While the US stock Market is making new highs the crypto market is in a state of confusion. With memecoins clouding the water and FTXs repayments the bulls and the bears are at a crossroad. While the future of the crypto market is in the hands of the market makers there is no denying the accumulation factor.
Notable adoptions and accumulations include:
Blackrock purchases $276 million worth of ETH (Feb. 5, 2025)
Abu Dhabi (The capital of United Emirate) reveals $460 million bitcoin purchase (Feb. 14th, 2025)
Michael Saylor (Former CEO of MicroStrategy) Proposes $2 Billion convertible note offering to secure future Bitcoin purchases (Feb. 18th 2025)
Japan Prepares for its crypto policy shift with ETF approval (Feb. 10th 2025)
Trump’s WLFI buys 200M $WLFI (Feb. 17th), WLFI now owns $186 million in ETH as well

The Value Trader (@TheValueTrade) is one of X’s best. Check out his account and some of his work. Some of his recent set ups include $OSCR, $HOOD, $INTC (which is up 35% YTD) now he is backing $NIO with a price prediction of $8 with earnings coming up in March. With the pioneering of a battery swap system (Think battery gas station for electric vehicles), Nio Inc. is tackling the anxiety of EV infrastructure.

Market Shifts
Not to spread fear, anxiety and doubt (FUD) but we ran into a couple of things worth sharing.
There is no denying that the current market is very strong. Like very. Every day it almost feels that the S&P 500 is reaching all time highs. Some seem to think it is all too good to be true and that a bear market is around the corner. The Market tends to react quite hard to macro environmental factors (Geopolitics, inflation, interest rates) for example the Housing Market as U.S homebuilders sentiment has fallen to a 5-month low over tariffs.
Time will tell if this is signaling a real correction or merely a reaction to short term uncertainties.
On some happier, more interesting news… here is some research we thought was worth sharing

Tokenization is on the rise with more and more assets like real estate, art being digitized on the blockchain. Could be a game changer for investment opportunities- allowing smaller investors to own a piece of big ticket items.
@CryptoCrunchApp
It looks like a little bit of FOMO is taking place as the adoption of bitcoin is not a trend anymore but is a global movement. Will Bitcoin’s curve continue to accelerate? How will bitcoin adoption affect regulation and government policies? We will see.
Next week…
A focus on small/mid cap stocks, altcoins as well as any market information that arises! Thanks!
That’s all for today!
Cheers,
Thomas
