XRP Has A SECRET Partner! HBAR, QNT, CSPR, CORE & Important Crypto News Today!

In this solo market‑update video, Crypto Mason (Mason Versluis) addresses his Gold Squad community with a blend of news, analysis, and promotional content. He begins by announcing a "secret" partnership linking Ripple’s acquisition of MetaCo to Citibank, positioning it as a bullish signal for XRP. He then examines an imminent HBAR token unlock, breaking down the vesting schedule, potential market impact, and tokenomics concerns. The video moves on to technical updates: a forthcoming Casper (CSPR) validator node, staking instructions, and the launch of a Gold Squad Casper validator; followed by a deep dive into Corium (CORE), its claim as an enterprise‑graded blockchain (EGB) network, and the team's validator partnership. Mason provides a copy‑trading performance recap, explains the difference between fixed‑amount and margin settings, and highlights recent gains on Phemex. He promotes BYDFI, an exchange sponsor, outlining its bonus offer, product features, and copy‑trading integration. A personal announcement follows about attending the Karate Combat MMA event in Miami and a partnership with the promotion. Throughout, he offers market snapshots (BTC, ETH, XDC, Quant, etc.), encourages community participation via a 100 XRP giveaway and Discord incentives, and ends with a call to like, comment, and join upcoming events. The tone is energetic, instructional, and promotional, aiming to inform and mobilize his audience around specific crypto assets and community activities.

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 are back with another market update. We're going to expose a secret XRP partnership, Ripple partnership. We're also going to talk about the HBAR token unlock that's happening today. We're going to talk about our new Casper node that is in development right now. We're going to talk Corium and a bunch more stuff, so make sure you're watching until the end. Now, yesterday you guys— or the other day when we did our market update— you guys smashed, smashed the like button. And you know, we got way over that 1,000, uh, like mark, and that triggered the giveaway. So we're doing a 100 XRP giveaway. You got 5 hours left to enter. We have 463 entries. If we hit 1,000 likes on this video, there will be another one inside the Gold Squad Discord. Now, XDC— look at that, look at our top 3 right here, folks. Quant, Stellar, XDC, and The Graph. When you see these utility coins going into the top, you know something's up. Something's up. Is the XRP lawsuit gonna end soon? Who knows. But BTC, $27,093. We've been hitting those copy trading profits like crazy. We've got a big copy trading announcement, uh, at the start, like in a couple seconds we'll talk about it. Uh, but this is what the market's looking like. We got $1.8K on ETH. Uh, XRP, 51 cents. Shout out to the ones who longed XRP. Uh, you know, they did pretty good. Uh, same thing with Quant. If you longed Quant, we've been talking about that $100 entry price for the last like couple months here. So shout out to you if you did that. Now let's talk quick copy trading update. Actually, no, let's talk about this first. Okay, I will be in Miami On June 24th, I'm going with Megan to the Karate Combat event, folks. Uh, we have— we're going to partner up with Karate Combat as well. Um, you know, and they're bringing us out there to enjoy this amazing event. I'm— I, dude, I can't even describe how bullish I am on Karate Combat as a whole. This, in my opinion, is the next UFC. They're doing it way better. It's integrated with Web3. It's more entertaining even than MMA, uh, in my opinion. And Karate Combat 40 is happening in Miami. We've got Kweh Hagen— is that how you say it?— versus Agaev. Okay, now I don't know who I'm gonna be betting on yet, but on my phone on the Karate Combat app, which you should download, uh, and by the way, this is not sponsored at all. Like, they are bringing us out there and we're gonna do a partnership with them Uh, so I guess you consider it, but, uh, you know, if any Gold Squad members want to come down to Miami, we will be there. You can meet us at the event most likely, uh, and we'll be in Miami. So absolute fire, dude, built on HBAR. This— there is no other project right now that's bringing more adoption to HBAR than this, than Karate Combat. So let's do the copy trading update right here. Now I want to explain some things, right? We've been doing good on the, on the copy trading here. Our past couple trades, uh, we did take one loss