On February 19, 2021, some-thing historic happened in the crypto markets…

Bitcoin − the controversial “blue chip” cryptocurrency that’s risen more than 200

times in value since 2015 − surpassed $1 trillion in market value.

It did so in just 12 years.

By comparison, Google’s parent company, Alpha-bet, took 21 years to hit the $1 trillion mark…

It took Amazon 24 years to cross the trillion-dol-lar threshold.

And Apple and Microsoft took 44 and 42 years, respectively, to hit the same milestone.

I don’t want to break my arm patting myself on the back… But as far back as 2016, I told anyone who was willing to listen that bitcoin would soar well past $1 trillion to $1.2… and even $1.5 trillion…

Everything I predicted in 2016, 2017, and in the depths of crypto winter in 2018… It’s all come true.

I said we’d see $40,000 bitcoin… and then $60,000 bitcoin sooner than most people realized.

I said the institutions would try to scare retail investors out of the crypto market as they flooded in. While individual investors were selling bitcoin at the bottom, they were scooping it up at fire-sale prices. I called it the “Great Crypto Conspiracy.”

And again, that’s exactly what happened. The

same institutions that once jawboned bitcoin low-er are now on the bitcoin bandwagon.

• JPMorgan once said you’d be “stupid” to buy bitcoin. But now that it’s figured out how to make money from it? It’s telling you to buy bitcoin.

• Morgan Stanley said the “true price” of bitcoin was zero. Now? It became the first major bank to offer it directly to wealthy clients.

• Then there’s Citigroup. It said bitcoin was a “complete failure.” Now it’s predicting bitcoin could reach $318,000 this year.

Here’s why I’m telling you this…

I believe bitcoin is a world-class asset with plenty of upside left. But the opportunity to make life-chang-ing gains in bitcoin is gone. The institutional capital is here... and bitcoin has reached escape velocity.

If you didn’t get involved in bitcoin when I first brought it to you… you no longer have the opportunity to turn tiny grubstakes into life-changing gains.

Buying a whole bitcoin is mainly for the big boys now. For them, a 10−20x gain is a huge move. And over time, I think we’ll see bitcoin do that.

For instance, the value of the entire global gold market is $9.6 trillion. I believe bitcoin will sur-pass gold as the world’s main store of value.

If bitcoin reaches the size of the global gold mar-ket… we could easily see it go up 10x from today’s values.

But a 10−20x gain over a few years for the little guy… It’s not going to cut it. To really move that needle on your wealth, you have to get into a crypto “early.”

• You would’ve had to get in on bitcoin when it was at $428. If you got in when I first recom-mended it, you’d be up 134x.

• You would’ve had to get in on Binance Coin (BNB) at $1.88. If you got in when I first rec-ommended it, you’d be up 290x.

• And you would’ve had to get in on Neo (NEO) at 13 cents. If you got in when I first recom-mended it, you’d be up 306x.

That’s enough to turn $1,000 into $134,000, $290,000, and $306,000, respectively.

And that’s why I put together this special report. I believe you’re about to have a second shot at the kind of gains Wall Street took from you during bitcoin’s epic run to $1 trillion.

It involves what I call “Crypto’s Next Trillion-Dol-lar Coin.”

Crypto’s Next Trillion-Dollar Coin

By now, you know the coin I’m talking about is Ethereum (ETH). It’s the second-largest crypto in the world by market cap at $480 billion.

My research points that Ethereum is going to be crypto’s next $1 trillion coin... And several key coins attached to the Ethereum ecosystem, I believe, can go up 24 times or even 196 times, or more, in value. (More on that below.)

In my opinion, Ethereum is the most import-ant operating system the world has ever seen. It’s more important than Microsoft’s operating system... than Apple’s operating system... than Facebook’s network... And even more important than Google’s network.

Why do I believe that?

Because the next stage of software development will happen on the blockchain. And Ethereum is the world’s most widely used blockchain devel-opment platform… The way Microsoft was the world’s most popular development platform in the 1990s… And the way the Android and iOS operating systems are the most popular develop-ment platforms today for mobile apps.

The next boom in application development will take place on the blockchain − not the traditional internet − and the network that will dominate that future is Ethereum. At the time of this writ-ing, Ethereum hosts over 3,000 applications – the most of any other blockchain.

And nearly 2,300 active developers are currently working on the Ethereum network. The closest competitor, bitcoin, has just under 400. This abundance of developers and apps on Ethereum has created a network effect that attracts more projects to Ethereum.

Any blockchain app can plug into Ethereum for liquidity… lending and borrowing… insurance… and much more. Ethereum is like a vacuum suck-ing up more and more projects into its ecosystem.

It’s similar to how Apple created a multibil-lion-dollar ecosystem with its Apple Store. There are now over 4 million apps in the Apple App Store, up from just 94,216 apps when it first launched in 2008.

And how did Apple’s App Store get to be so suc-cessful? It created an ecosystem that gave devel-opers a one-stop shop for distribution, search, and validation services. It also provided them a set of tools to build and monetize apps.

