Hello everybody. Welcome back to your daily crypto news break. I sincerely hope that you're all doing well and that you're all having a great day.
I feel like something is about to happen. I don't know what and I don't know if I'm the only one who has this kind of inkling going on, but it feels like something major is about to take place and I can't really put my hand on it. A lot of the stuff that we were hearing about in 2025 that was going to happen to the cryptocurrency space in 2026 is starting to take shape. A lot of the news we've been getting has kind of revolved around tokenization, around these new protocols for Bitcoin staking and Bitcoin lending. We've had a lot about stable coins. We've had a lot of news about coins upgrading and updating their systems. A lot of the time frame that we've also been hearing about, oddly enough, is once again within the next couple of weeks, which I still find rather weird just because of general time, you know, what have you. But the the majority of things are I expect to happen around March if not a little bit earlier because this is the the thing that's constantly being pushed our way.
We're no longer dealing with uh just retail investors. The institutions are like here. They are deep within the cryptocurrency space. And it makes me wonder like which domino is about to fall. How are things about to move? A lot of reaction tends to come from interest and movements from Fidelity and Black Rockck, more so Black Rockck as they literally own the world. But anytime that they speak, people tend to listen quite intently, especially when it's about the cryptocurrency space. The next level up from that has to do with this idea of moving everything on chain. Not some things, but anything of value moving on to these coins to this chain to basically solidify the future of the cryptocurrency market and of these coins. I I've I've expressed my disappointment to all of you before how even news like that doesn't really do a lot for a lot of people within the crypto space which I still find completely perplexing. If you heard, if any investor heard that a hundred trillion dollar worth of assets are about to be put onto the cryptocurrency, you know, these chains and stuff like that, I think any any normal person would begin, you know, frothing at the mouth attempting to try and make some of this money as well.
The name of the game right now is tokenization. And if you are into it, if you're paying attention to it, if you plan on profiting from it, I give you a golf clap because so many other people aren't. Black Rockck is really, really serious about this. The other thing is they keep mentioning that we are as we logically are that we're at the very beginning of this. This isn't like a and this is the thing that causes retail investors to leave because retail investors want everything right now. I'll give it to you this way. If you had a time machine and I gave you the option of going back to 1992 to 1996 to 2002 to 2009 like the the very tail end of 2009 to go buy assets. you would fall over yourself. You would literally fall over the machine for a chance to be able to do it. The a lot we we're we're getting a lot of comparisons that the crypto market is somewhere in like the 1990s right now. Everyone knows about the internet. Not many people are really using, you know, like we're we're using it, but our parents aren't. We have some teachers. I I I remember having teachers who were like h I don't we don't really need the internet like that kind of thing. This is where we are with crypto. And the problem is is that Black Rockck and their CEO are speaking very loudly about it and only people who are keen to make money in the future seem to be paying attention.
Black Rockck CEO, his name is Larry Think and COO Rob Goldstein say tokenization is approaching a breakthrough moment, comparing its current stage to the early internet era. The executives argue that the technology could scale far faster than expected. If you didn't hear the numbers before, they're talking about we we we heard this from Black Rockck and Fidelity. They all kind of mimicked each other. They're expecting by the early 2030s for there to be a hundred trillion dollars worth of tokenized assets. If you if you haven't really grasped why I keep telling you to pay attention to it, it's because these these assets will be available to you. This isn't like a thing that they're simply just tokenizing these things to say, "Yeah, we have it on chain." The thing that makes it special and you why you should be listening is because the assets will be stocks, will be bonds, will be real estate, will be other things that give you a yield in some form or fashion because they're onchain. You will have access to them through your cryptocurrency wallets. You will be able to This goes back to the entire staking idea. If you didn't see the video about a month ago, I went on a bit of a rant. One of the ideas is let's say you have Ether. I don't know how much Ether you have. Doesn't really matter. You start staking it. Ethereum's price keeps going really, really high. You realize that the money that you have in Ether that you're getting from staking is giving you a pretty penny. It's giving you about five, six, $7,000 just for doing absolutely nothing. That money you are then able to use to buy the assets on top of Ethereum. You can literally buy homes that like the fractions of homes that are listed on Airbnb. So you start getting passive income from it. This is the way that you enter the real estate market. How you enter the art market. You decide actually I want to start getting some stocks. They're tokenized on the chain. You essentially have first dibs. You're already part of the ecosystem. you have money that's making other money that allows you to buy these things and then you begin to ramp it up. Every time that you buy something, that thing is making you money. So, you're no longer just making money from Ether staking or XRP staking or Cardano staking or in the future, Bitcoin staking. You're making it from these other 16 items that you also just purchased. The passive income that you make from those, you use to scoop up more items. By the end of the year, you own tokenized portions of thousands of different assets which are all paying you completely onchain and the money gets deposited into your wallet. This is this is the next step of finance. This is where we are like it's not like wishful thinking or things might be cool. This is where it's going.
