Crypto Masterminds Add a New Hotlist Token and Discuss the Shifting Crypto Tax Landscape
A $1 billion liquidation flush, a hotter-than-expected inflation print, and a tax proposal out of France set the tone for this week's Crypto Masterminds.
With Bitcoin pulling back to $81,000 and its monthly correction structure still unresolved, the team worked through the question driving every allocation decision right now: does the next major move resolve as a rally back toward six figures, or as the final leg down?
From there, the session turned to the token list. Plasma (XPL), the stablecoin settlement network backed by the founders of Tether, earned a fresh look after a heavy token unlock dragged it to eight cents. Data Network, the rebranded Story Protocol, is preparing to retire its own chain and migrate to Sui with a reported $30 million commitment behind it. And Fluid, a DeFi veteran with measurable revenue and a token buyback mechanism, got a harder interrogation than its recent chart might suggest.
Also covered: what France's proposed swap tax signals about the digital euro, and a free suite of financial calculators the team just released.
