Crypto is going through its Amazon moment right now. When Amazon's stock crashed from $113 to $6, Bezos said his internal metrics were still going up. Jeff Kendrick says that's exactly what just happened in crypto. "Share price was collapsing, but all my internal metrics were going up." The altcoins that benefit from tokenization are where that building now pays off. FT @StanChart @BitcoinJesusETH @Nexo

A Wall Street banker just called the crypto bear market officially over. When Scott Bessent announced the US Treasury would buy more back-end bonds, Geoffrey Kendrick of Standard Chartered said: "That, for me, is the signal that the cycle is officially over." Now he's hunting for altcoin alpha. FT @StanChart @BitcoinJesusETH @Nexo

Greenspan saw this playbook in the 90s, and it is running again today. Productivity was subdued in the late 90s because of tech investment, which helped keep inflation in check even as the economy boomed. "Warsh, Bessent, Trump, everybody has said productivity is the big game in town; we're going to grow our way out of the debt." Amazon is the live test case. Robot workforce, drone delivery, self-driving vans. Margins going vertical. "The US economy should follow the same path." FT @raoulGMI @BitcoinJesusETH @Nexo
