Hola DD amigos! Earnest apologies, for we have been away and that too for quite a while.. But we are back now and more than excited to bring you a slew of stories that will pump you up for the massive bull wave coming up ahead. So, let’s dive in!
Here’s what we have for you in this issue:
- Ethereum’s getting bigger, better & bolder 💪
- Corporate treasuries’ new love affair with Altcoins
- The hunt for the next Fed Chair is on
The ETH Bull Beast Mode Is Officially On🦖
Notice how we put a T. rex emoji in the subheading and not a bull. That’s because ETH is in a completely savage mode like the prehistoric apex predator (gobbling up bears and leaving no carcasses behind).
The top altcoin approached its previous all-time high of approximately USD 4.9K (USD 4,802, to be precise) and broke out almost vertically against USDT as well as BTC.
Corporate treasuries are stacking it, and chart-watchers (read technical analysts) across the board are pulling out every bullish pattern in the book to predict $6K, $8K, even a $20K price by 2025-end.
Vertical breakouts are not new for ETH. The last time we had one of those, the ETH price surged 10X from approximately USD 400 to USD 4,400 (circa 2021).
Then, too, and this time again, Bitcoin dominance ducked. Ether rocked. Shorters shocked😎
And, with ETH’s breakout, multiple technical setups reinforced its upcoming bullish reign in the near term.
- Wyckoff Accumulation breakout → Analyst Lord Hawkins says ETH is in its “Sign of Strength” phase and could be headed for $6K before year-end.
- Multi-year triangle breakout → Analysts Crypto Rover & Titan of Crypto are mapping an $8K target.
Historical cycle comparisons → Nilesh Verma sees 2017/2020-like upside, forecasting $10K–$20K in the next 8 months.
To fuel Ether’s bullishness, it is also winning the capital inflows game against Bitcoin.

Finally, but far from the least, more companies are now holding ETH alongside — or instead of — BTC.
What does this indicate?
- With BTC dominance dwindling, the market’s ready to go “all-in on altcoins”.
- ETH has transformed from being a blockchain token to an institutional asset.
- Unlike previous cycles, this isn’t speculation. The flip, backed by institutional support, is real. And, so is the value creation.
We suggest you buckle up tight, with your ETH bags by your side, as it is going to be one hell of a ride! 🚀
The Advent of Altcoin Treasuries🪙
If you’ve observed only Bitcoin and Ether making it to company balance sheets, look again.
A wave of public companies — some struggling, some just hungry for hype — are now stuffing their coffers with altcoins, from meme tokens to staking-heavy L1s.
And yes, it’s getting crazy.

Who, even in their wildest dreams, would have imagined that dog-themed crypto meme tokens would find their place in corporate treasuries?
Picture this:
- BONK x Safety Shot (SHOT)
Solana’s dog meme coin BONK will now be the treasury asset of NASDAQ-listed Safety Shot. Announcement day? SHOT’s stock halved. BONK’s price barely blinked. - IP x Heritage Distilling (CASK)
Heritage Distilling will be the first public company to hold Story Protocol’s IP token in its treasury. Backed by A16Z, the deal involves $100M cash + $120M in IP tokens. Stock still trades at 5-year lows. - SUI x Mill City Ventures (MCVT)
MCVT just added $20M worth of SUI to its already hefty stash, staking it for $26k/day in rewards. Stock pumped from $1.69 to $5.99 in days.
“Corporate treasury play” was once reserved for BTC and ETH whales. Now the game has spread into a smaller and riskier territory. The pitch is simple: partner with a public company, use its access to equity and debt markets to load up on tokens, and ride the hype cycle.
What’s the game plan?
- Staking = yield machine: Unlike BTC treasuries, many altcoin plays come with built-in staking rewards that can turn idle holdings into daily income.
- Stock market hype loop: Even if token prices stay flat, company share prices often see short-term pumps after a treasury announcement.
And what’s the risk profile with these “altcoin treasury moves”? 10X. Why?
Illiquid tokens, shallow demand outside crypto circles, and bear-market crashes can crush both the token and the company’s stock.
The thing is, for some companies, it’s a desperate bid to stay relevant. For others, it’s a new kind of high-risk, high-reward asset strategy.
Either way, when you see a struggling microcap announcing it’s holding a meme coin “for the long term,” remember: this is either the future of corporate finance… or the final form of the exit pump.
If you ask us, it sounds more like the latter.
Who Will Be The Next Chair of the US Federal Reserve?💼
The search for the next US Fed Chair has officially begun.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is holding one-on-one interviews with the leading candidates to replace Jerome Powell when his term as Fed chair ends in May.
Front-runners:
- Michelle Bowman — Vice Chair for Supervision, pro–rate cuts
- Philip Jefferson — Vice Chair of the Board, steady on rates, bipartisan credibility
- Lorie Logan — Dallas Fed President, hawkish on inflation
Other contenders include Trump adviser Kevin Hassett, Fed Governor Christopher Waller, former Fed officials Kevin Warsh and James Bullard, plus economist Marc Sumerlin.
The final decision will be made by President Trump after he meets the finalists later this year.
The Timeline
- Now: Bessent interviews candidates, gauges their stances on inflation, interest rates, and the Fed’s strategy.
- Fall: Trump meets the finalists.
- May 2026: Powell’s term ends, opening the seat.
And The Repurcussions:
- Markets: Whoever takes the chair will have immediate sway over rates — a decision that could cause ripples through stocks, bonds, and housing prices.
- Politics: Trump has made it clear he wants lower rates, openly criticizing Powell. His pick will set the Fed’s tone for years.
This isn’t just a personnel change — it’s the central bank power play of the decade.
Before we sign off, here’s what we’d love for you to remember: turn a blind eye to ETH now, and you’ll regret it later. See you in the next issue with more sizzling stories from cryptoland!
