0:54

you name it brand new lectures coming

0:56

out so check those out link down below

0:58

for Black Friday this is crazy look look

1:00

at what's next for binance and some of

1:03

the allegations here and then we got to

1:05

talk about the Bitcoin ETF because

1:07

that's going to be pretty intense as

1:08

well uh but I believe that in order to

1:10

get the Bitcoin ETF approved we've got

1:13

to get through the entire binance Saga

1:15

The binance Saga is really just

1:17

beginning even though the doj probe is

1:20

over the SEC probe is still going and

1:22

take a look at one of the allegations

1:24

here of how the SEC is setting up the

1:27

story against binance and then what they

1:29

want binance to do and what that could

1:32

mean is it good or bad for crypto first

1:34

of all want to be clear I think that the

1:37

doj probe and settlement was actually

1:40

good for crypto it removes some of the

1:44

negativity in crypto brings us to

1:47

regulation AML kyc whatever this is

1:51

actually a good thing I would rather

1:53

have legitimate Americans and Pension

1:55

funds and institutions investing in

1:57

crypto than terrorist organizations so

2:00

with that said take a look at this uh

2:03

this is what the SEC is setting up the

2:05

story the SEC is going with they're

2:07

basically taking quotes from Zhao where

2:10

he says things like the following Zhao

2:12

confirmed in April of 2019 when

2:15

commenting on a ranking of crypto asset

2:18

platforms by trading volume quote

2:20

credibility is the most important asset

2:23

for any exchange if an exchange fakes

2:28

trading volume why would you trust them

2:31

with your funds okay yeah that makes

2:33

sense like if you have fake trading

2:35

volume or you're pumping fake volume for

2:37

your fun for for your exchange of course

2:40

if that comes out that would be sussy

2:42

and you shouldn't trust them well the

2:45

SEC stitches this together with the

2:48

following line

2:51

274 5 years later April 6 2020

2:55

binance.us platform made crypto asset

2:57

security Coe available for for trading

3:01

shortly after it was available Sigma

3:04

chain engaged in substantial wash wash

3:07

trading which is basically creating fake

3:09

volume like putting in buy limit orders

3:12

and sell limit orders just to fake

3:14

volume the following chart summarizes

3:17

this activity over the ensuing 11 days

3:19

in which Sigma chain represented as much

3:22

as 35% of the trading volume on the

3:25

platform and then they give you the

3:27

trading volume here now what interesting

3:30

is Sigma is controlled by ziao and here

3:34

the SEC is basically trying to stitch

3:36

together and argue you're literally

3:38

doing the stuff you said you would not

3:41

do you're deceiving your customers now

3:45

this is it's worth noting what the

3:47

charges are here because Zhao on Twitter

3:50

argues that hey like they're not

3:52

alleging Market manipulation or misuse

3:54

of funds correct the Department of

3:56

Justice is not but look at what the SEC

3:59

is charging and then what they

4:01

ultimately want which we'll get to that

4:03

and we'll talk about how that affects

4:04

Bitcoin and the ETF the SEC alleges that

4:08

Z and binance exercised control of the

4:11

platform's customer assets permitting

4:14

the co-mingling of customer assets or

4:17

diverting customer assets as they please

4:21

the SEC is basically alleging binance is

4:23

doing the same thing that FTX was doing

4:25

which obviously was a giant fraud

4:27

including to an entity Zhao well it's

4:30

obvious now it wasn't then including to

4:32

an entity Z owned and controlled called

4:35

Sigma chain further the complaint

4:38

alleges the defendants concealed the

4:40

fact that they were comingling billions

4:43

of investor assets and sending investor

4:46

assets to a third party yikes these are

4:49

massive allegations by the SEC here and

4:52

these literally are investor violation

4:56

allegations and Market manipulation

4:58

allegations now those are exactly the

5:00

things that Zhao implies he was not

5:02

alleged with but he's just saying the

5:06

Department of Justice didn't allege that

5:08

they're just alleging anti-money

5:10

laundering rules and wire fraud rules

5:13

the SEC however is alleging that so this

5:15

SEC case will probably have to get

5:18

cleared in my opinion before we get ETF

5:21

approvals now we could be wrong who

