    Bitcoin's Bottom Is In — But Saylor Is The Risk | Vijay Boyapati

    The Last Trade: Vijay Boyapati, author of The Bullish Case for Bitcoin, joins to argue the bottom is in on what he calls a relatively shallow bear market, why the $100K-era whale distribution into ETF hands sets up a stronger base for the next run, what Charles Schwab onboarding 40 million clients through a Bitcoiner-led trading platform means for adoption, the Clarity Act expected to pass in the next month or two, and where Michael Saylor's stretch preferred-share strategy is starting to add real risk to Bitcoin. --- 🔸 Connect with Onramp: The leader in resilient, fault-tolerant Multi-Institution Custody for secure, enduring bitcoin ownership. 👉 Onramp Finance: https://onrampbitcoin.com/finance 👉 Sign up for Genesis: https://onrampbitcoin.com/finance#gen.. 📩 Schedule a consultation: https://onrampbitcoin.com/consult The Last Trade: a weekly, bitcoin-native podcast covering the intersection of bitcoin, tech, & finance on a macro scale.

It's not just another asset… in the digital age, it's The Last Trade that investors will ever need to make. 🎙️ About This Episode Vijay Boyapati, author of The Bullish Case for Bitcoin, joins Jackson and Michael to walk through where Bitcoin sits in this "everything-but-Bitcoin" rally and why he's still bullish. He frames the current drawdown as a shallow bear market compared to 2014, argues the bottom is in, and explains why the $100K-era whale distribution (Galaxy alone reportedly sold $9B) actually sets up a stronger base because Bitcoin is now in the hands of ETF holders with a 2-4% allocation and an $80-100K cost basis. Vijay also covers the Charles Schwab crypto platform rolling out to 40 million brokerage clients (led by a senior Bitcoiner exec), the Clarity Act expected to pass within the next month or two, the political-capture moment marked by Sherrod Brown's unseating, and why Michael Saylor's third-level financial engineering through stretch has found product-market fit (mostly retail, ~80% of demand) but is starting to introduce leverage risk into the Bitcoin system.

    The Last Trade: James Seyffart of Bloomberg Intelligence joins to break down the sentiment divergence between beaten-down crypto Twitter and a TradFi apparatus that's finally all in, Morgan Stanley launching MSBT at a market-low 14 bips with a 2-4% Bitcoin recommendation across 17,000 advisors and $7T+ in assets, Mike Wilson's 60/20/20 portfolio call adding 20% gold, and why the boomer diamond hands held through the drawdown while the basis trade collapsed from 10%+ to under 5%. --- 🔸 Connect with Onramp: The leader in resilient, fault-tolerant Multi-Institution Custody for secure, enduring bitcoin ownership. 👉 Onramp Finance: https://onrampbitcoin.com/finance 👉 Sign up for Genesis: https://onrampbitcoin.com/finance#gen... 📩 Schedule a consultation: https://onrampbitcoin.com/consult The Last Trade: a weekly, bitcoin-native podcast covering the intersection of bitcoin, tech, & finance on a macro scale.

Mike Wilson's 60/20/20 call gives gold a 20% sleeve, and JP Morgan, Ondo, and Securitize keep building tokenization rails.
