The drawdowns in Bitcoin are no longer that violent in the way that it doesn't stay there for very long. How people want to position across three different categories of meta is going to mean whether they make it or they don't make it.
How are geopolitics influencing Bitcoin and financial markets?
And the three metas that I chose were one, geopolitics, two, AI, and three, culture. And all of those three in the first week of January have hit. Geopolitics, man, what a thing to wake up to one day and realize that Maduro has been captured and brought to New York overnight. There are rumors that Venezuela may actually have as much as $60 billion in Bitcoin.
It's very likely there is Bitcoin within Venezuela. The open question is, What's going on, guys?
How does the gold and jewelry market impact Bitcoin's perception?
Today, we've got a great conversation with Jeff Park. Jeff is the chief investment officer and partner at ProCap Financial. And in this conversation, we talk about 2026, what's in store for Bitcoin, how is the asset positioned, what's going on with capital flows.
What role does AI play in shaping financial markets and Bitcoin?
Morgan Stanley, the big dogs, they're now in the game. What does that mean? And then we also talk about geopolitics and artificial intelligence and the impact it's going to have on Bitcoin and financial markets. Jeff is full of insights that you're not going to hear anywhere else. I enjoy this conversation. So will you. Here's my conversation with Jeff Park. All right, Jeff, to start the year, Bitcoin, there's a lot of enthusiasm. It started to kind of tick up here over the last couple of days. How are you thinking about Bitcoin's positioning, the flow of capital? There's some tax loss selling, I think, at the end of the year.
What recent developments are there with Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin ETF?
It seems to be gone now. Just talk about Bitcoin and how you're thinking about the start to hopefully a great, prosperous 2026.
Indeed, indeed. And happy new year, Pomp. It's great to be back here and love to get after it. 2026, I think, will be a really fun year. I think it'll be great for Bitcoin. And right now, what's happened is we have a clean slate. So after December, large option expiries rolled off, a lot of futures rolled off. And so we basically have little leverage in the system. And it's a clean board for everyone to start building new positions to anticipate three months, six months, one year from now. So that's great because there's no inertia and gravity that is counteracting pre-existing positions that people might have had that season throughout 2025. And what I've been sharing with investors is that 2025 was really marked by a bunch of covered call selling activities.
So if you were coming in 2025 in January and February and you were selling calls expiring in June, September, December, because you were really excited about Bitcoin momentum post-Trump, All of those calls you had sold were in existence for the year, and they were creating different kinds of liquidity black holes, if you would. Those are all gone. So it's a clean year, which I love. And you can actually kind of see that already in the options market. can see it because right after December 31st, you saw the call skew finally steepen after basically three months of having shown no activity.
