Hello friends 👋🏻 last newsletter of the year, let’s finish strong! 💪🏻
Crypto Stuff 🚀
📈 The Markets
$BTC - $43,053.42 is down 1.3% in the last 7 days
$ETH - $2,374.65 is up 7.9% in the last 7 days
There are big expectations 👀 for Bitcoin's price as the ETF deadlines draw nearer. The total market capitalisation of crypto has risen by 2.5% to $1.7 trillion. Ethereum is finally seeing some upward movement after being overshadowed in the recent Bitcoin and other altcoins rally over the last few weeks. It's nothing too major, and from my perspective, I'd like a bit more time to continue accumulating! 🤭
🗞️ The News
🔥 The updated Grayscale ETF filing, with revisions addressing major holdouts for approval, has been submitted
MicroStrategy buys more bitcoin, pushing holdings to nearly $6 billions! 🤯
🤓 What am I learning?
I’ve been deep diving into the Real world assets tokenisation concept. Real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation is one of the largest market opportunities in the blockchain industry, with a potential market size in the hundreds of trillions of dollars. In theory, anything of value can be tokenised and brought on-chain.
RWA’s are blockchain-based digital tokens that represent physical and traditional financial assets, such as cash, commodities, equities, bonds, credit, artwork, and intellectual property. The tokenisation of RWAs marks a significant shift in how these assets can be accessed, exchanged, and managed, unlocking an array of new opportunities for both blockchain-powered financial services and a wide variety of non-financial use cases underpinned by cryptography and decentralised consensus.

🆒 Cool Stuff from the Week
🎧 Podcast episode I’m listening to:
This week, I've been listening to the 'Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal' podcast, as it featured an episode with one of my favourite authors, Ryan Holiday. It was an amazing mix of Stoicism and productivity between these two – definitely a great episode to listen to!
📱 Cool app I’m using
I've been thinking about sharing one of my top apps that I use almost every day for tracking my intermittent fasting. It's called 'Zero,' and it's really effective for keeping track of your remaining fasting time. I appreciate that it has a free version with the main functionality, the timer, and you can also start or stop fasting from your Apple Watch or with Siri! I started using it a few months ago, and now I'm on my 287th fast so far!
🤔 Quote I’m pondering:
