In this 13‑minute YouTube vlog, Crypto Mason (Mason Versluis) delivers a rapid‑fire crypto market roundup and commentary on several breaking developments. He opens with a snapshot of the overall market cap ($1.71 trillion) and key price levels (BTC > $40k, ETH ≈ $2.5k, XRP $0.87) and highlights the day’s biggest gainer, AMP, noting its promotional boost. He then dives into the upcoming $1.5 billion Ethereum options expiry on June 25, explaining the price thresholds ($2,200 bullish, $2,100 bearish) and referencing the March 2021 expiry as a precedent. Next, Mason discusses Ripple’s partnership expansion with DLocal and Amazon in Brazil, questioning whether XRP will be used, and provides an update on the SEC‑Ripple lawsuit, emphasizing Ripple’s argument about lack of fair notice. He critiques a misleading Spark token claim, labeling it outdated misinformation. He announces Hedera’s (HBAR) upcoming listing on Bitrue and the ability to stake via PowerPiggy at 2 % APR. He reviews INX’s acquisition of ILS Brokers, noting concerns about the broker’s legal history. Mason then presents a detailed tracker of Jed McCaleb’s XRP dumping (jed.tequ.dev), calculating average daily sell‑off rates and estimating the remaining days until his holdings are exhausted. A brief clip of Fox reporter Ivory Hecker is included, alleging internal censorship at Fox Corp. The video concludes with a promotional plug for the health supplement “SheLegit,” followed by standard calls to like, subscribe, and follow on social media. Throughout, Mason’s tone is informal, opinionated, and occasionally humorous, while the content mixes factual market data with personal commentary and promotional material.

What is up? I am Crypto Mason and welcome back to the Crypto Mason YouTube channel. Shout out to all the Gold Squad members. Uh, we look for gold in every single aspect of our lives. Now we've got a jam-packed video, folks, jam-packed video. So much stuff just came out overnight, and, um, you're definitely going to want to watch to the end of this because there's some very important stuff, uh, contained in this video. Before we get into it though, make sure you drop a like right now. Just take 5 seconds, drop a like, drop a comment. I would highly appreciate that. And let's go. Here we go. We've got 1.71 trillion on the market cap. Bitcoin has remained above 40,000. Um, or at least right now it's above $40,000 by $171. We've got Ethereum at $2,500. There's some very important Ethereum news, I'm gonna put it first after we get through these prices, um, it's very important. $0.87 on XRP right here. So everything looking kind of mixed and kind of stable, honestly. There's a lot of zero, zero little gains, little movements here. 24 hours, we've got the biggest gainer still is AMP. AMP is getting a lot of hype just because it's taking this promo slot. You've got to remember, this is a promo slot essentially. When your coin is making it on the top 100 gainers list, it's getting major promo because thousands of people are clicking this and seeing it. We've got ThorChain, ICON, uh, not a fan of ThorChain. ICON decent. Clayton, not a fan. Chiliz decent. The Graph decent. Terra Luna decent. Polygon amazing. Hedera amazing. So that's my little ranking of those. But now the more important stuff right here. Ethereum is having $1.5 billion worth of options expire on June 25th. Now you guys know I don't like the dates, right? Like, probably nothing will happen with this. But it is important that Ethereum stays above $2,200 by the end of this month. Um, if it stays above $2,200, that would be super bullish for Ethereum. But if it drops below $2,100, then this is going to be bad right here with the options expiry. And look at this, so, um, this is the largest options expiry in 2021, $1.5 billion. We know this happens every month there's options expiry every month. This figure is 30% larger than March 26 expiry, which took place as Ether price plunged 17% in 5 days and bottomed near $1,500, right? So, so, um, before— I'm expecting a lot of the price action with Ethereum, if it does happen, it's going to be before this June 25, not on it. It'll be before, um, because there's going to be people wanting that price to go down, um, because they'll make money. Now, however, Ether rallied 56% after the March options expiry. So honestly, I'm okay if we get a major crash on Ethereum. I will be buying the hell out of it. That's all I could tell you. But this is pretty important. We saw with the Bitcoin