01) Project power ranking’s of the week

02) Market updates and news

1) Bitcoin and Ethereum just had their best Q2 since 2020:

Bitcoin and Ethereum just crushed the sh*t out of Q2 2025, finishing 30% and 36% in the green - we used to pray for times like these.

Bitcoin 1-year price graph:

Ethereum 1-year price graph:

I know what you’re thinking … The ETH graph looks shocking, and you would be right in thinking that. Ethereum finished Q1 2025 with a loss of 45.41%, marking its worst performance since 2022.

The down turn was due to two things:

1) Tensions in the Middle East

2) Tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on China and other countries.

This therefore created economic uncertainty hence people were more inclined to keep cash on hand or to invest in less volatile asset classes.

Why has there been an upturn? Well there are 2 reasons:

1) The tensions in the Middle East have subsided as their is a ceasefire.

2) Crypto’s institutional reframing has increased the value of crypto altogether due to the Stablecoin bill that has been added.

Traditionally, Q1 and Q4 tend to deliver strong results for BTC and ETH, thanks to the 'Santa Claus' effect, which is a burst of year-end optimism. Q2, on the other hand, tends to be more volatile, with outcomes often shaped by policy developments and regulatory activity.

2) Mastercard joins forces with Bitget wallet to release zero-free crypto cards:

Bitget has launched a crypto card that lets users pay directly from their digital wallets using the Bitget Wallet app. It supports real-time payments using on-chain swaps and deposits, and can be used at over 150 Mastercard-accepting merchants worldwide.

Okay, so why is this important?

This is really big as this is the first step to make crypto more practical - let me explain.

If you wanted to spend your Ethereum, the first step you’d have to take was to convert it into fiat currency such as the dollar, now, with this card, you can essentially spend Ethereum as if it was dollars which makes crypto as a currency frictionless.

This has positive implications for the industry as the more people use crypto as a mechanism of payment, it will bridge the gap between web3 and the real world.

3) Robinhood plans to tokenize everything:

I want them to win so badly.

The story of Robinhood is insane, they stick up for the small guy, but there are subplots in the story.

15 years ago, a guy worked at McDonalds flipping burgers during the day and teaching himself how to code at night and then fast forward becomes the senior vice president and the GM of crypto for Robinhood - his name is Johann Kerbrat.

Now, he is heading up the most ambitious crypto project ever.

Robinhood plans on making Private Equity available for everyone and they did this by tokenizing shares of private companies such as OpenAI and Tesla, which are private companies. This is massive because it democratizes finance and allows regular people to take part in financial instruments that they didn’t have access to.

I think this is a brilliant idea because:

1) This breaks down one of the biggest barriers in finance. Traditionally PE is reserved for the ultra-wealthy and institutional investors.

2) Allows liquidity in an illiquid asset class due to the fractional ownership model.

3) It allows real financial inclusion
