🚀 XRP BLACKROCK ETF!? XRP IN GOVERNMENT? THIS IS VERY BULLISH! HBAR, QNT, CSPR, XLM & MORE!

In this extensive market‑update video, Crypto Mason (Mason Versluis) delivers a high‑energy overview of the current crypto landscape, targeting his "Gold Squad" audience. He starts by setting a market‑cap goal of $2 trillion and highlights the day’s biggest gainers (Siacoin, Fetch.ai, Dimension, Manta, StarkNet) and losers (Optimism, Filecoin, Beam). He discusses Bitcoin’s $51k range and scalping opportunities, then dives into a series of project‑specific analyses: Covalent (personal investment, interoperability), XYO, Propy, Quant, Algorand, and others. A major focus is on Hedera (HBAR) – covering Circle’s removal of USDC from Tron, the resulting shift of USDC to Hedera and Stellar, Hyundai/Kia partnership announcements, and a detailed walkthrough of the HashPack wallet airdrop process. He also reviews the StarkNet airdrop impact, and promotes the HBAR Bull airdrop initiative. The video features a clip of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse discussing the inevitability of XRP ETFs and potential BlackRock involvement, which Mason interprets as bullish. He then shifts to political commentary, supporting XRP‑backer John Deaton’s Senate run. Additional segments include updates on Casper’s Bybit listing, Alvara’s upcoming on‑chain ETF launch, Commonwealth’s free VC fund and XP farming airdrop, DTEK’s vehicle‑IoT assistant, and sponsor mentions (CoinLedger, private Discord). Throughout, Mason emphasizes long‑term holding, buying the dip, and leveraging under‑the‑radar projects for future gains.

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 today we have a giant video. Some giant stuff, uh, is happening that is going to be bullish for HBAR and XRP. Um, we're going to talk about Quant, Algorand, all of the coins that we love on this channel, but we've also got some secret projects or under-the-radar projects that I am personally invested in that are launching very, very soon. We're going to talk about those and we're going to give you the best market update and calm your nerves because are you missing out on the bull run? You're not missing out. $50,000 Bitcoin is nothing compared to where we will be. So make sure you guys drop a like on the video If we hit 777 likes on today's video, I will run a 100 XRP giveaway. And guess what, folks? You guys smashed the like goal on the last, uh, YouTube video. Uh, so join the Discord, go to the free crypto channel, and you will see a 100 XRP giveaway inside of there. Now let's get into the market here. So we are at 1.94 trillion We are still battling the $2 trillion. I want to see us get $2 trillion and then use it as support, right? That's our main goal right now in the market, is to pump above $2 trillion, well above $2 trillion, and use it as support. Um, and then, you know, these prices won't come down from where they're at. Biggest gainers, we've got Siacoin, Fetch, Dimension, Manta. A lot of new faces, right? Like Some of these coins are new coins that you would have never seen in the top 100 just like 6 months ago or a year ago, and definitely not 3 years ago. The whole top 100 looked different. Okay, so Siacoin, decent. Fetch.ai, decent. Dimension, don't know much about it. Manta Network, I've heard is great. Um, and then we have StarkNet who is entering the top 100. They just did their, uh, their airdrop, I believe. And this is the type of chart you get with airdrops, right? You get this type of chart where it's just straight down because the people who got all the, the money in the airdrop are selling up here, and it creates a lot of selling pressure. Now, I don't care, okay? I don't care if projects use airdrops as marketing. I think it's just, you know, it's gonna create a chart like this. You're gonna have a ton of sell pressure. Right? So in this video, we're actually going to talk about some airdrops that are happening. One is on HBAR, um, and then we're going to talk about Commonwealth, which is an insane opportunity in my opinion. But StarkNet just had their airdrop right there. Uh, biggest losers again, we've got Optimism, Filecoin, Beam. Interesting projects. Immutable X has been killing it. This is one that you know, we've been talking— me and Megan have been talking about for since it was down here, right, in 2023, since it wasn't even a dollar. So if you guys just listen to the projects that are being talked about and really dive into them and figure out if you like, uh, the play or not, um, you could have got in before it was even a dollar. Um, and for Immutable X, I— this is still early, right? This thing has been, uh, when it launched, up to like $8, and hopefully we can get there again. Now let's talk briefly about Bitcoin. We're still hanging around $51,000 right here, $51,359. I've been hitting some nice scalps, uh, as you can see over the last 7 days we've had a nice chop. This is the perfect thing to scalp, right? This is like the perfect environment for scalping because you can catch these moves and make those profits. Now let's keep it moving to some of the altcoins that have been exploding, man. Uh, Covalent, first of all. Now I am a holder of Covalent, okay? Um, I am a— I'm personally invested. They are not a sponsor of this channel. Me and Megan put our own money into Covalent, and this is at 30%— or sorry, 30, uh, 30 cents, and it's also up 30% on the month. 