🧠 Crypto News at a Glance
1️⃣ Bitcoin eyes $120K as investor optimism grows 👀
Bitcoin is flirting with $106,000 this month, and there's a growing buzz that it could reach $ 120,000 before long. After breaking the big $100K milestone, fresh energy has entered the market—bringing in new participants and bolstering confidence among long-time holders.
Is this the beginning of a new bull cycle—or just another short-term surge?
What would a $120K Bitcoin mean for your strategy right now? For myself, I’m considering selling a portion of my BTC later this year and then deploying a BTC trading plan that utilizes the weekly chart, 21- and 50-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA), support and resistance lines, along with volume. Stay tuned for more on this strategy.

2️⃣ Ethereum gets a boost from ETF inflows and upgrades💡
Ethereum’s had a good month, too. Thanks to strong interest in ETH ETFs and recent network upgrades, it’s now riding an optimistic wave. Analysts expect ETH to rise as high as $3,132 in June—although if key support levels are not held, a drop to $2,597 is also on the table.
Are your ETH holdings balanced for both risk and reward? Could this be a good time to review your altcoin allocations? I’ve personally been scaling back my altcoin positions to just a couple of my top narratives—namely, new payment rails and RWAs.

3️⃣ Congress pushes forward on crypto legislation 🏛️
Big moves in Washington: the STABLE Act and the GENIUS Act are gaining traction, while the new CLARITY Act could finally offer clearer rules for the crypto market. Even more surprising? President Trump signed an executive order this month to fast-track U.S. leadership in digital assets, emphasizing transparency and alignment with consumer protections.
A well-regulated crypto market might sound boring—but it could be precisely what we need for long-term growth. How might these policies shape your confidence in holding stablecoins or exploring DeFi? This is one of the reasons I’m watching Ripple and the new payment systems being installed around the world, based on Basel III and ISO 20022 standards.

4️⃣ Altseason on the horizon as bitcoin dominance dips 🔄
We could be entering altseason—that exciting phase where altcoins start to outperform Bitcoin. With Bitcoin dominance slipping and altcoin volumes rising, the signs are definitely there. Historically, altseason follows right after strong BTC rallies, and with rate cuts expected and regulation improving, the timing feels right later this year.
Have you been watching your favorite altcoins for entry points? Or are you playing it safe and riding the Bitcoin wave a bit longer? I’ve been buying tokens on the dips in my two favorite narratives mentioned earlier.
The BTC.D chart indicates that Bitcoin's dominance declined in May and is currently at resistance on the trendline. I’m watching to see if BTC.D will continue to drop—getting us excited about altseason!

📚 Education Corner 📚
🔐 Crypto security isn’t optional—it’s essential
Think of your crypto like a digital treasure chest. Now, imagine leaving that chest wide open on a park bench. 😬 That’s what it’s like to manage your crypto without basic security tools in place.
This month in the Let’s Crypto! MasterMind, we’re diving into Crypto Security: Tools and Techniques to Keep You Safe. Whether you're just getting started or already have a growing portfolio, this is one lesson you don’t want to skip.
Let’s walk through a few of the must-haves:
💰Select a reputable centralized exchange - To get started in crypto, first, you have to convert some of those US dollars that are sitting around doing nothing 🤣into a stablecoin or your fav crypto token. Stick with the most well-known companies, such as Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance.
🧠 Use a dedicated browser and email address - It’s easy to forget how many tabs and trackers live in a typical browser. That’s why I recommend using a browser like Brave—it’s privacy-focused, fast, and keeps distractions out. Pair that with a separate email address used only for crypto, and you’ve just built a digital moat around your assets.
🔐 Get a hardware wallet (and actually use it) - Your crypto wallet is like your front door. A software wallet (like Exodus) is the sturdy lock. But a hardware wallet—like Ledger or Trezor—is the deadbolt. Even better, it keeps your private keys offline, away from hackers and phishing scams.
🛰️ Use a VPN to shield your online activity - Every time you check your wallet or log into an exchange on public Wi-Fi, you're waving at potential snoopers. A VPN, like NordVPN, works like a privacy cloak—hiding your IP address and encrypting your connection so you’re browsing under the radar.
🔑 Strong passwords and 2FA are non-negotiableI - I know, I know—password fatigue is real. But a password manager like RoboForm makes it easy to create and store long, unique passwords for every crypto-related site. And please, if you haven’t already, turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) using Google Authenticator. It’s an extra step, but it's also an extra lock on your vault.
Want the full checklist? We go deeper into all of this—with practical guides, setup walkthroughs, and real-world examples—in this month’s MasterMind training.
