I have been saying here in my office, great markets, great bubbles end with something symbolic. You got to keep dancing when the music's playing and be very quick to get out. Like, you know, if you want to short things now, you don't short them, you actually buy puts. It will get to the back end, oil will get to the 60s.
Okay, so I mean that gives our friend Kevin Warsh some amplitude, right? To cut rates. The moment that happens, Europe's only raising 25. Warsh is starting to change his tune and by the end of the year he's cutting rates, right? Not just fighting off people who want to hike. And so that could be the last juice that this market needs to have it rip your face off.
The market is euphoric again. Tech stocks are ripping higher. Artificial intelligence has become the center of the global investment narrative. And Wall Street is once again starting to believe that this time is different. But according to billionaire investor and Galaxy Digital founder Mike Novogratz, that kind of thinking is exactly what creates the biggest bubbles in history. For years, investors warned about the dominance of the so-called Magnificent 7. Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla already pushed technology stocks inside the S&P 500 to historic extremes. But now, Wall Street is preparing for something even bigger. The anticipated mega IPOs of SpaceX, OpenAI, and potentially Anthropic could push technology stocks toward nearly half of the entire S&P 500. That is bubble territory by almost every historical standard. And here's the part that should really get crypto investors paying attention. Many experts do not believe this signals the end of the rally. They believe it could be the beginning. Novogratz argues that great bubbles do not quietly fade away. They end with something symbolic, something so massive, so futuristic, and so emotionally compelling that it pulls in the final wave of investors before reality eventually catches up. In the late 1990s, it was AOL merging with Time Warner. During the Asian financial miracle, it was the Hong Kong handover celebrations. And now, Novogratz believes the symbolic peak of this era could be the IPOs of SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic. Trillion-dollar base companies promising humanity a future of Mars colonies, orbital data centers, and recursive artificial intelligence. And in today's video, we're breaking down Mike Novogratz's full warning about the market bubble forming right now. Why the IPO frenzy surrounding SpaceX and AI companies could fuel years more upside before the collapse eventually comes. Why he believes investors should stay positioned while quietly buying protection. And most importantly, what all of this means for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the future of crypto markets heading into the second half of 2026. Because if Novogratz is right, we may be entering the most dangerous and potentially most profitable phase of the entire cycle. So, make sure to stick around until the very end of this video.

I have been saying here in my office, great markets, great bubbles end with something symbolic. The NASDAQ bubble ended with the merger of AOL and Time Warner. The '97 Asia miracle ended with the Hong Kong handover and all those fireworks. What could be symbolic is the IPO of SpaceX or the three of them together. It's 4 trillion of market cap. It'll be 125 billion of new money needed to fund those IPOs or more, 150 billion. That's just a huge amount of supply coming on the market. And so if we look back and SpaceX was the high, it won't surprise anybody with hindsight, right? That's how markets end. Something symbolic. And it's a pretty symbolic largest IPO of all time. And it's not just large. It's the guy who's a trillionaire who's seeing into the stars and saying, 'I'm going to do data centers in the stars. We're going to Mars. We're going to have colonies on the moon.' Like, we really are going into the future in Elon's story. And that's what inspires investors. And at one point, everyone's in and there's no one else to buy. And so that's how the market very well could end. And I have been positioning, you know, you got to keep dancing when the music's playing and be very quick to get out. Like, you know, if you want to short things now, you don't short them. You actually buy puts. Like when I think about how you approach a market that you think might be in a bubble, the number one trader in the freaking planet right now is King Leopold. You know, he was a young guy that left Anthropic and started a hedge fund and he has been hot as a pistol. And he publishes, you know, every quarter what he's long, short, and just recently he spent a fortune on puts. I think he has got like four or five billion dollars of notional puts. That's what you're supposed to do. Not sell and get short a market that could rip your face off. But if you want to play for the reversal, if you think the SpaceX thing is the end, buy a bunch of puts and buy them out long enough that you've got some staying power in them. It's expensive, but it's a lot less expensive than selling Nvidia at 5 trillion and watching it go to 10 trillion. Could Nvidia go to 10 trillion? Of course it could. That's what bubbles do. They get expensive. You know, this is what we always say in our world. The market climbs a wall of worry. We're worried about these different things, but you know, the bull case is you get a deal, oil goes back down into the 80s. I mean, it was trading in the high 50s, mid 60s, but even down to the oil will get to the back end. Oil will get to the 60s.
Okay. So, I mean, that gives our friend Kevin Warsh some amplitude, right? To cut rates. The moment that happens, Europe's only raising 25. Warsh is starting to change his tune and by the end of the year he's cutting rates, right? Not just fighting off people who want to hike. And so that could be the last juice that this market needs to have it rip your face off. You know, it's again, I wish I had a better crystal ball. I try to create ballets like potential stories and then see how the details fill into which of those stories. And the key is at this stage of a market, you've got to be able to act quickly and you have some protection, you know, some insurance. And that insurance is not going to bail you out, but it's going to give you courage when it starts working to say, 'Hey, that thesis is happening. The world might have changed. Therefore, let me actually let go of the stuff that I've been holding on so desperately to.' Because the way you get rich is to ride trends. And it's really hard to ride trends. We used to call it the pain of the game. You have to handcuff yourself to the chair so you don't sell the thing that's going up every day.
