XRP, BTC, ETH We Need To Address THIS In Crypto Right Now!

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-19

[00:00:00]All right, everybody. We are back. We are back to talk about XRP, Bitcoin, Ethereum. What's going on in crypto? Are we losing a little bit of our juice in the market right now? We're going to break it all down for you guys. Make sure you stick around until the end of the video because I'm going to tell you guys exactly how I see this all playing out as we get closer and closer to rolling into the summer months of 2026.

[00:00:26]I am still very excited about this market. very very excited especially for the end of this year. I do think there could be some volatility. I'll break down exactly why. What I'm looking at, of course, we've been accumulating our favorite assets. Bitcoin when it dipped down below 70K uh and went all the way to 60. We were big buyers down there.

[00:00:48]Many people still think we'll see that type of value again. Although, since we came up across $75,000 on Bitcoin, we've been above it the last two weeks. It's starting to shift, right? People's opinions are starting to shift and say basically, hey, you know what? Maybe, just maybe, the bottom is in. Maybe we won't uh see exactly $60,000 Bitcoin again. But everything you need to know.

[00:01:15]We're going to break it down for you guys uh in the video. And uh let's get right to it and uh talk about what's going on in this market. I bookmark a few things because Crypto.com landed a big deal yesterday. Wanted to talk about this a little bit. Uh, Crypto.com's UAE entity, Forest DAX Middle East, FZE, has been granted a stored value facilities license by the Central Bank of UAE, making it the first virtual asset service provider in the country to hold one. Uh the license essentially activates a partnership with Dubai Department of Finance allowing UAE residents to pay government fees using digital assets. All settlements run in UAE Durhams. Uh crucially, the position is exclusive. Anyone in in the UAE now who wants to use virtual asset payments, they must be onboarded through Crypto.com's varicensed platform. So that was some big news that came out yesterday. Uh, Circle just raised 222 million for its new ARC token. Uh, backers include Andre, Horowitz, Black Rockck, Apollo. Uh, so this will be one to watch. Uh, of course, Circle, massive player in the stable coin realm. Ripple XRP Prime closes a $200 million debt facility uh from Newberger Specialty Finance to expand its margin financing and lending capacity for institutional clients. Uh, some big news there on the XRP front. How about this? JP Morgan, Ripple, Mastercard, and Ono complete crossber redemption of tokenized US treasuries on the XRP ledger. We covered that not too long ago a few days ago. I made a video here about Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini, and the top crypto exchanges trying to change the future of crypto. The Clarity Act, that is going to be something massive to watch here as uh many people are saying that we could have a deal done soon. SEC chair uh Paul Atkins a few days ago said the agency is exploring rule changes for onchain markets including trading systems, brokers, uh clearing agencies, and crypto vaults. A single protocol can execute a trade, manage collateral, route liquidity, and settle the transaction. A single protocol, who could it be? Uh many people are saying, hm, could it be XRP and Ripple? Could it be Ethereum? I guess we'll have to wait and find out. But back to the market because Bitcoin is just losing $80,000 and it has a lot of people wondering, okay, where are we in this, you know, in this cycle or does cycles even exist anymore? Like what's going on? It's very hard to tell because history tells us that we wouldn't bottom, you know, at least until October of this year. You know, traditionally bare markets doesn't have to be October, but traditionally they last, you know, 10 to 12 months.

[00:04:04]You get some fake outs. So, it has a lot of people thinking, well, this is just another fake out, right? It's another um, you know, bull trap where we're going to eventually come back down and retest 60,000, maybe go a little bit lower. That's still possible, but I'm not banking on that completely. And I'll tell you why. Ever since Bitcoin climbed above 75,000 and showed strength above that number, I completely changed my tune. I was about 70% to 30%. 70% saying that, hey, yes, we're probably going to go lower before we flipped 74,000 into support. When that started to happen and we slowly grinded up to 80,000, it made me think twice. It made me say, well, you know what? Maybe this whole institutional adoption and ETFs and the fact that Bitcoin's being treated like, you know, a trady asset, you know, maybe the four-year cycles are completely over. Now the start of this cycle looked very similar to what we have been you know come to realize is a bare market. But if Bitcoin bottomed that quickly you know from 126 down to 60 and that was it that completely changes everything in terms of what we know about bare markets. It completely revolutionizes the way this market moves. And the whole 40-year cycle thing is gone. It's out the window. It's done.

[00:05:29]I am keeping some cash on the sideline still. I am not fully putting all of my capital that I want to put into crypto into crypto at this moment. I think at some point throughout throughout this summer months, we're going to get some kind of deep value. Does that mean Bitcoin goes down to 65? Maybe. Does it go down to 55? Maybe. I don't know. But when I feel the sentiment shifting and fear coming back in the market, I will be a buyer. I'm not going to try to pinpoint price action anymore um during this cycle because there's just been too many things that have been off and went against our grain, you know, and the same thing could be said here for XRP, Ethereum, etc. I'm going to be looking to make plays on these assets. Ethereum is something I've held for a while. I haven't really reaccumulated it in a long time. I do like getting Ethereum if I can get it under 2,000. I like getting XRP under a$150. I would love getting it around a dollar. I think that would just be an absolute gift. If we could get XRP under a dollar, that would be something that I would absolutely uh love to pick up right now. We shall see if uh that opportunity presents itself. Uh I'm not going to say guaranteed that it will.

[00:06:41]So, I'm going to continue to accumulate the assets that are tied to this institutional buildout, that are tied to tokenization, payments, AI, anything that is built for the institutions, being driven by the institutions, those are the assets I'm going to continue to buy. Hyperlid, the perpex narrative, privacy, these things that are in the narrative right now are the ones I'm going to continue to double down on. That is how I'm playing this market. I'm doing the same thing with stocks. The AI buildout, it's a massive opportunity. I think we're going to continue to see huge potential gains there over the next three, four, five years. Will there be some pullbacks here in the short term?

[00:07:23]Yes, I think there will be. I mean, things are skyrocketing over there. The one thing I will say about Bitcoin though, in general, and you know, XRP and Ethereum, crypto right now is the catch-up trade.

[00:07:37]meaning we've seen all these other asset classes balloon higher. S&P 500 setting new all-time highs. Bitcoin is lagging, Ethereum is lagging, XRP is lagging, these top assets. So eventually I think there will be some rotation of capital into these things and obviously I want to be there for that rotation and we might move some money with the institutions. Yes, we're already in there so we're already going to feel the gains when the institutions start pumping our bags. But when we see that momentum, we'll follow that momentum with some more capital and we'll run it up with them. So that's essentially what I'm seeing right now in the overall market. We're going to continue to watch the price action here very very closely.
