🚀 Today is the day.

SpaceX is debuting on the Nasdaq. Ticker: SPCX. Price: $135 per share. The largest IPO in history.

And there’s a story within the story that no one is telling in the headlines.

Elon Musk, founder and owner of 40% of SpaceX, can't sell a single share for a year.

But there’s a group of investors personally selected by SpaceX executives who can sell from day one. No lock-up. No restrictions. Right from the opening bell.

SpaceX reserved 5% of the offering for this special program. The participants were chosen at the discretion of the management team.

Morningstar has already published its analysis: the fair value of SpaceX is between $1.1 and $1.7 trillion. The exit valuation is $1.77 trillion. The high end already discounts years of perfect execution.

An Australian hedge fund has already announced it will short its position as soon as possible.

While retail investors are coming in through the front door at $135 $USDT per share, some of those who have been invested for ten years are looking for the exit.

This doesn’t mean that SpaceX is a bad company. It’s probably the most extraordinary of its generation.

But in the markets, the starting price and the real value are two different things.

Are you going to jump into SPCX today or do you prefer to wait?

📅 Today is a historic day for the markets.

SpaceX makes its debut on Nasdaq. The largest IPO in history.

Bitcoin is trading close to $61,000 $USDT production cost zone, extreme fear, bear cycle.

And tomorrow, Friday, June 12, both narratives are going to collide.

Why does tomorrow matter?

Because it's the first full trading day of $SPCX . If the debut generates euphoria and the price spikes, the narrative of "capital flowing to tech stocks" gets reinforced. More pressure on crypto.

If SPCX disappoints and the price drops from the $135 launch, as Morningstar suggests it should, that capital will seek a new home. And crypto is the most liquid and accessible market in the world.

Meanwhile, the Fed meeting on June 18 is approaching with a CPI of 4.2% on the table. The market no longer expects rate cuts this year. But it does expect signals.

Three days. Three catalysts. Three potential directions.

What I know for sure is this: markets in extreme fear, with on-chain accumulation data, near the production cost, with institutions buying directly… don’t usually stay at that level forever.

When it changes, nobody knows. But that it will change, history confirms.

Are you positioned for when the change comes?

El jueves pasado, miles de usuarios en España 🇪🇸, Francia 🇫🇷, Italia 🇮🇹y Polonia 🇵🇱 recibieron un email que nadie esperaba.

El asunto decía, sin rodeos: “Importante información sobre tu cuenta.”

Lo que encontraron adentro los dejó fríos.

Su exchange favorito — el más grande del mundo por volumen — les informaba que desde el 1 de julio ya no podrá prestarles servicios.

No porque quebrara.
No porque los hackearan.
Sino porque no obtuvo la licencia MiCA a tiempo.

Dieciocho meses de negociaciones con Grecia. Una solicitud que ellos mismos describían como “compliant”. Y al final, una retirada silenciosa justo antes de recibir el rechazo formal.

El resultado: más de 400 millones de europeos quedan sin acceso legal al exchange que usaban.

Mientras tanto, Coinbase, Kraken y OKX ya tienen su licencia MiCA activa.

De más de 3,000 empresas cripto que operaban en Europa, solo 210 lograron la autorización. El 7%.

El 93% restante desaparece del mercado regulado — o trabaja en la sombra.

MiCA no es una amenaza futura.
MiCA es ahora. Hoy. Mañana.

¿Tienes cripto en una plataforma europea? ¿Ya verificaste si tiene licencia MiCA vigente?

🪎 Back in 2021, everyone was on the hunt for the next big coin.

By 2026, the game's changing.

Big gains aren’t just about finding some unknown token anymore.

They’re about spotting narratives before everyone else does.

$BTC Bitcoin.
ETFs.
Tokenization.
AI.

Every cycle has its dominant story.

The question is:

What narrative is going to move billions of dollars in the next 24 months?

Because by the time it hits the news, it’ll be too late.

The biggest profits rarely come when you buy.

They come when you understand something ahead of the crowd.

What narrative do you think will dominate the next cycle?

👇 Drop your thoughts.

🏦 While Crypto Twitter keeps debating whether Bitcoin will hit $200,000…$USDT

Something way more important is happening.

Institutional funds are stacking infrastructure.

No memes.
No narratives.
No promises.

Infrastructure.

The biggest funding rounds for 2026 aren't going into new trendy coins.

They're going into projects that will enable millions of AI agents to operate on blockchain.

The question isn’t which token will 10x.

The question is:

Which networks will survive when billions of transactions are no longer made by humans, but by machines?

Most of the market is still looking at today’s candlestick chart.

Smart money is building for the next 10 years.

Do you think the next cycle will be driven by humans or by AI agents?

💰The first time Strategy sold Bitcoin in 4 years…
…and nobody understood what was really happening.

