Ryan Cohen marketing clinic… And mainstream media bought it hook, line, & sinker. Why retail investors love him. Masterclass.

Pivotal moment for crypto w/ Clarity Act… Look how hard tradfi is fighting against stablecoin yield. It’s actually how you know this is the future. Deposits flee for a reason. Money *always* goes to where it’s best treated. via @ForTheWynn_

Wall Street Journal analysis found that more than 70% of Polymarket users lose money... 67% of the profits go to just 0.1% of accounts. Pro traders & market makers feasting on retail.

Forthcoming IPOs from private companies like SpaceX now causing *major indices* to change rules on the fly… In other words, active management. Wild thing is that majority of actual active managers can’t consistently beat S&P index committee. That’s gotta hurt. via @jmackin2

*Casino industry* website has article about forthcoming prediction market ETFs… Absolute perfection. Might be my ETF headline of 2026. It’s all DraftKings now.

Obsessively focusing on politics is signal you want *someone else* to make *your* life better… Social media amplifies this, making people think politics are more important & their own lives are worse. Imagine if people put same focus into simply improving their own situation.

*JP Morgan* says "looking at proof of concepts around tokenizing ETFs"... "We believe tokenization will certainly drive how the market changes, not just for ETFs but across the funds industry as a whole."

Spot btc ETFs on a run… Inflows 10 out of past 11 days… +$2.4bil Flows now *positive* in 2026. Btc down 35% since hitting record high in early Oct. Spot btc ETFs over that time? Nearly $1bil *inflows*. ETF investors proving to be longer-term allocators. Diamond hands.

“If only I had more time to invest clients’ money w/out their knowledge, it all would have worked out!”… Wild SBF is victory-lapping fraud. Easy to throw someone else’s $$$ around. Automatically disqualifies any investment decisions IMO. Haven’t seen table of top losers btw.

Even before the Iran strikes, the energy sector was surging. Stacey Morris, CFA joins @NateGeraci on the latest @ETFPrime to explain what was driving the rally before geopolitics took over and what investors should watch for now. She discusses XLE’s run, why the Strait of Hormuz

Major brokers like Schwab now offering direct crypto access are simply a precursor to full securities tokenization… Brokers are building full infrastructure stack to handle crypto alongside tradfi investments. These investments will ultimately merge into one. Seems obvious.

Here’s how *world’s largest* asset manager is positioning bitcoin… “Non-sovereign global decentralized asset that can really provide value to people’s portfolios in small doses.” Hammering the “bitcoin as a portfolio diversifier” message. Trying to turn btc into boomer candy.

Schwab Crypto is coming soon… Fidelity already offers direct crypto trading. How long will Vanguard hold out? Think will become increasingly problematic if they continue to simply ignore crypto. Huge wealth transfer over next decade or two that will take $$$ elsewhere.

Btw, my take on this is there’s currently *huge* misalignment of incentives & lack of transparency involved w/ major brokerages & fund cos… Brokerages automatically park client cash in low or non-yielding sweeps (boosting net interest margin).

Nasdaq in midst of longest winning streak since 1992 & now at record high… After everyone said world was ending. Btw, top new albums in 1992 incl Rage Against the Machine, Alice In Chains, STP, Sonic Youth, The Cure, REM, & Sublime. Music has definitely underperformed Nasdaq.

PSA... Fidelity charging *$100* commissions if you buy select ETFs where issuers aren't paying an AUM-based fee (i.e. pay to play). List of ETFs set to significantly expand on June 1st. Schwab also seeking "ETF monetization strategy". Huge story to watch moving forward.

"It's bitcoin with training wheels but with an air of sophistication, which fits Goldman's brand."- nice depiction of the GS filing from @NateGeraci who thinks they'll ultimately launch a spot ETF (i mostly agree) via story from the 'humbled and honored' @isabelletanlee

Current home page of world’s largest ETF issuer… Leading w/ Ethereum. They clearly haven’t given up on eth.

After permabears said world was coming to an end a few weeks ago… S&P 500 now right at all-time record high. Nasdaq up 10 straight days… +14%. Remember, permabears panic over *everything*. They want to feel smart by calling next crash. Problem is… Nobody. Knows. Anything.

Think about the names now involved w/ bitcoin ETFs… BlackRock Fidelity Invesco Franklin Templeton Morgan Stanley Calamos Goldman Sachs Who’s who of asset management. More will join.
