AVI SETI

Hey everyone 👋
Okay, pour yourself something warm. Because today is actually a really interesting day and I want to talk through it like we're just two friends catching up.
First — how are you doing? I know this market can feel exhausting. One day BTC is kissing $80,000 and everyone is celebrating. Two days later it's back at $76,000 and the fear is creeping back in. It's a lot.

So let's just slow down for a second and look at what's actually happening.

The biggest news of the week happened yesterday in Las Vegas.

SEC Chair Paul Atkins stood at the Bitcoin 2026 Conference — the same conference where every major crypto voice is gathered — and officially declared that the era of "regulation through enforcement" is over. He announced that the SEC is working on joint guidance with the CFTC. He mentioned an "innovation exemption" for tokenized securities.
For those of us who've watched the SEC sue Coinbase, sue Ripple, sue everyone in sight for the past few years — this felt like exhaling after holding your breath for a very long time.
Then Israel did something remarkable.

They approved their first ever regulated stablecoin — the digital shekel, called BILS — and built it on Solana and Ethereum. A sovereign government. Choosing crypto rails. For their national currency. Audited by EY. Developed with Fireblocks.

I don't know how to overstate how significant that is. Governments don't experiment. When they commit — they commit.

And then there's the debate nobody can stop talking about.

Michael Terpin — the "Crypto Godfather" who's been in this since 2013 — says we're going to $57,000 in October before any real bull run begins. He says we haven't seen true capitulation yet.

Arthur Hayes — BitMEX co-founder — says $125,000 by end of year. His thesis: the Iran war is forcing massive US defense spending, banking deregulation is unlocking trillions in new credit, and all that liquidity has to go somewhere. It goes to Bitcoin.

Honestly? I find myself somewhere in the middle.

The short term data is mixed. BTC got rejected twice at $80,000. The Coinbase Premium Index flipped negative — meaning US institutional demand cooled a little. Oil is back above $104. The Strait of Hormuz is still closed.
But zoom out and the picture looks very different. SEC clarity. Israel choosing Solana and Ethereum. $500 million in XRP whale accumulation this month. Arthur Hayes' liquidity argument. The Federal Reserve making their rate decision literally today.
Today's Fed decision is huge.
If they signal rate cuts are coming — crypto reacts immediately and aggressively. If they hold and sound hawkish — short term pressure continues.
Either way, I want to leave you with this:

The fundamentals of this market have never been stronger. Governments are building on crypto. The SEC just flipped friendly. Institutions are accumulating while retail is nervous.

The short term is always noisy. Always.

But the direction? I think we both know which way this is heading.

Stay warm. Stay patient. And check the Fed announcement later today. 🚀

Hey everyone 👋
I want to be completely honest with you this morning.
I've been following crypto for years. I've seen bull runs. Bear markets. Exchange collapses. Regulatory crackdowns. Meme seasons. ETF launches.
But this week feels different. And I think you need to know why.

Let me walk you through what's happening right now — all at the same time.
The Bitcoin 2026 Conference is happening in Las Vegas as you read this.
Every major player in the industry is in one room. Deals are being made. Announcements are being prepared. The energy at these events historically precedes major price moves.
The Federal Reserve is making their rate decision this week.
If they cut rates — or even signal cuts are coming — risk assets including crypto will react immediately and aggressively. Kevin Warsh, the DOJ just cleared him of any criminal probe, is now 97% likely to be confirmed as the next Fed Chair on prediction markets. Warsh is seen as pragmatic on markets. That's good for crypto.

SEC Chair Paul Atkins gave his first major public address on digital assets today.
Paul Atkins is widely considered the most crypto-friendly SEC Chair in the agency's history. His speech on market structure could signal the end of years of regulatory uncertainty. When the SEC stops being the enemy — this entire market reprices.

And then there's Western Union.
A 175-year-old company. The company that literally invented global money transfer. Just announced they're pivoting to blockchain. Not experimenting. Pivoting. This is the equivalent of Blockbuster Video announcing they're becoming Netflix — except it's going the right way.

Meanwhile, BTC is sitting at $77,900. Hovering just below $80,000. In an ascending channel. With Peter Brandt — one of the most respected chart readers in the world — confirming the structure is bullish, just not $250K bullish yet.

And Trump? He hosted a dinner at Mar-a-Lago for his memecoin holders last weekend. The sitting US President. Using crypto as a political and social tool. Normalizing it for millions of people who've never owned a single satoshi.

Here's my honest take for this week:

Watch $80,500 on Bitcoin. A clean daily close above that level — with the Fed rate decision as the potential catalyst — could trigger the short squeeze that traders have been waiting for since funding rates went negative 47 days ago.

Watch Paul Atkins. His words today could reshape the entire regulatory landscape for XRP, ETH, SOL, and every other coin that's been living under SEC uncertainty.

And watch the altcoins. APT up 4.2%. ATOM up 8%. ALGO up 3.64%. The rotation is beginning quietly. When it accelerates — it moves fast.
I'm not telling you this is guaranteed to go up. Nothing in crypto is guaranteed.
But I am telling you — if you're going to pay attention to crypto any week this year — make it this one.
Stay informed. Stay positioned. Stay patient. 🚀

Hey everyone 👋
I want to start this Monday morning post with something that genuinely stopped me in my tracks.
Last night, shots were fired at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. President Trump was evacuated. Chaos. Drama. Breaking news everywhere.
And Bitcoin — within minutes — climbed from $77,200 to $78,200.
Not down. UP.
I've been in this market long enough to remember when any political shock would send crypto crashing. Bad news meant red candles. That was the rule.
That rule just broke.
What happened last night tells me something important about where we are in this cycle: Bitcoin is no longer just a risk asset that follows stock markets down when things get scary. It's becoming a political hedge — an asset that goes UP when trust in traditional systems goes down.
And with a shooting near the US President, US-Iran tensions, oil at $103, and global uncertainty at levels we haven't seen in years — that narrative is getting stronger every single week.
But let me zoom out even further and show you the full Monday picture.
BTC is at $79,032 this morning — knocking on the $80,000 door for the third time. ETF inflows are on a 9-day consecutive streak. Bitcoin whales on Hyperliquid have been building aggressive long positions all through February, March and April. Funding rates are still deeply negative — meaning the short squeeze, when it comes, could be violent.
Meanwhile, Kevin O'Leary announced this week he's going Bitcoin and Ethereum only — abandoning all altcoins. His reason: scale and survivability. Only BTC and ETH have proven they can make it through anything.
And XRP? CoinDesk flagged a triangle squeeze forming near $1.44 — a compression pattern that always resolves in a big move. Whale wallets added $500 million in XRP this month. The pressure is building.
Here's my honest Monday take:
$80,000 is the level everyone is watching. A clean daily close above $80,500 triggers the short squeeze, forces the bears to cover, and could open the door to $83,000-$85,000 quickly.
If it fails? We consolidate between $76,000 and $80,000 a little longer. That's fine too. The trend is intact.
The world keeps throwing chaos at this market. War. Shootings. Oil shocks. Political drama.
And Bitcoin keeps holding. Keeps climbing. Keeps proving skeptics wrong.
Start your week with that perspective. 🚀

Hey everyone 👋
I spent time this week tracking every major traditional finance move in crypto during April 2026.
What I found was honestly more than I expected.
Let's go through it — one by one.
Morgan Stanley launched a Bitcoin ETF on April 8. Analysts put it in the top 1% of all ETF launches in history. Then they filed for a Solana ETF. Then this week they launched a Stablecoin Reserves Portfolio fund — building financial infrastructure for Tether, Circle, and crypto stablecoin issuers. Their 16,000 wealth advisors are now recommending crypto to clients.
BlackRock's IBIT has been leading Bitcoin ETF inflows. Cumulative total across all Bitcoin ETFs: $58.55 billion. In 8 consecutive days this month alone: $2 billion.
Goldman Sachs filed their own Bitcoin ETF in April.
Deutsche Börse invested $200 million into Kraken earlier this month.
Bitmine built a treasury approaching 5 million ETH — buying $230 million worth in a single week.
Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) now holds over 300,000 BTC after buying $2.54 billion worth last week alone.
Tesla still holds 11,509 BTC — not selling.
Swiss institutions poured $120 million into XRP ETPs in one week.
And at the government level — Trump signed the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve into law. The US government is now officially a Bitcoin holder.
That's Morgan Stanley. Goldman Sachs. BlackRock. Deutsche Börse. Strategy. Tesla. The US government. Swiss banks.
All in. In one month.
Now look at the prices.
$BTC at $78,126. $ETH at $2,313. $SOL at $86. $XRP at $1.42.
These prices — with this institutional lineup — will look extremely different 6 months from now.
I'm not telling you what to do with your money. That's your decision.
I'm just showing you the list.
The list doesn't lie. 🚀