The headline dropped like a bomb: Strategy sold 32 $BTC

Traders panicked. The networks flooded with conspiracy theories. "Don't they believe in Bitcoin anymore?" "Is the collapse starting?" The Fear & Greed Index hit 24. Extreme fear.

But there's something almost nobody mentioned.

They sold 32 BTC out of a total of 843,706. Just 0.0038% of their treasury. To pay a preferred dividend. A routine accounting maneuver. And they did it at $77,135 $USDT per coin — above the current market price.

They sold high. On purpose. And the market still freaked out.

While retail was selling in terror, something else was happening quietly:

Bitmine accumulated 5.62 million of $ETH , which is 4.66% of the entire circulating supply. With 4.7 million already in staking, generating $219 million annually in yields. Tom Lee isn't speculating. He's building a digital asset bank.

Franklin Templeton filed with the SEC for two ETFs that redirect stock dividends straight into Bitcoin. Launch expected: September 2026. Hundreds of thousands of traditional investors accumulating BTC unknowingly, automatically, each quarter.

While you were reading that headline about the 32 BTC and feeling scared, someone with a team of 40 analysts and billions under management was buying exactly what you just sold.

This is not a bear market.

It's the market filtering who understands the long-term game and who is still making decisions based on 6-word headlines.

How many times have you sold because of a headline that turned out to be noise?

🔌⚠️ You just plugged in a USB to your computer.

You opened what looked like a normal Word document. Correct name, correct icon. Everything seemed fine.

But it wasn't a file. It was a gateway.

Microsoft just revealed that since February 2026, a malware called CryptoBandits has been siphoning #crypto from Windows users in an almost invisible way: it installs itself from infected USB drives, monitors the clipboard every 500 milliseconds, and the moment you copy a wallet address to make a transfer... it silently swaps it for the attacker's address.

You paste. You confirm. The funds land in another wallet.

It also captures seed phrases and private keys. It transmits everything over the Tor network to leave no trace. And when it detects a clean USB connected, it infects that too.

Even Binance distributed Microsoft's alert to its users.

When was the last time you checked, character by character, the destination address before confirming a transaction?

💵 Franklin Templeton just registered two ETFs with the SEC.

And their setup is unlike anything we've seen before.

They don’t ask investors to buy Bitcoin directly. Instead, they take the dividends generated from shares of major U.S. companies… and automatically convert them into BTC exposure.

They’re called “Bitcoin DRIP”: starting with 95% in equities and 5% in Bitcoin. That exposure can ramp up to 20%. The dividends do the heavy lifting on their own. No extra decisions needed from the investor.

If the SEC gives the green light, they could launch in September 2026. Bitwise is already predicting over 100 crypto ETFs in 2026. The institutional floodgates are wide open.

Is the “DRIP” Wall Street's stealthy way to accumulate Bitcoin without anyone noticing?

Dividends turning into BTC by themselves. Institutional accumulation doesn’t need to make a fuss anymore. 👀 #Bitcoin

🏦 Bitcoin is trading today at $62,837. $USDT

It dropped for four consecutive days.

But it’s not panic driving the market. It’s something colder: the Fed under Kevin Warsh left rates unchanged but made it clear that their priority is inflation, not growth. And the market read that perfectly.

Marex analysts described it this way: the positioning in crypto is "defensive and thin." Nobody is running away. They are waiting.

The key support remains at $60,000. Bitcoin has already bounced off that level twice in 2026. If it doesn’t hold… $BTC the next floor marked by the techs is between $40,000 and $45,000. $USDC

Is this a healthy correction before the next impulse, or the start of something deeper?

#btc #bitcoin #FranBerlin #InstitutoBlockchain

😱 The Fed spoke. Bitcoin dropped. And 9 officials want to hike rates.

Yesterday was a historic day for the markets. Kevin Warsh held his first press conference as the chair of the Federal Reserve, and the outcome was clear: a new era of tougher, more opaque, and unpredictable monetary policy.
What happened in numbers:

📌 Rates: unchanged. Range 3.50%-3.75%. Exactly what the market expected.
📌 The dot plot — the projection from each FOMC member — removed any cuts expected for 2026. Back in March, there was at least one. Not anymore.
📌 9 out of 18 officials now project a rate hike before the end of the year. Three months ago, none did.
📌 The probability of a hike for December jumped from 8% to 80% in just hours.
📌 Bitcoin dropped from ~66,500 USD to ~63,851 USD. The entire crypto market pulled back.
📌 The Fear & Greed Index is at 21: Extreme Fear.

But there's more that the headlines don't tell.

Warsh refused to publish his own rate projections, an unprecedented move. He said the dot plot "is not useful for monetary policy formulation." He released a 130-word statement, compared to the previous 341-word release. He announced 5 working groups to reform the Fed "from the ground up."