5:22

knows maybe tomorrow maybe by the time I

5:24

post this video the ETS will be approved

5:26

who knows I suspect though some kind of

5:29

either settlement or some kind of

5:32

resolution will have to come from this

5:33

SEC case before you can actually get a

5:36

clear ETF approval my take now what does

5:41

the SEC want well the SEC wants binance

5:45

bam trading and Zhao to basically never

5:48

again participate in any kind of

5:52

Securities transaction that is

5:54

unregistered okay that's a problem

5:56

because basically every crypto

5:58

transaction is unregistered almost with

6:01

the exception of some security tokens

6:03

that go out and actually get like a

6:04

regulation a crowd fund or whatever

6:06

pretty much everything is

6:08

unregistered so the SEC is essentially

6:10

saying we'll let you do crypto like

6:13

they're not saying you're permanently

6:15

banned from doing anything with crypto

6:17

they're saying you're permanently banned

6:18

from doing anything unregistered with

6:20

crypto which basically means if they

6:23

agree to this settlement and then a

6:27

btcf gets approved

6:29

guess what happens the SEC is basically

6:32

saying the only thing we will allow you

6:35

to do in America is trade the Bitcoin

6:38

ETF that's a huge Catalyst for the

6:41

Bitcoin ETF they're basically saying

6:43

look we need everything registered and

6:46

other than if it's not registered you

6:48

can't trade in it basically basically

6:51

what they're saying now what's really

6:52

interesting about that is I personally

6:55

believe that well first of all there's

6:57

this index called the uh crypto Gap

6:59

Galaxy Bloomberg index it just tracks

7:02

various different uh prices for

7:04

different crypto assets I think that

7:07

kind of index and then having an ETF

7:09

that tracks that index is probably going

7:12

to be the next Frontier for crypto so

7:14

it's not just a Bitcoin ETF but it's

7:16

going to be an avalanche a madic a

7:18

Solano ethereum cardono ETF because the

7:21

tax benefits of investing in crypto and

7:23

then being able to rebalance via an ETF

7:26

are are are massive but on top of that

7:28

it also gives you diversification it's

7:30

kind of like investing in the S&P 500

7:33

it's fantastic that is a great

7:35

opportunity I actually made a video on

7:37

this uh about a week or so ago uh the

7:40

video is titled you could watch this and

7:41

I explained some of the tax benefits of

7:43

the ETF just search for the video uh the

7:46

video where I again I break down exactly

7:49

what those tax benefits are how those

7:51

work in an ETF the video is titled quote

7:53

no one is paying attention to this next

7:56

crypto Game Changer crypto ETF ETFs and

8:00

custom crypto ETFs of different

8:02

allocations or whatever but I think

8:04

you'll essentially have an S&P 500 of

8:06

crypto it'll be like the crypto Galaxy

8:09

50 or whatever so that'll come and

8:14

binance will probably only in the US be

8:16

able to transact on registered

8:18

Securities which various different ETFs

8:20

would then be registered Securities so

8:23

it's a huge Catalyst for those however

8:25

it's not the best Catalyst for anything

8:26

that's not in the ETF rapper so it would

8:29

appear that potentially your lowest risk

8:32

in crypto is paying attention to crypto

8:34

assets that may have an ETF made after

8:36

them like who knows is cardono going to

8:39

get one is solomatic uh you know polygon

8:42

are they actually going to get ETFs will

8:44

ethereum get an ETF we don't know right

8:46

now most of the Hope seems to be on

8:48

Bitcoin now uh as far as Bitcoin JP

8:52

Morgan does have a negative

8:54

counterargument to what I'm saying here

8:56

they think that a lot of institutional

8:58

money is is already speculating and

9:01

locked up into crypto via the grayscale

9:04

Bitcoin trust that's a problem because

9:07

if the grayscale Bitcoin trust converts

9:09

to an

9:09

ETF and then the value pumps there's

9:12

potentially $2.7 billion that could flow

9:16

out of crypto at that moment because

9:18

finally that money will be unlocked

9:20

which had been se you know basically

9:22

trading for a discount for a long period

9:23

of time finally it'll be unlocked at

9:25

spot and so JP Morgan says look if all

9:28

that money stays in crypto we could stay

9:31

solid you know maybe people just move

9:33

