a trade I took yesterday was

SOL/USD short after "Rex-ETF announcement"

reasoning was very simple, DB posted

"*REX-OSPREY SOLANA ETF WITH STAKING SET TO BEGIN TRADING WEDS, CEO SAYS"

No-one, absolutely no-one heard of "Rex-Osprey" as ETF issuer before, so I assumed its a complete nothingburger

The issuers that are imo-worth it are Fidelity (please see James Seyffarts post)

SOL ETF "final dates" are in mid-october

SOL ETFs with Staking will be approved, i just dont expect them to be approved (or relevant) in early July - hence the intraday short.

these two drama queens make our bags go up and down…

TRUMP, ASKED ABOUT DEPORTING MUSK, SAYS HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK

(I will post more, but refuse to post the regular stuff like "oooh ETFs are buying, Saylor is buying"

yeah no shit, they are and will continue to do so)

Interesting argument I made people make is that we have a brand new Quarter (Q3) and H2 that could lead to some rebalancing in tradfi portfolios (might explain the BTC & ETH strength today)

happy weekend & see you next week

i reckon the massive bid (on everything) is front-run of "Big Beautiful Bill" vote which Final Vote is early thursday morning (today)

since the bill leads to massive Money BrrRrrr (printing)

watching "Bitcoin Treasuries Digital Conference"

(first guy speaking has thick french accent so be careful)

Bitcoin flipped Amazon in Market Cap

Bitcoin is just incredible. Being a stubborn BTC maxi has paid off.

Today there will be Genius Act & Clarity Act vote (one of the two, at least), we are currently in something White House themselves called "Crypto Week"

TLDR: Good for ETH, DeFi, legislation yada

If you have NEVER seen Genius Act or Clarity act
-> run this link thru ChatGPT, just ask it "Explain like im 5"

As for Macro/TradFi, I think we have a bit of "free ride" until July 30th which is FOMC, 31st is PCE and August 1st NFPs

We are also in earnings season, link to bookmark is below for overview

I wonder if some publicly traded company discloses holdings of crypto

I am not a fan as using Trump as source for anything - but

TRUMP: GENIUS ACT WILL BE PASSED TOMORROW, SPOKE TO ALL HOLDOUTS TODAY

-> It has to pass this week, because starting Tuesday there will be a long break until September

Has to pass this week 🙏

Trifecta of who is benefiting from this passing

Circle probably best "indicator"

Tether just minted another 1B $USDT

That's 3B $USDT minted in under 24 hours

If you are interested in Genius act/clarity act vote (later today - expected in 2.5 hrs ish)

Follow Eleanor Terrett (posts on notifications - can unfollow after/if it passes) she does great job reporting in real time

Given how slow the vote was yesterday, I do expect this to pass after many many hours later after voting starts

Clarity Vote has PASSED 🥳 now vote on Genius Act

unfollowing Eleanor (sorry)!

SBET (Sharplink - ETH treasury company) announced 5b shelf offering (read as: going to buy 5b worth of ETH thru ATM program)

has a meeting on July 24th -> we will know more information about their strategy/approach to accumulating ETH

I think it will be very telling what to anticipate with regards to ETH price action medium-term

if you have nothing better to do with your time on Sunday, here is link to SEC filing

on July 31st: Microstrategy earnings - expecting some surprises from Saylor as well regarding new vehicles/products and ponzinomics

SEC APPROVES CONVERSION OF BITWISE 10 CRYPTO INDEX FUND INTO AN ETF (BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, ADA, SUI, LINK, AVAX, LTC, DOT)
