Hello dear subscribers! Today we’ll be talking about two AI projects with amazing potential. But that’s not all, we will be taking a look into the huge inflows the Altcoin market has seen during the last week.

In today’s bulletin, we are covering:

  • Surfing the Market, with FET and RENDER analysis
  • Don’t miss the News about Bitcoin Soaring and Massive Crypto Inflows.
  • Tron Network is under the spotlight.
  • A short article about The 1929 Crash, the Beginning of the Great Depression.

Today we are going to start taking a look into FET. Which is showing great strength, confirming the bull pennant breakout and pushing for the bullish continuation:

We continue jumping into other AI projects. RENDER is consolidating the main horizontal range at $4.5 nicely. Showing strength after the main breakout. I do think it looks absolutely primed to reach at least the previous highs on the $10-$12 levels:

Reimagining Bitcoin’s Ascent Amid Bond Market Turmoil

In a world where bond yields are breaking records and shaking investor faith in Treasuries, Bitcoin has bucked conventional wisdom by rallying alongside the chaos. Here’s a concise look at why BTC’s next leg up might be driven by everything that once threatened it.

Highlights:

  • Spiraling yields: US/Japan debt warning as national debts rise and confidence falls.
  • Macro catalyst: Bitcoin thrives on turmoil, exposing the old risk model’s flaws.
  • Institutional pivot: Major funds flood spot BTC ETFs, underweighting US equities.
  • Dual role: Bitcoin serves as both high-yield asset and apolitical store of value.

As cracks widen in fiat debt-based systems, Bitcoin’s blend of predictability and decentralization positions it as a compelling alternative, underlining a fundamental shift in where markets seek refuge and opportunity.

Crypto Funds Hit a $3.3 Billion Weekly Inflow, Taking YTD Totals Past $10 Billion

Digital-asset investment products just enjoyed a gargantuan week, pulling in $3.3 billion and pushing year-to-date net inflows above $10 billion. Institutional adoption and macro volatility are driving fresh capital into crypto funds.

Highlights:

  • Record weekly surge: $3.3 billion flowed into crypto products in the last seven days, setting a new high-water mark.
  • YTD momentum: Total net inflows for the year now exceed $10 billion, underscoring sustained institutional interest.
  • Bitcoin dominance: Roughly 85–90% of last week’s inflows landed in Bitcoin funds, with altcoin and multi-asset vehicles making up the balance.
  • Regional leadership: U.S.–based products led the charge, followed by strong European demand and smaller, selective inflows in Asia.

The combination of record cash pours, Bitcoin’s outsized share and geographically diversified demand paints a clear picture: professional investors are increasingly treating crypto as a core part of their portfolios rather than a fringe experiment.

Project Research: Tron ($TRX)

The Origins:

Founded in 2017 by Justin Sun, Tron is one of the most established blockchains in the space. Initially positioned as a decentralized content distribution protocol but now functioning as a full-fledged smart contract platform with its own Layer 1 ecosystem.

The Operative:

Tron is a high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain with consistently low fees and fast finality. It uses a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus with 27 elected Super Representatives, updated every 6 hours, which validate blocks and maintain governance. This system allows Tron to process up to 2,000 TPS with average block times of ~3 seconds.

A major evolution in Tron’s architecture was the integration of BitTorrent Chain (BTTC); a cross-chain solution connecting Tron with Ethereum and BNB Chain. BTTC enables seamless asset transfers and interoperability, reinforcing Tron’s push toward a multi-chain ecosystem.

Tron also runs its native stablecoin infrastructure, powering the growth of USDT (Tether) and USDD, a decentralized over-collateralized stablecoin. Tron now accounts for over 50% of all USDT in circulation, making it the dominant chain for stablecoin transactions by volume.

In recent months, Tron introduced ZK Layer 2 plans and announced the development of a Bitcoin Layer 2 solution aimed at enabling smart contracts and DeFi activity on Bitcoin using Tron infrastructure. Additionally, Tron’s integration with the Ethereum-based Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) signals further interoperability ambitions.

