Bitcoin today looks a lot like $AMZN in its early years: - Extreme volatility - Massive drawdowns - Constant skepticism When Bezos launched Amazon, people thought it was ridiculous: “a website that sells books.” It nearly died multiple times. But as mainstream adoption grew, volatility dropped and gains persisted. Now every major ETF and mutual fund owns it. That’s how breakthrough technologies usually work: - First ignored - Then mocked - Then adopted everywhere. Bitcoin is following the same path. After being mocked for multiple years, BlackRock launched its Bitcoin ETF two years ago. Hold Bitcoin for the long-term. @ricedelman

Hearty congratulations to SEC Commissioner @HesterPeirce on her joining the faculty of Regent University’s law school! Quite a catch for them, and quite a tribute for her. Frankly, I have no idea how she managed to choose among the many offers she’s no doubt received – and deservingly so. (I’ve also no doubt she made the best choice, as she’s always displayed great judgment!) This is merely a note of thanks to Commissioner Peirce for her leadership – and patience and perseverance – that have resulted in important, material gains and improvements in everything from consumer and investor protection to, of course, major advances in crypto. She has much to be proud of. To Hester from everyone at @thedacfp , thank you.

The New York Stock Exchange is planning to launch a 24/7 trading platform for crypto trading, clearing, settlement, capital formation and data distribution. And Nasdaq is partnering with crypto exchange Kraken to offer tokenized stocks. JPMorgan Chase and BofA will soon offer stablecoins (Fidelity already does) and Goldman Sachs has launched a stablecoin reserves fund. Meta will soon allow stablecoin payments for its 3B users. Meanwhile, Schwab (39M clients/12T in assets) now lets retail clients trade BTC and ETH for just 75bps. Wells Fargo is also launching its own crypto exchange. Morgan Stanley has launched a bitcoin ETF and wants its 16K FAs to put 2-4% of client assets in it. MS could flow 320B into BTC – raising bitcoin’s price $16K. MS is also letting some clients trade crypto at E*Trade for just 50bps. (Price war coming!) Goldman Sachs has filed for a BTC income ETF - Wall Street racing to join crypto before BTC’s price exceeds the $126k high. There’s more. Ondo Finance, JPMorgan, Mastercard and Ripple did the first near-real-time cross-border, cross-bank redemption of a tokenized U.S. Treasury fund – not in 3 business days but in 5 seconds. Tokenized ETFs are coming, from JPMorgan’s Kinexys platform as well as BlackRock, FranklinTempleton, WisdomTree and State Street. Securitize, the leader in tokenizing real-world assets with Apollo, BLK, BNY Mellon, Hamilton Lane, KKR, VanEck and others, has announced a deal with Computershare to issue tokenized equities. VISA is now settling stablecoin transactions on 9 blockchains at a $7B annual rate, up 50% in 3 months. Western Union is partnering with Crossmint to support stablecoin transactions. PayPal is processing crypto trades on Solana. And Fannie Mae is accepting crypto as collateral for mortgages. No wonder Institutional Investor’s Digital Assets Survey found that 75% of institutional investors plan to buy more crypto and 94% not currently invested plan to allocate this year. The US stock market is worth $69T; the US bond market is $53T and crypto is ~$3T. A passive, diversified portfolio should be 55% stocks, 42% bonds and 3% crypto. If your crypto allocation is 0%, you’re shorting the market. Read my three white papers. They explain why crypto prices have fallen over the past six months, the six myths that are preventing you from buying bitcoin, and why your crypto allocation should be 10% to 40% of your allocation. You’ll find them all at DACFP.com/whitepapers

The client questions have gotten more specific. Not just bitcoin – staking, yield, custody, borrowing against crypto. If you're not sure how to answer, join me on May 26. I'll be sitting down with @billbar, CEO of @abraglobal, to break it all down. Free. 1 CE. Register: hubs.li/Q04gHc8b0
