Viewer Comments and Market Overview
The video starts by addressing viewer comments on topics such as the Federal Reserve's interest rate policies and skepticism towards retail investors winning in the crypto space. It notes that the market is stabilizing after the recent Iran-Israel conflict, with BTC, ETH, Soul, and XRP recovering. The host mentions that the Senate will vote on the stable coin act on Tuesday, which, if passed, will proceed to the House for debate and potential modifications before potentially reaching the President's desk.
Institutional Investment and Market Stability
Despite Middle East tensions and mixed US data, Bitcoin remains steady above $105,000, supported by returning institutional investors stabilizing Bitcoin and Ethereum. BTC ETF saw over $1 billion in net inflows this week. Micro Strategy continues to buy more Bitcoin. Large BTC holders now possess 3.57 million BTC, with whales increasing their reserves.
Donald Trump's Crypto Earnings
Donald Trump reportedly earned over $57 million in 2024 from mistakes in world liberty financial. Trump owns 60% of world liberty, which nets 75% of revenues from its WLFI governance token sales. Trump has stated that crypto is something "we have to do".
Ripple's RLUSD Burn
Ripple burned 20 million RLUSD, which is a normal process for managing liquidity in stable coins. This burn suggests a large-scale redemption occurred, leading to the removal of the equivalent amount of ROUSD from the market. This is a regular supply adjustment to maintain the stable coin's peg and prevent oversupply, ensuring smooth entry and exit for users while maintaining backing and transparency.
Current Market Analysis and Future Outlook
The overall crypto market volume is at $101 billion, down 41%, indicating a calming market after the Middle East tensions. The market cap briefly dropped by $200 billion but is now recovering. BTC inflows are positive, with big players bucking the trend and investing in ETF products. XRP's volume is down to $2 billion, with a resistance point at 218, but increasing support suggests the worst may be over. The host is waiting for the stable coin vote on Tuesday and notes potential hurdles in the House due to anti-crypto representatives. The FOMC meeting is next week, and the host will provide a live stream.
