·55 min·3 clips

"It is extremely dangerous to try to trade this war."

1. FOMO HOUR: A Daily Crypto & Web3 News Show episode 66 focuses on trading the Iran war, crypto resilience, and hype-driven markets. 2. Tyler D hosts with Deez and Peter Jennings, and Peter’s prediction-markets background matters because he frames the policy and trading risks. 3. The episode asks whether crypto still has the best-looking setup while gold, stocks, and stablecoins are all under pressure. 4. Tyler opens with March 24, 2026 market moves, including Bitcoin near 69.9K, ETH at 2,136, and oil near 92. 5. Peter argues that the Iran war is in the “fog of war,” making conviction trades on headlines and Trump statements unreliable. 6. The hosts say American troops were deployed, then note a Trump announcement that strikes would be postponed for five days. 7. Tyler and Peter connect the war to higher inflation expectations, with the 10-year yield in the high 4.3% to 4.4% range. 8. Peter says he raised cash ahead of the Iran war and has been sitting on the sidelines while earning roughly 4% to 5% on part of his portfolio. 9. Deez says he bought ZRO under $2, describing it as a small position made after seeing the chart on a Sunday. 10. The hosts discuss Hyperliquid’s HIP3 markets, saying oil, silver, Brent oil, the S&P, and gold now rank among the top volume leaders. 11. Peter says real-world assets on Hyperliquid feel like one of the most exciting developments in crypto because institutional capital can hedge on 24/7 rails. 12. Tyler and Deez push back on whether trench traders are really rotating into oil and gold, or whether the new markets are mostly attracting different capital. 13. Peter says gold’s selloff reflects higher rates, a liquidity shock, and investors needing cash even though the long-term chart remains up and to the right. 14. Bitcoin’s relative strength is presented as notable because the rest of the market is red while BTC holds around 70K after trading as high as 76K. 15. Tyler says Michael Saylor’s new $44 billion ATM plan could become the next leg of Bitcoin demand once Stretch reaches its activation threshold. 16. The hosts discuss Bernstein’s 2026 Bitcoin target of $150,000 and the idea that reflexive strength can attract more buying. 17. Circle’s stock drop is linked to a draft Clarity Act change that narrows stablecoin yield and rewards, plus possible KYC and AML requirements for DeFi. 18. Peter and Deez say the Clarity Act still has positives, but the yield language and procedural uncertainty make the bill harder to trade. 19. The tone is conversational and market-driven, with live chart-reading, back-and-forth debate, and occasional jokes about bags and price action. 20. Listeners who follow crypto macro, prediction markets, or policy fights around stablecoins will get the most value, while people avoiding market structure and regulation talk may skip it.
