YEET.com has been doing some cool stuff lately in the crypto casino space, so we’re giving it a shout-out for anyone who’s been meaning to check it out.
They’ve been putting out a bunch of fun, crypto-themed games with plenty more coming!
I mean, check out the roster, plenty to choose from, plus it’s as easy as registering here and having some good old dicy fun:
Koreans are cashing out of life insurance policies at record levels to invest in the stock market (which has surged 70% this year/, the stock market is the most expensive in history, and BTC continues to slosh around in mud. GM.
Let’s start with price action on Bitcoin to get it out of the way (cause it’s pretty boring). After our prediction of breaking $79K and failing to the downside, BTC reached low sixty keks, now trying for a little bit of a pity bounce.
Now, unless BTC flips back over $80K again, the ball is simply staying in Bera’s court. Simple as.
I believe these times, and especially going into summer, are those types of times to keep calm and collected, don’t push trades, and most importantly, don’t get chopped up using leverage in this overall fakeout zone.
Here’s some good news, though - as you can listen here, this bear market started way earlier than many think. Does that mean it will also end sooner? Perhaps.
On top of the sloshy BTC price action, we've now got 30-year yields climbing all the way to 5.18%, indicating inflation is back on the menu. Plus, that’s exactly when Trump chose Kevin Warsh as the new Fed Chairman, specifically to cut rates. Well, the odds of rate cuts are now very, very low.
Don’t let me even start on ETH, this one looks pretty damn horrible at the moment. Not only the chart, but the whole thing - all three Ethereum Foundation leads announced they are leaving the project. Why? Is ETH really that bad? I don't think so.
At least we've got Trump continuing to push for crypto regulation easing, ordering regulators to identify and remove barriers to entry within three months.
As per usual, let’s end with some good old Hopium: Standard Chartered ($900B global bank) just sent a note on DeFi to its client base, predicting $4T of tokenized assets will be onchain by the end of 2028, split between stablecoins and RWAs. Yep, 4 trillion, big T. Institutions are coming, as the saying goes.
Don't forget to scroll down and check out our AI section. The Crypto X Convergence continues, and it does so rapidly. Just today, Bernstein said Bitcoin miners are becoming key AI infrastructure providers, with $90B+ in AI deals. This trend shall continue.

Surf 2.0: The most comprehensive research agent yet.
Surf was already the best crypto research tool using AI even before the 2.0 release. Now that we have the brand upgraded version, we can take things up a few notches.
Surf 2.0 enables you to research crypto like never before in minutes, gaining access to data and valuable insights that would have taken hours to prepare before Surf existed.
Research, build websites, airdrop dashboards, live data feeds, you name it, it’s all possible (and quite easy) using Surf Studio.
When it comes to Crypto X AI convergence, Surf is quickly becoming my go-to. Check out all the new features below, and don’t forget to follow the main account. These guys aren't joking around.
Sign up to Surf here and run one research query on a protocol you've been watching. The value of a tool like this is best understood by using it, not reading about it.
The TCG meta isn't going anywhere. Here’s your pulse check:
Maybe, just maybe, a new bull run in crypto is brewing…

Bounce or down only, at this point, I don't really care. I see regulations easing, onchain stablecoin balances growing, RWA and tokenization going parabolic, crypto x AI convergence in ultra-bull mode… what can I say? I am, indeed, VERY optimistic about our future.
All you have to do is be part of it.
If this was useful, forward it to one person sitting on the sidelines right now. That's how this thing grows. MUCH appreciated.
