In this daily crypto‑news video, host Crypto Mason opens with a community shout‑out and a reminder that his channel’s “Gold Squad” embodies excellence. He reports that the overall crypto market has rebounded into the green, with the total market cap climbing back toward $2 trillion and a 22 % daily increase. Mason criticises anyone who sold during the recent dip, calling panic‑selling “dumb,” and points out that many assets (e.g., Cardano) are now up 20‑30 %. He notes a rise in Bitcoin dominance to 43 % and highlights the top‑ranked coins on LunarCrush, naming IOTX as the “coin of the day.” The centerpiece of the update is the announcement that Chainlink has joined Hedera Hashgraph’s governing council and will serve as Hedera’s preferred oracle, a move intended to accelerate enterprise blockchain adoption. Mason explains the composition of Hedera’s council (including firms like Google, IBM, Boeing, and major banks) and notes that the council still has slots to fill. He then moves to a series of side‑news items: a scathing take on Elon Musk’s recent Doge‑related tweet, arguing Musk should be banned from crypto unless his companies adopt the technology; South Korea’s new stance that virtual assets are risky and should be transparent, with the prime minister and financial regulator weighing in; Instagram’s upcoming professional‑development panel for NFT artists; and a clip of a crypto commentator questioning the SEC’s treatment of Ethereum as a security. A brief interview‑style exchange touches on why certain projects are being launched from Switzerland for regulatory reasons, and a definition of tokens that function as securities. Mason then dives deep into Quant Network’s QNT token, playing a clip of CEO Gilbert Verdian who describes QNT as a pure utility token at the core of the Overledger network, used for licensing, transaction fees, and a wide range of enterprise DLT applications. Mason is bullish on QNT, noting its capped supply is lower than Bitcoin’s. He caps the video with data from Google Trends showing a record‑high global search interest in cryptocurrency, and showcases a visual market‑bubble tool (cryptobubbles.net) that maps market sentiment. The video ends with a call to subscribe, like, and comment. Overall, the video blends market data, partnership announcements, regulatory updates, influencer commentary, and token‑specific analysis to inform and persuade the audience about current crypto opportunities, especially highlighting Hedera‑Chainlink collaboration and Quant’s utility token.

What is up? I am Crypto Mason and welcome back to the Crypto Mason YouTube channel. You guys are the Gold Squad. I have changed the name from Gold Excellence to Gold Squad. I just think it sounds better to call a group of people a squad. Instead of, uh, gold excellence. But the principle still applies. There is nothing standard about anybody on this channel. We are all excellence. We are all above standard. There's nothing standard, and we know that. We know that about ourselves. But we're gonna get into a daily market update today. We've got some super duper good news, as you see in the title of the video. Uh, we've got some stuff from Ripple right here, HBAR of course. Chainlink, we've got South Korea news, some bullshit Elon Musk news, we've got a bunch of stuff today. But we're about to hit 30,000 subscribers on this channel, so definitely if you're new here, drop a subscribe, drop a comment, uh, and drop a like. Um, and let's get into it. So as we see, the entire market is back in the green. The global crypto market cap, $1.86 trillion, we're climbing back up to the $2 trillion. Um, up 22.33% increase over the last day. So like, this is why I said if you sell, you are dumb as hell, specifically on that huge drop right there. That was my main message, was if you sell— uh, like, I woke up and literally tweeted that. If you sell, you're dumb as hell, because now if you sold, unless you did it for like tax loss harvesting purposes or some kind of strategic sell If you sold out of panic, I'm sorry, but you are dumb as hell. We— you could have just been— could have just been on my live streams and holding strong, uh, because I was not panicking at all. We don't panic, um, even though we check the news on Crypto Panic. We don't panic. So everything is back up. Whatever you bought is back up 20%. Do you see how you could easily— if you would have bought Cardano, you're up 30%. Like, do you see how this works? Cryptocurrencies go down so that they can go up at a later date. That's literally it. This market is on a rainbow. I do believe that. That's my personal opinion, where we are just like this, it's just like that. And of course there's little dips along the way. Bitcoin dominance has also spiked up to 43.04. You can see the little spike right there. Um, so that's interesting right there. Lunar Crush, if we check the social charts, we've got Binance Coin at number 1. We've got COTI, Zilliqa, Nano. Of course, SafeMoon's ranking up there. ERSDL is one that I hold as well. The coin of the day is IOTX. Very interesting, I've never checked that out. Now the big news of the day right here, the amazing news of the day: Chainlink is becoming a governing council member of Hedera Hashgraph. As it's, Hedera will integrate Chainlink as its preferred oracle. Wow, preferred oracle. To accelerate enterprise blockchain adoption. They join the governing council to support initiatives connecting traditional finance services to on-chain protocols. Insane right there. Now if you're new here and you don't know about Hedera, this is the governing council, folks. Avery Dimension, Boeing, Chainlink, Deutsche Telekom, DLA Piper, one of the biggest law firms in the world. You've got Google, IBM, Standard Bank of Africa, biggest bank in Africa by assets. You've got Shinhan Bank, an extremely big South Korean bank. You've got LG. Insane governing council, and they still haven't filled it up. I think there's 39 corporations that need to be on here. So we'll slowly get them, get it filled up. So that's something to look forward to is getting some more governing council members on Hedera. Now Mr. Elon Musk has tweeted out, how much is that Doge in the window? Click it and you see it says Cyber Viking right here. He's got a little book thing with a Doge and it's a $1 bill. I mean, cool, cool. We do not care, bro. Stop manipulating the market. Stop tweeting about anything. He should be banned from crypto is how I feel. How I feel. Unless he wants to make his companies actually use some of these things. Like Tesla, or I mean SpaceX, get with Hedera Hashgraph. Tesla, get with Ethereum or something. Like, come on, stop playing around with it. We've also got South Korea switches its course on crypto amid the backlash over regulator's remarks. So basically Kim, who's the prime minister, the newly elected South Korean prime minister, says virtual assets involve risk. There will definitely be an effort to manage transparency in transactions. Financial Services Commission Chairman Eun Sung Soo, sorry if I butchered that, had said last month that cryptos were neither financial assets nor currencies. And I agree that they're not currencies. None of these are currencies. It's, it's not really like that. Like Bitcoin, maybe XRP, maybe. But a lot of these are not currencies even. Like, it's no longer about which crypto is going to be the one that you pay for your coffee with. Not about that anymore. That's the old argument of like, I don't know, people who, who are ignorant to crypto. Instagram is hosting a professional development panel for NFT artists. Basically June 8th to June 10th, they have a panel for NFT artists. So it's good to see this being adopted, the NFT space being integrated with, uh, social media like this. Now we've got a clip from Digital Perspectives and Notorious XRP right here. He's tweeting at the SEC. He says, how is Ethereum not a security again? Asking for some friends who are being wrongfully sued by your agency. So wow, and And if we watch this video, which we're gonna watch it, it's 2 minutes and 5 seconds. Watch what Vitalik says right here.
