The Wolf Of All Streets - Bitcoin Accumulation ERUPTS As The Financial System Cracks! Supply Shock Incoming?
Episode Date: February 25, 2026Bitcoin accumulation is approaching extreme levels at the same time cracks are beginning to show across the broader financial system. As trillions are wiped from global equities amid AI disruption fea...rs, trade tensions rise, and short-term Treasury issuance surges, liquidity conditions are tightening and confidence in traditional markets appears increasingly fragile. Yet beneath the volatility, on-chain data suggests large players are quietly absorbing supply.

There's been massive Bitcoin accumulation in the 60 to 70,000 region or has there.
We're going to discuss an article by CoinDest that is claiming that that is a fact,
but maybe it is a bit misleading.
Either way, clearly there's a lot of interest in Bitcoin, both buying and selling at
these levels, all in the context of a head scratcher of a state of the union address,
and of course, the financial system cracking.
We've got a lot to talk about.
Luckily, I have an amazing guest, the CEO of CoinRout, Ian Weisberger, here to unpack it all.
Let's go.
Good morning, everybody.
Welcome to the Caribbean, where we're having a lovely day here.
I hope that you all are having a great Wednesday.
I tried to stay awake for the State of the Union address last night, but it fell so.
I was watching.
I made it through about 10 minutes, and I caught some mid-dream comments otherwise, so I don't
have so much to unpack as far as the state of the union. I am contractually obligated, though,
to ask you once a month to like and subscribe to the channel because I'm getting in trouble
for not doing that. We do before we bring on Ian to discuss everything that's happening with the market
today. We have an incredible new sponsor. It's kind of weird to call them a sponsor. It's Abra,
because I'm a customer and have been for a long time. I've had Bill Barheight on here a million
times you guys have seen him but uh obviously obra i'm a customer as i said i went to them actually
when i was looking to get a mortgage which is a very difficult process if you own crypto for those
who don't know i was able to very seamlessly take out a loan not only that they went to bat with me
massively with the mortgage company uh all of the crazy accounting that i needed but basically
i was able to take a stack of my bitcoin go over there take a 50% ltv loan use that money as a down payment
and to actually count as part of my net worth.
But they're completely regulated, obviously, by the SEC.
They've gone through every battle you could in the crypto lending market to come out on top.
Just an incredible, incredible platform.
I highly recommend if you're looking to earn yield or other ways to put your coins to work,
if that is in your wheelhouse, that you sign up with Obra to do so.
It's Abra.com slash Wolf is this page right here.
Abra.com slash Wolf.
There's also a link down in the description.
I'm going to be telling you more about them, obviously, into the future.
But all I can say is that I actually use it.
And I trust Bill implicitly who's been on this channel many, many times.
Their team is incredible.
And so I highly recommend that you go check them out.
Now, going to bring on in, I mean, when people see the name Weisberger,
I'm not sure this is the face they expect, but you are the CEO of Coin Routes that Dave often talks about.
It's great to have you here.
We've obviously spoken on Cryptotown Hall quite a few times.
Yeah, thanks for having me, Scott.
Of course.
So listen, I want to first of all start with the idea here that we've seen massive demand
in this 60 to 70K region.
Because to be honest, this was sent to me by the producers.
It was the title.
We had over 400,000 Bitcoin bought between 60K and 70K during Bitcoin's latest downturn.
So I obviously, you know, I like to at least attempt to fact check things
because it was based on the title.
And what I dug into is that this is URPD data.
It's basically showing what coins have moved in a region.
And this chart that they share actually has very little to do with time-based.
But what it shows basically is that there's been a lot of coins moving in this area between 60 and 70,000,
which could be for various reasons like OTC desks or ETF custody.
It could be reshuffling of wallets by whales.
