Bitcoin will hit $150,000 or more.
Bitcoin's long-term outlook is excellent due to institutional adoption momentum, and he expects the year to end positive with a price target of $150,000 or better, dependent on the Clarity Act and midterm outcomes.

Ethereum and Solana win from tokenization.
Tokenization growth benefits Ethereum and Solana as the dominant smart contract platforms, making them the two big winners in the crypto space alongside Bitcoin.
Arthur Hayes CIO, Maelstrom 12:43
Cards token undervalued, buyback catalyst ahead.
The cards token is undervalued because the market doesn't appreciate that the protocol's profits will soon flow to token holders via buybacks that are believed to have started, targeting a $1 billion market cap over 3–6 months.
Jeff Walton Chief Risk Officer, Strive Asset Management 18:43
Digital credit dip is a buying opportunity.
The recent sell-off in digital credit preferred equities STRC and SATA was a technical leverage liquidation, not a credit failure; the underlying credit quality of Strategy is improved and these instruments offer superior risk-return profiles, creating a buying opportunity at discounted prices.
