On Friday, I told you how Wall Street Kept Investors Out the SpaceX IPO … even as crypto exchanges boasted that they were guaranteed a certain number of tokenized shares from the get-go.
Like with IPOs past, Wall Street got the real supply first. Retail came second. Even those with on-chain exposure.
But the point of that update isn’t to say tokenization is a failure. It’s the opposite.
Despite the bumpy start, Binance’s tokenized offerings averaged about $143 million in daily volume and crossed $1 billion in turnover in just its first nine days. Which overlapped with the SpaceX IPO.
The broad sector has grown an incredible 147% in just the past six months.
Put simply, tokenization isn’t going anywhere. People want to trade their stocks with the same access and flexibility that they do their Bitcoin (BTC, “B+”). And institutions are beginning to notice.
It just may not be the solution many hoped for to get first-in-line access to IPO shares.
For that, we’ll need a different strategy. Because buying at the IPO means you’re still late to the party.
The real money is made by those who invest before a company goes public. Alpha Round investors have made as much as 552,322% returns.
That’s enough to grow a $10,000 investment into $55 million.
Not every private equity opportunity yields those results. But our private investment specialist Chris Graebe has seen Weiss Ratings members through three fundraising rounds that have led to IPOs in just the past year …
- He found Conexeu Sciences (CNXU) as a private company when it was raising for just $2 a share. Those who invested alongside Chris saw an immediate 6x return when it listed on the Nasdaq at $13.50 a share in May.
- Eagle Energy Metals (NUCL), which had its IPO on Feb. 26, gave those who invested early a rapid 4X return on their money.
- And members who got into Starfighters (FJET) back in 2024 could have seen 777% returns after its IPO in December 2025!
Now, Chris has found a new private equity opportunity. One with all the makings of another major winner. And it is actively working toward a public exit.
He goes into detail about the world of private equity investing and this new opportunity in this 5-minute video if you want to learn more.
But do hurry. This opportunity won’t be open for long, and this briefing will be taken offline tonight.
In the meantime, be sure to check out the rest of your crypto updates from this week …
China's Chip Industry Gets a Boost from U.S. Trade Limits
Ignoring the geopolitical climate just isn’t something investors can do. Because that environment directly impacts your holdings. Take the U.S.-China relationship, for example. Washington has begun to crack down on what U.S. tech can enter China, and that’s causing a stir in the semiconductor chip supply chain.
Semiconductors are the heart of every piece of modern tech, including AI. Which is why tech expert Jurica Dujmovic highlights where the tension is and how it could impact your tech investments. Then, he reveals one speculative way you can play this shift.
Bitcoin Wallet Security: The Big Lesson from the Coldcard Hack
With crypto, protecting your upside starts with protecting your keys. But dumping your Bitcoin balance in a hardware wallet and calling it a day isn’t enough. With self-custody comes all the responsibility of being your own bank.
In his update, altcoin expert Mark Gough shows you how a hardware wallet is merely just the first step in responsible crypto ownership. And he walks you through additional steps you can take to keep your crypto safe.
Robinhood Teamed Up with Hyperliquid's Biggest Rival. Here's Why It Matters
Every so often, a company everyone knows quietly bolts on technology almost nobody has heard of. The users never see it. The plumbing just works.
Last month, tens of millions of Robinhood customers got exactly that when the broker added on-chain perpetual futures to its wallet, run by a crypto exchange most of its users will never name.
But the interesting part for investors should be on the exchange that won the slot — a small project called Lighter (LIT, “E+”). Because it could become a name to reckon with in the same sector where Hyperliquid (HYPE, “D”) currently dominates.
Bitcoin Is Stuck. Here's What Could Send It Higher
Bitcoin has been stuck in a sideways trading range for the past month. That tug-of-war is also playing out on a macro scale.
On one side, the structural floor is being propped up by crypto natives and institutional demand via ETFs. On the other, any real upside breakout is still being suffocated.
Which means Bitcoin is playing out its cycles perfectly. DeFi expert Marija Matić explains what that means in her weekly update. And she lays out how savvy investors can make the most of this moment … before the next bull rally runs off without them.
But that’s all for this week. Be sure to check for your next Weiss Crypto Daily update tomorrow afternoon.