48% on 7 days, and we're getting a little dip for you guys to get in if you would like. 4% down right now. Um, and you know, this is still early. You might look at this chart and think, you know, this has already exploded. Dude, this ain't nothing. And you can see that by zooming out on Covalent. We're just getting started, right? This is like technically gonna still look like an accumulation period in my opinion. Um, do some research into what Covalent is doing. They are the perfect complement to Quant in your portfolio. In my portfolio, Covalent is one of those main interoperability plays. Then we've got XYO. Yes, I'm still bullish on XYO, folks. I don't just talk about projects and then like I'm bearish the next day, right? It doesn't work like that. I'm an XRP holder of 6 years, 5 years. I'm an HBAR holder of 2 years now. I have the mindset of a long-term investor. I am able to hold these projects for longer than anyone else, right? And that's when you get these type of gains. For example, excuse me, if you would have bought in 2023, look at the gains you're getting right now on XYO. And we've been talking about XYO for years. So if you don't hear me mention a project in a while, feel free to come into the Discord and tag me. And ask me if I'm still bullish, but 99% of the time I'm gonna say yes. Okay, now another one that I am personally invested in is Propy, who's also exploding right now. So we're seeing a lot of awesome altcoin explosions, uh, happening, and this is what we want, right? You want to pick this up on the dips and wait for the explosion. It's simple. Easier said than done though. Now let's get into this crazy news, uh, for HBAR. Um, and Stellar actually. Okay, Circle, which is the company who makes USDC, the stablecoin— Circle has discontinued support for USDC on Tron. This is a big deal. This is huge. Okay, there's like something like $50 billion of USDC circulating on Tron. Okay, so they have completely, um, discontinued TRON/USDC. This is giant, okay? When I send crypto to people, like in my daily life, or I get paid from something in crypto, I use USDC on TRON, or I use USDT on TRON, okay? And the reason for that is because a lot of other people use it, and it's just a $1 fee in comparison to Ethereum, which is like a $5 fee. Okay, here's the bullish thing here though, okay? And by the way, they make this clear that this was for compliance and risk management, so they don't want to associate with Justin Sun and the whole Tron ecosystem. I've never been bullish on Tron for one minute in my life, okay? It is absolute garbage in my opinion. Like, it is like very scammy feeling. And I've been, I've been at conferences, crypto conferences, where the Tron team approaches me in person and they're just weird. I don't mess with them. I don't like Tron at all. I've never have. Okay, I've known about Tron for a long time too. Back in 2017, I believe, I was looking at Tron, uh, as a, as a coin that was like under 1 cent, because that was the whole, that was the whole rage, was finding coins that were under 1 cent. Now here's the bullish, uh, thing here. Circle actually has support for Hedera network. So USDC is actually on Hedera. Now the issue here is that right now not a lot of people are gonna be accepting of you saying, hey, can I pay you, uh, with USDC on HBAR? Not a lot of people are going to be going to be down with that, whereas Ethereum and Tron, they're going to be more down with that. So that just means we need more adoption there. Also, USDC has support for Stellar, okay? So when one fast blockchain gets killed off of Circle and USDC, people start to look for other ones, okay? And these are the ones that they're gonna go to, which is HBAR and Stellar, because you can send USDC for pennies, bro. Pennies. Also, you have Algorand, you have Arbitrum, all of these other ones. Right? And it, it still is just a select few. It still is a select few, man. Uh, you've got Algorand as well on there, NEAR, right? Some of the coins we love. Solana as well. People unfortunately are probably going to go to Solana over HBAR right now for their USDC. Now moving on, let's talk a little bit more about HBAR, and then we're going to get into some big XRP stuff, uh, here. Hyundai is actually using and building with HBAR. You go drive your car on the road right now, you're gonna see like 50 Hyundai vehicles, okay? Or