Blockchain Investing Strategies: Cryptocurrency Trading Guide podcast.

Hey it’s Crypto Willy here, and if you’ve been glued to your DeFi dashboards or refreshing charts on your favorite CEX, you’ve probably felt the roller coaster of crypto investing this week. Let’s get into the latest blockchain investing strategies and how some movers and shakers—like President Trump, Jerome Powell, and firms like Bernstein and Robinhood—are lighting up the whole digital assets scene.

First up: **Bitcoin.** The OG led the way, bouncing to a new all-time high of nearly $124,500 before retracing to just under $114K after traders braced for the Jackson Hole speech by Fed Chair Jerome Powell. That single speech can make or break market sentiment, so traders have been tightening their stops and moving to stablecoins, waiting for the next macro cue. Analysts from VanEck and CoinCentral say despite the whipsawing, Bitcoin’s underlying fundamentals are still strong: on-chain data shows 92% of holders in profit, institutional demand is up (with President Trump even signing off on crypto 401(k)s), and CME futures funding rates are hitting new yearly highs. VanEck’s Matthew Sigel is still eyeing $180K by year-end.

If you’re looking for clarity in the fog, the real alpha comes from focusing on macro trends. Experts have Bitcoin’s downside floor in the $110K–$116K range this month, but some, like the team at CoinCentral, are targeting $130K if long-term demand and favorable macro conditions hold firm, especially if the Fed signals dovishness in September.

But this market’s not all about Bitcoin! **Ethereum** and **Solana** are on fire too. Ethereum just notched a $4,388 price tag, and Solana’s up near $183. Bernstein analysts, including Gautam Chhugani, forecast Solana and ETH will keep gaining steam through 2027, thanks to surging on-chain activity and innovations in treasury yield strategies—think what Michael Saylor did for Bitcoin, but now with Ether and Solana in the mix. These new DeFi treasury and staking angles (especially if U.S. interest rates drop) are already causing traders to rotate into Layer 1 and Layer 2 ecosystems, chasing those juicy yields.

Let’s not forget the **up-and-comers**. According to the buzz on Telegram and the LayerBrett community, LBRETT is catching attention. Its presale is drawing investors with a whopping 20,000% APY for early stakers, limited supply, no KYC, and its positioning as a high-reward Layer 2 on Ethereum. If you’re the speculative type, jumping on early-stage tokens like this is a classic strategy, but DYOR—these projects can rocket or crash, so manage your risk!

For the “set and forget” crowd, the top 10 cryptos for August according to ZebPay include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB, XRP, and even meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. Diversification across these leaders plus exposure to rising Layer 2 or DeFi protocols might keep your portfolio ready for the next run. Just be nimble—yields and narratives can rotate fast.

Finally, Wall Street’s not backing down: Bernstein now says the bull market could run through 2027, with bitcoin targeting $150K—maybe even $200K as on-chain volumes and staking products hit mainstream. Trading platforms like Robinhood and Coinbase are poised to benefit, with Robinhood projected for a 53% EPS CAGR as adoption soars.
