Regulation & Safety Trends to Monitor in Bitcoin, Ethereum

up 2/10. Klarna up 1.2. Right now it's time to take a closer look at Bitcoin, Ethereum and more in the crypto report. So let's welcome in Nathaniel Bradley CEO of Data Vault AI. Nathaniel always nice of you to join us. So we're seeing Bitcoin higher today. What does that signal do you think it does suggest that appetite is returning or should we not be like reading into just one session do you think. Well 1% gains significant across Ethereum and Bitcoin today. I think you see you know the most activity since May in both. So when I look at it, I really feel, you know the the the appetite is certainly been there. You this could be a function of really people coming off of that break and coming into, you know, basic utilization of this tool. I think the crypto sector is enjoying here an increase, you know, based on the confidence and the use of these of, of crypto across the board. And I think you can see here that, you know, that this, this increase is significant enough to really get a lot of those juices flowing again, you know, and get people back involved with this 100%, right? Yeah. Because the market has turned somewhat bearish. I mean, particularly when you look at the DeFi guys compared to, say, the traditional finance momentum that we're seeing. But, you know, you mentioned the second straight week of positive ETF inflows for Bitcoin, second time that's happened since May. Are these kind of the signs that you look at to kind of distinguish whether this is sustainable, whether this has legs and is durable? Well I think the nearest near-term catalyst is Clarity Act. We've seen that slip out of the the Senate floor in terms of the vote on the Senate floor. That remains to make this law. Clarity Act is on the precipice of being passed. And you can see here people mobilizing to own more cryptocurrencies as they become more usable, as they become more utilized in, you know, these proper markets that are that are looking at it as now more than just a phenomenon, it is a way of doing business. It's a way to speed up in particular aspects of business. And you can see this tool becoming more useful in particular when it becomes legal in the United States, to use it in many more ways. Where are we up to with all of this? Because, you know, every day we hear pieces of, you know, some progress being made on some part of this act. I'm just wondering if you have a sort of timeline in mind if it's going to be such a major catalyst for this asset class. Well, when you look at the entire exchanges going to token formats, you know, the the New York Stock Exchange itself announcing that with, you know, by the end of the third quarter, we're going to be trading on, on, on really crypto infrastructure economic infrastructure. So you can see that that, that in itself becoming a catalyst for much larger adoption. These tools, you know, speeding up commerce and providing so much utility and quite honestly, a better way moving forward in terms of many of the ways that we transact or need to transact crypto represents a quicker, safer, a better audit trail with respect to many transactions. And you can see the Clarity Act really bringing this to bear where in order for our markets and in America to stay competitive, to stay ahead, we need these tools, right? And obviously, with this five week high today, I saw that Bessent had something to say about this as well, that lawmakers were at the one yard line right now on the Clarity Act. So that seems to be helping as far as some of the official commentary is concerned, when you look at crypto related stocks companies, who is this actor? Who would this law be good for and not so good for, do you suspect? Well, certainly organizations that have embraced Tokenomics. You see, IBM has a very robust token approach. Companies that have been ahead of the curve securitize. That just went public, certainly ready to feast on this, you know, self-serving date of all AI is a company that's well positioned with respect to the Clarity Act passage. You can see also banks potentially being the losers in this with respect to those that have not done a great job, organizations like Pfizer, that, that that have robust economic strategies and strategies that embrace, embrace crypto to fiat conversion is a huge business from crypto to fiat and back organizations that are positioned as middleware in that space tend to be winners in this space. I'd say Pfizer, well positioned organizations like securitize that have built their entire business model on this. Certainly Coinbase and Ripple, big winners in this. All right. A few names to look at. You know, obviously, as we continue to track the progress of the Clarity Act. Nathaniel, always enjoy you coming on the program. Thank you
