FTLS ETF News Headlines

My next big call (under $1)
The obvious way to "bet on Trump" in crypto is the Trump memecoin. And right now it's back in the news, with a contest offering its biggest holders a seat at dinner with the President. It's also about 97% below its peak. Because a memecoin doesn't benefit from good policy. It benefits from attention. The real winners of a pro-crypto Washington are the projects with actual businesses underneath them. Ones that get more valuable as rules get clearer, institutions get comfortable, and more money flows into the market.tc pixel