But this does not implicitly say that there's been 400 Bitcoin bought.
right and i know you actually have a lot of data on coin balance as to what's happening in the market
so i was trying to look for some clarity yeah i mean to say this market's going one or the other
right now i think is is crazy i don't think anyone really knows for sure um it's definitely not
clear like from my perspective what what is clear is there's been huge outflows and altcoins
and huge drops in in open interest in the derivative markets on things that aren't bitcoin and
maybe eth uh and and really like i think we've been talking about this a lot of
lot. My view is that the metals are sucking up all the liquidity. And I just did a check. So on
hyperliquid, silver derivatives did twice the volume of salina. So today, $750 million in volume on
today and $320 million on salana. So like just think about like this was unimaginable a couple
months ago that silver would be twice as big as Salinas. That's unimaginable to be today.
Because I thought when silver was at 120, that would have been not a surprise to me.
But silver, you know, has exited the narrative at least slightly over the past month, right?
It kind of topped and now it's consolidating.
So the fact that it's still doing that is, I don't know if that's good news for silver or really bad news for the Alcoi market.
I think I mean, it's a latter.
It's pretty bad news for the Alcorn market.
I mean, look, I'm not going to make a price prediction on Bitcoin.
I think that's Dave's game.
He's really good at it.
I'm not going to mess with that.
But the reality is just outflows and all coins is insane.
and the lack of the lack of interest.
I mean, I remember during the last cycle, I had emergency calls because we had some issues
with Dogecoin.
And it was all hands on deck, making sure that Dogecoin was performing and we were able to route
Dogecoin.
And in that one day, I think half our volume was Dogecoin, those days are over.
That's gone.
That's long behind us.
Now it's like, hey, can we add Pax gold to this route and make sure that we're able to route
gold for our clients, right?
Like that's kind of the flavor de jure.
And that's not to say that people aren't asking to trade alts.
It's just the demand is way down.
We see it way down.
Have you seen spikes in that during this quote-unquote cycle at all?
So like it feels to me that looking back now,
it's basically just been a bare market for all coins
since the end of 2021, beginning of 2022,
with some like very quick narrative spikes on meme coins
or there was that AI kind of run where a tender
and all of those were going crazy.
And then, you know, and of course hyperliquid had its moment,
which actually has some utility is interesting.
thing, but I look, I think that coins that have cash flows are going to do well. And that's
hype. That's some of these other dexes. If they can pull off real cash flows, like they're going to do
well. I saw a story the other day. There was some coin that still has a $3 billion dollar valuation.
And the fees are $10 per day, not $10,000, not even about $10 per day. And this coin is worth
billions of dollars. That that narrow, that's gone. Like that is in my opinion not going to, you know,
exist anymore. Like if there's going to be a coin with a multi-billion dollar market cap, there better
be some cash flows or at least a hope of future cash flows. Like if you looked at it as a business,
you would want to think, okay, is there a hope in hell that this thing is going to have cash flows
in the future? Like that's the view. It doesn't necessarily have to have it now, but a lot of these
projects are just doomed. And one of the reasons for that, thank you for reminding me, is because
of a lot of the gamblers that degenerate gambling has moved on to prediction markets.
Yes. Right. And so the demand for these.
meme coins, which were basically just used for people gambling, like is now going into these
prediction markets. And so it's really, we've seen kind of like a shift in the crypto markets
because of that, I think. You're reminding me, because I've been on that for a very long time.
And I even like after saying that for months now, I'm trying to find it. But I wrote an article
on that. I've written like two articles ever on Twitter, which is a rare thing. I don't know why I
even was inspired. But I have such high conviction that topic and got so much push back.
Is it? When everything becomes my death of all coins and rise of the speculation economy,
it's basically saying, and I've been saying it for months,
prediction markets have taken away any interest.
Like, if you can gamble on the weather tomorrow legally,
like, why would you go, like, get a VPN to find a decks to buy a meme coin that you know is fixed?
Like, these are fair markets.
Well, okay, maybe I'm sure there's some insider trading on prediction markets,
but these are fairer markets than random meme coin where someone has 99% of the supply,
and then you add silver on top of this and game over.
Silver is really, I mean, like, silver wasn't out of the coffin for me from this.
Prediction markets probably whatever, but silver.
And now that you can trade, I mean, the whole reason for all these meme points was so that you can gamble 24-7, 365.
