While the crowd chases Bitcoin to $150,000, Weiss Ratings expert Juan Villaverde believes a different coin—already backed by giants like Google, Visa, and PayPal—could soon become crypto’s “Third Giant.”Discover the coin that could define Trump’s crypto presidency. 11/15/20232,560,000 shares $112.54 million No Change11.2%16.1 $43.96 10/31/20232,560,000 shares $96.46 million +2.8%11.2%16.2 $37.68 10/15/20232,490,000 shares $117.35 million +2.5%11.0%17.2 $47.13 9/30/20232,430,000 shares $116.06 million +5.7%10.7%17.9 $47.76 9/15/20232,300,000 shares $108.86 million -4.2%10.1%16.6 $47.33 8/31/20232,400,000 shares $112.46 million -3.2%10.6%16.2 $46.86 8/15/20232,480,000 shares $121.40 million -6.1%10.9%14.9 $48.95 7/31/20232,640,000 shares $141.24 million +1.2%11.7%14.8 $53.50 7/15/20232,610,000 shares $135.28 million -1.5%11.5%14.9 $51.83 6/30/20232,650,000 shares $128.84 million No Change11.7%14.7 $48.62 6/15/20232,650,000 shares $128.95 million No Change11.7%13.3 $48.66 5/31/20232,650,000 shares $114.14 million +1.9%11.7%12 $43.07 5/15/20232,600,000 shares $118.69 million +2.4%11.5%9.1 $45.65 4/30/20232,540,000 shares $130.51 million +0.8%11.2%8.9 $51.38 4/15/20232,520,000 shares $132.96 million +6.8%11.3%8.9 $52.76 3/31/20232,360,000 shares $119.06 million -6.7%10.5%8.1 $50.45 3/15/20232,530,000 shares $117.75 million -13.4%11.2%9.3 $46.54 2/28/20232,920,000 shares $150.91 million +2.8%12.9%11.3 $51.68 2/15/20232,840,000 shares $160.97 million -0.4%12.6%14.2 $56.68 1/31/20232,850,000 shares $158.80 million +2.9%12.6%15.3 $55.72 1/15/20232,770,000 shares $145.51 million -0.4%12.2%14.1 $52.53 12/30/20222,780,000 shares $133.27 million -3.8%12.3%13.3 $47.94 12/15/20222,890,000 shares $140.45 million -3.0%12.8%13 $48.60 11/30/20222,980,000 shares $150.19 million -1.7%13.2%12.9 $50.40 11/15/20223,030,000 shares $150.41 million -6.2%13.4%12.3 $49.64 10/31/20223,230,000 shares $164.47 million +0.9%14.3%12 $50.92 10/15/20223,200,000 shares $150.30 million -2.1%13.8%9.7 $46.97 9/30/20223,270,000 shares $148.72 million -5.2%14.1%8.6 $45.48 9/15/20223,450,000 shares $174.78 million -7.5%14.9%9 $50.66 8/31/20223,730,000 shares $203.96 million +2.8%16.1%9.7 $54.68 8/15/20223,630,000 shares $204.62 million -0.3%15.7%9.7 $56.37 7/31/20223,640,000 shares $263.65 million +6.7%15.5%9.8 $72.43 7/15/20223,410,000 shares $221.58 million -18.8%14.5%11 $64.98 6/30/20224,200,000 shares $242.63 million +8.5%17.9%14.7 $57.77 6/15/20223,870,000 shares $221.48 million +1.6%14.1%13.7 $57.23 5/31/20223,810,000 shares $232.83 million +0.8%16.2%13.2 $61.11 5/15/20223,780,000 shares $221.73 million +0.3%16.1%11 $58.66 4/30/20223,770,000 shares $217.94 million -3.1%15.8%10.3 $57.81 4/15/20223,890,000 shares $231.07 million -4.0%16.3%10.2 $59.40 3/31/20224,050,000 shares $254.06 million -11.4%16.9%8.9 $62.73 3/15/20224,570,000 shares $278.63 million -5.8%19.1%10.7 $60.97 2/28/20224,850,000 shares $320.05 million -5.3%16.9%10.9 $65.99 2/15/20225,120,000 shares $358.71 million +1.4%17.8%11.1 $70.06 1/31/20225,050,000 shares $325.73 million +13.5%17.6%11.9 $64.50 1/15/20224,450,000 shares $300.02 million -1.6%15.5%10.5 $67.42 12/31/20214,520,000 shares $280.74 million -18.6%15.8%11.7 $62.11 12/15/20215,550,000 shares $325.90 million +9.0%19.3%16.4 $58.72 11/30/20215,090,000 shares $296.95 million +10.9%17.7%16 $58.34 11/15/20214,590,000 shares $271.18 million +7.2%16.0%18.8 $59.08 10/29/20214,280,000 shares $231.21 million +4.1%14.9%19 $54.02Elon’s BIGGEST warning yet?
