YOUR WEEKLY DOSE OF CRYPTO WISDOM AND ENTERTAINMENT
Hey Hodler 💸
It’s Friday, and the week in crypto has been full of big stories. Traders are using prediction markets to bet on Trump’s Greenland plans, VanEck released a bold long-term Bitcoin forecast, Morgan Stanley filed for new crypto ETFs, and rumors about Venezuela’s Bitcoin holdings are making headlines. Here’s a quick roundup of what you need to know before the weekend.
🔥 Top stories this week
📈 VanEck’s Long‑Term Bitcoin Price OutlookAsset manager VanEck published a long‑term Bitcoin price forecast targeting the year 2050, with a base case projecting BTC could reach around $2.9 million per coin if it becomes widely used in global trade settlement and features in central bank reserves. The report also outlines much higher bull scenarios, as well as more modest outcomes, illustrating how long‑term adoption assumptions drive wildly different valuations. |  |
🏦 Morgan Stanley Files for BTC & SOL ETFsMorgan Stanley has taken another step in mainstreaming crypto by filing for exchange‑traded funds tracking Bitcoin, Solana, and potentially other assets. These ETF applications signal growing institutional interest in diversified crypto exposure via regulated investment vehicles, potentially broadening access to digital assets for traditional wealth clients. |  |
🕵️ Venezuela’s $60B Bitcoin Rumor — What We KnowA speculative narrative has circulated suggesting that Venezuela may secretly hold up to $60 billion worth of Bitcoin — far more than its disclosed reserves — potentially forming a “shadow reserve” that could impact market supply if accessed. However, experts familiar with the country’s crypto landscape cast doubt on the claim, noting that it lacks clear on‑chain evidence and is based on secondary reports and rumor. |  |
🧠 Traders Bet on Trump’s Greenland PushCrypto‑based prediction markets are now pricing in geopolitical outcomes tied to President Donald Trump’s renewed interest in Greenland, with Polymarket and similar platforms showing millions in bets on whether the U.S. will acquire Greenland by 2027. Traders are also splitting probabilities across related events, such as Trump visiting Greenland, reflecting how political developments are spilling into on‑chain market pricing — even as Denmark and Greenland maintain that the territory isn’t for sale. |  |