I mean, you had people that were like, like, trading meme coins from their phone at the bar.
Like, some of our clients might have requested mobile enhancements during that time, right?
Like, I know what, I know how this goes.
But now that, you know, they can, they can do the same thing on prediction markets.
that they can gamble on on on on silver where there's just so much liquidity and and and you don't have
it's like it's you know it's it's it's just easier for them for them to do that right like they can
hedge it on any normal broker platform and they can trade it on crypto it's it's a it's a pretty
good product now that these things are available 24-7 so even like thinking about the tokenized stocks
that's taken a lot of the wind out of the sale of of some of these some of these coins when you can
trade Tesla on a hundred times leverage or whatever like yeah you're really good at this you're
making my job very easy. You've now prompted me twice for perfect segues. Cracken launches 24-7
perpetuals trading for tokenized U.S. stocks with up to 20x leverage. So by the way, I don't even
think I have the other story, but there's kind of... I mean, they're late. Like, it's cool that they did.
Great. Amazing. But like, Hyperliquit did this months ago, a bunch of people. I think, like,
everyone just sees the writing on the wall here that this is going to be a thing that 24-7
stock trading is now a thing. Like, it took the crypto industry to make it possible. But even I think
Robin Hood did it or one of the...
bunch of the big brokers are doing 24-5 now.
Yeah, so I was just to tell you the other story I don't have brought up, but it was announced yesterday, 24-5 on Coinbase for stock trading.
But I'm not sure if that was tokenized stock trading.
Now I'll have to look for just stock trading.
But I think the bigger story here is not only that this is 24-7, there's three things.
It's 24-7, which generally doesn't exist in the stock market.
It's tokenized, which is the crypto side.
And then the real kicker, it's perps.
Yeah.
I mean, my advice to retail would be don't trade.
in size outside of market hours because you're going to get your face ripped off on spread.
Do you imagine?
But like,
we've been using.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean,
so this is awesome.
It's the innovation and it's going to force the hand of other markets.
But like,
I guess maybe to like circle back,
alt coins,
like,
why?
Like,
sadly,
we got to pretend for years that we were in it for the community and
the utility and the world.
Maybe that's true with 10 of them.
That's cool.
But the rest,
like if we're being intellectually honest,
it was just about gambling.
Pure speculation.
Yeah, I mean, we wanted to feel smart that we picked the winner in the L2 or whatever,
grace.
I mean, but yeah, it was about money.
I would agree with that.
I mean, I looked back at some of the coins that I had owned like in 2017, 2018,
and they're like, they're dead.
They haven't moved from back then and when Bitcoin's up, everything's up, you know,
even now versus that.
It's all coins up just bled market cap, most of them, right, since then.
So how does this work with coin routes?
So obviously, like you, I understand the, I think, the basic broad strokes of the business.
But now if everything's going to be 24-7, 365 on blockchain rails, does that mean you guys have to scale to offer everything to all of your clients?
I mean, it's great.
We already have.
Yeah.
I mean, I had a guy in my office the other day that was a rep for a futures broker.
It's called the FCM, but it's basically a brokerage for futures.
And we're connecting up to another one, right?
Like, we have to.
Like, we already list stocks and futures and options and everything.
It's really like you have to.
You have to have all these different asset classes.
And the thing is we have an advantage because we were built for 24-7 crypto systems.
Whereas if you take an equity system, like they're used to going down on the weekends and they have a lot of problems.
Even the, you know, traditional exchanges are doing 24-5.
Like it's going to be hard for them to do 24-7.
Well, I don't even understand.
Like I have buddies in the hedge fund world who are just scratching their heads and like disbelief that they might
have to somehow figure out a way to plug the holes of most of the hours of the week.
I've got a buddy at Citadel.
We can't do this.
He's like, you can't, like, we can't hire enough people to do this well to have stocks trading 24, 7,
365.
I mean, they better open more offices.
That's why we open Dubai, London, we're going to do Hong Kong.
I mean, that's, that's why we're doing all this because you have, we have to follow the sun.
