January 19, 2025 All Eyes Are on the Rally Around the Corner Dear Subscriber, As Marija Matić told her Crypto Yield Hunter members on Wednesday, tomorrow is the single most important day for crypto this month. That’s because the White House will welcome the first pro-crypto administration. No matter how you feel about the politics of it all, most people in the crypto community can agree on one thing. A new, more welcoming regulatory environment will likely open up a whole new world of opportunities. And with that exciting prospect on the horizon, our team believes Crypto Is Set to Get a Boost from an Unlikely Source — TradFi. See, improved regulation means the path to crypto adoption will get a lot smoother for institutions. And that means more institutional investment in the market. Retail investors like you and I should be prepared. Because that means more opportunity for the rest of us. The timing of all this may be spot on as well. Not only does our cycles expert Juan Villaverde say we are almost ready to confirm the end of the latest correction. But he also believes The Liquidity Injection We’ve Been Looking for May Be Here. And this time around, it’s not because the Federal Reserve wants to bail out the banks. Rather, it’s the insurance companies in the hot seat. Many are caught between the claims rolling in from the California wildfires … and rising interest yields that are hammering their bond portfolios. Juan foresees the Fed will stick to its standard response: more money printing. Which, in turn, could be rocket fuel for this next leg up. And when it does, you may be surprised at which narratives outperform. Sure, there are new ones like DeFAI that are sure to catch attention. What is DeFAI? As Dr. Bruce Ng explains, it’s the intersection between DeFi and AI. And no, it’s not just a fancy new buzzword. DeFAI projects address a necessary need in crypto. And with only a $1.2 billion market cap, it has plenty of room to grow. In his latest update, Dr. Bruce dives into how you can find the DeFAI projects with real promise from ones unlikely to see lift off. But a few old narratives you thought were down and out may just rise again. In fact, one forgotten sector saw $155 million in sales last week on a Crypto Comeback You Weren’t Expecting. NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, were all the rage of the last bull cycle. But without proper utility, they fizzled in the bear market. But tech expert Jurica Dujmovic says the industry has matured now. No longer a frenzy of hype around bright-colored pixels, he believes this new wave of NFTs offers much more interesting opportunities. That’s because the core problem NFTs attempted to solve still looms over not just crypto but the broad digital realm. IP ownership is difficult to enforce. The standard way to manage intellectual property is like navigating a maze blindfolded. The process is slow and expensive and often leaves creators feeling lost and powerless. And that’s without adding in the troubles AI programs introduce. Naturally, the first project to be able to address these concerns successfully is likely to take off. These new and improved NFTs are one approach. But Mark Gough has another, specifically designed for web3. And This Protocol Plans to Rewrite the Rules of IP by encoding them into the blockchain. It’s called Story. By realizing the power of IP as an asset and tokenizing it as a programmable store of value, Story empowers creators to realize the full potential of their creativity. And, by planning for AI, Story works to ensure creators are never left in the dust by it. Story is still very new and very risky. But Mark believes growth investors may want to take a closer look. But that’s all for this week. Be sure to keep up with us in your next Weiss Crypto Daily update tomorrow afternoon. Best, Beth Canova Crypto Managing Editor |
