Crypto Rundown: Retail Sells as Institutions Buy- What the Data is Showing Us!
In this Crypto 101 Podcast episode, Tevo and Brian break down a volatile week where crypto, stocks, and gold all fell together amid government gridlock and macro anxiety. Despite fear in retail circles, they emphasize that fundamentals remain strong, with institutions actively buying into Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. The hosts highlight massive whale selling, a privacy coin breakout led by Zcash, and the steady advance of new ETFs signaling deep institutional conviction. They close with optimism — noting that volatility is opportunity, the “McRib indicator” is back, and prediction markets show growing mainstream integration.
