The Wolf Of All Streets

#Bitcoin #Crypto #Finance
Ben Cowen joins me to break down why Bitcoin still looks like it’s following the same midterm-year pattern we’ve seen before, why he thinks the low is probably not in yet, and why a move below $60K later this year is still very much on the table. We talk about why bear markets spend more time grinding up than crashing down, why Bitcoin may not make new highs again until the next cycle, why retail topped on apathy instead of euphoria, and why Ben thinks most altcoins are still just a casino. We also get into oil, energy stocks, manufacturing, stablecoins, and why the real lesson of this cycle may be that crypto spent too much time chasing speculation instead of building products people actually use.

In this episode, the team breaks down the controversial World Liberty Financial (WLFI) drama after they borrowed $75M in stablecoins against billions of their own WLFI tokens on Dolomite — temporarily trapping depositors and pushing the pool to near 100% utilization. The discussion explores whether this self-referential lending move is smart DeFi engineering or a major red flag for the broader ecosystem, its potential impact on the upcoming Clarity Act, and the critical need for better disclosure and transparency in DeFi. The conversation also touches on quantum computing risks to XRP vs Bitcoin, market liquidity dynamics, and why basic regulatory clarity matters.

From slowing economic growth and tightening global liquidity to rising systemic risks and controversial moves in the crypto space, cracks are beginning to form beneath the surface.

Is the Bitcoin bottom finally in? Tom Lee thinks so, calling a turning point after the Iran ceasefire as his firm aggressively accumulates ETH and crypto funds see renewed inflows. At the same time, Morgan Stanley just launched the first major U.S. bank Bitcoin ETF, signaling that Wall Street isn’t waiting around—they’re already positioning. Meanwhile, stablecoins are projected to reach trillions (even quadrillions) in volume, regulators are stepping in, and new innovations like quantum-resistant Bitcoin tools are reshaping the future of the space. So is this the start of the next bull market—or just another trap before the next move?

In today’s Crypto Town Hall, the crew discussed rising oil prices and the Middle East ceasefire, with speculation that Iran may accept stablecoins for Strait of Hormuz tolls — a potential blow to the petrodollar. Markets rallied on short covering across Bitcoin, Ethereum, silver, and stocks, while Bitcoin remains in a 60k–74k range.

They highlighted the White House report dismissing bank concerns over stablecoin yields, XRP’s largest institutional surge (25% planning exposure in 2026), Adam Back saying “I’m not Satoshi,” Morgan Stanley’s new Bitcoin ETF, and Binance dominating Q1 2026.