there, but we had $1,000, uh, gains. $811, $549, $354. Hitting some big profits, uh, for you guys there. Uh, but the reason, if you go to my followers, right, and it blocks out the emails, uh, it censors them, so this is private, right? But you can see all the balance that people have and you can see their total profit and loss. And you can see some people are down $6, $97, but some people are up $1,517. This guy has made $1,517. You know, this guy's made $70, $82, and there's, there's a bunch more that are in these deep profits. $278 off the trades. Now, why is it so different? Why are some people in profit and some people aren't? Well, it depends on a lot of things. I recommend that everybody changes their settings from fixed amount to margin. Okay, at the initial— when we started copy trading, we were doing the fixed amount. You need to change your settings to margin. Now, what margin is going to do— let's say I load my copy trading account, uh, with $1,000. If I set my margin to 100%, That means that every trade that I enter, I'm going to follow it with 100% of that balance. If I got $1,000 in my copy trading account and I put my margin at 50%, it's going to follow with 50% of the balance no matter what. What's been happening is you guys, let's say you put in $1,000 and your fixed amount is $1,000. So that means that, you know, every trade you're going to follow with $1,000 exactly. If we take a loss, you're gonna be below that $1,000 and you're not going to be following any more trades because you can't meet that fixed amount. So either you put a big balance in and put a small fixed amount, or you do the margin. Now, we've been also hitting big boy profits on Phemex, okay? And we have zero losses so far on Phemex. Uh, and by the way, all this copy trading, it's all just for fun. Don't put in money. That you can't afford to lose. It's all for fun and it's experimental. Okay, 32%, 48%, 17%, you know, and then we took some here, 5.79%. So all in the green so far, uh, and we only got 9 people following us. So get in there, you know, get in there. We've got, um, yeah, only 9. So we got 55 followers but only 9 people actually copy trading. So make sure you load up your account. And by the way, oh, here's the big, big thing about Phemex. If you guys got in, right, if you think you're following, you're probably not, right? So I see someone with $3,000 in here, but they haven't followed any trades, right? I think they've only followed one. Please make sure to go and select your contracts again, right? Go and select the contracts again because it glitched out. We're deep into the video. Let's look at the Bitcoin chart right here. Oh damn, we are pumping to, uh, $2,700, uh, $115. And, and I say pumping because I was in a long, uh, and Crypto Cat in our VIP Discord has, has been getting, getting us in these longs, uh, but BTC looking decent. You know, I don't have much to say about it. Let's keep it going though. We are working on securing a Casper node. Okay, Casper, uh, is this right here, CSPR. Uh, it is down right now 22% on the month, so this could be a good idea, uh, to pick some up if you want to stake in our node. Uh, I'm assuming, or we're estimating to have the node online, uh, by next week some point. So go get your Casper now. If you do want to stake in our node, it's available on KuCoin. That's where I get mine. And I am a holder of Casper, and we are not sponsored by Casper. I will let you know if they do reach out to me though. We're not sponsored by Casper, but we have teamed up with a great company to launch a validator node, which is very cool. We'll, we'll do a whole tutorial on how to, how to do that, and you can earn passive income through staking your Casper with us. So the Casper wallet as well, make sure you download this. This is the MetaMask of Casper. So get ready, we're coming with the Gold Squad validator. We have our Corium validator as well, which we will talk about. We are, we are already, um, running the, the Gold Squad Corium validator. We have like 4 million Corium tokens already in there. It's been going great. There's 2 tutorials out for that already. Um, but yeah, Corium, extremely bullish. We are partnered up with Corium, uh, just to be, uh, transparent. Now let's move on and we'll talk about Corium later in the video. Let's talk about XRP and HBAR right here. XRP has a secret partner, folks. This is the secret partner, and this, this is genius. So shout out to Ray Fuentes for this, right? Shout out to Ray Fuentes. Um, Citibank, the huge, huge behemoth that is