THE DEMOCRATS CRYPTO “RESET” 🏦

BREAKING: Crypto executives meet White House officials to discuss policy, grievances during virtual roundtable

Bitcoin

Crypto industry leaders and top White House officials met for a second time in about a month to discuss future crypto policy.

Participating government officials included:

  • U.S. Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo

  • National Economic Council Director Lael Brainard

  • White House deputy chief of staff Bruce Reed

  • Director of legislative affairs for Vice President Kamala Harris Kristine Lucius

  • Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., organized the event

Participating members from the crypto industry included:

  • Ripple executives Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen

  • Uniswap CEO Hayden Adams

  • Stellar Development Foundation Denelle Dixon

  • Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire

  • Billionaire Mark Cuban

  • Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal

  • Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci

According to a source from The Block the meeting focused on use cases and policy outcomes.

JS tweet

However there was a key difference between this meeting and the one last month.

"The big difference was who attended, which you had Wally and Lael, which are really the most senior level representatives overseeing crypto policy in the Biden administration in terms of non-regulators.”

The Block source

The source continued on:

“So having Lael and Wally there really changed the dialogue to have people who are actually responsible for setting policy."

The Block source

The Source also mentioned that both Wally and Lael were very inquisitive, and this meeting is very much seen as a “moving the ball forward” moment.

However…

According to a FOX Business source, things got a little heated:

"[Crypto] Executives didn't hold back on telling the administration reps how much damage they've done to the crypto industry and to the Democrat Party with their actions against digital assets… They basically just got yelled at."

FOX Business source

The Democrats “reset” on crypto continues.

But, there’s still been no word from Kamala Harris herself…

All in all, we believe it’s very positive that this meeting occurred in the first place.

BORING ZONE THEN BANANA ZONE 🍌

Don’t fear the sell-offs.

Buy them.

That’s how you make generational wealth.

That’s the message out from macroeconomic expert, Raoul Pal.

rpaul

Following the sharp sell-off in markets, Raoul gave an emergency update.

Summed up?

Extend your time horizon, buy the sell-offs, make generational wealth.

“In the end, if your time horizon is long enough, it [sell-offs] won’t matter. If you can buy, that's when you make generational wealth. Real wealth. How you secure your future is taking advantage of the sell-offs and not fearing them.

Raoul Pal

Raoul’s view hasn’t changed. He believes we are still in the ‘boring zone’ which precedes the ‘banana zone’.

bzone1

😴 Boring zone: Period of choppy & downwards price action following the Bitcoin halving.

🍌 Banana zone: Period of parabolic rises in crypto prices.

Although we have seen a ‘boring zone’ in every previous cycle, the current one is caused by some unique factors.

Raoul points these out:

  • Grayscale unwinding Bitcoin trust

  • Grayscale unwinding Ethereum trust

  • Germany selling Bitcoin holdings

  • Mt. Gox selling Bitcoin

  • FTX estate selling Solana

  • Jump trading selling off crypto

  • Miner capitulation (unprofitable Bitcoin miners selling Bitcoin after the halving)

Then, throw in the unwinding of the Yen carry trade & geo-political tensions between Iran & Israel and it’s impressive we aren’t even lower.

However, it’s not all doom & gloom.

The recent shake-out in global markets makes one thing a certainty:

Interest rate cuts & monetary stimulus.

Bitcoin closely tracks global liquidity. This bodes well for prices as we head into Q4.

gliq1

Raoul finished with some advice:

The job of every bull market is to throw you off. Your job is to not part with your tokens. I've explained this many, many times. That is your single job. If you can just not mess this up, keep hold of your tokens, then eventually the banana zone comes and we can realize some of our hopes and dreams.

Raoul Pal

Lots to look forward to. 🍌

MORGAN STANLEY IS HERE 🤑

There’s been a big development in the Bitcoin ETF space

Morgan Stanley has finally joined the party! 🥳 

As of yesterday, Morgan Stanley’s 15,000 financial advisors can now officially recommend IBIT and FBTC to their clients.

Why is this such a BIG deal?

Well these financial advisors manage a sh*t load of money.

We’re talking over $6 trillion.

But there’s a slight catch…

According to Andrew Parish (reputable crypto source), there are some rules put in place for Bitcoin ETF recommendations:

  • Allocations limited to max 3% of portfolio value

  • Not allowed in IRA’s

  • Accounts must be marked as ‘aggressive risk’

  • Net worth must be greater than $1.5 million

Just as Morgan Stanley approved the Bitcoin ETFs, we start seeing serious inflows again…

That can’t be a coincidence right?

British HODL

Yesterday, the Bitcoin ETFs saw $194.6 million in net inflows.

Here’s the daily breakdown:

  • BlackRock IBIT: $157.6 million 🥇

  • WisdomTree BTCW: $118.5 million 🥈

  • Fidelity FBTC: $65.2 million 🥉

Even though Grayscale experienced net outflows of $182.9 million, it was still a solid day for the Bitcoin ETFs.

ETF flows

The biggest surprise of the day came from WisdomTree who saw net inflows of $118.5 million.

Where’d that come from? 🤔 

But we’re only just getting started

Andrew Parish also reported that Wells Fargo and UBS are both set to approve the Bitcoin ETFs shortly.

AP tweet

This is HUGE and what the Bitcoin ETFs have been waiting for since launch.

Remember, these ETFs have been breaking records left right and centre with one hand tied behind their backs.

Things are about to get real crazy. 😎
