 2 men in charge of this SWF are both well-known Bitcoin bulls…

And whilst there was unfortunately no mention of Bitcoin or crypto during the executive order signing…

Three months ago, Howard Lutnick had this to say in an interview with Anthony Pompliano:

On top of this, Senator Cynthia Lummis (Creator of the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Bill) posted the following on twitter:

(Hinting that this SWF could be used to purchase Bitcoin)

Keep in mind, this is all just speculation at the moment.

There’s been no word on whether this SWF will include Bitcoin or crypto.

However…

We may not have to wait long until more details are revealed.

Later today, Crypto Czar David Sacks will be hosting a press conference regarding digital assets.

Big things are cooking… 🧑‍🍳

Well, now’s your chance.

That’s the latest message out from Hunter Horsley.

Hunter Horsley is the co-founder & CEO of Bitwise, who currently have 41,768 Bitcoin in their Bitcoin ETF.

Yesterday, he dropped some timeless advice:

It echoes the message Binance founder CZ shared last month:

No one looks back and respects the guy who panic sold.

Something to think about. 💭

STREAK HITS FOUR 🔥

The streaks continues. 🔥

For the fourth week in a row, Digital asset funds saw net inflows totalling $527 billion.

That’s a notable drop off compared to the prior weeks $1.9 billion in inflows, it’s still impressive regardless.

Year-to-date inflows are now up to a solid $5.29 billion.

Let’s break it down.

As always, Bitcoin came out on top with net inflows of $486 million.

Ethereum suffered the most this week, experiencing net outflows of $0.3 million.

Whilst XRP continued it’s impressive run with net inflows of $14.7 million.

The United States saw net inflows of $474 million for the week.

Similar sentiment was also seen in Switzerland and Germany who saw inflows of $57.9m and $22.3m respectively.

Canada unfortunately experienced net outflows of $43 million, likely in response to the threat of tariffs.

Despite the overall inflows being positive for the week, the intraweek flows were quite volatile…

Monday saw net outflows of ~$530 million due to the DeepSeek news which rocked markets.

However the market quickly recovered with over $1 billion in inflows later in the week.

Something tells us we’ll likely see a similar story play out this week…

With the worlds shortest trade war now put on pause for the time being…