Token & Competitors:

$TRX is the native utility and governance token of the Tron network. It is used to pay for gas fees, participate in staking, and support ecosystem governance.

Key features:

  • Max Supply: No fixed cap; currently ~88.6B TRX in circulation.,
  • Consensus Role: TRX holders can stake their tokens to vote for Super Representatives.,
  • Deflationary Design: Tron has implemented periodic token burns to reduce total supply.,

Unlike many newer projects, Tron did not follow a conventional vesting/unlocking model, as the token launched before 2018. Most TRX is already in circulation, with transparent on-chain tracking of team wallets and reserves.

Positioning:

Tron’s strategy focuses on performance, cost-efficiency, and adoption in emerging markets. Its dominance in stablecoin flows, especially in Asia and Africa, has enabled it to carve out a clear market share in on-chain payments and remittances. The integration of cross-chain features and its expanding role in Bitcoin Layer 2 development indicate a shift toward more infrastructure-level contributions in Web3.

While its reputation remains controversial, Tron has managed to stay highly relevant in active users, TVL, and transactions; consistently ranking in the top 5 chains by on-chain activity.

The growing importance of stablecoins, cross-chain liquidity, and Layer 2 scalability has reshaped the Layer 1 race. As the Web3 stack matures, infrastructure that enables fast, cheap, and interoperable value transfer, especially across ecosystems and geographies, will remain essential to the next wave of adoption.

The 1929 Crash, the Beginning of the Great Depression

We have to go back to October 24, 1929, also known as Black Thursday, when the stock market collapse began, what we now know as the Crash of ’29. But why did it happen, and what were the consequences? Let’s revisit a piece of history about the biggest market crisis of all time.

The Golden Decade

The U.S. stock market experienced an unprecedented boom during the 1920s. It was a time of optimism, mass consumption, and strong economic growth. But beneath that apparent prosperity, the foundation was weak and the market became a bubble. On Thursday, October 24, 1929, investors started selling stocks massively. By Tuesday the 29th (Black Tuesday), the collapse was total: millions of shares were dumped with no buyers in sight… the market had dried up. This marked the beginning of a crash that would last over two years and wipe out nearly 90% of the Dow Jones’ value.

Why Did It Happen?

The crash was the result of a dangerous mix of wild speculation, cheap credit, and lack of regulation… the perfect recipe for disaster:

  • Speculation without fundamentals: people were buying just because “everything was going up,” with no real analysis of company value.,
  • Excessive margin use: investors were borrowing heavily, buying stocks with as little as 10% of their own capital.,
  • Lack of regulation: there were no institutions like the SEC. No transparency in company reports, and no leverage limits.,
  • Slow response from the government and the Fed: no concrete measures were taken to stop the panic or inject liquidity into the system.,

The result was a chain reaction: the market collapsed, banks failed, companies shut down, and millions lost their savings… and their lives.

Social Impact

This wasn’t just a financial event, it triggered a global crisis:

  • The Great Depression: years of deep recession followed. Industrial production dropped over 50%, and unemployment reached 25% in the U.S.,
  • Loss of homes and banks: thousands of banks closed. Many people lost their houses and life savings.,
  • Shift in economic policy: new approaches emerged. Franklin D. Roosevelt launched the New Deal and brought an interventionist state model.,
  • Structural reforms: the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) was created, and new financial laws were introduced to prevent future collapses.,

What Can We Learn?

Almost a century later, the lessons still apply to anyone trading or investing in markets. As Jesse Livermore once said: “There is nothing new on Wall Street. Speculation is as old as the hills, what happened then will happen again.

  • Don’t trade on hype: markets go up and down. Bubbles always burst, eventually.,
  • Risk management first: never invest money you can’t afford to lose. Be cautious with leverage.,
  • Focus on fundamentals: a price without economic backing is just air. Bubbles are built on illusions.,
  • Mass psychology matters: fear and greed move markets more than any other force.,

Learning about past crises is always valuable to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
