RAY DALIO DOUBLES DOWN 🏦

BREAKING: Billionaire investor Ray Dalio recommends 15% allocation in long-term assets like bitcoin and gold

Ray Dalio just sounded the alarm - and he’s pointing to Bitcoin…

The billionaire founder of Bridgewater Associates - once the world’s largest hedge fund - just issued a stark warning about the U.S. economy:

His message?

America’s spiralling debt and looming currency devaluation are no longer distant threats - they’re here.

Dalio believes the U.S. government will need to issue a staggering $12 trillion in new debt just to keep functioning.

And it’s not just a U.S. problem.

Like the 1930s or the 1970s, he says Western economies are entering a full-blown ‘debt doom loop’ — a spiral of borrowing, devaluation, and decline.

So what does one of Wall Street’s most legendary investors recommend?

That’s not a typo.

Dalio - who once suggested just 1–2% in Bitcoin - now says 15% of your portfolio should be in hard money.

And while he still leans toward gold personally, he openly acknowledges Bitcoin is gaining ground as a viable hedge in a world where fiat is losing trust by the day.

He’s still skeptical of BTC becoming a true reserve currency.

But he is grouping Bitcoin alongside gold as an “effective diversifier” and “store of value” in a broken financial system.

The takeaway?

If Ray Dalio thinks fiat currencies are on life support…

Then Bitcoin isn’t just a risky bet anymore.

It’s the escape hatch. 🛟

ETHEREUM MELT UP 🫠

Pentoshi is back - and he’s not holding back.

The pseudonymous macro king just dropped a fresh Ethereum update, and the message is clear:

This thing’s heating up. Fast.

If you’re not familiar with Pentoshi, he’s a technical analyst who regularly posts his charts, trades, and macro predictions on X.

We track him closely - because his calls are ridiculously accurate. (He spotted the ETH breakout weeks before it started)

This week, he followed on with his ETH predictions:

Here’s what he’s seeing:

1. ETH’s chart is coiling for a breakout 📈

Pentoshi sees price action tightening below $4K.
That’s the final resistance before open skies.

This is the same setup he nailed on BTC in early Q1.

2. Treasury buyers are piling in 💸

New ETH treasury companies - like Bitmine and SharpLink - are barely a month old…
And already fighting for a slice of the supply.

Pentoshi thinks they want at least 1% each.

3. The melt-up phase is here 🫠

He’s not calling a top.
He’s not calling a dip.

He’s calling what’s happening right now:
A melt-up.

That phase where logic pauses and price accelerates.

Ethereum’s gearing up to continue it’s run.

And if Pentoshi’s right?

We haven’t seen anything yet. 🚀

THIS STREAK IS HEATING UP 🔥

Digital asset funds just posted their 15th straight week of inflows.

A whopping $1.9 billion poured in last week alone.

That pushes month-to-date inflows to a record-breaking $11.2 billion, smashing the previous high of $7.6B from December 2024.

Let’s break it down.

Ethereum stole the show, pulling in $1.59 billion - its second-best week on record.

That brings ETH’s year-to-date inflows to $7.79 billion, already beating all of 2024.

Solana and XRP followed with strong performances, attracting $311.5M and $189.6M respectively.

Bitcoin, meanwhile, saw $175 million in outflows - a rare blip in its dominant ETF-driven run.

Regionally, the U.S. led by a mile, with $2.04 billion in inflows.

Switzerland followed with $75.7m, then Germany ($69.9m) and Australia ($11.4m).

Meanwhile, Hong Kong, Canada, and Sweden saw outflows of $160.0m, $84.3m, and $30.8m respectively.

The rotation is real.

You’re watching the trend shift happen in real time - institutions are pivoting into altcoins.

According to CoinShares, this is being driven by two forces:

1. Soaring enthusiasm for non-Bitcoin assets

2. Anticipation of U.S. altcoin ETFs on the horizon
