- **Bitcoin's Long-Term Outlook** [04:29] — Siegel reiterates Bitcoin will be materially higher in a year, but the market waits for fundamental catalysts; sovereign adoption is a continual story with 22 countries involved.

## Transcript

materially higher in in 1 year. >> Breaking news, $200 billion dollar Van Eck. Van Eck is one of the largest financial institutions in America and around the world. They have admitted, now that Bitcoin is up, they bought the
now that Bitcoin is up, they bought the Bitcoin dip themselves as an institution for the first time when Bitcoin hit 60k. And they're even telling their clients, their $200 billion worth of clients, you need to get your full Bitcoin and crypto
position ready by October. Now, they're not buying every dip. They're being very selective. So, listen for yourself. In under 2 minutes, their head of digital asset research, Matthew Siegel, explains exactly how [music] they are training
their clients and educating them for buying the Bitcoin dip, need to be fully allocated by October. >> What I've been telling clients is that you want to have your full position by October. You know, we
October. You know, we respect the 4-year cycle and it's been one element in kind of not buying every dip in Bitcoin this year. And not to say we didn't buy some of these dips. The
first time that Bitcoin hit hit 60k, we noticed some really one-sided noticed some really one-sided positioning in the derivatives market. And then we got the bounce into the low 80s. And right into the moving averages
80s. And right into the moving averages and on this retest, [music] there hasn't quite been the same type of capitulation signals in terms of, you know, liquidations or the premiums that people are paying for
puts versus calls. And I think that the market noticed And while there was definitely a lot of bearishness, capitulation. Um That said,
puts are still really expensive versus calls by historical standards. We're seeing that like in the 80th percentile. So, it not quite the 99th like we saw
you know the first time BTC hit 60k, but puts are expensive. Realized losses are in the 90th percentile historically. So, people are are dumping losses. So, you
know, there is maybe some hint of sellers exhaustion that may emerge here. sellers exhaustion that may emerge here. And then we've also seen the the older And then we've also seen the the older cohorts kind of two-year plus holders
cohorts kind of two-year plus holders have slowed down their their selling. So, that's another maybe hint of of sellers exhaustion and I think that's what's kind of leading to this Bitcoin bounce here in the latter half of of the
week. Um, but I'm still kind of waiting and and watching to get more to get more aggressive. It really depends on your kind of individual positioning and and risk-reward. What I've been telling
clients is that you want to have your full position by October. So, you know, putting in some type of like time-based buying where you add a few basis points
every every month or so until we get into Q4. That seems like a reasonable strategy. You know, I can't say I know exactly what's going to happen. but the fact that we that that that the four-year pattern matched up so well
like you got to respect it a little bit. >> And the reason why they're not buying every dip, he explains here. Even though they think that Bitcoin's going to be materially higher in one year because of major catalysts down the pipeline,
institutions operate a little bit differently. They don't mind missing the first 10 upswing, and yet they have been cost averaging this whole year because of incoming Clarity Act, incoming strategic
Bitcoin reserve. Over 22 countries have adopted Bitcoin and crypto right now. This number is gradually ticking up, and this sovereign wealth adoption is another big potential narrative catalyst. Anyways, guys, smash the like
button if you're getting value today. More people need to understand the bull case. While Bitcoin is at its lows, VanEck's head of digital asset research Matthew [music] Siegel takes the time to explain. Let's listen.
>> I still think [music] Bitcoin's going to be materially higher in in 1 year, but I think a lot of the market is going to wait for some for some fundamental catalyst to get more excited, and people are okay missing the first 10 or 20% if
>> [music] >> that's really fundamentally positive, whether that's Clarity, uh what you know, the White House has been teasing some progress on Bitcoin strategic reserve now since Vegas, and that that
hasn't occurred. That could be something. Uh and and then the uh the sovereign adoption I think is a is a continual story. We're we're now up to 22 countries that are either mining Bitcoin or holding it at the sovereign
level. It it basically goes up by like one or two countries a year. If that trend uh will stop or reverse, uh you know, that'd be that that would force a reevaluation. If Bitcoin's not um
you know, above its all-time high by like Q1 2028, you know, that that forces maybe a a thesis rethink. Um course. >> And it is crunch time for the Clarity
Act. Guys, smash the like button, support the content. The clock is ticking. We have about 30 days left. The Clarity Act has until August 7th to clear the Senate before lawmakers leave for summer recess. Crypto deserves
regulatory clarity. Let's pass this bill. Remember guys, this isn't some little piece of legislation. This is huge and impactful going forward. The Clarity Act is not just a crypto bill, Senator Cynthia Loomis writes. It's a
decision about whether America leads the next financial system or watches from the sidelines. We're seeing many of the largest and most conservative financial institutions already acting like the Clarity Act is getting passed. And
because it's crunch time, we are seeing everybody full force boots on the ground trying to urge Congress and the White House to get this thing passed. Former
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is now urging Congress and the White House to pass the Crypto Clarity Act, saying, "I've always believed that the technology was going to revolutionize the financial system for the better."
the financial system for the better." >> I've always believed that the technology is going to revolutionize the financial system for the better. For the better.
Faster, more efficient, more access, 24/7. Better for the consumer and better for the economy. All this talk about traditional finance opposes the technology.
You can't oppose technological advancements. Since the ticker tape, since electronic trading, uh it is going to happen. You can't put that back in the box. Look, government
has often lagged behind um changes in the market. Uh, always. Credit default swaps, Uh, always. Credit default swaps, electronic trading. Government was 9, 10
electronic trading. Government was 9, 10 years, uh, in making rules that governed what the market had already done. But, this is an extraordinarily >> Mhm. >> Uh, 2009 crypto takes off. We still
>> Uh, 2009 crypto takes off. We still don't have the rule in place. So-called Clarity Act, which is aptly named, which would provide clarity, because what the companies are saying is, "Tell me the
companies are saying is, "Tell me the rules. Tell me the regulations. I need a referee. Just tell me where the lines are on the field, and what I can do, and >> I am hopeful. Uh, and I'm I'm hopeful because, uh,
the US is getting pushed. Uh, you look at what Europe has just done with ESMA and MiCA, and it it's good for the industry. It's good for the consumer.
>> And with weekly bullish divergence, right in the massive support zone, I have seen the Bitcoin chart look much worse than this over the years. I like that. There is a lot to be excited about going forward with near rock-bottom