This acceleration may change the way traditional and digital assets operate across global markets. No, it's going to. You no longer have to think you can literally buy one 100, you know, whoever owns the asset. They put it on chain and they fractionalize a home into, you know, 100,000 different, you know, pieces on the actual thing. You decide, I'm going to buy 500 of them. You own like that portion of that home. any money that that home is making you like it's that's that's your money. It's it's it's it's it's Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot going on. Um as this cooperation deepens, they foresee investors gradually moving away from maintaining separate portfolios for traditional and digital assets. accordingly, a unified digital wallet capable of holding various Oh my gosh, this is going to be crazy, guys. And we're like, we're here. This is the weird part. We're not talking about something in the future like all this crap is happening this year. Accordingly, a unified digital wallet capable of holding various asset classes could become standard, simplifying the investment experience. you will be able to, and I'm going to say this out loud because it feels like that's the next step. Uh Robin Hood, like the the trading app, they recently announced that they just bought, I think, one or two different clearing houses that are uh registered with the CFTC. And basically, they're going to have something like this. you will be able in the future through platforms like Robin Hood, I will assume, uh, PayPal will also get into it as well. Coinbase, of course, is going to have it. Like these kinds of things. You'll be able to open your app and literally see in the marketplace like things that that are for sale, that are going on for sale. It'll tell you as you're scrolling down, someone just put, you know, this house in Malibu to tokenized onto the market. Do you want to buy some? Each share of of of the thing costs $48. The return rate on your $48 is going to be 3.7%. And you go, cool. I want to buy a,000 of them. You will start see literally seeing the money trickle into your like this is what's going to Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy.
Their optimism is reflected in Black Rockck's own activity. The firm, which manages over 13.4 trillion US in assets, has become a leading supporter of tokenization. It says Larry Frink was once skeptical of crypto. That's a lie. These people, they they run these mega companies. The idea that they sat there at some point and went money, no, I don't want more of that is nonsense. But the narrative usually is at some point the light bulb goes off and they go, hm, I like this crypto thing. No, they've known about it before even I did, before any of you. They've looked into it and they found a way to make money from it. when you start talking about the idea of tokenization and all these people buying up all this Ether and all this Bitcoin and all these assets, that's the reason why they're into it. It's it's going to be an easy way to make extreme amounts of money. Uh Frink has changed his view as institutional use cases became clearer. The pair says early crypto hype obscured the underlying benefits of tokenizing real world assets, a trend they believe is now gaining broader acceptance. They also already for those of you who don't know uh Black Rockck already also has their own uh tokenized fund and there will be many more that will be rolled out. The interesting part is that this is so we've heard the majority of this is supposed to be on top of Ethereum. That's the really interesting part that we are waiting for. We're waiting for there are multiple companies who are announcing that they're going to be launching uh tokenized funds or simply tokenizing things on the Ethereum blockchain very very soon. There will be other blockchains as well, but if you followed the news, it is mainly been Ethereum in the news. You are perfectly capable of tokenizing assets on Bitcoin, on XRP, on Cardono, on Salana as well. It's just more of a we keep hearing the word Ethereum for this.
