Steven McClurg: The Bitcoin Top Was Oct 4th — Prepare For Another 30% Drop?
Friday, 19 December, 2025

💡As crypto, equities, and liquidity move through different cycles, it helps to understand your positioning. Get a free portfolio review with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors: https://bit.ly/4s7lLPI Steven McClurg, CEO of Canary Capital, joins CoinFund President Chris Perkins to break down what’s actually driving crypto markets beneath the headlines. He explains why crypto ETFs are gaining traction even as Bitcoin and altcoins struggle, and why futures markets, basis trades, and market structure matter more than sentiment or politics. McClurg shares a contrarian view on the four-year Bitcoin cycle, arguing that the peak may already be behind us, with miner capitulation and liquidity pressures weighing on prices. The conversation also explores why price weakness doesn’t necessarily signal slowing innovation, how stablecoins fit into the broader macro picture, and what investors should be watching as markets move into the next phase of the cycle. 💡Protect your wealth with real gold and silver through Hard Assets Alliance: https://www.hardassetsalliance.com/?aff=WTH Chapters: 1:02 - Building the Next Generation of Crypto ETFs at Canary Capital 4:42 - Crypto ETFs as a Gateway: Making Digital Assets Easy to Access 6:32 - Who’s Really Buying Crypto ETFs Right Now? 7:19 - The ETF Filter: Which Crypto Assets Make the Cut 9:12 - First-Mover Advantage: Does Being Early Still Matter? 10:13 - From Simple ETFs to Smarter Crypto Products 12:22 - The Futures Question: What Unlocks the Next ETF Wave? 16:49 - If the Setup Is Bullish, Why Is Bitcoin Stalling? 18:56 - What Changes the Trend and Reignites the Cycle 21:26 - Ethereum’s Comeback: Smart Contracts and Real Adoption 24:11 - ⭐️Wealthion Golden Nugget: Looking Ahead to 2026 - Fed Policy, Liquidity, and Tailwinds 28:57 - Stablecoins Explained: The Quiet Force Reshaping Finance 33:32 - Internet Capital Markets: On-Chain Equities and the Future of ETFs 36:38 - Spot, ETFs, and Strategies: How Crypto Investing Evolves 41:10 - The Big Crypto Predictions for 2026 Connect with us online: Website: https://www.wealthion.com X: https://www.x.com/wealthion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wealthionofficial/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/wealthion/ #Wealthion #Wealth #Finance #Investing #PortfolioReview #InvestmentAdvice #FinancialPlanning #WealthManagement #Bitcoin #Crypto #CryptoETFs #BitcoinCycle #MarketStructure #FuturesMarket #BasisTrade #Altcoins #Stablecoins #Macro #Liquidity #FinancialMarkets #DigitalAssets ________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT NOTE: The information, opinions, and insights expressed by our guests and our hosts do not necessarily reflect the views of Wealthion or the views of their respective employers.
