The Trump - Greenland saga is back. And markets are watching.
Donald Trump wants Greenland.
Again.
This time it’s not a joke.
• National security framing
• Rare earth minerals
• Arctic dominance vs China & Russia
• Tariff threats to Europe
• Even military options floated
Europe’s response?
> European Union said no.
> United.
> Firm.
> Calling it coercion.
Denmark offered cooperation.
Trump wants ownership.
Why this matters for crypto 👇
• Geopolitical tension = volatility
• Trade war risk = short-term risk-off
• Long-term → Bitcoin strengthens its hedge narrative
• Tariffs + inflation fears re

RWA projects suffered in 2025.
After a great 2024, the prices of nearly all small cap RWA projects crashed in 2025.
What are we looking for in these times? Projects who are still active and building.
$WELF is one such project that kept building throughout 2025.
> The current price of $0.21 is ~3.5x below the high of the last six months.
> The chart looks completely bottomed out.
> If the altcoin market picks up, small caps which are still active tend to benefit.
NFA but this is exactly the time to do your research. 👀

Sentiment just flipped.
But we’re not near a top.
🟢 Fear & Greed Index: 61 (Greed)
➡️ First time back in Greed since the October crash.
Context matters:
🔴 Last month: 11 (Extreme Fear)
🔴 Last week: 28 (Fear)
🟡 Yesterday: 48 (Neutral)
Sentiment recovered fast.
Now the important part 👇
Bull market peak indicators: 0/30 triggered
• Average progress: ~45%
• No retail euphoria
• No blow-off signals
• ETFs still supportive
Translation:
Greed ≠ top.
Euphoria ≠ here yet.
We’ve moved from panic → optimism,
not from mania → exit.
This is usually the phase where trends build, not where cycles end.

Privacy isn’t a feature. It’s the protocol. 🌊
$XNT | @NeptunePrivacy is rethinking what a Layer-1 can be when confidentiality, scalability, and future-proof security are non-negotiable:
1️⃣ Private by default : no opt-in, no leaks
Every transaction and smart contract is confidential at the base layer. No metadata, no traceability, no “privacy theater.” Just full fungibility and a massive anonymity set.
2️⃣ zk-STARKs at Layer-1 (no trusted setup)
Neptune embeds zk-STARKs directly into consensus, aggregating entire blocks into a single proof. Scalable, transparent, and quantum-safe from day one

🍌 Banana Zone = Macro Rotation
The Liquidity Path:
(I) Gold first
Safe haven.
Macro fear.
Capital hides.
↓
(II) Then silver
Higher beta.
Industrial demand.
Outperforms gold.
↓
(III) Then Bitcoin
Becomes the “TradFi altcoin.”
Scarcity + ETFs + liquidity.
Goes parabolic.
↓
(IV) Then the Banana Zone
Everything pumps.
Mid caps.
Low caps.
Memes.
Mania.
Right now?
> gold and silver have already outperformed
> bitcoin is lagging, historically normal
> liquidity is building again
That’s not weakness.
That’s setup.
Altseason isn’t random.
It’s the end of a capital cascade.
If this cycle follows histor

I bought $NYC because I trusted the name. Lost Over $50000.
> Eric Adams calls it the official NYC token, but it isn’t.
> He says it’s for scholarships and fighting hate, therefore I don’t question it.
> I see Times Square, merch, interviews, but no whitepaper.
> Volume hits $30M in hours, therefore I FOMO.
> Price runs to $0.58, but I don’t know who holds liquidity.
> A wallet adds tokens, therefore I feel safe.
> That same wallet pulls $2.4M in USDC, but I only notice after.
> The chart collapses in minutes, therefore my balance doesn’t matter.
> $500M vanishes, but $930K never comes back.

👉 This Market Is Not Euphoric And That’s a Good Thing
What stands out this week is how calm the market feels despite steady upside.
This isn’t a blow-off rally driven by leverage or viral hype.
Instead, price is moving while sentiment stays measured.
