MONSTER WEEK FROM THE ETFs šŸ¦

BREAKING: Bitcoin ETFs See Best Weekly Inflows Since May

bitcoin

The US Bitcoin ETFs just had an insane week.

Last week saw $1.05 billion in net inflows. šŸ¤‘

That’s the largest weekly inflow since May. (and it also extends the daily inflow streak to six)

Here’s the weekly breakdown:

  1. BlackRock IBIT: $522.5 million

  2. Fidelity FBTC: $358.1 million

  3. ARK Invest ARKB: $74.7 million

flows

Grayscale also had a much better week (relatively speaking) with only $35.3 million in outflows.

With inflows of over $1 billion for the week, the Bitcoin ETFs purchased a combined 18,420 Bitcoin.

That’s 5.85x the amount of mined Bitcoin entering the supply for the week.

July is also off to a great start, having already outpaced June’s total Bitcoin haul.

So far the Bitcoin ETFs have purchased 19,932 Bitcoin during July.

And would you look at that…

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is once again above $60,000.

We’re really back. šŸ˜Ž

IT’S REALLY THIS SIMPLE šŸ’Ž

The crypto market is going to $10 trillion this cycle.

Here’s how to not f*ck this opportunity up.

Raoul

In his latest interview, Raoul once again broke down his simple crypto thesis titled:

Don’t f*ck this up

First off, Raoul gave his prediction on where he sees the total crypto market heading this cycle and 2032:

ā€œMy view is $10 - $15 trillion this cycle… But if you just take that rate of growth and extrapolate it out by 2032, you get pretty close to $100 trillion.ā€

Raoul Pal

So if the crypto market is going to $100 trillion by 2023, then what assets should you be in?

Well, here’s how Raoul puts it:

ā€œI don’t care what peoples philosophies are. That’s not how you make money. What you make money on is owning the best performing asset on a risk adjusted basis.ā€

Raoul Pal

And those best performing assets on a risk adjusted basis are:

  • Bitcoin

  • Ethereum

  • Solana

These are the core assets - Invest in these and you’ll capture a large majority of the gains to be made in crypto. (with the least amount of risk)

ā€œUnless something shows that network adoption is slowing. I’m right. So just capture that.ā€

Raoul Pal

Solana was the standout performer last cycle - posting higher returns than both Bitcoin and Ethereum.

And Raoul believes it’ll continue to outperform the big two this cycle.

That’s why Raoul’s portfolio is heavily concentrated on Solana:

ā€œI don’t FOMO into the rest. I just don’t do it… What I do now is really simple, it’s idiot proof. I just put the chart against Solana. If something looks like it’s a sustained trend against Solana, I’ll allocate some capital to it. Only about 10% of my portfolio will I do that kind of stuff. But you can make a lot of money in those.ā€

Raoul Pal

The key idea here is that 90% of Raoul’s portfolio is in the core assets - Solana.

And the remaining 10% he allocates to more riskier picks.

Raoul even mentioned that this strategy of finding riskier plays got him into Dogwifhat and Bonk.

ā€œThe central banks continue to debase currency. If this is the case, then we have the simplest easiest risk taking opportunity of all time. So hyper concentrate [on core assets] is the wayā€

Raoul Pal

To Raoul - it really is that simple. šŸ˜Ž

Just hold on to the core assets and you’ll do perfectly fine this cycle.

THE PERFECT SETUP šŸ“ˆ

Today we’ll be diving into Ethereum’s supply dynamics.

One of Ethereum’s core features is staking.

Staking is when users ā€œlockā€ up ETH to validate transactions and earn rewards.

This ā€œlocked upā€ ETH is effectively removed from the available supply.

That’s why many consider increases in the amount of staked ETH a bullish indicator:

  • The network is more secure

  • Less supply available for sale

  • Increase in the amount of long-term holders

Currently 47,652,910 ETH is being staked.

That’s ~39.74% of the entire circulating supply.

Which is absolutely ridiculous.

In fact, the amount of ETH staked has increased by 263.77% over the last two years.

A testament to the conviction that long-term holders have in Ethereum.

And this is also one of the reasons that many analysts are predicting Ethereum to be more sensitive to the ETF flows. (when they launch)

Since the supply is so tight (exchange balances are also at all-time lows), a dollar into the Ethereum ETFs will be more impactful than a dollar into the Bitcoin ETFs.

It’s almost a perfect setup…