Plus, it gave users an easy way to improve the functionality of their phones. It was also versatile and easy to use since the apps were available on all Apple devices. The App Store has been a boon to developers and Apple’s bottom line as well.

In 2020 alone, Apple customers spent an estimat-

ed $72.3 billion on in-app purchas-es, subscriptions, and premium apps in the Apple App Store. That’s about 28% of the company’s over-all $260 billion revenue – a huge chunk of business.

2021 has been even more impres-sive. Apple’s App store has recorded $63 billion in sales through the first three quarters in 2021, which is an 18.8% jump from the $53 billion earned through the first 3 quarters of 2020. If we base our expectations for the entire year on these year-to-date figures, we can expect App Store revenue for 2021 to handily exceed $72.3 billion.

Now, imagine if you could’ve owned Apple before it launched the App Store? The profit potential of getting in early would’ve been enormous.

That’s because as usage and adop-tion grow… prices can skyrocket as a result.

We’ve already seen this in action with some of the biggest companies today. Take Amazon, for in-stance. As more and more people started to sign up for its premium membership, Amazon Prime, its share price climbed from around $300 in 2014 to a recent high of over $3,700. That’s a 10x gain in just a few years.

You can see this in the first chart to the right.

The same thing happened with Google.

Over the last decade, as more of the world went online and discovered Google, its search volume exploded from around 2 million searches a day to over 25 million.

And look at what it’s done to its share price (see the second chart to the right).

Google was trading for as low as $140 in 2008. Google hit over $2,700 a share this year.

That’s an incredible 1,827% gain.

The bottom line is, more usage equals more prof-its. As Ethereum becomes the App Store of the crypto ecosystem, its usage will climb exponen-tially, just as the companies above did.

Already, some of the top firms in the world are using Ethereum for their own purposes.

• Amazon is using it to help its merchants more efficiently track customer activity.

• Microsoft is using it to protect its $23 billion software empire from piracy.

• FedEx is investing in it to track the thousands

of packages that pass through warehouses, airplanes, and shipping trucks worldwide.

And that’s just the beginning. There are at least 24 companies worth $1 billion or more using Ethereum in some way.

Now, here’s where the altcoins come in...

People build decentralized applications (called dApps) that run on the Ethereum blockchain. These dApps are the crypto equivalent of apps you’ll find on Apple’s App Store or Google’s Play Store, and anyone can create them. Just like regu-lar apps, dApps include everything from banking to gaming apps.

Altcoins are all tokens other than bitcoin. And right now, many are building dApps on Ethereum and issuing tokens to power those applications.

So as Ethereum moves up in price... the best dApp tokens on Ethereum have an exponential move higher in price, too.

Today, Ethereum is responsible for over 80% of dApps. So it’s definitely on pace to become the “App Store” of the crypto space.

But Ethereum has even more upside than Apple. That’s because it’s also the backbone of another disruptive trend: decentralized finance (DeFi).

What Exactly Is DeFi?

Without getting too much into the weeds, DeFi aims to do for finance what the internet has done for so many other businesses: remove the middle-man. It uses cutting-edge blockchain technology to prevent manipulation without relying on trust-ed third parties.

Eventually, DeFi will make banking, borrow-ing, lending, and investing more accessible and cheaper for billions of people. It’s a brand-new way of conducting commerce that will remake entire segments of traditional markets.

And nowhere is this disruption poised to hit with more shattering force than in the financial sector.

You see, finance companies are the ultimate mid-dlemen. They borrow money cheaply from one set of investors and lend it to another at a fat profit. They buy stock from one group of investors, then immediately sell it to another. All the while, they catch a middleman spread (the difference be-tween the buy and sell prices).

But it’s not just stocks. DeFi is poised to upend all types of financial transactions, from swiping a credit card... to taking out a mortgage or loan... or investors pooling money together to launch a new business...

The list is endless. And our centralized financial system makes money by extracting a fee from each and every one.

But according to a report from the World Eco-nomic Forum, DeFi could soon replace huge markets that are major sources of profit on Wall Street, including:

• The $2.7 trillion lending market

• The $11.2 trillion securitized product market

• And the $560 trillion derivatives market.

With these and other sectors, DeFi could replace as much as $867 trillion in financial markets. That’s bigger than the entire world’s economic output in the last 10 years.

People are just starting to realize how much mon-ey they can save… and how much money they can make through DeFi.

Here are just a few quick examples:

• Metronome lets businesses take repeat pay-ments in cryptocurrency, something no main-stream institution provides.

It kicked off 2021 processing $19.3 million.

Page 6: THE TRILLION-DOLLAR COIN PORTFOLIO

www.palmbeachgroup.com 6

And it hit $116 million in volume 11 months later. That’s a 500% increase.

• Bancor lowers trading fees by cutting out the middleman. At the start of 2021, it processed $126 million in transactions. A few months later, that grew to as high as $2.37 billion. A 1,780% increase in a few months.

• Flexa allows people to buy with cryptocurren-cy as easily as using a credit card… but with zero fees. It started in 2021 handling $130 million in transactions. But that jumped to as high as $2.73 billion... a 2,000% increase in under a year.

