In this daily market update, Crypto Mason (Mason Versluis) delivers a high‑energy commentary on recent price action and speculative opportunities across several cryptocurrencies. He opens with a visual comparison of Quant’s recent pump versus a historic XRP mega‑pump, then walks through live price charts, highlighting Quant’s surge toward $3.90 on Coinbase, Hedera Hashgraph’s (HBAR) 1,311 % rally from a 3‑cent entry, and modest gains in XYO and other altcoins. Mason argues that Quant may be signalling the start of a “utility season” due to its interoperability platform that connects enterprise APIs, IoT, and blockchains. He references community posts—Digital Asset Investor’s warning about potential SEC insider trading in ETH/XRP, Mr. Whale’s critique of click‑bait “FOMO” thumbnails, and Moz3ph’s data showing Quant ranking fourth on Coinbase Pro after Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. The segment also covers a fresh SEC investor alert about scams (e.g., BitConnect) and highlights Hedera’s expanding ecosystem and token service. The video concludes with a short clip of Ethereum co‑founder Joe Lubin asserting confidence that Ethereum will not be classified as a security, underscoring regulatory concerns. Throughout, Mason mixes market analysis, speculative enthusiasm, and criticism of hype‑driven content, urging viewers to take profits on certain positions (e.g., Zinfen) and to watch for upcoming utility‑driven rallies.

What is up? I am Crypto Mason and welcome back to the Crypto Mason YouTube channel. Shout out to the Gold Squad. We look for gold in every single aspect of our lives and we always find it. Now we have another daily market update for you today. Make sure you drop a like. We hit 1,000 likes on the other video yesterday, so we can do it again, 100%. But we're gonna cover, like we do every day, we're gonna cover all the things that mean stuff in the crypto markets. No meaningless random Bitcoin madness. We cover the stuff that actually means stuff. Uh, so yeah, that, that's what we're gonna do today. I've got some great stuff lined up. We gotta talk about Quant. We have to talk about what the hell is going on right now because this is like pure insanity. Okay, so let's get straight into it. By the way, Ripple Decoded Part 6 has been filmed and it's literally— I just need to make the thumbnail for the video. It will come out one of these days soon. Um, another, another hour and 30 minutes of pure decoding. Okay, we're gonna start off with this. Okay, not even starting off with the markets, I just want to show you this. Okay, this was sent to me in the Discord, um, and look at this. Okay, these are the runs. Look, Quant hasn't even ran half of this, half of all of these, right? I'm pretty sure these are the mega pumps. Like, this was the XRP mega pump. And it's comparing it. But I just wanted to start off with that. Let's get into the market right here. $51 billion— I mean, $51,000 on Bitcoin, um, $3,900 on ETH, still $2.85 Cardano. So look at Litecoin at $222. If we sort by the biggest gainers, we have OMG is up there, FTX, and then we've got Quant right here. If we take a look at Quant, this is the Quant chart on Coinbase, okay? Coinbase is the chart that's the most crazy for Quant. This Coinbase chart is always going way higher than the other charts. Um, we have a pump to almost $3.90 right here. I think we did hit $3.90. So like, what is happening, man? This is so gorgeous right here. This is the definition of gorgeous, watching this thing pump. Obviously we had a pullback right here, um, small pullback to $3.26, but dude, who cares, man? We're above $300. Who cares, bro? Who cares? Look what we've done. Turn it to the daily chart. Look what we've done. Okay, this doesn't have much history, right? The Coinbase chart doesn't have much history. I think Bittrex might have more. Nope. Okay, what is going on there? Here we go, Quant. Okay, none of the charts have history. Apparently they only have it till February. Okay, that is enough though. But look what we've done. Crazy stuff. Okay, crazy stuff is happening. I have this right here mapped out for HBAR. I wanted to show you— damn it, it went away. I wanted to show you if you got in at 3 cents, which I did, right? And then this coin pumps This coin pumped 1,311%. 1,311%, right? Um, right here, 1,311%. That's nothing. That's nothing. Coins have— there's has been coins that have done 7,000%, right? I think HBAR is gearing up to do something near the end of this year. And actually break all-time high again and hopefully go to $1. That's what I want to see. If we take a look at XYO, we are up 23% right here. Crazy stuff happening. Once again, this is turning into the swing trade coin, I think, uh, where it just up and down, up and down. Look at these. You could have caught these and made a bunch of profit. So Quant $3.30 right there. Hedera Hashgraph $31. $1.37 XRP. Zinfen $0.14. Don't hesitate to take profit on Zinfen, man. If you've been in since $0.01 like I have, take some profit on Zinfen if you want to. It looks like it's ran out of steam, but I, I mean, it might have a huge run at the end of this year. Vector Space. I do think Quant has signaled, um, utility season. I think Quant literally did signal utility season as soon as Quant pumped above $100. That is what I said. I said on TikTok, go watch the damn video. I said, has this signaled— has this signaled a utility bull run? I don't know. If we look at the