options expiry, jack shit happened. So don't get your hopes up or down for this. Um, here we go. We got some big news from, from Ripple. Now, Dlocal is a Ripple client, and they have just expanded their partnership with Amazon. Yeah, Amazon. Um, to let international merchants sell goods in Brazil. So right here, here's the press release. Um, basically at— on January 5th, 2021, so the beginning of this year, they announced their partnership with Amazon, and they were doing stuff in Paraguay. And we saw that Paraguay, uh, was involved with trying to get involved with Bitcoin. So they're using— DLocal uses the RippleNet. DLocal uses the RippleNet. And now they're bringing— see, look at this beautiful graphic— now they're bringing, um, services to Brazil with this. So that is dope. They're expanding their partnership Um, as you can see, it says— does it even say on here? I would have to go to the Ripple website, I believe. Yeah, but they're— they are using the RippleNet. I don't know if they're using XRP. See, that's the problem with this. I don't know. Um, but hopefully once we get clarity on XRP as a digital asset, they will flip the switch and begin saving money and using XRP. But who knows, who knows, anything can happen, folks. The US SEC is asking institutions to consider these 4 factors before trading Bitcoin. The SEC is warning investors of general investment risk levels. Future funds may not move with Bitcoin market. Okay, SEC, you guys, uh, we're not fans of you right now, so we ain't listening. Digital asset investor— now a lot of people are flaming him for this. They're getting really mad at him for this. He says, what? Spark is intended to be a stablecoin. Gains not to be a big issue. We're told it's going to be fairly stable. By who? Um, so listen to this clip and then I'm going to diffuse the clip because this is pretty, pretty bad right here what he put. This now, since this is intended to be a stablecoin I don't expect gain to be a big issue since it's going to be fairly, uh, we're told it's going to be fairly stable. So he's basically regard— he's talking about Flare. And now Mickey B Fresh, who's an OG in the space, um, he's very well, well educated on Ripple. He says, this is old information from years ago. The design was changed. This tweet needs to be deleted ASAP. Major misinformation. Um, then he's calling out Digital Asset Investor, and Crypto Aries here saying no, he's reading from an old doc just after Xpring invested. I made this same mistake early on. Um, a lot of misinformation. Um, so basically, basically, uh, this is bullshit. It's an old, it's an old, uh, document that that he's reading from, and this is an old clip. Um, but Spark, we'll see what happens with the Spark token. Anything can happen with this stuff. We've got to keep that open. Here's the XRP lawsuit update. Judge Netburn continues to provide a fair and even hand. She has made a blow to the SEC's case. Here it says Ripple focuses on the SEC's failure to provide fair notice to the market. Um, as to whether XRP qualified as a security. So basically Ripple is saying that the SEC should have, should have provided notice that this could be qualified as a security, um, which makes sense. That makes sense. But they let it go on for like 8 years of, of using XRP and selling it. So I don't know why they wouldn't just stop it right away. Were they trying to rack up a case? I don't know. We've got some good news for Hedera right here. HBAR will begin trading on June 17th on Bitrue. Now I love Bitrue as an exchange. We can also use PowerPiggy and invest your HBAR in PowerPiggy at 2% APR. So essentially you can stake, um, HBAR. Now you can also do this PowerPiggy thing. I've never done it before myself, but you can do it with XRP as well. So definitely check out that PowerPiggy. Bitrue is a great exchange. They've always supported XRP. They even have trading pairs for XRP, right, which is amazing because it's so fast, right? You can transfer your XRP instantly with no fees around, around, right, and then trade it. So use the trading pairs. Michael Delving right here, um, is saying, hmm, INX is paying millions for a shady broker with a spotty legal history that happens to have been founded by the current INX president. So then he's replying to this from Security Token Market: INX has just bought another company right here. INX has just announced the purchase of ILS Brokers. So it looks like they are going on a, on a, uh, shopping spree. It's an Israel-based