There's, there's, there's no way.
I mean, that's how we do it.
We have to hand off every, every nine hours.
we have to hand off to the next shift because, you know, this is crypto and it's 24-7, right?
I would imagine the other reason you're in Dubai is still legislative and regulatory concerns in the United States.
Yeah, I mean, look, like it's not great from my perspective in, you know, in the U.S. for derivatives trading, which is most of the volume.
I think for a spot, a lot of players are doing it well and making a lot of money.
but I think the exchanges in the U.S. have had to make a lot of compromises around what products they can offer, basically.
So they can't offer perps still really.
I mean, like you can, but the liquidity is very low.
Like, when all markets have perps.
Like, I mean, there's perps are really, really cool product, but they've also almost been the death of our industry multiple times,
including definitely when Bitmex, when suddenly turned off the exchange entirely when Bitcoin went from $6,000 to $3,500 in a matter of hour.
I've argued with a lot of people over this, actually.
And basically it comes down to different models.
So the problem is futures in the U.S. are really difficult.
Like essentially there are no single stock futures, i.e. like a future on Tesla or a
perp on Tesla because of just the regulatory red tape and the way that it has to work.
But essentially in the U.S., for derivatives contracts, like you have to be credit checked
to try to simplify this a little bit.
You have to be credit checked by the broker and then it's a whole long process because essentially
if you run out of margin, let's say I bought a million dollars of whatever of Bitcoin futures,
for instance, and I put up $250,000 of margin, right?
If that Bitcoin drops enough so that I'm bankrupt on that $250,000 position, like I owe them
money.
They're not allowed to liquidate me in real time.
They literally do a T plus one margin call, which means they literally pick up the phone and call
you.
And they say, hey, you need to postmark lateral.
In crypto, as soon as it gets close to being out of margin, they liquidate you.
But that's not the case in U.S. regulated derivatives.
And so that's a huge problem, like, because the way that crypto works is that's not really how crypto works abroad.
And I personally, I think it's a better model to just be able to liquidate people in real time because then you can onboard clients without having to credit check them.
And it's not like this really weird bifurcated market.
But the way that works in the U.S. is that's not the way that works.
Right.
So how does it crack it in the U.S.
offer something like this or, you know, what's the path to this product being available
everywhere in the United States? Or is that haven't even looked? Is it for non-U.S. clients?
You know, and on the uncertain thing. They have it, but it's a T-plus-1 margin call still.
They still do the same thing. And so you have to have like a credit check. It's not great.
It's not like a product, but it doesn't, the mechanics behind it do not make the liquidation
engine is not. It's not structured in the same way. And so it's going to be difficult for those
products to become popular, in my opinion. It's going to be really difficult for that to catch up
I think they're trying to do stuff to change it, but from our perspective, they're not.
And so it's going to be harder to onboard more people onto those products.
And so the perps market is still going to stay offshore.
Wild.
Yeah.
So we're on our way and we still don't have the legislation.
I mean, when you look at what's happening here with the Clarity Act, obviously,
which is intended to answer some of these questions, certainly at least which regulators,
CFTC versus SEC, what might happen with derivatives?
You're sitting in Dubai.
Yeah, like, I'm really hopeful.
It's one of those things where, like, I really want, you know, my country to do well.
And I'm hopeful that in the long term, it will sort it out.
However, like, while they're sorting it out, we're building offshore is essentially how I look at it.
Just because we don't have enough certainty from our perspective yet.
But I think it'll get there.
It's not like a doom and gloom type situation.
It's just like they're going to need to work it out amongst themselves, basically.
And I'm not willing to spend more money on legal to,
sorted out for them right now.
So to be very clear, though, then, the narrative that it's very easy now to just do things
in the United States and crypto is not entirely true.
Not at derivatives at all.
No.
No.
So that's more specific to derivatives.
Maybe if you were launching a project, things would, or a token or something, things might
be a lot easier than they use.
Maybe.
But it's not a lot of people's first choice given like I look, I would just spend a couple
weeks in Hong Kong.
