In today’s live show from Eagle Pass, I welcome back our resident “crypto psychic,” Marisa Lee, for a fast-moving update on the digital asset space. We dig into Algorand’s momentum—including its new metaverse initiative “Algo Land,” leadership shifts with CTO Nick Bagulis, and why ALGO could be poised for a strong run. We also cover the market impact of the government shutdown talk (why it buoyed crypto), timelines for upcoming bull runs, and Marisa’s bold outlook for 2025–2026 across top layer-1s. From decentralized lending’s rise (Moonwell, Morpho) to stablecoin rails like Plasma (XPL), we get practical on where retail investors might look next and why banks may be forced to adapt. We close with price targets Marisa is watching for XRP, Algorand, and Solana—and a candid chat about navigating personal finance stress while staying focused on long-term crypto conviction. Resources and mentions (non-sponsored): Algorand (ALGO) and “Algo Land” metaverse; new CTO Nick Bagulis. Decentralized lending projects: Moonwell (WELL), Morpho (MORPHO). Stablecoin-focused L1: Plasma (XPL). Layer-1 leaders to watch: Solana (SOL), Internet Computer (ICP), XRP. Marissa Lee: sacredtarotcardreadings.com and patreon.com/cryptopsychic.
