The Liquidity Break: Bitcoin’s Drop, BRICS De-Dollarization, and the New Corporate Bank Stack

Front Run The Week — Free Signals Get early signals before they hit headlines. Subscribe free — or upgrade for member rewards — at https://tokentrust.substack.com [https://tokentrust.substack.com/] Bitcoin didn’t fall 25% because of politics — it fell because U.S. dollar liquidity snapped. And at the same time BRICS nations are fully ditching the dollar for settlement, Citadel is quietly helping Ripple build a modern banking stack. In this episode, Chip breaks down the real story behind the Bitcoin dip, why de-dollarization is accelerating at the exact moment TradFi is laying fresh settlement rails, and why assets like XRP are starting to function less like trades and more like transfers in a new global system. You’ll also hear how ISO-20022, bank-charter applications, Digital Asset Treasuries, and the “cement isn’t dry” theory all converge into one thing: the future economy is being rewired under our feet — and retail still thinks it’s about vibes.

Black Friday Capital: The Doorbusters Are ETFs

This week on The Chip Mahoney Show, we’re not talking about TVs or toasters — we’re talking about ETFs. With the U.S. government set to reopen and markets gearing up for a Q4 liquidity wave, a new kind of Black Friday is here — one where capital itself goes on sale. From Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF filings to the quiet rails being built under ISO 20022, we’re entering a season where the smartest money doesn’t chase discounts — it creates them. Chip Mahoney breaks down why the timing of these ETF filings isn’t random, how institutions are positioning for year-end flow, and what it all means for the rest of us trying to front-run the week. He also reveals which narratives are re-emerging inside Signals, and why this might be the strongest December setup in years — if you know where to look.

Sunk-Cost Maxxing: The Social Disease Killing Crypto

Front Run The Week — Free Signals Get early signals before they hit headlines. Subscribe free — or upgrade for member rewards — at https://tokentrust.substack.com [https://tokentrust.substack.com/] Every 18 months, crypto crowns a new narrative — DeFi, GameFi, AI-Fi, RWA — and then pivots away before anything real is finished. It’s what Rosie Sargsian calls “sunk-cost maxxing.” Instead of finishing what they start, Web3 builders chase the next hype cycle like college quarterbacks chasing NIL money and transfer portals. We’ve built a culture that loves the recruiting process but not the program. The wedding but not the marriage. And while everyone else is switching jerseys, Ripple stayed put — quietly executing a decade-long plan that’s now peaking with ISO 20022 going live this month. They didn’t pivot. They planned. From Ripple Prime (Hidden Road) to Rail and G Treasury, they’ve been building the rails others will soon be forced to run on. This episode breaks down the cultural sickness behind constant pivoting — and why the real builders, like Ripple, prove that Vaultseason isn’t for tourists.

From FTX to Free Throws: The House Still Owns the Court

Front Run The Week — Free Signals Get early signals before they hit headlines. Subscribe free — or upgrade for member rewards — at https://tokentrust.substack.com [https://tokentrust.substack.com] Now that the NBA gambling scandal has come to light, I’m thinking less about the bets and more about the setup. The rim’s still ten feet high — even when players like Victor Wembanyama could use it as a footstool. It’s not about cheating; it’s about advantage. Same thing in crypto. The giants — the exchanges, the funds, the insiders — are playing above the rim. The rest of us are trying to touch net while pretending it’s a fair game. This week on The Chip Mahoney Show, I’m connecting the dots between the NBA’s gambling mess, FTX’s arena deal, and the way markets keep pretending the floor and ceiling are the same height. Because the truth is simple: the rim never moved — the players just got taller. Signals — 7-Day Free Trial Get early market signals, macro indicators, and the projects I’m tracking before they trend.