We just closed a deal with, we got an investment, which was announced today.
from the original founder of Willby.
It's called the Avenir Group.
And just like being introduced around by those guys
and seeing the energy in Hong Kong
and how much is going on there
and whatever like Versa and Dubai as well.
And you know, a lot of other places
versus like what's going on in the U.S.
It's just a different breed for people
that are actually trying to push the envelope.
Like if you're just running a spot exchange
and you're doing like OTC trading,
the U.S. is probably fine.
But for any of these crypto native products,
it's still a bit tricky.
Right. Even if you think you can do it now, you may not be able to in two to four years.
So we don't have the no pun intended clarity. I think they were looking for.
I mean, circling back to the market here a bit, Tom Lee, Bitcoin's 50% drop is a crypto squall, not a winter.
Obviously, his point being that we've seen this movie before and we've been fine, right?
I think a lot of people always point back to 2021 when Bitcoin and all coins, importantly, raged through the first half of the year.
summer was terrible and you know bitcoin mining and bitcoin in general we went from 65 down to 28
but then ranged back up to 69 heath made new all-time highs afterwards and uh all was well so
is this time different i guess is the question because i think there's almost consensus that
we can call this crypto winter now i mean i just i don't think that back then there were like
there's a large amount of supply in bitcoin i mean i'm not talking about all kinds but in bitcoin
there's a huge amount, there's over a million Bitcoin locked up in spot Bitcoin ETFs.
That was a lot, that's a lot of like the floating supply, the liquid supply.
And that, it's hard.
You know, a lot of that is passive allocation.
Some people have like 401ks, whatever, it's passive.
It's not like as easy to exit as back in 21 when it could just, I mean, it was all, most of it
was on exchange. There was a bit of ETA, there was that futures ETF, but it was, it was harder.
I think the market is definitely like there's more institutions in the market now.
That said, like, obviously the retail holders are going to be flighty and,
and are going to sell.
But just based on the volumes on the exchange, I mean, there's still a lot of volume
happening.
There's still a lot of trading going on.
I think that's a little bit different from post-FDX and whatever when volumes fell off
a cliff and open interest fell off a cliff even more than it is now.
I think people just trading different products.
They're not trading alt coins anymore.
Like back in the last cycle, the all coins kind of propped up the overall market cap a lot
and that's not happening anymore, right?
And yeah, as I said earlier, you have people trading silver.
You have people trading other derivatives.
You have people, like any dollar that's in Tesla perp is a dollar not in Bitcoin or another thing if it's sitting on a crypto exchange, right?
And so you have all these other assets that are competing for market share now.
Yeah.
Right.
And I think it's always important these days to put all of it in context of macro markets, right?
Because I think that we saw that global uncertainty is at an all-time high.
And yesterday, I think credit card delinquency is at an all-time high.
And there's a couple other stories that's sort of, you know, align with.
that U.S. banks are currently facing unrealized losses of $360 billion. This is that part of
our title that talks about the financial system cracking. Massive Treasury bill auction scheduled
Google searches for Can't Sell House just hit an all-time high. We also saw that Google searches
for Bitcoin going to zero hit an all-time high. And then maybe the biggest disruption,
obviously, has been AI, right? I mean, someone asked Claude to track what happens. Spoiler,
every time Anthropic announces something new, it goes really bad for some major stock that people
have been holding. So I just think this level of uncertainty is probably contributing to what's
happening to Bitcoin market or what could happen as well. Yeah, I mean, look, the AI stuff is super
interesting because, you know, it's such a small percentage of the population that's actually
using AI in their work versus legacy tools. But the people that are using it have an outsized
advantage. And at the end of the day, if there's an AI revolution of Skynet, they're going to
pay each other in crypto. So that's, this should be bullish for crypto, right? I mean, like AI.
AIs aren't necessarily paying each other in fiat. They're paying each other in stables.
And in crypto, right? Yeah, they're not using, they're not using cash. But I look, I agree.
