THREE MORE DAYS 🏦 

BREAKING: Trump to make crypto a national priority in upcoming executive order

Only 3 more days until Trump’s inauguration.

And 3 more days until the bull run of all bull runs potentially kicks off…

According to a report from Bloomberg, Trump intends to issue an executive order that would set crypto as a national policy priority.

Bloomberg’s source states that Trump aims to enhance government collaboration with the crypto industry.

To do this, they’ll be establishing a crypto advisory council. (David Sacks is likely the head of this council)

But that’s not all…

The Washington Post also reported that one of Trump’s executive orders may include repealing the SEC’s controversial SAB 121.

Quick recap: SAB 121 mandates that entities custodying crypto assets for customers must recognize those assets as liabilities on their balance sheets. No company wants to do this, which has resulted in less mainstream adoption of crypto.

Trump repealing SAB 121 would be massive news for the mainstream adoption of crypto.

And we’ve got even more…

The New York Post has reported that Trump intends to create a strategic crypto reserve to position the US as the leader of the crypto industry.

And we’re not just talking about a Bitcoin strategic reserve here…

According to the report, Trump wants to establish an “America-first” strategic reserve that focuses on coins founded in the US.

Some of the largest cryptocurrencies founded in the US include USDC, Solana & XRP.

It’s safe to say the next few days are going to get crazy with constant news coming out about Trump’s intentions with crypto.

Will he deliver?

Only time will tell, not long to go now… 😎

EASIEST WAY TO GET RICH 🤑

It’s never been easier to get rich.

The secret? One simple thing.

The problem? Most people just can’t do it.

That’s the hard truth, straight from Robert Kiyosaki.

You’ve most likely heard of Robert Kiyosaki - he’s a real OG of the investing world.

He authored the best selling personal finance book of all time: Rich Dad Poor Dad. ✍️

This week, Kiyosaki explained why Bitcoin has made getting rich easier than ever:

All you have to do?

Hold it.

One of our favourite statistics in Bitcoin is this:

At any point in Bitcoin’s history, if you had held it for at least 4 years, you would be up on your investment.

It really is that simple.

Here’s how that looks visually:

Kiyosaki then tweeted his prediction for 2025:

We’re buying more too. 😉 🥂

COMPLETE FREE FALL 📉

Today we’ll be checking in on the amount of Bitcoin available for sale on exchanges.

Here’s how to interpret this metric:

• Decreasing exchange balances: Bullish indicator as it signals a shift towards long-term holding 🐂

• Increasing exchange balances: Bearish indicator as coins being transferred to exchanges are more likely to be sold 🐻

Currently there is 2,767,677 Bitcoin available for sale on exchanges.

That’s only ~13.97% of the entire circulating supply.

And as you can see, this metric has been in complete free fall.

Year-to-date, this metric has already fallen by 29,621 Bitcoin.

That’s ~$3 billion at today’s prices

Typically as the price of Bitcoin increases we see exchange balances increase.

Just look at the last cycle peak as an example.

But this times different…

This time investors are holding out for MUCH higher prices before letting go of their coins.

And we’re seeing Bitcoin being taken off of exchanges at an accelerating rate. 🚀 

CRACKING CRYPTO 🥜

Litecoin ETF bid gains traction, lifting prices and trading volume. SEC engagement fuels speculation as Canary Capital's amendment boosts Litecoin ETF prospects.

Solana ETFs may take until 2026: Bloomberg Intelligence. With lawsuits still pending over Solana’s classification as a security, SOL ETFs will likely have to wait until next year for their debut.

Bitcoin Revisits $100K as Trump Inauguration May Spur a Breakout. Wednesday's price action for bitcoin was the fourth time it exceeded the key $100,000 price level.

Trump's Treasury pick Scott Bessent says he sees 'no reason' for a US CBDC. Some Republican lawmakers have been staunchly opposed to a CBDC and say a CBDC could open the door to government surveillance of peoples' transactions.
