July 20, 2025 Keep Up with Crypto’s Evolution Dear Subscriber, Times, they are a-changin’. As Marija Matić revealed in her update this week, The Great Crypto Awakening Is Here. Last weekend, Bitcoin (BTC, “A-”) began its latest rally. By Monday, the No. 1 crypto hit its most recent all-time high north of $123,000. But this push isn’t due to retail investors pouring in, as was the case in many past bull-cycle rallies. Rather, it’s big-foot TradFi institutions. They’re the ones that have built the bullish momentum as they add more Bitcoin — and select altcoins — to their treasuries. (To learn which surprise coins have benefited the most from this recent push, I suggest you read Marija’s latest update.) This is what many crypto enthusiasts have been waiting for. According to Juan Villaverde, people have been eagerly awaiting TradFi’s entrance into crypto since 2017. But what investors may not have realized is that, along with a flood of liquidity, these institutions have brought the winds of change with them. Because they don’t play by crypto’s rules. Just as JP Morgan once fought to tame the Wild West to build and connect his railroads, TradFi traders are changing the crypto game to suit their own style. That’s why Juan says It’s Time for Crypto 2.0. And in his latest update, he breaks down how retail investors like you can shift your strategy as the character of the crypto market matures. One way to do that? Learn how to tell a real tokenization opportunity from nothing more than a publicity play. For example, SpaceX Entered the Blockchain recently. It is now offering tokenized shares. Which makes this real-world asset play one of the few ways retail investors can get exposure to Elon Musk’s impressive and private company. Nice, right? Maybe. But maybe not. As private equity expert Chris Graebe explains, there are some serious drawbacks to this play. And he sees even better options in the private equity space. One in particular is in a sector that has seen returns that could rival crypto’s early days. (To learn how you can benefit from this pre-IPO opportunity, click here.) Another way is to keep up with the Washington crowd. While the call for clearer regulation has rung through crypto for years, the process is messier than most expected. Though that shouldn’t be surprising when politicians get involved. We saw this first-hand as Washington’s Whirlwind Crypto Week Sparked Volatility and Hope. Tech expert Jurica Dujmovic brilliantly tracks the ups and downs Washington brought to the markets this week. And what we can expect from Capitol Hill in the coming months. But even with these changes, our team still believes Crypto’s Best Days Are Still Ahead. In his Weiss Crypto Daily for this week, Bob Czeschin lays out three reasons why there’s much more upside for crypto in the days to come. But that’s all for this week.
