WE’RE SO BACK (THE TRADE WAR, THAT IS) 🥊
Babe, wake up!
New tariffs just dropped!
…so, what now? (Is it time to freak out?)
I mean, you do you, but I’m keeping things tranquil – here’s why:
1/ We’ve played this game of “Boy who cried tariff” before
These trade restrictions may get imposed, sure – but whether or not they stick long term is a whole other question.
(Are they for real? Are they a bargaining tactic? Only President Trump knows for sure.)
2/ If the crypto market ain’t worried, neither am I…
Over the last 24hrs, the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap have barely moved – the biggest loser was $TRON at 3.5%.
(Which is essentially a rounding error when it comes to crypto volatility.)
3/ Our PRO team is unbothered and continuing to dollar cost average (DCA)
At this point, I pretty much do whatever our PRO team tells me.
Their consistent market reads (especially throughout this recent pullback) have earned my trust, and then some!
Check this out:
The takeaway:
I’m going to continue to DCA into fundamentally strong assets and chill, until told to do otherwise by our NOPs (Nerds On Payroll).

EARN WITHOUT THE LOCKUP
There’re two problems with staking on centralized exchanges:
1️⃣ The APYs are usually… meh 2️⃣ You have to lock up your funds to earn rewards
Nexo’s Flexible Savings option fixes both of these issues.

Here’s what you get with Nexo’s Flexible Savings:

$IBIT CRACKS THE TOP 5 ETFS WITH LARGEST YTD INFLOWS 🤯
Good lord!
$934.8M entered the Bitcoin ETFs yesterday – of which $877.2M came from BlackRock’s $IBIT, and we need to yap about it.
Not about yesterday's flows, but $IBIT as a whole.
First things first, check this chart out:
Now, here’re 5 “Holy hell, really?” moments we had when digging into this data:
- On May 21, $IBIT cracked the top 5 year-to-date (YTD) flows across all ETFs
- This is made even crazier when you consider it was ranked #47 just a month ago
- Since breaking the top 5 on Wednesday, $IBIT has added another $1.4B of inflows
- A whooole lot of these YTD flows came in the past month (around $7B total)
- If it were to continue at this rate (which, to be fair, it likely won’t) – it’ll be #2 by June 26th
Oh, and as an added bonus: the largest gold ETF ($GLD) is at #14, to $IBIT’s #5.
If that ain’t the right way to start a weekend – I don’t know what is.