I think SaaS companies, I was talking to an investor about this, I think SaaS companies without
a mode are done. I think that if any, if a model company could just drop an update and replace
your entire business, that's a terrible business. So a lot of these wrappers that are thin wrappers on
top of AI will be done. But companies that have proprietary data, there's a moat there because
they have data that these models don't necessarily have access to. Right. So it's really going to,
the people that have good proprietary data and network effects are going to do even better. And the
people that are just like glorified services business calling themselves SaaS are going to do
hardly. That's just kind of the name of the game. It's just kind of interesting to see the
shift in how markets react to all of this in real time. Because obviously you had the mag seven was way
but those are actually kind of, you know, software stocks have been absolutely destroyed,
but the S&B is still near an all-time high.
I think it's just very hard to parse what's going on.
And all of that while silver and gold are still, you know, near highs,
which should be trading, you know, obviously inversely, probably to stocks or risk,
as, you know, Mike McLeon or beta, Mike McLeon likes to call it.
I just find it extremely the most confusing time I've ever seen in markets.
Yeah, it seems.
The sense is that everything's kind of out of whack.
I would agree with that sentiment.
But, I mean, look, I think the AI revolution could definitely, there's going to be winners
and there's going to be losers.
So, like, what else are you watching?
Is there anything on the platform?
I mean, the death of all coins has long been celebrated here, but you're actually seeing
that in the data.
So I think that that's interesting.
Is there any way that these are just bottom signals?
It's like so bad right now.
I think that there's a bottom signal on Bitcoin.
I like, I don't love to make price predictions and it's not investment advice.
But I was out to dinner with some Emirates and this British guys.
and, uh,
oh,
crypto is a scam.
Like,
and he's showing me this,
this photo of this,
oh,
one trillion lost.
And mind you,
the Emeraldis are all like gold traders and everything.
I'm like,
wait,
but gold lost more than that in value for when it went from 5,600 to,
you know,
5,000.
Like,
this is normal.
Like,
that's really nothing.
And he was like,
oh,
okay, grumble,
grumble.
But like,
you know,
when people are really going this hard against,
against his asset.
And then another investor,
a normie investor on a call the other day was like,
oh,
like our institutions deallocating from crypto is crypto going to zero.
like the last time I heard that it was kind of close to a bottom to be honest because it's either like
okay is this going to go up a lot or whatever it wasn't like is this going to zero you know and so for
me it does kind of feel like the bottom for Bitcoin is here maybe it's in the 50s but I don't I think
we're close I think we're yeah I mean that that's all a process of bottoming like we go to 55 me that's a
rounding error from the 60 or 50 yeah it went to it anecdotally like based on sentiment it based
yeah it does kind of feel like a bottom of Bitcoin so we have crypto fear I mean I've showed it
every day here but
fear and greed hit the lowest it's ever hit right and like last i checked we're not at two thousand
dollars we're at sixty yeah five thousand dollars um we have and for the longest period ever we've
seen that like i said bitcoin going to zero google searches at an all-time high right uh i mean
these are not pop signals those are not things you want to and oh i see rs i'm rs i tapped
when it went down to 62 000 yesterday or the day before it you know rs i
on the weekly, you have to wait until it closes, but it was the lowest it's ever been for a moment there.
Now it's slightly above the July 22.
Everything collapsed lows.
But, I mean, that's historically oversold on the weekly chart.
I mean, it's just very hard to confidently bet strongly on much lower.
And even if you do to have the conviction, you're going to be able to close it in time before it bounces right back.
Yeah, I mean, I'm excited.
I think, like, depending on the geopolitical situation, I think if this gets resolved in,
we bounce from here straight away. If we don't and this drags on, then we stay in this ranges.
That's kind of my thought.
Do you know a political situation specifically Iran?
Yeah.
Or just the, yeah, I mean.
Yeah.
And, you know, as Dave often points out, there's a markets generally tend to do poorly
right before the war. But the second, uh, there's any clarity on what's happening,
whether no war or war starts markets tend to bounce because you have certainty.
It feels like it's getting resolved and that this we're close to a bottom in, in Bitcoin.