Yeah, this this is what I I mentioned and I meant earlier. I feel like something is about to happen. The news is too close together. We keep hearing about it. It's not some kind of like a yeah, you know, we think in 10 years people might use this. It's always kind of like a now. It's always like a this is going to happen. This is taking place. We're looking at 2026 for release. That that kind of uh news story. Uh I would expect in all honesty something in the next three months to begin to roll out. That could be anything from Robin Hood to a a retail tokenized something that some company is offering on Vanguard or through a Black Rockck ETF service or Coinbase announcing I I think it's these things have been worked on in 2025, but I think like a mainstream one is going to enter it. It will literally just be like a market where you can just kind of if you ever use any kind of an app to purchase stocks or to purchase crypto, it's going to just be that. You will click on something, you'll see what the home looks like, what the car looks like, what the art looks like, and you'll be able to start purchasing it. I don't understand how people couldn't be excited about this, especially when it's all automated. So many people are excited about AI and what AI is going to bring and how AI is going to you forget that AI also brings like automation. You like when you talk about like AI agents, you will be able to essentially hire if you will an AI agent monthly and say keep reinvesting my money. Anytime I make money, automatically buy some kind of an asset that will make me more money. I think a lot of people don't understand. So I I think people get the idea of crypto. Got it. But this I feel is obscure to a lot of people. The people who catch on to this, who listen, who buy the because these asset prices are also going to go up in price. like that the the the fragments of the house you buy aren't going to remain that price forever. You will be able to sell them off as well. I mean, why would you? That house will make you perpetually money forever. That's what's going to make a lot of you very rich is this constant accumulation of assets. Anywh who, yeah, that's the Black Rockck CEO and COO talking once again about tokenization and how it's going to change the world and how we're really early and all these other types of things. Uh, so I tip my hat in your direction and I do say good luck because I really want everyone to be on board for this one. That's the Black Rockck news. And yeah, let's move on.
Also in the news, a company by the name of Block Rise, Netherlandsbased Block Rise, a fully a Bitcoin only firm founded in 2017, has received a markets in crypto assets or a micica registration from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets, the AFM. The license authorizes custody, trading, asset management, and Bitcoin collateralized lending for clients across the entire European Union. Yeah, we are at the doorway of every company getting into crypto in some form or manner. It's no longer just about buying crypto, holding Bitcoin, having it on your portfolio. It's about making your own trading platform. It's about being able to have the licenses to be able to custody for banks and institutions as well. If you missed the other uh Bitcoin lending news that we had, this is also a very big thing. People are trying to figure out other ways for Bitcoin to have yield. And one of the other ways that they figured it out is through lending of of some sort. This will continue to grow, especially as Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market expand. Block Rise now offers loans in euros secured by Bitcoin. They are currently only available to corporate clients. This is how it always works. They only offer these things to people who have a tremendous amount of money, if you will. Uh simply because I think it's easier regulatory wise. There's a big difference between allowing 2.7 million people to do this as opposed to like 300 major clients. Loans start at 20,000 with a current interest rate of 8%. Yeah. As subject to monthly review, the company manages approximately $116 million US in client Bitcoin under a semicustodial model using hardware security modules. It says Micah is the basis for a block rise to provide Bitcoinbacked loans only provisioning to business clients in order to stay within the like I said yeah the regulatory constraints is probably they're legally they would be legally able to do this for everyone but millions of people do kind of muddy it yeah everyone's uh announcing that they're launching these kinds of things for money for um yield for their clients and stuff like that as well. We're getting a lot of there's still a lot of Micah news. MICA like the actual regulation I believe within No, no, no. Micah is not just within the European Union. I think it's multiple other I think it's multiple other places as well, but we're getting some news traveling in our direction about this as well. This is going to be a a revelatory year when we get to December. looking at just how much money there was to be made, how high prices went up, uh, and who benefited most from it, and who paid attention. Yeah, that's the block rise news. I we haven't I can only imagine since 2017, they probably have a hefty amount of Bitcoin like for themselves, but we haven't they've never been in the news before. Fascinating. Nope. Yeah, that's the blockerized news. Okie dokie. Let's move on.
