Bitcoin Just Set a New Record High – Will Altcoins be Next?

One of the most important things I've learned about investing is that if you can get the long-term adoption trend right, you don't need perfect timing.

For instance, back in the early 2000s, I knew the iPod personal music player would be an unstoppable trend.

So even when my position in Apple dropped more than 30%, I didn't sweat it because I knew the strength of the long-term trend would bail out my bad timing.

And it did.

Apple has rocketed 114,437% higher from its lows in 2003, off the massive wave of consumers adopting its iPod – and later the iPhone. That's enough to turn every $1,000 into $1.15 million.

In 2016, it was clear to me that cryptocurrency was the next massive financial trend. That's why I recommended bitcoin at $400 and change and Ethereum at $9.

Since then, bitcoin is up 26,567% and Ethereum 27,988%. Over that span, though, bitcoin has seen eight drops of 30% or more, and Ethereum 11 drops.

Despite its massive rise, I haven't gotten the timing right on every bitcoin call I've made over the years. But as you can see, I've been spot on when it comes to the long-term trend.

Here's why I'm telling you this…

On very rare occasions, you can get both the trend and timing right on an investment idea.

And on those rare occasions, you see parabolic moves higher in asset prices in days or weeks instead of years or decades.

I believe we just saw the window to one of those rare opportunities open this past Wednesday. And if you wait to act, it will close just as fast…

When You Get the Trend and Timing Right

A week before November 5 last year, I made my first official U.S. presidential election prediction. On camera. In front of thousands of viewers.

Here's what I said:

❝

Right now, everything is pointing to a win for President Trump. And I believe that's going to trigger a boom of biblical proportions in these coins."

My prediction proved to be on the money. Shortly after President Trump's victory on November 5, bitcoin surged as much as 60%.

During my election briefing, I also predicted the biggest gains wouldn't come from bitcoin. I said they'd come from much smaller coins most people don't know about.

Within the first week of his victory, we saw altcoins like PNUT, FRED, and ACT skyrocket 4,825%, 15,338%, and 4,007%, respectively.

All in just one week.

I got the timing and trend right again last month on April 21 when I warned my subscribers I expected the S&P 500 to horribly lag behind the performance of bitcoin.

This wasn't just hot air. I put my money where my mouth is.

I sold my entire $2.5 million position in the S&P 500 and switched it all into BlackRock's bitcoin exchange-traded fund (IBIT).

So far, my prediction has proved accurate.

Since April 21, bitcoin has been up as much as 31.8% and has surpassed its all-time highs… While the S&P 500 has only been up as much as 15.7%.

That brings me to my most recent warning. It concerns a crypto deadline that was set to expire on June 1 but has been extended to late October.

I believe this extension will trigger a parabolic move in bitcoin and act like a warp drive for a tiny subsector of altcoins. And my timing couldn't be better.

Let me explain…

Getting Paid to Hold Crypto

On June 1, the Trump administration was set to decide on a request by Grayscale Investments to allow staking in its Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF).

However, the SEC announced on Wednesday it had postponed that deadline to late October.

I'll explain why this "staking" option will be incredibly bullish for a tiny subsector of the crypto market in a moment. But first, let me tell you why this delay has opened a window on an incredibly rare opportunity.

As I said in my special briefing on Wednesday night, the SEC's delay is a non-event. If anything, it confirms my research. (You can stream the replay right here.)

On the same day the market got wind of the SEC's delay, bitcoin blew past its all-time high and has traded north of $111,600. And the six tokens I recommended to play this move have already started to run and gun.

Friends, I don't believe this is a coincidence.

This price action we saw after Wednesday's announcement suggests to me that the market is trying to front-run an October decision on the Grayscale Ethereum ETF.

Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart – widely considered the top two experts on crypto ETFs – say these delays are typical and wouldn't lead to rejection as approval likelihood remained strong by October 2025.

That means you still have time to act during this window. But it won't stay open long.

