Chapters

Absolutely wild news just came out. The SEC chair, Paul Atkins just came out on national television and it said that US Markets will be on chain within two years. Now, how can we make the most of this and what does it actually mean? Well, if you buy and sell equities right now or stocks, it is basically verifiable through the equities provider, the brokerage, and it's all done through paperwork. It's all, you know, back end numbers, it's delayed and it's not instant. On chain markets basically mean they're going to take those equities and have them on a blockchain represented on, you know, a verifiable distributed ledger. Now, as investors in crypto, these are going to go on layer one blockchains. It could be Ethereum, Solana as an example. These are the two that I have in my portfolio and I'm very bullish on Ethereum, for me will be the most, you know, probably sought after blockchain that potentially these markets will end up be verified on. And that is why the layer 1 blockchains are so valuable. It's why I'm a big believer in Ethereum and I've been owned Ethereum since $80. If this actually comes to fruition, which I believe it will, and it's going to be a big push for Trump, then we will see crypto become more in the mainstream and blockchains continue to grow based on the volume of equities and the volume of price is going to be going through these. These markets are going to be absolutely unbelievable. The fact that the SEC chairs come out and saying this is wild, huge news for crypto.
