GM Degens,
If you think you can't make money when nothing is happening, think again. We've been exploring the possibility for some time, and today we'll present you with the narrative of the prediction market.
Meanwhile, adoption has shot into the stratosphere, with mortgage companies now seemingly preparing to accept Bitcoin as collateral for home purchases in the US.
Crazy times, and the bull market continues.
Let's dive in!

📰 Question of the Day
Ready To Fund Your Home With Bitcoin?
As the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) sliding to its lowest level since March 2022, Bitcoin’s eyeing a breakout, and today’s U.S. Q1 2025 GDP release at 8:30 AM ET could set the tone for what’s next.
Bitcoin is making a bullish flag on the daily chart. It has been in the green for five straight days, trading above $107,000 again but still not overvalued per the RSI. ETF flows are strong: Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $547.7M on June 25, while Ethereum ETFs saw $60.4M in net inflows. Meanwhile, Bitcoin inflows to Binance have plummeted to just 5,700 BTC—the lowest since the last bear market—hinting at reduced selling pressure. HODLers are HODLing and whales are eating. So the stage is set for a potential move higher.
But while charts look good and GDP is the event to watch, the real story is unfolding elsewhere.
Game-Changing Events Are Unfolding!
Ok, let’s get this out of the way first: Yesterday, June 25, 2025, Patrick Witt, the White House Deputy Director of Digital Assets, spoke at the Bitcoin Policy Week in Washington, D.C. He stated that there is an "accumulation plan" for the United States to buy more Bitcoin.
But, more importantly, Bitcoin is now being considered for mortgages in the US!
The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), under Director William Pulte, has directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac—key players in the $12 trillion U.S. mortgage market—to consider crypto holdings as assets in mortgage risk assessments. This is a massive step toward mainstream crypto adoption. Borrowers will essentially be able to use crypto in their financial profiles for mortgage eligibility without converting to USD, though only assets on U.S.-regulated centralized exchanges qualify (sorry, self-custody fans). It’s about time something like this happened. It will modernize lending, expand homeownership for crypto holders, and push banks to rethink their outdated practices. With Fannie and Freddie guaranteeing half the U.S. mortgage market, this is a big deal.
Why do we care?
The US mortgage market is worth around $12T, a huge addressable market. To capture at least some portion of it (with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac entities collectively contributing around $8T) would be great for Bitcoin.
And with many people on X mentioning how the banks wouldn't count any of their crypto towards their actual net worth when they were considering getting a mortgage for their house, this changes the landscape drastically. This will make it easier for Bitcoin and crypto holders in the future to get a mortgage as those crypto assets will now count towards their net worth.
In other news, President Trump is turning up the heat on Fed Chair Jerome Powell, calling him “a very stupid person” and hinting at interviews for Powell’s replacement as his term nears its end in May 2026. Trump’s frustrated with Powell’s refusal to cut rates quickly, arguing that low inflation and tariff revenue justify immediate cuts. Powell, however, is standing firm, emphasizing the Fed’s independence and data-driven approach. He’s wary of inflation risks from Trump’s tariffs and says no rate cuts are likely before September 2025 without clearer economic signals.
Final Thoughts
Crypto is showing serious strength, and the momentum is only building. With adoption ramping up across the U.S., it’s a great time to stay confident in high-conviction positions.
Bitcoin entering the mortgage scene is just one of many markets it can infiltrate. It's all these things that the high-profile crypto peeps take into consideration when they give you some crazy evaluations of around $1 million per bitcoin. But even if that is the case, it won't happen overnight; it will take time. The biggest takeaway from this is that big moves can happen, but it doesn't mean that the price is going to skyrocket in one swoop.
Now, about those prediction markets…
💎 Degens’ Den
How To Make Money In Crypto When Nothing Is Happening!
For those looking for a way to make money no matter what the market’s doing, prediction markets are where it’s at. Platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi are stealing the spotlight, and with big-name backing, this trend is showing serious staying power.
Polymarket just raised $200 million at a valuation of over $1 billion, while Kalshi secured $185 million at a $2 billion valuation. Even after the election frenzy, Polymarket is still pulling in crazy monthly trading volume. A few months ago, some thought Polymarket might fade, but active wallets are ticking up again, proving the doubters wrong.
Here’s why this matters: prediction markets let you profit in two ways. The simple route? Place bets on platforms like Polymarket or Kalshi. You can even make money by betting “no” on events that don’t happen—one user cashed in $250,000 doing just that. Polymarket’s odds are scarily accurate, hitting the mark 91% of the time, making it a powerful tool for spotting trends.
The other way to play? Get exposure to beta plays like trading bots, oracles, and prediction protocols.
One standout is Flipr, a bot that lets you trade on Polymarket, check odds, and place bets directly on X. With a modest $3 million market cap, Flipr’s a first-mover, especially when compared to Kalshi, where no trading bot currently exists. Polymarket’s recent partnership with X is another sign they’re doing things right, especially as bets heat up around who might replace Jerome Powell as Fed Chair (just saying!).

If that weren't the case, crypto would already be dead, and no one would be left in the space. But people are still here, and there’s plenty to explore.
That’s why we’re here uncovering it all. So, hit subscribe below, and we’ll see you all tomorrow.
