BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT (BLUF)
Happy Humpday! Looks like it's time for Voyager to sit on the hot seat as New Jersey and other states scrutinize their yield program. I believe it's just a matter of time before the regulators create the right rules and this become the new way of finance; it's the ugly dance this industry must do to become normalized. Half of Americans think Crypto assets are the future of finance anyway.
Meanwhile, Cardano is having its day in the sun. Yesterday it was $LUNA and now it's $ADA looking for explosive gains. But Do Kwon is still buying Bitcoin as he drops another $139M in so watch out Saylor he's coming for ya.
Analyst are giving their analysis on the top assets: $BTC, $ETH, $ADA, $FTM, etc so ensure you are reading what they are saying. Rich Dad, Poor Dad author says to buy Bitcoin and Doge creator says $DOGE should be Digital currency. It's mind bending just how much is going on so dig in folks.
