At WAGMI, our investment thesis is steadfast in our belief in the widespread adoption of blockchain technology, a transformation we foresee revolutionizing various sectors and markets. While this may seem like a vision for the distant future, let's take a closer look at the early yet pivotal steps of this journey unfolding right before us.

Mainstream Services Embracing Blockchain and Crypto


Recent developments in the crypto world, such as Meta's decision to allow Bitcoin ETF ads on Facebook and Instagram, and the partnership between Robinhood and MetaMask (a popular crypto wallet and gateway to blockchain apps), mark significant strides towards blockchain and cryptocurrency adoption by mainstream services.



  • Meta's Adoption of Bitcoin ETF Ads: Following the SEC's approval, Meta is set to allow advertisements for spot Bitcoin ETFs on its platforms. This move, aligning with similar initiatives by tech giants like Google, signals a growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies in the realm of mainstream advertising.


  • Robinhood Partners with MetaMask: In a strategic collaboration, Robinhood joins forces with MetaMask to simplify the process of crypto investment, making it more accessible and user-friendly. This partnership is a significant step in reducing the complexity typically associated with cryptocurrency transactions.



Significance to WAGMI:

Meta's and Robinhood's efforts to incorporate blockchain and crypto technologies represent a pivotal moment for the crypto ecosystem. These initiatives enhance the visibility and credibility of digital assets and simplify engagement with the crypto market for a broader user base. As blockchain and crypto technologies continue to integrate with well-known platforms and services, we can anticipate an expansion of the blockchain and crypto space, leading to wider adoption and innovative applications within the digital asset domain.




Bitcoin ETFs See Surge Amid GBTC Outflows, Boosting BTC Price to $48,000


The Bitcoin market is showing robust resilience and adaptability, as evidenced by recent significant movements in investment trends and Bitcoin's price.



  • Record Inflows and GBTC Outflows Shift Market: Bitcoin ETFs are experiencing record inflows, showcasing increased investor confidence in accessible, lower-fee investment options. In contrast, Grayscale's GBTC is facing substantial outflows due to its higher fees, indicating a shift in investor preferences and contributing to changes in the broader Bitcoin investment landscape.


  • Resilience in Bitcoin's Price Amidst Market Changes: Despite the outflows from GBTC over the past 3 weeks, which had previously suppressed Bitcoin's price, the cryptocurrency has rallied to about $48,000. This rebound is a bullish sign, reflecting continued adoption and investor belief in Bitcoin, even amidst market realignments and selling pressures.



Significance to WAGMI:

This period is pivotal for the cryptocurrency investment space, as it indicates a maturing market capable of adapting to changing investor preferences and external pressures. The resilience of Bitcoin's price, especially in the face of earlier market challenges, underscores the growing acceptance and confidence in Bitcoin as a viable investment. The evolving landscape with Bitcoin ETFs gaining traction presents new growth opportunities in the digital asset sector, reinforcing the potential of cryptocurrencies in the broader financial ecosystem.



We look forward to sharing more insights and updates with you next week in the ever-evolving world of blockchain.


Have a great weekend!


Best regards,

The WAGMI Team