I think everything else is who knows, I mean, with the old coins.
But yeah, with Bitcoin, it does feel like.
I mean, because if there was going to, who's really going to be left to sell at these
levels?
Who's selling into the lower 50s?
Like, I don't, I don't know who would be jumping at this one.
That was kind of the other funny thing when I saw that headlines, like 400K Bitcoin
accumulated.
Like, if you're a bear, can't you just say 400K Bitcoin sold in the 660 to 70,000 region?
If someone is accumulating Bitcoin, there's also somebody willing to sell that many
Bitcoin to them, right? Yeah, exactly. So I don't, it just doesn't, doesn't seem like it. And it looks like
the volumes are picking back up and so on and so forth. So I mean, yeah, it seems, it seems like we could
be kind of close. But who knows? Yeah, I mean, one last thing that could be a bottom signal. I don't
know. According to Goldman Sachs global investment research, Michael Saylor's micro strategy is the number one
most shorted stock in the world. Wow. I mean, yeah, you know, that seems like a stock that might
be ripe for a squeeze in theory. What is the crowd completely right when something's overcrowded and
there's consensus on one side of a trade? Yeah, exactly. I mean, I wouldn't be shorting micro strategy
here. I mean, like, I wouldn't, I wouldn't be short. What do you think of treasury companies? Like,
as we wrap, I mean, you know, beyond micro strategy, I mean, we keep seeing these Nakamoto down 99.9,
I know, I saw that.
Not, I mean, it's kind of disingenuous because, like, they traded it $28 before they were even a business.
But still, I mean, down there.
I think, like, there's some, like, I don't know about the Bitcoin ones, but for the proof of stake chains, like the East treasuries and other treasuries, like, there is a way for them to make money in the ecosystem.
Yeah.
Like, you can do staking and you can get more than staking.
There's utility.
I get it.
But I don't think, like, micro strategy, for instance, isn't doing anything with the Bitcoin.
Like, there's nothing that they're really doing from my understanding.
that they're doing with it.
So it's just they're just buying and buying more Bitcoin and using their debt facility.
It's not like they're actually putting it to work in the crypto economy.
But they could.
But they could.
They could.
Yeah.
And that's what we trade.
No, yeah, I'm kidding.
But they, yeah.
Right.
And it's kind of like a volatility wrapper.
So I mean, look, if there was a digital asset treasury, like there's one for hype.
I don't know if it launched it or it was going to launch.
And that's cool because there's actually really a lot of utility for hype.
There's a lot of volume.
And I could see that being worth more than Nav because they have the network effects.
They can make whatever 10% yield on it.
if they loan it out and do stuff with it.
And I think that's the expectation is that eventually people will be able to do
and put those assets to work.
And then that's interesting.
Is there anywhere you look right now in the all coin market that even
keeps your interests like?
I like hype.
I own hype.
We own hype.
Yeah.
And tell me why.
Look, I mean, they're pulling volume away from finance.
And they've like, there's a couple other dexes that are trying to do what they're doing.
and so far they haven't gotten really critical mass.
It's done pretty, it's done better than Bitcoin, you know, so it's done decent.
And so, yeah, I think there's, I mean, there's cash flows there.
There's, I don't know what the trade, what it trades at to NAV, but it's not crazy.
It's like, it trades like a tech stop.
Yeah.
It doesn't, it doesn't trade like a meme.
So you can actually value it.
Yeah, you can value it based on cash flows, which I like.
Crazy.
I'd be the idea that something might actually have to have, you know, assignable value in crypto.
I know it's nuts.
Well, we kept you.
We knocked out the half hour.
I appreciate you being here.
Ian, where can everybody follow you and check you out and check out coin routes, of course?
Yeah, I'm most active on LinkedIn, actually.
So I post a lot of stuff on LinkedIn, and then you can check us out on Twitter as well.
Awesome.
Appreciate you, man.
Thank you so much.
I look forward to having you back very soon.
Everybody else, we will see you tomorrow.
Thanks, Ian.
All right.
Take care.
Thank you for having me.