I'm almost certain none of you could have ever begun to possibly imagine what this news could be about. JP Morgan um is a bank. I know that. You know that. I was I was trying to say something nice. JP Morgan years ago made sure that they went on a rather impressive crusade against the cryptocurrency market talking negatively about it. Crypto has no purpose. It has no use case. JP Morgan is uh Jamie Diamond actually is the one who's credited with saying uh blockchain not Bitcoin, which doesn't make a lot of it makes sense, but it also was like please have several seats. And then that's when we figured out, if you were here in the olden days back in 2018, uh I made a couple of videos and I showed you you can find evidence of this quite easily. Uh JP Morgan was bad mouthing Bitcoin because they were obsessed with another coin. It starts with an E and ends with Ethereum. Yeah. JP Morgan Chase was one of the first uh gigantic entities that joined the enterprise Ethereum Alliance. They are a consortium, a large number of corporations, banks, entities, family offices, uh central banks who announced back in 2017 their support for Ethereum that they were going to build on it. they were going to use it in some sort of capacity. And as we've been told, 2026 is is the year of doing. Here we are. JP Morgan Asset Management has entered the rapidly growing tokenized finance space with the launch of their first onchain money market fund. Yes, you heard that correctly. JP Morgan has released a tokenized money market fund. It's called the My Onchain Net Yield Fund or or MN Y. That is the literal name of the fund. The My Onchain Net Yield Fund or Mani MY. The fund is now live on Ethereum. Yeah, crazy, right? Marking a milestone for one of the world's largest financial institutions. This thing is already on the Ethereum network. Do you understand what I am saying? One of the largest banks on the planet has openly announced because there was a bit of the word's not fear. Uh people for a while now announced that these it it's similar to like the the Ripple and XRP thing. Uh no one's going to use it. No one's going to do so and so. And if they do, they're that that kind of Uh-huh. Uh and people proclaimed that years ago that institutions would never ever I think this is just specialty. Uh there was a thing a couple of years ago where we heard news that banks and governments were actually buying up Bitcoin. And if you weren't here, a lot of people, especially on Twitter, like, geez louise, were like, "Fake news. It's not real. Banks would never use Bitcoin because Bitcoin's decentralized." And I was like, "That's not how money works. That's not how these They don't really care about decentralization. they figured out a way to make trillions of dollars from this new asset class, but people didn't believe it. So even upon showing people the enterprise Ethereum alliance and they're like 500 clients which are all just mega banks and very rich institutions and they're proclaiming we are going to be building on top of this chain which tells me that JP Morgan probably has a lot of ether but I digress. Yeah, this is the first one. M O N Y is powered by Kexis digital assets JP Morgan's multi-chain tokenization platform and is structured as a 506C private placement making making it available exclusively to qualified investors. Subscriptions are handled through Morgan Money, the firm's institutional liquidity management and trading platform, which integrates both traditional and blockchainbased assets. They said, and I quote, "By harnessing technology alongside our deep expertise in active management, were able to provide clients with advanced, innovative, and coste effective capabilities that help them achieve their investment goals. These people are uh quite interesting. Uh, market money funds have long been a core liquidity tool for institutions prized for stability and predictable yield. JP Morgan says the launch of Mooney reflects a broader industry shift towards placing traditional financial instruments on public blockchain networks where programmability and interoperability can unlock new efficiencies such as making more money in a very uh programmed style.
Yeah, I am quite I wouldn't use the word happy, but it is interesting to see that nearly everything we were told would happen this year is actually beginning to uh take shape. We are uh going to start seeing more stable coin news. That one I feel is probably going to be around February, March, somewhere around that time frame. I'm feeling that we're going to start having a lot of banks begin to announce, hey, we're launching our central bank digital currency in May. We're going to be launching this at the end of July. That kind of thing, I think, is swinging towards us. But what's currently the thing taking shape is any kind of energy revolving around um interest rates dropping or potentially futurely dropping uh dd dollararization and basically the debt levels of the United States rising so high that more money should begin to flow into a large number of assets. The predictions still are early this year, early remember early this year, we have a a price prediction, I think it was from Grayscale of a $250,000 Bitcoin and um a 7 to9,000 Ethereum. That would completely send the cryptocurrency market into the stratosphere price-wise. Like those numbers would look absolutely ridiculous. and low comparative to the amount of money and people who would throw themselves at the market for a chance to make those kinds of returns and those are the low numbers for this year. So once again in a couple of weeks all should be revealed. We will know things about the interest rate. we will have the 20 millionth Bitcoin and we will see if for certain the uh four-year cycle is actually done for and just how much money there is going to be uh to make in the cryptocurrency space because I am very interested very interested in seeing if we get a solid 8 to 10x 8 to 10x in prices by the time about 10 months have rolled by. Yeah, tokenization is going to be big. Um, I do hope that you've all enjoyed. I do hope that you all are having a great day. Hope that you're all having a great morning, afternoon, evening, wherever you are, wherever the heck you might be. I do hope it is absolutely fantastic. Thank you all once again for watching, listening, liking, commenting, and supporting. and I will most certainly be talking to you all soon. See you.