My bet is the market continues to front-run this October deadline. And by the time it arrives, the tokens in this tiny subsector will be trading multiples higher.

Before I get to why this deadline is so important, I need to briefly explain the key difference between bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.

Like bitcoin, there are several spot Ethereum ETFs trading on the market. However, unlike bitcoin, Ethereum (and many other altcoins) offer what we call "crypto payouts."

These types of coins pay you to hold them.

These "payouts" are rewards crypto projects use to incentivize adoption of their respective networks. They're similar to stock dividends. But there's a big difference between crypto payouts and dividends.

With payout coins, you get paid in the underlying crypto. That means your rewards appreciate at the same rate as the cryptocurrencies you're paid in.

Ethereum comes with these types of payouts. But due to current regulatory restrictions, Ethereum ETFs trading on U.S. markets can't offer those payouts to their customers.

Friends, this is absolutely insane…

Hong Kong, Canada, and Europe already allow crypto funds trading in their jurisdictions to offer these automatic payouts. But the U.S. federal government prohibits ETFs trading in the United States from doing the same.

This puts American crypto investors at a huge disadvantage to foreign investors.

And it's why Grayscale Investments, the world's largest digital currency asset manager, has asked the Trump administration to formally allow ETFs to offer crypto payouts in its crypto funds. The SEC is now set to make a decision by late October.

Essentially, this will create crypto income funds – something I've been predicting for years. And here's why it will be huge for altcoins that offer crypto payouts...

Grayscale's Ethereum ETF has $2 billion in assets under management (AUM), which represents nearly 50% of all Ethereum assets in the United States.

According to Grayscale, the fund has left nearly $61 million in potential crypto payouts on the table since it launched in June 2024 because of this restriction.

If the rule stays in place, Grayscale estimates investors will forgo $5.5 billion in payouts over the next decade when factoring in daily compounding.

I believe the only thing that prevented the SEC from approving ETFs with automatic payouts was the previous administration, which was hostile to anything crypto.

But the Trump administration is incredibly pro-crypto. And unlike the previous anti-crypto head of the SEC… The new SEC boss, Paul Atkins, is a huge fan.

If you're not familiar with Atkins, he served as co-chair of the Digital Chamber's Token Alliance, an organization that aims to accelerate the adoption of digital assets.

In fact, he has millions of dollars of his own money on the line: Nearly $1 million in equity in two blockchain companies and $5 million in a crypto investment fund.

Do you know what that means?

It means, for the first time ever, we have a pro-crypto SEC. It means the head of the SEC will NOT do anything to hurt the industry.

Now, I can't guarantee the SEC will approve Grayscale's request to offer crypto payouts. But I have no reason to believe Atkins – a man wildly in favor of developing the industry – will reject it.

The Window to Act Is Closing

Friends, the market panic I was looking for is already here. By the time the SEC formally approves these changes… much of the gains will have already been gobbled up by faster-moving investors.

That's why the time to act is now.

The last time I saw the right timing and right trend combine like this was in 2017, when I predicted a massive bull market in crypto assets like Neo (NEO), which we locked in gains of 14,354% on.

Think about that. You'd have to hold the S&P 500 for 51 years to make that much money.

That's why as soon as I heard the SEC announce it was delaying its decision, I immediately sent out an urgent update to my readers. You can watch the replay here.

In that update, I explained why the SEC's decision on allowing staking in ETFs will ignite this "crypto panic" plus my full blueprint to profit from it…

I also shared details of six crypto payout tokens that are already starting to rally ahead of this decision.

(In addition, I gave away a completely free recommendation during the briefing. It's a coin that's trading under 50 cents right now… So there's a lot of upside potential.)

Friends, I thought we'd have more time. I was wrong. The word is out, and buyers are gobbling up as many of these payout coins as they can.

To review my latest research on this new trend, go here. And remember, while the actual announcement has been punted until October (from June 1), the market is already pricing in an SEC approval.

That's why the time to act is now.