So you said that you guys are looking to incorporate and do this out of Switzerland, and you're purposely— you come from— you live in Canada, right?
Yes.
And so you're purposely not doing it in Canada, and you're purposely not doing it in the US.
A large part of that is regulatory reasons.
Okay.
A large part of that is regulatory reasons. He said Vitalik lives in Canada and he's purposely doing the stuff in Switzerland.
Token, a digital asset where I give you my money and you go off and make a venture. You have some company you want to start or something, and in return for me giving you my money, you say, you know what, I'm going to give you a return, or you can get a return in the secondary market by selling your token to somebody. That is a security, and we regulate that. We regulate the offering of that security, and we regulate the trading of that security.
Non-technical people, right, and they want to invest into Ethereum. How can, uh, first of all, how does that work? I mean, when, when they— you guys were gonna, uh, launch in February, and now it's been put, put forth, you know.
So we're So it's not the launch that we have. So we are going to start the Ether presale in a couple of weeks. So the Ether presale will be an opportunity for anyone to purchase Ether. Ether is the internal currency inside of the Ethereum system.
Okay. Technology. Somebody decides that they can do it better. They can do it better than Bitcoin. They can even do it better than Ethereum. So there is an argument right there that Ethereum could be made out to be a security. But who knows, like, I mean, there's some people that think after XRP, the SEC is going to come at Ethereum again. I think they already did, um, but we have no clear answer. Um, also we've got Gilbert Verdian, which is the Quant Network CEO, explaining the utility of the Quant token. Watch this, this will make— this makes me super duper bullish on Quant just to see how important they actually value the token. Um, by the way, this is from— who is this from? VH on Twitter. Um, yeah, this is very bullish because you'll see how highly he speaks of the token, like the actual QNT, as making it as a utility token.
And it's actually evolved. So QNT is— with what's coming in the first half of 2021, which is not that long from now, The Overledger network is going live. We'll be having anyone hosting gateways to run their own gateway on their own servers and their infrastructure. That means they will pay for licenses in QNT and all the transactions can be billed using QNT across the network. And so our, our job is to create this open ecosystem where anyone can be a participant, where Duke is in the background bringing enterprise and institutional use cases to the network. We, we have lots and lots of meetings every week with governments, with enterprise, with institutions, with, with clients who want to build new technology and new multi, uh, what we call MDAPs, so multi, uh, multi-DLT distributed applications, uh, on top of the network. So the QNT token is, is at the core of everything that we're doing, uh, and what happens is if you own gateways and you run, uh, this on the network when you process transactions, you get paid in QNT. It's, it's a great ecosystem that we're building, and this will evolve. You know, we want to, um, make it the currency in the payment option for all the data and the transactions that are being put on the network, so people can actually trade in QNT. And it can be used for hundreds and hundreds of use cases around, uh, you know, AI data, uh, if you want to do an mDApp on payments, if you want to do an mDApp as an exchange, if you want to do Um, yeah, anything, uh, you know, computes, if you want to create like an AWS equivalent on, on the Overledger network, all of this is possible. So QNT has just become that, you know, pure utility token that can be used for everything.
Literally insane right there. And one thing that makes me like question is why did they choose the supply that they chose? Why did they choose a supply that's under Bitcoin? The max supply of QAN is under Bitcoin. That makes me super bullish right there. Now we've got this quickly from Google Trends. Cryptocurrency is at an all-time high for search interest worldwide. We are trending, folks. Should I sell my crypto spiked 400%. Environmentally friendly crypto. Look at this, insane, insane right there. And also I want to point out this crazy website right here called cryptobubbles.net. I found this on Twitter.
It's a—
this is dope. Like, this shows a visual representation of the market, and look how many red bubbles we've got right now. Uh, I guess this hasn't updated or something like that because I think a lot of this is wrong, but very interesting. That is all we have for today.
