Bitcoin Nearly Kisses $80,000 as a Mega Rally Erupts
Up 22% on the week, $1.2B more shorts liquidated in hours — and $HYPE hits an all-time high
The weekly Bitcoin chart the crew pulled up to size the biggest candle in the show's memory
Bitcoin closed in on $80,000 before easing to $77,000, up 22% on the week — and at one point the weekly candle was up 27%. The crew pulled up the weekly chart and argued it may be the biggest green candle in Bitcoin history, with ETF inflows at $606M yesterday and $1.6B week-to-date, heading toward $2B. Tyler: 'If you think you missed it, you didn't.'
Hyperliquid's token hit $77.80, a new all-time high, and the crew called it a narrative trade — perps coming to the US — not fundamentals, since revenues have been down. 'Little brother' LIT, which shares the narrative and the CFTC/institutional path, is in a textbook cup-and-handle, with the hosts calling for $3 and then $3-4. D disclosed he holds LIT and Zeke as his two big positions.
ETH is back at $2,403 — the exact level the crew called two days ago — with $219M in inflows, its biggest day since September 2025. Solana hit Tyler's high-80s/low-90s target at $90.8, and majors are ripping: ENA +40-45%, XRP +40%, SPX6900 up ~300 to ~400, Zcash +15%, with LayerZero, VVV, Monad, Arbitrum, Chainlink and Jupiter all up 30%.
After Wednesday's White House meeting — where Trump answered 'we've been talking about it' when asked if the US would buy substantial crypto — the board debated Flood's prediction that the US will announce a $100B+ Bitcoin purchase program and a nationalization of MicroStrategy within 24 months. Tyler called the nationalization 'crazy'; the segment closed with tinfoil-hat chatter that 'something has happened we don't know about yet.'
The crew called the CASHCAT bottom at $86M market cap; it bounced and now sits 60% off the bottom. STONKBROKER's bleeding has stopped (down ~60% from highs), PONS is 'looking better,' and the AI dog — ASR 'artificial Enu' — is now the #2 or #3 meme after a move that could be a 6X off the bottom. Tyler's positioning advice for a $10K Robinhood Chain wallet: buy the STONKBROKER dip and a little PONS, with CASHCAT the safer listed bet.
BON jumped 70% as yesterday's top leader, KATE was the mover of the day with top on-chain traders aping in (Tyler: 'I don't copy trade'), and the ANSEM market cap is back to $290M, heading toward $1B in the crew's eyes. WIFF pumped 40% off the bottom and is at $185 — with Mando saying all the 2024 memes are coming back. Wiz was on yesterday and told the crew to get positioned on Robinhood Chain; PONS is his pick.
NFTs were quiet — a 3D Punk sold for 51 ETH — but the crew flagged Wrecktrader's mint (0.02 ETH on Robinhood Chain, AI-driven trader contest, prize for winners; Ovi's art, D holds '2 trillion Wreck') and an X Copy teaser dropped 34 minutes before the show, with the NFT board watching Gary Vee's boots-on-the-ground push to bring action back.
pump.fun revenue hit $2.3M on Wednesday and $2M on Thursday — its two biggest back-to-back days since January — while Hyperliquid pulled in $3-4M over the same two days, its biggest since June. X is reportedly in talks to pay creators in stablecoins like USDC for RevShare, and Binance launched Agent OS, letting AI agents trade spot and margin.