Hyundai, or however you weirdos say this. Uh, by weirdos I mean people who pronounce it the correct way, you know? Porsche, Porsche, don't people say that? Okay, this is a Hyundai Motor Group announcing an innovative carbon emission monitoring system, and they've selected Hedera Hashgraph to assure secure and accurate carbon emissions data collection. So everyone also always says like, yeah, HBAR has all these partners, but are they really doing anything with the network? Blah, blah, blah. Yes, Hyundai is actually, and by the way, this is old news. This has been around for a while. They just put out this teaser, and I feel like I need to remind people of how powerful HBAR is. Okay, they also have Kia. They also got Kia. Okay, so Hyundai and Kia are both here, uh, which is crazy. Okay, and they probably only mention Hyundai in this because, uh, Hyundai is a governing council member, I believe, uh, which is super cool. Now the second utility for the PAC token is out. I am going to be talking about this project. They're not paying me, they're not sponsoring this. I'm trying to get some PAC token as much as you guys are. I'm trying to pay attention to this as well. Um, they have governance and voting, so pretty standard utility. Um, as like, if you're a holder of PAC, you can participate in governance and voting. And by the way, there's no confirmed airdrop for this. Everyone is just speculating that there will be an airdrop of some sort for HashPack, uh, and their token, okay? But there's nothing really confirmed that says yes, we're airdropping everyone who uses the wallet. Um, but you know, if I were you, I would continue using HashPack in case they do an airdrop. Now let's talk about the HBAR airdrop initiative, okay? HBAR Bull, who's one of the best HBAR accounts you could follow. Go and follow him, The HBAR Bull. Um, I met him, uh, where were we, Vegas, uh, for Karate Combat. He was there. He says he loves the HBAR airdrop initiative. Now I tweeted out that I think HBAR needs more airdrops because that's something that gets a lot of people, um, involved in the network. He puts out this great tweet here and then he quote tweets Earthlings Land. I'm like, what is Earthlings? Like, I've never heard of this, okay? Um, and but they're doing an airdrop, and this is like the first kind of airdrop I've seen on HBAR. They are not paying me to talk about this. I'm simply doing this because I love to support projects building in HBAR. Um, and from what I've seen— I'm gonna be honest, I haven't actually went to their website. I'm gonna be honest, I have not went to their website, but I did see this You know, a lot of these projects are running around with garbage websites. This one, is this a garbage website? No, this, this is pretty good, pretty decent, decent website. You know, I could help you guys out. You know, we got the clean, we got the clean websites on deck, um, in the Gold Squad Empire. Best believe, look at how clean the Patients, that Patients site is. Go to patients.io. You know, you can get started, uh, with some trading indicators. However, I did see this clean, you know, custom, custom banner, custom logo. I love it. Some custom graphics going on here. But let me show you guys how to get into this airdrop, uh, if you want to get in. So what we're going to do is open up our Hashpack wallet, okay? So you need to install Hashpack. I'm just going to log into mine right now. And then boom, we're going to be in. This is my alt account, or like, this is my like public account. Now what we're going to do is associate these tokens, okay? So all you're going to do is copy this right here, okay? Copy that token ID, and then we're going to go to add token. We're going to paste it in, associate token, and then it's going to load a little bit. Boom, that's done. Now we're gonna, uh, do their PH Steam token right here. We're gonna add token. Boom, associated. And I'm assuming there's some benefit in to them from us doing this, right? I think maybe the more associations you get, you can become like, I don't know, you just have more, um, more credibility in the ecosystem. But let's do the Steam token. Uh, okay, boom, associate. See, you guys can see USDC sitting right there, uh, USDC on HBAR, which is pretty cool. Do I hold any right now? Uh, no, I have zero. Okay, so boom, we associated and we're good to go. Okay, they're having a surprise snapshot and drop to all HBAR holders with these tokens associated. Uh, oh, you— oh, do you have to have enough Oh, I think you got to have some HBAR in your account. So I just did that with a pretty whack account, but load in some HBAR to your account first and then do it. Okay, let's keep it moving here, folks, into the XRP stuff. Uh, now we do have this clip from Brad Garlinghouse. Let's take a watch of this because this is super important here. Here we go. So you would welcome an XRP ETF then?
