Today’s episode of The Turning Point breaks down one of the most volatile and revealing weeks in global finance. Extreme market moves aren’t random. They’re signals. And today we decode those signals.
We examine why Bitcoin whales holding 1,000+ BTC are collapsing to multi-year lows, why they’re aggressively shorting the market, and the deeper connection to Tether’s systemic fragility and the growing risk of a 2019-style liquidity crunch.
We analyze the nearly $1B in Mt. Gox Bitcoin movements, the renewed fears of forced selloffs, and why smart money is exiting speculative assets and searching for real, utility-driven infrastructure.
We cover the 100,000+ tech layoffs hitting Amazon, Google, Meta, and how the acceleration of AI is displacing millions as corporations transition to autonomous, data-driven systems. This ties directly into the massive investments from Palantir, Oracle, MIT, and IBM in nuclear-powered data centers, and why even Saudi Arabia’s leadership is aligning with these shifts while financing the next geopolitical chapter in the Middle East.
And finally, we connect how all of this leads toward a new financial architecture. As liquidity tightens globally, institutions are positioning themselves for the next system, one built on real settlement utility, not speculation. RippleNet, tokenized assets, and XRP as the neutral bridge are quietly consolidating into the backbone of that transition.
We’re seeing the same patterns that preceded the 2019 repo crisis, liquidity stress, collateral shortages, and central banks preparing emergency interventions. This is the calm before the restructuring.

Is it worth holding SHIB.INU?
You guys are the best on this topic. I have learnt so much since listening to this channel. Thanks Andy from Texas
Versan, do you still endorse I trust capital?
Great ETF point 👌🏾
@BlackSwanCapitalist Hello brother great video thanks. You mentioned Xaman wallet is not "cold", did you mean if you are using the phone app only ? How about if it's paired with a Xaman card (made by Tangem I believe), in this case is it considered a cold wallet ?
-Originally N.Ireland, currently watching from Philippines
So how does one set up limit sales to pull profits if all my crypto is on my cold wallet? Can the limit sales be set up from the cold wallet?
Wouldn't stalled regulations BENEFIT XRP greatly? The lawsuit gave it clarity and essentially dug a moat around XRP. This would force the use of XRP during a credit event/liquidity freeze event…am I off?
I realize I don't really understand how BTC and XRP are tied. Edo talks about this at the beginning.
Explain., please, how come a cold wallet Is better when It comes down to confiscation if those are own by a company as well. ( Kyc process AND son on). The only way we can protect assets Is if they aré physical and we HAVE them in our sorroundings. Digital assets aré NOT as such. Cold wallets go under other type of dangers like company issues, tech issues, likes Ledger did. Cold wallet might be best but not good enough.
I also think btc will be pumped to the extent of the need of happy faces for 2026 electoral period. Afterwards …
Bitcoin as a "debt base instrument" and "bitcoin maxis shorting the market" wow, now I really Laughed Out Loud.
6 years + of holding, regardless how much it drops… I'm not budging.
No idea when it will reach high price, I just know one day it will.
Northern mn. Love your videos and insight on the markets. I align with much of your videos and thoughts on the future of the markets. God bless and thank you for everything you do. Have a blessed weekend.
hello from Seattle. Thank you so much, such a helpful education.
What phone do you use for crypto storage versan or does anyone know? They mentioned a phone a while ago it was like 1k I just can’t find the brand or remember what they said. Any help with this would be great
Bless you both , honestly your videos go a long way for my sanity.
I’m in the uk and I’m mentally exhausted. I’m pulling 15 hour shifts at night driving to bring as much in as possible for the family. I’m holding xrp guys I’m not selling, I am listening! I have a pot of velo and XLM for short term . If velo went to 20p think that’s 25 cent ? I’d be debt free other than the mort-gage ( I don’t intend to clear that though) I just need enough to get out this whole. I’m looking at Poland to be honest but the taxes are killing me here. Hopefully something before Christmas would be Awsome.
Again I may be tired but I won’t give up ❤
Take care out there guys you are bringing a lot of truth.
No mention of xrp
China's digital currency rails include the central bank-issued Digital Yuan (e-CNY) and its supporting infrastructure, which are being developed for both domestic use and cross-border payments. A key component is Project mBridge, a multi-jurisdictional platform for multi-Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) payments. Other digital rails also include the use of yuan-backed stablecoins.
Digital Yuan (e-CNY)
Retail CBDC: The digital yuan is China's official central bank digital currency, issued by the People's Bank of China (PBOC). It is designed for everyday transactions and is a digital equivalent to the physical yuan, pegged 1:1.
Infrastructure: The digital yuan operates on a centralized, "two-tiered" system where the PBOC distributes it to authorized partner institutions, such as major state-owned banks and financial arms of companies like Tencent and Alibaba.
Domestic Use: The e-CNY has been rolled out in pilot programs across numerous cities and scenarios, including retail payments, transportation, and salary payments. By mid-2024, the pilot program's transaction volume reached approximately $986 billion.
Cross-Border Expansion: The PBOC is actively pursuing the internationalization of the e-CNY. In September 2025, an operations center was opened in Shanghai to manage cross-border payment networks and blockchain services. The e-CNY is being tested for international use, including for commodity settlements and tourist payments.