Citibank, partnered with MetaCo back in June of 2022 to employ MetaCo's bank-grade digital asset custody platform called Harmonize. Fast forward to today, uh, MetaCo is owned by Ripple. Isn't this crazy? So what happened is Metaco, uh, was purchased by Ripple for $250 million, right? Why is that price tag so high, right? It's because they had partners like this as well. Citibank, okay? That is huge, huge stuff. Uh, and the reason I'm calling this a secret partner is because you won't really realize this, right? Because now Ripple and MetaCo are one. Like, Ripple owns MetaCo. So MetaCo is now partnered with Citibank. The bank has 2,649 branches in 19 countries. It is absolutely massive. And here's the announcement of when that happened. It was back in June 22nd, 2022. Um, so this is extremely bullish. Shout out to Ray Fuentes for pointing that out. Now we do have a cliff unlock coming up for HBAR, folks. This is crazy. 2.547% of the total supply of HBAR is about to be unlocked, uh, in 3 hours and 23 minutes. So are we going to see a, a dump of this? This is 1.2 billion HBAR being unlocked. That's $65 million worth. Okay, so if you guys don't know what's going on here, right, there are vesting schedules. So when, when a cryptocurrency starts, there's usually a private sale, there's a seed round, a strategic round, there's all these different rounds. And early investors can get in at the lower rounds. So I don't know the exact pricing of what some of the venture capitalists got in on HBAR at, but I do know that the tokenomics of HBAR are not that good at all. I do know that that is an actual thing. Now you can see this is where we are today, uh, and you know, going into the, the next months it ramps up a little bit here, right? We're, we're facing one of these steps today where, um, some of the unlock happens. So what, what does this mean? Basically 1.2 billion, uh, HBAR tokens are being unlocked and being given to VCs, and they can freely dump them, they can hold them, they can do whatever. Now here's the breakdown, right? 533 million of these HBARs, uh, are going to purchase agreements. So this is probably the VCs, okay? And then the rest is going to ecosystem development. So we might see some new, um, grants coming out or whatever. They can spend that on whatever. The point here is there's an HBAR unlock coming up. HBAR is currently sitting at $0.0511. Will we see this, this dump down? So the 4-hour on our momentum oscillator right here, you can see that does look like it's going down. And then the 12-hour is a little bit harder to read here, um, you know, but we are— we're gonna see where, where this picks up right here. I don't know. We could see HBAR dump down a little bit off this, but who knows, maybe the whales want to create another pump and then they can sell their VC bags at an even higher price. Now one of the other tokens I'm watching today is XDC, bro. XDC having an amazing day, 13% up. Shout out to the XDC holders, you guys are not unnoticed, uh, or you don't go unnoticed. Uh, now if we turn on, you know, some indicators here, you will see, uh, that, you know, this could come, come flying down. So potential short opportunity on XDC. I don't even know if, if it's on futures on any exchanges, uh, but this looks like this momentum wave is peaking out. But anything can happen, right? We can come right down there and then boom, rock it up. I don't see the reason why this is happening right now, but we do, uh, we are seeing some utility bags trending in this 24-hour chart. Arwa, what is that? I don't know what that is. XDC, Stellar, Quant, and Casper looking to, looking to enter the top gainers right there. Now let's talk about Corium a little bit. We are sponsored/partnered with Corium, uh, so you'll be hearing a lot more about them. I am very, very bullish after learning more Uh, I actually used to be a hater of Corium, okay? Uh, and then, you know, they approached us for this partnership and I'm like, okay, I need to give this an actual chance and look into this. I, in the beginning, I was pissed off that they were kind of utilizing the XRP community's buzz, uh, a little bit. But now I have came to it. I see what they're trying to do, uh, and I, I'm in full support. Right? I'm in full support. So, you know, even if there was no sponsor, uh, or partner here, I would still, uh, be repping this for sure. So what I want to go over, one thing with Corium specifically, they are calling themselves the first EGB network, uh, or one of the EGB networks. This is called, uh, enterprise-graded