GM,

It’s been a wild week. An overnight BTC plunge to nearly $60,000 trails the second straight day of bitcoin ETFs hemorrhaging funds, shedding a record $326 million. The last time ETFs bled consecutively was in late January, spearheaded by the GBTC exodus. However, recent days saw GBTC sales overpower inflows into top IBIT and FBTC funds from Blackrock and Fidelity. The spot market nosedived around -17% from peak to trough—a relatively normal dip in historical bull market terms. Meanwhile, Ethereum observers are grappling with "breaking news" from three weeks ago—a cryptic notice on the Ethereum Foundation's GitHub hinting at a confidential information request from a "state authority." Interpretations abound, but coherence is scarce on crypto twitter.

Here’s what we’ve got for you this week:

  • Crypto’s crashing. What do I do?

  • Blackrock files for a tokenization ETF.

  • Vegas Sphere gets the meme treatment.

  • Eric discusses gold/crypto strategy on Real Vision

Crypto Corrections: How to React

Crypto’s been a bloodbath this week. BTC, ETH, all down by 10% plus. Altcoins? Took a nosedive, 20%-30% gone. NFTs and those beloved memecoins? Slaughtered, 10%-40% off. Tables flipped.

But these drawdowns can be scary but they area a great opportunity to take a step back and evaluate. Here are a few questions I ask during these corrections:

  1. Did my thesis on this change, or just the price? Take tech giants like Google, Amazon, Facebook—stellar businesses, but their prices have tanked before (Facebook nosedived 70% in 2022). Does that make them worth less? Nope. If my investment thesis in a crypto project hasn’t changed I double down and add to my position.

  2. Am I just passing through, or am I here to stay? Crypto’s like Miami in spring—swarmed with tourists when it’s sunny (aka prices soaring). Storm hits (prices tank), and poof, they’re gone. Locals, though? We ride the waves, through every season. If you are a crypto local take a broad view and ignore the volatility.

  3. Is this a crypto crash or a clearance sale? Love this meme—when the market’s hot, we’re kicking ourselves for not buying more on the cheap. Then it crashes, and we’re too freaked to snatch up the bargains. Most freak out; the legends see a fire sale.