Project mBridge
Multi-CBDC Platform: This collaborative project involves the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), China, Hong Kong, Thailand, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia.
Cross-Border Settlements: Project mBridge aims to develop a distributed ledger technology (DLT) platform that uses multiple CBDCs to enable near-instant, low-cost cross-border payments and foreign exchange settlements, bypassing traditional correspondent banking systems.
Milestone: The project reached a "minimum viable product" stage in mid-2024.
Stablecoins
Supplementing the e-CNY: Chinese authorities are also exploring the use of yuan-backed stablecoins to expand the yuan's international use cases.
Offshore Yuan: In 2025, a Hong Kong fintech company launched the first stablecoin pegged to the offshore Chinese yuan (CNH) to facilitate trade.
Is having crypto in a Tevolut account as risky as an exchange? Based in London
Your comments with Judy regarding the outlook for 2026 with the short lived bull run governed by bitcoin dominance drop, then onto a bear market to Sep. If we join your patreon, will that notify us when those events are playing out? I don’t want to miss it but wouldn’t know when Bitcoin dominance is moving.
Remember. Xrp needs the USA dollar to survive. Good luck with that. China is taking over. Xrp not used in China
Hey Guys. I really value your content. Thank you. I just wonder what you think of the technical analysis being presented by Lewis Jackson through his recent 'Macro' series of posts on Youtube. It would be incredibly useful if you were able to address 'Zero-Knowledge Proofs' and Lewis's recommendations associated with Chainlink – ONDO, DUSK, OriginTrail (TRAK) and COTI?
Thank you both for sharing such wonderful and insightful information. I am looking forward to your next installment on these topics of conversation. Again thank you!!!
Thank you for your insight!! Love listening to you!!
Well said!! Cut the BS.. love it! Appreciate your wisdom & knowledge inputting upon us.
This lines up perfectly with the “Economic Blackout” ?
Please know your worth and don't waste time entertaining or wasting your brain space even acknowledging they exist. Imho❤
I love the truthfulness & straightforward way you both handle the info you relate to us and Versan I feel bad for the crap people are giving you, I can sense your frustration!!! Love you guys and always look forward to your ❤podcasts. Stay in your lane people or go listen somewhere else!!
Is the purpose of having multi cold wallets to just spread out your assets so that if they've tried to get one they couldn't get the other it would be more difficult?
GOOD WORK
what would realistically achieve the Ultimate goal is if you need a Digital Wallet to access your Stimulus Check, a digital Wallet that can frictionlessly convert your USDC into any other digital asset… 🤔
BTW, thank you for a good show, I particularly enjoyed your 60k valuation on XRP, not because you 'hyped it up' but rather because you dug into the mechanism.
much of it I researched myself, but the part I missed was that a high XRP is important for liquidity pools. thank you.
I did an interesting AI query on various crypto'S PE ratios and it's very interesting.
The drop in the market today also happens on the day that ISO adoption becomes mandatory, what a coincidence.
almost done with the interview and wow, I had no idea they are offering $4000 per person they bring onto institutional grade custody! Wealth sovereignty is worth more than institutional custody, my gut was right.
I talked to a friend of mine into getting some XRP. He bought $5000 on Coinbase. The other day he logged and it was all gone. He got never got a notice from them. They never did any extra security check. They said you must’ve logged on a fake Coinbase account but before Coinbase just transfers everything out shouldn’t there be an additional security measure like text his phone something. I don’t trust Coinbase I’m pretty sure they were part of that $16 billion steel the elites just did a few months back every time I turn around when I’m looking at people to get hacked it’s Coinbase they’re getting hacked on. 🤔🤔
Thank you for all the knowledge you continue to drop in every video, It's really appreciated.
So do you recommend holding your crypto inside an LLC/trust you own on cold storage?
Awesome show!!!
And what if they sell the Bitcoin to push the price all the way down, so that as many retail investors as possible sell their holdings — and then the states and governments buy Bitcoin back at the bottom, when everyone thinks it’s dead? They want it as a reserve currency, so it works in their favor if as few retail investors as possible hold Bitcoin. That actually makes a bit more sense to me. Yes, I also think that application coins like XRP will decouple from the market.
What about Xaman? Is that safe?
Love love love this video. Xxx thank you

⚠️I need some clarification, please.⚠️
I currently have holdings with Caleb & Brown, and from what I’m hearing, it sounds like you and Edo do not support (with understood, good reason) that type of institutional-style custody— that is now clear to me.
👉🏼 Also, when you said you’re “not going to miss out on that percent over there” — referring to Caleb & Brown — I honestly don’t understand what that means. Are you saying you receive a cut or some kind of percentage from client transactions through a relationship with Caleb & Brown? I’ve replayed your explanation many times, and I still can’t determine exactly what you’re saying. This is really important to me, so I need a very clear and direct explanation.
Thanks so much! ✝️
Jeff
PS. your work is appreciated beyond belief. Thank you so much. You will continue to sleep better by being one of the good guys. Blessings!
Versan. You are the legend. All about TRUST. I TRUST you.
As always, Great work Versan and Edo
When Caleb and Brown has your assets, its crypto in and fiat out. you have no control of your crypto anymore
You guys are the only legit people talking about this. So grateful for that
I'd heard that the BTC encryption code came from the encryption used for nuke subs, if that's true that tells you where BTC came from.