We would certainly welcome it, and I think it's inevitable that there'll be, you know, multiple ETFs around different tokens. I think you'll even see ETFs potentially around baskets that also, I think, further diversify that risk. Are you in talks with the largest issuers, particularly BlackRock, to get this done? Well, I'm not going to comment on that. I know BlackRock has said some things publicly. You know, we think it makes sense for the XRP community overall. You know, Ripple obviously is a very important stakeholder in the XRP ecosystem, but we're not the only player. And look, we've seen, I mean, before the SEC lawsuit, XRP was the second most valuable digital asset. I think because of the headwinds of that lawsuit, you know, we've now seen that largely abate. But the long-term view on these things is about, you know, how do you create utility and really solve real-world problems with these different digital assets?
Boom, folks, look at that. Are you in talks with BlackRock? I'm not going to comment on that. I know BlackRock has said some things publicly, like the classic corporate Brad Garlinghouse answer, but that is huge. So he, he thinks it's obvious that we will get an XRP ETF, um, and there will be many ETFs themed around different, uh, or for different assets. Okay, that is bullish. Um, and the fact that he didn't want to comment on if they're in talks with BlackRock to do that which would be one of the main players, right? And how are you guys— how are the XRP holders going to react to that when BlackRock has an XRP ETF? Are you going to celebrate? Are you going to hate on it? Are you going to dump your XRP because BlackRock is directly involved now? I'm not. You guys know the Crypto Mason mindset is to, is to make money off of the evil and do good things with it. We know BlackRock is evil. We've never been able to defeat evil corporations and evil government, and that's because people are using the wrong strategy. They simply shun the evil and block it out and never get involved in the right way, because there's a right way to get involved with evil. Can you believe that? And with XRP, you're basically doing that, right? XRP is part of the World Economic Forum— or sorry, Ripple is part of the World Economic Forum. Right? XRP is, is, is creating a product for the banks that you're supposed to hate so much. So what's going on? There's only one mindset that I personally think is the best one for this, which is, you know, we gotta use our, our 5D chess. We've got to play into their hand and extract as much stuff from them as we can and then use it to build the real opt-out systems, like the real decentralized systems. So I'm celebrating if BlackRock gets involved, right? That's, that's why I like HBAR so much, is because they're using all the evil corporations. They put them as their governing council, and then we're trying to make money off them. It's simple. Moving on, moving on to something big, actually. This is John Deaton, okay? John Deaton has decided to run for Senate, okay? He's running for Senate. So he's going to become one of them in the Senate. And he has this website up, johndeatonforsenate.com. He is attempting to gather your data here with your email and your phone number. So he wants you to give that, right? He's— they're collecting data. He's going to obviously use that for his political campaign here. He's also asking people to donate money. Okay. So you've got, you know, $25, $50, $3,000, $6,000 that you can donate to him. And, you know, they're using this to run— it's an actual political campaign. He has positioned himself against Elizabeth Warren, right, which is great positioning. You position, you know, the other candidates and other people as the enemy and yourself as kind of the savior. So he wants to knock her out because she's, she's against crypto and he's pro-crypto. But he is utilizing the XRP Army and all of the hype that he's garnered from XRP, right? Because John Deaton would not be where he was at if it wasn't for you and the XRP holders, right? The only reason he has 300,000 followers like this and can run for Senate is because of the XRP holders. So I hope that he stays true to the XRP Army all through this, right? Because politics can change people, right? Politics