🌏World Tokenization Will be Televised

🗞 Market commentary.

GM, it’s looking good.

Hanging out above 71,000 dollars per Bitcoin surely feels nice. What’s going to feel even better is if we can shoot above eighty by the end of June, anyone with me? So far, the crystal ball points exactly to this future outcome. If things change, you’ll hear it here first. 

What’s the reason behind this sustained strength, you might ask?

Well, for one, the stablecoin market cap soared to a two-year high of $161.1B. Stablecoins are bulls' best friends, and as long as we see their market cap rise, we’re pouring fuel into the rally. Secondly, we saw a massive record-breaking $1.3B ETF inflows this week. Thirdly, we’re seeing softer macro data coming in and the Fed coming out saying they are about to cut rates even if inflation isn’t at their original 2% target. Is the macro environment pushing money into Bitcoin ETFs? Ted from Tedtalksmacro surely thinks so.

Finally, Larry Fink, the gigachad bull of this bull run, jumped in front of the TV camera and declared that “every bond, every stock will eventually be tokenized on a ledger.”

Considering that the crypto industry is still smaller than NVDA stock, which just surpassed $3 trillion valuation, I will leave you with this number: the derivative market is worth more than $1.2 quadrillion. If everything integrates with crypto, we will enter the la la land.

📊 Luke’s Chart of the Day

AABL/SOL 1D Log Chart

This is mostly an attention trade, although the $AABL chart is putting in a nice looking Adam & Eve bottom, down bigly from the highs, in the fine memecoin tradition of bullish 90% pullbacks.

On Monday, the 2024 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference kicks off for the whole week. Tim Cook will do the keynote and there are expected to be announcements about new AI features in iOS 18 and macOS 15, amongst other things. If you look at the $AAPL stock chart, the weekly looks w-bottom primed for a new breakout.

Onchain Summer

Coinbase finally released the long-awaited Smart Wallet, which provides much-needed simplification and account abstraction functionalities that should help us onboard the new wave of crypto participants.

Nevertheless, this also means that those already here should start focusing on the Base chain again. Just during the month of May, Base’s revenue hit 6 million dollars, the highest of all L2s. In comparison, the second-best, Optimism, made just 1.5 million. Moreover, we’re seeing a massive token oversaturation on Solana, the go-to shitcoin casino for the time being.

As the opportunities on Solana dwindle and the chain gets plagued by professional snipers and bots, people start looking for another venue. I bet that Base will take that spot. 

What are some of the picks to benefit from the upcoming action? Let’s check them (not financial advice): 

• MOG

• BASED

• MFER (best entry at the moment, in my opinion)

• CJ

• RWAX (RWA project)

🦍 And finally…

I busted out the crystal ball and foreseen what’s coming (which means I’m talking out of my ass). In my opinion, we’re about to bust into the eighty-thousand per BTC territory. Once there, the last pre-summer altcoin pumps happen, just as everyone talks about the most bullish summer ever. That’s when another pause happens, and we reconsolidate into September. But then, then it’s the big show time, friends. In my opinion, the fourth quarter will be the craziest one yet.
