August 14: Bitcoin Slips Below $63K as Liquidity Dries Up

Author: Matt Diemer August 14, 2026 Duration: 9:53

Bitcoin slipped below $63,000 as weak liquidity and cautious sentiment continue weighing on the market. Matt covers MSCI considering rules that could exclude Bitcoin treasury companies like Strategy and Metaplanet from major indexes, Gemini’s continued struggles after disappointing earnings, and Crypto.com expanding into tokenized equities with exposure to roughly 1,500 U.S. stocks and funds. 


The episode also looks at the SEC canceling its scheduled crypto rulemaking meeting, the CFTC moving forward on crypto, AI, and prediction markets while the CLARITY Act remains stalled, and JPMorgan reportedly debanking Polymarket. Matt also discusses whether DeFi is becoming more accurately described as on-chain finance and why World Liberty Financial’s crypto ventures continue complicating the ethics debate surrounding U.S. crypto legislation. 


Happy HODLing.
