0:00.0	All right, everyone, welcome back to your weekly market rundown here in the crypto sector,
0:14.5	where we talk about everything that's going on from the fundamentals in the news to the
0:18.8	technicals on the charts.
0:20.2	We spend the time doing hours of
0:22.1	research so that you all don't have to. And man, I hope everyone is buckled up because we are in
0:29.2	store for a very volatile and a very large week in the crypto markets. Just today over on the

1:28.5	stable coin market work its way through the government, start passing its way through everything
1:33.5	and get a lot of the green lights that it needed, everybody wants in. And I'm not underestimating
1:39.6	this at all. In fact, I think if anything, we're selling this short because J.P. Morgan has already filed for a
1:46.0	trademark stable coin. We have Deutsche Bank following up and saying, hey, we're interested in making
