Massive news overnight with the second largest asset manager on the planet, Vanguard, now allowing ETFs in crypto to be traded and focused on their platform literally starting tomorrow. Over $8.7 trillion of assets under management. Everyone knows Vanguard and it's been a long term stance that they've reversed that they were never going to allow crypto and now they are starting that as of tomorrow. This is the future of crypto. This is what a lot of people in the short term don't understand. Yes, it's choppy right now. Yes, there's a lot of bearish conditions. But the long term for crypto is what is going to give access to the everyday person, which is through platforms like Vanguard. This is what's going to bring mainstream adopt. This is what's going to bring the new demand liquidity. And this is why I continue to be massively bullish on crypto in the medium to long term. Stop looking so short term. Yes, it's choppy, but this is the thing that's going to drive us forward.