In other words: the new Fed chair is demolishing the communication manual that markets learned to read over the last 15 years, and building a new one. With no instructions.

For Bitcoin, the context is this: $BTC has dropped after 8 of the last 9 FOMC meetings. But in the following 30 days, it has historically bounced back in all cases.

On Friday, the U.S.-Iran peace deal is signed in Switzerland. The Strait of Hormuz reopens on June 19. If oil continues to drop, inflation may ease, and the rate hike scenario weakens.

The macro is writing the next chapter of BTC in real-time.

Do you think the Fed's hawkish signal is temporary, or are we facing a real cycle change?

☎️ What are 'covered calls' and why did BlackRock just change the game for Bitcoin?

This week, something happened that many overlooked amidst the market noise.

BlackRock launched BITA on Nasdaq this past Tuesday. It's not just another BTC ETF. It's the first financial product in history that turns volatility of $BTC into monthly income.

Let me break it down, without unnecessary jargon:

🔑 The base: BITA holds real Bitcoin, through IBIT, BlackRock's spot ETF with over $51 billion in assets.

🔑 The mechanism: The fund sells covered call options on those positions. Basically, it tells other investors: "I’m selling you the right to buy my Bitcoin at a fixed price in the future, and you pay me a premium now."

🔑 The income: Those premiums are distributed monthly to BITA holders. The goal: between 15% and 25% annual yield.

🔑 The cost: If Bitcoin skyrockets above the agreed price, BITA holders don’t capture all that profit. They give up some upside in exchange for constant cash flow.

Who does this make sense for? For institutional investors who don’t want to speculate on BTC’s price, but rather receive a predictable monthly check while maintaining exposure to the asset. The fee is 0.65%, lower than competitors (0.95-0.99%).

What this means for the market: Bitcoin has stopped being just a 'bullish bet.' Now it’s also an income-generating asset. That semantic shift has huge implications for institutional adoption.

Ironically, BITA arrives just as Fed's Warsh pointed out yesterday that there are no rate cuts on the horizon and that they might even hike rates. A product that pays monthly income from Bitcoin becomes more attractive precisely when money gets more expensive.

BlackRock has outpaced Goldman Sachs. And the market has just learned a new concept: Bitcoin as an income instrument.

Do you get how a covered call works now?

🕙 The secret ceremony that nobody could know about, and Edward Snowden was there.

In 2016, just as Zcash $ZEC was about to launch, its creators faced an existential dilemma: if anyone knew the "master key" of the system, they could mint infinite coins, invisibly, without leaving a trace.

The solution was a unique ceremony in the history of cryptography.

Six individuals, in six different countries, each generated a fragment of that key… and then they had to destroy it. If at least one was honest and destroyed their part, the network was secured for good.

The protocol was executed on computers that were subsequently incinerated. Some participants live-streamed the process. They used physical dice to generate entropy. One participant connected their computer via a USB radio to avoid any digital tracking.

For 6 years, no one knew who the sixth person was.

In April 2022, it was revealed: it was Edward Snowden. The same guy who exposed the NSA's mass surveillance. He participated silently, without announcing it, as a public service act.

"I did it because I believe in privacy," was all he said.

The irony is brutal: the most surveilled man on the planet helped build the world’s most private coin.

And the story doesn't end there. This week, Zcash remains at the center of the debate: a 4-year vulnerability was discovered in its privacy protocol, and the network responded with an emergency hard fork.

The question that nobody can answer: did someone exploit it before it was found?

Did you know the story of the Zcash ceremony?

📚 This morning BlackRock kicked off trading on Nasdaq with something that a lot of folks don't quite get.

It's called BITA: the first income-generating Bitcoin ETF in history.

BlackRock got the green light from the SEC last night and listed it today, getting ahead of Goldman Sachs.

How does it work?

BlackRock takes its own ETF of $BTC Bitcoin (IBIT, the largest in the world with ~49 billion dollars) and sells call options on it.

When you sell a call option, you collect an immediate premium. But in exchange, you cap your profit if the price spikes significantly.

Simple example:

Bitcoin is at $66,000 $USDT and BlackRock sells a call option at $72,000. They collect a $500 premium.

If Bitcoin hits $80,000, the option buyer pockets the difference. BlackRock doesn’t.
If Bitcoin stays at $68,000, BlackRock keeps the premium and the Bitcoin.

The result: a target yield of 15–25% annually, but with capped upside.

This attracts pension funds and institutional investors looking for Bitcoin exposure with regular income flow.

It’s not for everyone. But it’s how institutions are starting to “tame” Bitcoin.

Do you prefer pure Bitcoin or Bitcoin with yield?

💎 While everyone is buzzing about Bitcoin and Solana, there's a token that just quietly revamped its economic model.

