What’s Happening Behind the Curtin?
The $9 Trillion Crypto Signal You’re Not Watching — Ep33
Sovereign Stash hosted by Annie – Dec 7th 2025 – 17 minutes

An excellent “soft,” easy to understand presentation of the big picture that is rapidly developing that is Digitizing the Global Financial World. This is a massive change and in its early days . The financial opportunity is similar to investing in the Internet development in the 1997 time period.

In This Video:

  • Why portfolio pain is not the same thing as crypto market death
  • What’s actually breaking in the altcoin incentive machine
  • Why fewer giant green candles makes rules and sizing matter more
  • The “dollar as code” shift and why it matters
  • What’s secretly growing in crypto
  • What’s Blackrock, Goldman Sachs, BNY Mellon and other institutions doing with stablecoins
  • How to adapt for crypto’s next era

LOTM: I totally agree with the perspective of Annie at Sovereign Stach as presented in the Vid. This perspective is

I: Own the Rails that the Digital Fiancial World is being built upon.

LOTM’s top rated Crypto coins that we consider are some of the leading Rails:

  1. Bitcoin (BTC) – Leading in Store of Value
  2. Aave (AAVE) – Crypto leader for Lending in Finance
  3. Chainlink (LINK) – The connection leader of Smart Contracts to RWA (Real World Assets) needed with the tokenization of everything of value.
  4. Ethereum (ETH) – The crypto leader of the rails that Smart Contracts will be built upon.
  5. Solana (SOL) – The industry leader for rapid payments for companies like Visa and Mastercard
  6. Bittensor (TAO) – the crypto leader involved Crypto that fosters open AI development

We have a desire to own coins or alt-coins that have a modest number for maximum number of coins that will ever be issued as a one consideration. Scarcity creats value – if they are successful. A Risk to Reward lever.

II: Own Companies that run applications on Crypto/Blockchain Rails

For this area we like some individual companies. A Sampling of names we like are Strategy, Strive, Bitmine Immersion, Galaxy Digital, Coinbase, Robin Hood, Shopify, Forward Industries and Sharplink Gaming.

For most individual investors, owning ETF that focus on companies involved in this area might be the best way to proceed. The active manged ETFs gives diversification within this sector, slection of companies as it relates to timing of the buying, selling and percent ownership.

Examples of some active and passive ETFs in this area include ARKF, BKCH, NODE, BLOK, BLKC, CRPT, and FDIG.

For highest quality asset managers of the above ETFs, we like Galaxy Digital, ARK Asset Management and Bitwise Asset Management. Of these three asset managers only Galaxy Digital (GLXY) is a publicly traded stock.

Good fortune to us all. LOTM is available for sharing our perspective and coaching. I am not, however, a Registered Investment Advisor. All thoughts comments and opinions are personal and not Investment Advise.