from the uh uh grayscale Bitcoin trust

9:36

as an expensive ETF uh eventually ETF

9:39

right now it's not an ETF because there

9:40

is no ETF approv if it moves from

9:42

something like that to maybe like a

9:44

Kathy Wood you a 21 shares ETF then at

9:47

least it stays in the crypto Market you

9:49

keep that buying pressure up and you

9:51

don't see a collapse in valuations

9:53

however they see quote substantial

9:55

potential downside risk after an ETF

9:58

conversion in the short term as

10:00

institutions leave the already locked up

10:02

grayscale Bitcoin trust now that's

10:04

really interesting because I've

10:06

previously argued that it seems weird

10:08

that we're seeing a lot of pumping by

10:12

institutions of crypto going into or

10:15

institutions with crypto exposure going

10:17

into this ETF approval like it's one

10:19

thing if we have retail pump in it

10:21

because you know that's what we do as

10:23

retail you know it's like hey we're in

10:25

on this man we're all in on this like

10:27

we're excited about it right but the

10:29

level of pump I'm seeing from the

10:30

institutions is is a little sus and so I

10:33

kind part of me is like huh I wonder if

10:35

JP Morgan is right and and after that

10:37

grayscale Bitcoin trust converts you end

10:40

up seeing a temporary dip and then I

10:42

wonder is that the dip that you

10:43

potentially look at buying because

10:45

remember now you open up the floodgates

10:47

to potentially new fund managers wanting

10:50

crypto exposure so for example let's say

10:52

you in theory you you were running a a

10:55

pricing power style ETF let's say in

10:57

theory and you wanted to include you

10:59

know a little bit of a hedge or some

11:02

kind of diversification via crypto you

11:04

can't do that today but you could do

11:07

that once a Bitcoin ETF is approved

11:09

that's why it's a game changer so

11:11

obviously uh you know BTC moving pretty

11:14

excitedly right now uh after the uh you

11:17

know binance settlement with the doj

11:19

that came as pretty expected uh I said

11:22

it immediately as it happened this is

11:23

bullish for Bitcoin uh it's not bullish

11:25

for Zhao there are fears that he might

11:28

never return that he'll just take the L

11:30

on the $200 million of bond or whatever

11:32

that he paid and burn the people who

11:33

helped spot that and that it'll never

11:35

come back he says obviously he'll come

11:38

back he's sort of pretending to be

11:40

retired on Twitter right now when the

11:42

reality is he's you know it's it's just

11:44

not a retirement you're potentially

11:46

facing a jail sentence here and we're

11:48

not even on the SEC settlement yet like

11:50

we're just on part one part two coming

11:53

is is going to be the real one uh Duwan

11:56

uh former CEO of Terra formal Labs

12:00

obviously from the teral Luna collapse

12:02

who wiped out you know went went over

12:03

$45 billion were wiped out in a week uh

12:07

well at least in market cap so not

12:08

necessarily nominal value but anyway uh

12:11

he is expected to be approved for

12:12

extradition to the United States

12:14

remember he was found in a Montenegro

12:16

airport it's kind of silly that he ended

12:19

up trying to travel on his passport well

12:21

I guess I I don't know if they ended up

12:22

finding his fake ID or how they ended up

12:23

pulling it off but yeah you know a lot

12:25

of cameras at airports anyway that's how

12:27

how they found him and uh obviously uh

12:31

there is you know continued flow of

12:33

information on Argentina Argentina will

12:36

be really interesting as they

12:38

potentially push for some form of

12:40

Bitcoin as legal tender adoption when El

12:43

Salvador adopted Bitcoin they did so uh

12:45

at a pretty rough time for Bitcoin

12:47

prices basically went straight down so

12:49

uh public confidence in Bitcoin was very

12:51

little only about 133% of people were

12:53

confident in Bitcoin that could be

12:55

different having an Argentinian adoption

12:57

during a Bull Run that would be a much

13:00

better time uh the last time we've also

13:03

seen Bitcoin sit about at uh 38,200 was

13:06

about 570 days ago as you can see we

13:09

just hit about 38,400 back down under

13:12

38k right now and apparently FTX is

13:15

using a new form of currency to get

13:18

things done in jail mackerel bags yeah

13:23

fish he's got fish crazy crazy world

13:26