bubbles, mixed day, some red, some green. We love seeing Quant, biggest bubble. Let's get into the news right here. At US SEC releases fresh investor alert. This is new. This was September 1st. They issued an alert and basically they're just reinstating that they charged, uh, BitConnect with $2 billion, or the $2 billion scam they charged BitConnect. So they're talking about how, uh, many people are taking advantage of digital assets for scams, and we know this, but I just wanted to throw that in there that they are still actively making warnings and things, right? The whole thing is going to be to create a problem of too many scams and then fix it with regulations, right? So they always need an excuse to move. Crypto Sleeping Giant says people are starting to notice that HBAR is the next big thing. Very few projects can compete with the Hedera network hashgraph technology governing council. Absolutely facts. Look at this. Absolutely. Hedera token service live on mainnet 60+ Ecosystem partners. Look at all those, all of those, right? This is gearing up. It is ready to take over the world, right? Hedera Hashgraph is ready to take over the world. There's just something holding it up, and I swear to God, it's really— it's regulations, man. I'm telling you, I'm sorry to say it, but regulations are going to be a great addition to this space. It's going to legitimate legitimize it, and this market cap can feel comfortable getting up to the 10 trillions. Um, here we go. I wanted to get back to the basics of Quant. Why is this thing doing so well? Well, this is why it's doing so well, because look what it runs. This thing runs all of this and can connect all of this. You see the, the breadth of things here, right? Intel, among Samsung, among Oracle, banking APIs, Internet of Things APIs, enterprise blockchains, normal blockchains, payment APIs, right? This can connect all of it. It is leading the charge of actual interoperability, right? Look at this: connect any network to any network at scale without overhead or limits. This is what we're dealing with. It's a It's the god of interoperability. And I don't care about people arguing Polkadot and all this weird stuff. Come on, man. Do you see the progress we're making with Quant? It's literally above Hedera Hashgraph. It's above it. So what has, what has happened? That's clearly showing that Hedera is waiting to make a move. Digital Asset Investor right here. If it is found out that the SEC employees or their families were allowed to trade in ETH or XRP, we have ourselves a very big problem in this country. So this is the main thing people have been talking about, is insider trading at the SEC. Have these people really, like, are they trading XRP? Like, what are they doing? So if that comes out, I, I agree with Digital Asset Investor, it's going to be massive. Mr. Whale says, next time you start feeling FOMO, just look at this picture. We show this all the time. This is called open mouth disease in crypto. Um, if you're a YouTuber and you're opening your mouth like this in these thumbnails. Look at this guy's tooth. Like, what are you doing, dude? Looking like a fool out here. Bitcoin going to $1 trillion. Million-dollar alt. FOMO in now. Why would you tell people to FOMO in now? Like, this is disgusting. So next time you start feeling FOMO, look at this picture, okay? Wow. I try to not open my mouth in thumbnails just because of these people. Um, and this is who we're dealing with as, as, as, as other crypto people. These people get 50,000, 100,000, 200,000 views, these people, and they're telling people to FOMO in now. Like, come on, bro, focus on some real shit. The real shit will just win in the end. That's how I know that we will prosper in the end. Moz3ph says Quant Number 4 traded on Coinbase Pro. The other 3 are top 10 coins. Take a look at this, man. Coinbase Pro, we have Bitcoin as the most traded, then Ethereum, then Solana, then Quant, then Cardano. So the other 3— Cardano is a top 10 coin too, right? The other 3 are top 10 coins. So what does that mean? Quant might be coming for the top 10. It might be coming. I think it is. I think it's coming from the top 20, actually. I think— I actually think it's going to go to where Solana came from, you know what I'm saying? Like where Solana just came from. Final clip right here. We're just going to play a little bit of it. Look at what Joe Lubin says right here.
How did you feel about that? Where you feel stressed about what might happen if it were established as a security?
We were extremely confident that it would never be seen to be a security. We did a huge amount of legal work, about 7 months of legal work, um, back in 2014 before, uh, we launched.
So first, take a look at that shirt. He's got the eye on his shirt. A lot of people point that out. But what he says here is they've done a lot of, uh, legal work and they're super confident that Ether is not a security, right? They're super duper confident. So I don't know why they're getting this guy to be the dude who gets sacrificed. Every single clip I see talking about Ether and security is this guy. Um, so that's what we're dealing with right there. Digital Asset Investor put a bunch of, uh, questions right there. But that is all we've got for today. Thank you so much for watching. Make sure you follow on Twitter, Instagram, join the Telegram, join the Discord, and, and, uh, follow on TikTok. And that's all we've got. I love you all and goodbye.
