This past week was a big one for your Weiss Crypto team.
We kicked things off with the Weiss Investment Summit in Boca Raton, FL, where Juan Villaverde, Marija Matić and Mark Gough spoke with roughly 300 Weiss Members about the current crypto market … and where they see the biggest growth in the future.
Then, Marija and Juan ventured further south to walk the floor of Consensus Miami 2026.
Built on CoinDesk's foundation of independent journalism, Consensus has a decade-long legacy as the most influential gathering across digital finance, blockchain, and AI.
This year’s event featured speakers such as Eric Trump, Michael Saylor, White House Advisor Patrick Witt, Senator Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY), Kevin O’Leary and many other voices dominating crypto conversations right now.
Day 3 even brought a surprise appearance by Binance founder CZ Zhao!
And your experts were right in the middle of the action.
They spoke with analysts, developers and founders to get the inside scoop on where the best minds in crypto see the market going …
The headwinds that could slow progress …
And the opportunities that are on the horizon.
We’ve already begun to share some of their insights. I wrote to you yesterday about how Consensus Speakers See CLARITY This Summer.
While Pattrick Witt and Sen. Gillibrand had slightly different timelines for when they expect to see the CLARITY Act passed, both are confident we’ll see the sweeping regulations signed into law over the summer.
And I told you the fortuitous coincidence Juan’s Crypto Timing Model has identified with both their projections.
Something Juan confirmed himself in his market update on Friday.
Bitcoin’s Rally May Be Running Out … For Now
But the model already sees our next buying opportunity.
That’s why Juan lays out what investors can expect over the coming months and how they can prepare to jump back into the fray.
Keep an eye out for even more updates from Consensus over the coming weeks. And in the meantime, check out the latest from your experts …
The 2026 World Cup Could Usher in the Next Crypto Frenzy
It’s not surprising that big events move the markets. Even though crypto as a whole may have begun to move away from hype-driven narratives, this summer’s upcoming World Cup could create a resurgence of retail frenzy.
Especially since there’s a history of this very event doing just that.
And with a more welcoming regulatory environment, and old project could catch a new wind higher on the hype.
These DeFi Platforms Are Actually Making Money
Hype is good for quick gains. But the market as a whole is moving away from speculation. The projects that’ll rise to lead the market are the ones earning real revenue and have the strength to stand the test of time.
That’s why DeFi expert Marija Matić put the data on display this week. She put old favorites against new disruptors built around real revenue to show you where your portfolio could find the best value.
What Tokenomics Can Reveal About Your Favorite Crypto
Ultimately, what separates strong coins from those that fade after a single cycle are the tokenomics. That is, the economic structure of a cryptocurrency.
Understanding a coin’s tokenomics is the same as auditing a company — it’ll reveal the hidden strengths and weaknesses, as well as pitfalls unique to crypto that could come back to haunt unwitting investors.
That’s why this week, I broke down tokenomics into three simple questions investors need to answer when adding a coin to their portfolio. Along with examples of projects that do it right … and ones to avoid.
But that’s all for this week. Be sure to keep an eye out for those Consensus insights in your future Weiss Crypto Daily updates.
Best,