It's called $JTO It's the token from Jito Labs. @Jito

Jito isn't widely known, but it controls the majority of the staking with MEV on Solana — the mechanism that captures value from each transaction before it's confirmed in a block.

This week, they confirmed the launch of JTX for July: a self-custodial trading platform for Solana with professional-grade tools.

The game-changing detail:

80% of all revenue from JTX goes directly to JTO holders.

Not to the protocol. Not to investors. To the holders.

This makes JTO something unique in crypto: a token with real cash flow tied to trading volume.

The news sent JTO up more than 28% in a single day.

Nobody mentioned it in yesterday's headlines.

Did you know about Jito before reading this?

🧨 Back in 2018, Telegram raised $1.7 billion $USDT in the largest private ICO in blockchain history.

The token was called Gram.

Pavel Durov promised a payment network for 700 million users. The white paper was flawless. Investors — top-tier institutional funds — put their cash in.

Then the SEC came knocking.

In 2020, the Commission determined that Gram was an unregistered security. Telegram had to refund the money, pay a $18.5 million fine, and scrap the whole project.

The token never hit the market under that name.

Years later, the community resurrected the network under the name $TON Without Telegram. Without Durov.

But yesterday, June 15, 2026, something surprising happened: 81% of the holders voted to revert back to the original name. TON is GRAM once again.

The conversion is automatic. 1:1. No action needed.

What the SEC forced to kill six years ago, today returns with the same name.

Poetic justice or a nostalgia trap?

💽 Back in 2013, James Howells tossed a hard drive into the trash.

But it wasn’t just any hard drive.

Inside were 8,000 Bitcoins. $BTC

He worked in IT and had mined those coins back in 2009 almost by accident, when BTC was worth pennies. He cleaned it all up without a second thought. And that drive ended up in the Newport landfill, Wales.

Today, that drive is worth over $500 million. 💀$USDT

Howells has been trying for years to get permission to dig it up. The local council keeps saying no. Their reasons: environmental impact, cost, and a policy on "non-recoverable waste."

The landfill has over 1.5 million tons of accumulated garbage.

A few months ago, Howells made a formal offer with robotics and AI tech to do a surgical dig. Newport said no again.

The drive is still there.

Buried under tons of Welsh trash, just waiting.

Would you have kept trying, or would you have written off that money as a loss?

💥 Back in 2010, a guy offered 10,000 Bitcoin $BTC for two pizzas.

Nobody took him seriously.

Laszlo Hanyecz posted his offer on the Bitcointalk forum one Tuesday afternoon. He had been waiting for days. He was a programmer, mining Bitcoin from his home in Florida, stacking coins that were worth nothing concrete at the time.

Four days later, a 19-year-old in California accepted the deal. He called Papa John's, paid $25 dollars $USDT with his credit card, and received 10,000 BTC in return.

Those two pizzas are worth over 600 million dollars today.

But there’s something almost no one mentions about this story.

Laszlo knew it.

In 2011, when Bitcoin started to pump, he said in an interview: "I don’t regret it. Someone had to be first."

He didn’t want to get rich. He wanted to prove that Bitcoin could work as real money.

And he did.

Would you have sold those pizzas... or would you have bought them? 🍕

⚽️ The World Cup has kicked off. And with it, the scams have too.

TRM Labs — a leading blockchain intelligence firm — released a report this week identifying active fraud operations targeting World Cup 2026 fans.

They've already detected three schemes in play, all up and running before the first match:

Two fake ticket sales sites mimicking official portals, redirecting payments to scammer wallets. A scheme involving fixed match bets paid in crypto. And all linked to four on-chain addresses already identified.

The accumulated damage so far is under $1,700. But TRM warns this is early-stage infrastructure: scammers build their operations weeks before the tournament and scale up when global attention peaks.

The logic is brutally simple: 6.5 million expected attendees, $40.9 billion in global economic impact, and millions of people hunting for tickets, bets, and themed tokens through unofficial channels.

The golden rule: if you're asked to pay in crypto for tickets or bets with guaranteed outcomes, it's a scam.

TRM Labs' on-chain analysis is exactly the type of tool we should be integrating into consumer fraud prevention. In digital law, chain tracking is not optional — it's the new financial intelligence.

Are you one of those going to catch a match? Or are you following the World Cup from the risk analysis side?

💥 One of the most important segments of the crypto ecosystem continues to evolve.

Derivative products linked to digital assets are gaining more and more relevance within the global financial infrastructure, driving new opportunities for both institutional and retail players.

The trend points towards more mature markets, greater operational transparency, and an increasing integration between traditional finance and digital assets.

Beyond each investor's preferences, it's interesting to observe how innovation continues to transform the way we interact with Bitcoin and other digital assets.

What changes do you think we will see in the coming years within the crypto market?