blockchains, and this is a new standard that has been introduced by Corium for blockchain networks specifically designed to provide the essential tools and infrastructures for enterprises of any size to build and run decentralized applications. Now, you guys know I love this positioning for blockchains, right? I love the enterprises getting involved with blockchain and using it, uh, and, you know, they are, um, popularizing this standard. So the key attributes of an EGB network are going to be that you're compliant with ISO 20022 requirements And then there's a bunch more real-time settlements with transaction details. Like, these go in depth on what you're supposed to— how you can claim to be an EGB network. Okay, now they are, uh, they are a powerful— there's already NFTs being built on this, uh, there's certain projects, they have smart tokens, uh, and the ecosystem is growing every day. You guys know we do run a Gold Squad validator on here. We actually just went to the 15th position, which is amazing right there. Uh, we have 40 delegations so far. Very, very good. Um, shout out to the 40 people that are delegating their Corium to our validator. We only take 3% commission, uh, as of now. And we got, you know, we're, we're approaching that 4.2 million mark now. I hope with our Casper validator you guys are ready to dump some big Casper amounts into that um, you know, we'll, we'll try to keep the commission as low as possible so you guys are gaining. But here is the current APY, it's 10.71%. But dude, I'm, I'm planning to hold Casper for very, very long, right? My Casper bags are tucked away for a very long time. So why not securely stake in the Gold Squad validator and just, you know, earn on that, or earn on that money and roll it back in best option in my opinion. Now we do have a sponsor for today's video. This is BYDFI. This is a great crypto exchange that has spot, they have derivatives, they have copy trading as well, which I have set up a profile on. If you guys would like to copy trade me on a third exchange, uh, you can go to BYDFI and search Mason Versluis, uh, and maybe we're gonna be hitting some trades on BYDFI Uh, the— there is benefits to having copy trading on multiple exchanges, uh, so that we can actually, uh, if we're stuck in a trade, we can go on to ByDeFi, uh, and, you know, take a trade there. So right now, if you open an account with the link in the description, uh, on ByDeFi and deposit $100, you will get a $100, uh, bonus in, uh, perpetual futures trading contracts. Okay, so you'll get a trading bonus of $100 just for depositing $100, uh, and signing up. Very, very dope, uh, platform here. So their derivatives, you can go to, you know, they have Bitcoin on here, uh, and they have a few more coins. If we click here, you see ETH, XRP, you can get XRP on here, LINK, ARB. They've, they've listed quite a few coins. Very clean, uh, very, very clean, uh, interface here. And, you know, amazing. They got light contracts, they got perpetual contracts settled in crypto. Very interesting. And then they have the leveraged tokens. You can also buy with a credit card on here. If you buy with a— let's say you buy $1,000 with a credit card, uh, on here and you want to buy Bitcoin, right? And you end up getting $950 of Bitcoin. Because of the fees and stuff, because there's always going to be fees when buying with a credit card, that extra fee that they take will be added as a rebate on your perpetual contracts. So, you know, I'm going to use this to trade some perps, which are futures, and they also have the partnership. And then we might do some copy trading. So if anyone wants to sign up for the copy trading and there's, there's also other people on here, if you want to experiment, you guys can go and try copy these dudes. Sometimes I don't recommend to copy other, other people that aren't like directly communicating with you, uh, but we are on here under the copy trading area. So big shout out to ByDeFi for sponsoring the video. Make sure you use that link in the description and get the $100 bonus. I love exchange bonuses so much. I've, I've, I've actually traded, uh, a $200 bonus up to $1,000 one time. And you can actually withdraw that if you trade it up. Uh, 50— 500,000 users over 150 countries trading with us. Very cool stuff. So that is all we've got for the market update today. I love every single one of you. Drop a like and comment on the video. Uh, make sure to come out to Miami, come to the Karate Combat event. Uh, but that is all. I love every single one of you, and goodbye.
