When is this all going to reverse?  That’s the question we asked Benjamin Cowen, YouTuber, Founder of Into The CryptoVerse and famous chart maximalist who does some fantastic technical analysis. The main goal of this pod is to understand if we're currently going through Ethereum’s bottom but we also cover: - Are crypto 4 year cycles dead? - What’s next for ETH/BTC? - How’s Ben positioning his portfolio for what’s coming? Except to learn that and much more. ------ 🌊 KELP | DEPOSIT ETH WITH GAIN TODAY https://kelpdao.xyz/gain/?utm_source=Bankless  ------ 📣 INTO THE CRYPTOVERSE | GET 10% OFF https://intothecryptoverse.com/ref/bankless/  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2    ⁠  ⚡️ CARTESI | LINUX-POWERED ROLLUPS https://bankless.cc/CartesiGovernance  🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT  https://bankless.cc/toku   🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle  🦄UNISWAP | BROWSER EXTENSION https://bankless.cc/uniswap    ------ ✨ Mint the episode on Zora ✨ https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x0c294913a7596b427add7dcbd6d7bbfc7338d53f/60?referrer=0x077Fe9e96Aa9b20Bd36F1C6290f54F8717C5674E  ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 5:33 Where Are We? 7:44 4 Year Cycles 22:52 ETH/BTC Ratio 29:28 ETH Price Analysis 37:55 Blue Chips vs Altcoins 55:32 ETH/BTC Final Equilibrium 1:01:11 Idiosyncratic Events 1:13:34 The Flippening  1:16:23 The Bull Market 1:20:58 2026 1:25:00 Presidential Election 1:27:30 Ben’s Portfolio 1:32:08 Closing Thoughts ------ RESOURCES Ben Cowen https://x.com/intocryptoverse   Ben Cowen on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRvqjQPSeaWn-uEx-w0XOIg   ------ Not financial or tax advice.

This week in crypto, Trump’s new DeFi project sparked debate—is it legit or a grift? After the SEC, the CFTC targeted Uniswap—what’s going on with regulators? Brazil’s Twitter ban also made waves—what does it mean for free speech and crypto’s role in resisting censorship? Markets are asking if the 4-year cycle is dead, and Ryan has three takes on the lackluster crypto prices and what it could mean moving forward. On the bright side, Polymarket is now on the Bloomberg terminal, and Coinbase is looking to bank the robots—an exciting step for AI and crypto. ------ 📣 SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24  https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium  ------ 🌊 KELP | Deposit ETH with Gain today https://kelpdao.xyz/gain/?utm_source=Bankless  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2    ⁠  🦄UNISWAP | BROWSER EXTENSION https://bankless.cc/uniswap  ⚡️ CARTESI | LINUX-POWERED ROLLUPS https://bankless.cc/CartesiGovernance  🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle    🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT  https://bankless.cc/toku   ------ ✨ Mint the episode on Zora ✨ ⁠https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x0c294913a7596b427add7dcbd6d7bbfc7338d53f/58?referrer=0x077Fe9e96Aa9b20Bd36F1C6290f54F8717C5674E⁠ ------ TIMESTAMPS & RESOURCES 0:00 Intro 2:03 Markets https://x.com/Negentropic_/status/1830685688662040961  https://outlierventures.io/article/token-trendlines-2-bitcoin-halving-the-four-year-cycle-is-dead/  https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1831316995691671641  https://x.com/Fiskantes/status/1831302629651042637  https://x.com/SplitCapital/status/1831317921089642915   https://x.com/iamDCinvestor/status/1831318267367145492  18:30 Trump revealed more about his DeFi project, World Liberty Financial!  https://www.worldlibertyfinancial.com/ https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1829141447087648796   https://x.com/lex_node/status/1831084542377206220  https://x.com/lex_node/status/1831105068952961399  https://x.com/nic__carter/status/1831145983847137451  https://x.com/worldlibertyfi/status/1831348462635397271  https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1829500453152837828  32:07 Brazil banned Twitter https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1829778143449698764  https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1831015509384364428  37:17 Binance exec Tigran Gambaryan entered Nigeria court on crutches https://x.com/_RichardTeng/status/1830869029705441553  41:47 Arbitrum released Stylus!  https://x.com/arbitrum/status/1831020553211089243  https://x.com/joeykrug/status/1831367181885698392  43:30 Euler V2 is back!  https://x.com/eulerfinance/status/1831331399619756375  48:03 Celestia releases technical roadmap https://blog.celestia.org/roadmap/  48:39 Bloomberg added Polymarket election data to Terminal https://x.com/M_McDonough/status/1829166689516442043  https://x.com/shayne_coplan/status/1830984489259901203  50:13 CFTC charges Uniswap with illegal derivatives trading https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/8961-24  https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/SpeechesTestimony/phamstatement090424  https://x.com/MinarikLaw/status/1831363800542634459  53:11 AIs are now paying other AIs with crypto https://x.com/brian_armstrong/status/1829623778726592804  56:32 MEME of the Week https://x.com/TrustlessState/status/1831386476841726226   59:03 Closing & Disclaimers ------ Not financial or tax advice.