inter-dealer broker with over 50 Tier 1 and Tier 2 global bank relationships. So super big right here. ILSB is an NFA member. Um, Shai Datika has a comment there. So very interesting. I guess if Michael Delving here is right I guess, um, it's a shady broker with spotty legal history. Who knows, maybe they're trying to flip it into something good. I don't know, I don't know. I haven't done research on ILS Brokers, but INX seemed to be purchasing some companies and getting some stuff in place. Now this is from SEC Suck It. SEC Suck It. Okay, nice name, buddy, nice name. This is just a random reply, by the way. His name is SEC Suck It with a middle finger. Okay, okay. Uh, Jed runs out of XRP at the current rate in 59 days. So this is actually not true, but it is close to that. Not 59, but it's close. So basically, this is the wallet that Ripple gives, um, Ripple. So you can actually track all of this. It's all tracked on the blockchain. I got a hold of the wallet addresses. This is the wallet that Ripple controls, and they actually send XRP to Jed McCaleb, right? To Jed McCaleb. So you can see right here, this is on, um, uh, what is that, June 3rd? And they sent him 408 million XRP. And Taco Stand, it goes to this wallet It goes to the Taco Stand wallet. Um, as you can see, huge transactions in and out of this. And then it goes to this one, which is his selling wallet, his selling wallet. And he sells to Bitstamp apparently. So you can see the whole thing take place, right? Um, and this is his other— I think this is his wallet too. Um, no, this might be Ripple's wallet. But I found a website called jed.tequ.dev, and this actually is tracking Jed's balance because we are counting down the days until this dude runs out and stops freaking dumping on the market. So on one week average, he's dumping 11 million XRP, which would mean it would end in 101 days, his balance, if he kept going. This is amazing. I'm about to— yeah, this is a good website. One month average. If he continues on his one month average, it would take 94 days. If he continues on his three month average, it would take 88 days for him to run out of XRP. Um, so let's go, let's go. I can't wait till he runs out of XRP. Now the last clip we have right here, I just wanted to throw this in, nothing to do with crypto, but I like these type of attitudes that are coming out. On the news. So listen up to this. This is hilarious. Outages across the region.
Fox 26 reporter Ivory Hecker is live in Montgomery County to take a look at that aspect. Thanks, guys. That's right. Before we get to that story, I want to let you, the viewers, know that Fox Corp has been muzzling me to keep certain information from you, the viewers. And from what I'm gathering, I am not the only reporter being subjected to this. I am going to be releasing some recordings about what goes on behind the scenes at Fox because it applies to you, the viewers. I found a nonprofit journalism group called Project Veritas. It's going to help put that out tomorrow, so tune into them. But as for this heat wave across Texas, you can see what it's doing to AC units.
Look at that. I love to see that. She said, uh, she just blew the COVID off some stuff. Um, but that is all we've got for this video. Jam-packed video, very important stuff. We got INX acquiring companies. We got Ethereum options expiry. We've got DLocal and Amazon, which I didn't even know was a thing, to be honest. I didn't know DLocal was with Amazon. Uh, what else? We had a bunch of stuff in here. We saw that the Jed website— that's so valuable. The Jed website is just valuable in itself. But that is all we've got. Make sure you drop a like, follow on Instagram, Twitter. Shout out to all the people who made it 13 minutes through this video and you're here with me right now. I'll show you my SheLegit. Look at that, my SheLegit. Um, get you some SheLegit, okay? Gets you some SheLegit. S-H-I-L-A-J-I-T. It's good for you. It has, um, like all the minerals your body would need, plus fulvic acid, which actually, uh, makes them work. It makes them work. I think it breaks them down into small enough particles that it actually gets through your cell walls. And this is a problem with medicine that they give you. The shit is not even big enough to penetrate into your cell walls, therefore it just stays there and does jack shit. But this ain't no health channel. Health, wealth, and self though. We are about health, wealth, and self. Um, but thank you for watching. And goodbye.