can change people. So big shout out to John Deaton. This is a ballsy move, um, but if we get him into the Senate, then we've got an XRP holder in the Senate, which would be pretty cool. So, you know, I support— I hope he just stays true to everything, right? He doesn't have much hate for what he's doing. He's selling books, right? He's asking you to donate to a political campaign. He doesn't have much haters, I don't think, right? So he's in a good position now. He better make good moves with the position he's in. Um, but super interesting. Everyone in the XRP Army supporting, uh, him with that. I support it as well. Uh, however, I will be objective towards it, right? I'm not brainwashed. Boom, Casper. Casper has just got a Bybit spot listing, which is very nice. Okay, 3.8 million Casper tokens are up for grabs. Just wanted to throw that in here, uh, as the Casper, uh, as Casper news. Now with Quant, I wanted to talk about Quant real quick. We're back at $100, man. $103 And you guys can see, just look at the dips, it always comes back up. Here's a dip. If you bought it, boom, you're up. Boom, you're up. Boom, you're up. Okay, if you bought here, boom, you're up. If you bought here, boom, you're up. It's simple, okay? Buy on the dips, um, and hold until the green. I bet you guys right now, if you buy at $100, like let's say you buy $1,000 worth, right? So you get 10 Quant tokens around that, then it goes to $140. Boom, you just made $400, right? And then scale that up, right? Now let's get into, um, talking about the two investments that I've made. So I am invested in Alvar— or Alvara— Alvara— Alvara, uh, protocol here. Uh, they are not sponsoring this video. I am personally invested. Me and Megan took a chunk of money and we put it into this project. This is something I've been— excuse me— doing a lot more of, okay, is, uh, private sale investing. So trying to get in and really help out these startups with some funds and some exposure, okay? But Alvera is utilizing the ERC-7621 to redefine ETFs. Alvara is the gateway to the world of on-chain fund management. They're actually launching on February 26th, so in 5 days, and you can get in on this through TenSet. Okay, so TenSet is the launchpad that you can get in. So if you go to their, their, uh, gems, I believe it will be on one of these. Uh, yes, Alvara right there, uh, is is, is right there. So if you're part of the TenSet Launchpad, um, you can actually get in, uh, on this. Okay, so shout out Alvara. Not a sponsor, but boom, that's, that's one that could, could do well off launch. So try to get in through the Launchpad. Now we do have huge, huge news for Commonwealth. Okay, Commonwealth, also not a sponsor, but we are advisors for their project.

It has 14 different projects in it. So these are like projects within this VC fund that you're going to be able to get access to, okay? Which, you know, there's a ton of cool names in here. Chirp, um, is one of the projects I'm also a private investor in separate from this VC fund, which is cool. But those are going to do very well. Now the other project, this is a sponsor, DTEK Blockchain. Now DTEK is a smaller, uh, smaller cap project right now, but what DTEK is doing is providing an assistant. So DTEK Assistant is a software component that can be installed on the operating system of any type of vehicle or smart platform. It enables communication with the vehicle control of the vehicle equipment, and remote IoT devices. Okay, so their vision is to build a comprehensive digital ecosystem that aims to capture a significant portion of the automobile market. Okay, so this can do things like interact with your office lights from your vehicle. It can do, you know, control your thermostat while you're on the road, you know, heat up your office as you get there. So DTEK, pretty cool project here. Um, they do have their token as well. The DTEK token is launched. Um, they just got a, uh, a CoinMarketCap listing as well. So if we look up, um, DTEK right here, you're gonna see, uh, they are listed here on, on CoinMarketCap. Okay, so keep your eye out for DTEK here. Um, you can, you know, they've got a giveaway on right now. They got a CoinGecko listing. So building very slowly there, um, building the project out.
