WHAT YOU MISSED THIS WEEK
5 bullish charts you need to see 👀
Despite all the negativity, crypto’s fundamentals seem stronger than ever.
Here are 5 charts that prove things aren’t as bad as they seem.
The largest crypto acquisition ever! 💰️
Kraken just dropped a record-breaking $1.5B to acquire NinjaTrader (a U.S. futures trading platform).
With the government warming up to crypto, 2025 could be the year of mega M&A deals for crypto. Buckle up.
We got Coinbase’s Head of Strategy on the pod! 🎙️
Coinbase surveyed nearly 400 institutional investors (big boys, if ya nasty) about their investment outlook for crypto.
The biggest takeaway? The big boys aren’t just dipping their toes—they’re diving in.

What’s easier?
Buying 5 fruits, washing and chopping them for a salad
or
Buying a ready-made fruit salad?
Most would prefer the latter and that’s exactly what DTFs are doing but for crypto: preparing a platter of crypto that’s served all together.
DTFs (Decentralized Token Folios) on Reserve are thematic crypto indexes that track specific narratives or whole markets (and anyone can create them!).
Instead of purchasing multiple cryptos and assigning weights, simply create your own DTF.
No middlemen, no delays.