And Ethereum will be at the center of the DeFi universe.

All of the four tokens in this special report run on Ethereum. And as I mentioned above, Ethereum is the gold standard of blockchain apps.

I believe Ethereum will do to the traditional finance services sector what Netflix did to Block-buster and what Amazon did to Sears. It will eventually wipe them off the map. And that will propel these coins like a slingshot.

Hear me when I tell you this: Ethereum is the most important piece of software that’s ever been creat-ed for the deployment of other software programs.

But don’t just take my word for it…

In March 2021, global payments giant Visa an-nounced it would offer transaction settlements in stablecoins on the Ethereum blockchain. This is something I’ve been predicting for years… and it’s all unfolding right before your very eyes.

In 2019, there was $35 trillion in global payment card expenditures, according to research firm RBR.

Not to be outdone, leading digital asset manager Grayscale opened its Ethereum trust to accred-ited investors and has since been buying large

amounts of ETH each day. On February 12, the asset management firm bought over $94 million worth of ETH.

And that’s why I believe the smart money is pour-ing in...

Billionaire tech investor Mark Cuban is most excited about smart contracts that are developed on the Ethereum blockchain powering dApps and DeFi. (A smart contract is a self-executing con-tract with the terms of the agreement between parties directly written into lines of code.)

In February 2021, Silicon Valley venture capi-tal titan Andreessen Horowitz led a $25 million funding round in an Ethereum scaling solution.

I can’t stress how huge this is…

When it comes to finding companies and technol-ogies that change the world, no one comes close to Andreessen Horowitz. For example, in 2011, the firm invested $80 million in Twitter. It was also an early investor in blockbuster companies like Facebook, Groupon, and Airbnb.

Ethereum is on a pathway to become the fastest asset in human history to hit a $1 trillion valua-tion… even faster than bitcoin. That’s how power-ful Ethereum is… And right now, the whole world is asleep at the wheel of just how valuable Ethere-um will become.

To get a sense of how much demand there is to use Ethereum, look no further than the revenue it generates from transaction fees.

Since the start of 2021, Ethereum generated nearly $563 million in revenue from transaction fees each month. That’s nearly $6.75 billion per year annualized.

And if we compare this to 2020, when Ethereum generated roughly $600 million in all of 2020, you can see the demand to use Ethereum has surged over the past year, as its usability increases... a

Page 7: THE TRILLION-DOLLAR COIN PORTFOLIO

www.palmbeachgroup.com 7

1,033% growth in transaction revenue, to be exact.

Now let’s assume next year, Ethereum grows at just one tenth of the rate it has in 2021.

That would imply nearly $1.15 billion in monthly transaction fees, or $13.7 billion annually.

To get a sense of what $13.7 billion in transaction fee revenue means for Ethereum, we can compare it to the likes of global payment processing giants Visa and Mastercard.

Today, these two companies trade at an earn-ings multiple of 47. If we apply the same earn-ings multiple to Ethereum, it would be valued at roughly $645 billion.

But since Ethereum is on the cutting-edge of technology with higher growth potential, we be-lieve Ethereum will fetch a premium at least two times greater than legacy payment companies like Visa and Mastercard.

That would translate to a market cap of $1.3 tril-lion for Ethereum, or $10,980 per token.

That makes it about a 223% gain from current prices.

Under a blue-sky scenario, we could even see Ethereum reach $25,000 in the coming years. That’s a 625% gain – enough to turn every $1,000 into $7,250.

That’s why I urge you to add some Ethereum to your portfolio today.

Action to Take: Buy ether (ETH). Buy-up-to Price: See the portfolio page here. Stop Loss: None Buy It On: Coinbase, Coinbase Pro, Gemini, Binance, Binance.US, or Kraken Store It On: MyEtherWallet or Ledger Position Size: $200–400 for smaller traders or $500–1,000 for larger traders Asset Class: Cryptos (Altcoins)

But as much money as you can make with Ethere-um, I think you can make an order of magnitude more by buying a series of coins built on top of the Ethereum ecosystem.

Just like the companies that plugged into the internet went on to be worth billions and trillions, I believe these disruptive projects will deliver huge gains for early investors by plugging into the Ethereum ecosystem.

That means one thing: Just like bitcoin gave rise to hundreds of other cryptos called altcoins… we’re on the verge of another monster altcoin run.

The Four Coins That Will Ride Ethereum…

As I showed you above, bitcoin’s historic run as the first cryptocurrency to $1 trillion had long coattails.

During bitcoin’s rise, we saw coins I recommend-ed like NEO, Binance, and Monero rise as much as 158,147%, 18,447%, and 5,450%, respectively.

I believe Ethereum will have even longer coat-tails. And it’ll slingshot certain coins to amazing heights... just like Apple did for dozens of apps on its platform.

Also, like early apps in the Apple ecosystem, these new dApps are charting new courses in the areas of finance, sports betting, etc. Today, they may seem like niche products. But that’s what people thought about early “streaming” services like YouTube and Netflix before they became multi-billion-dollar companies.

So I want you to take a long-term view of these projects...

The four coins I’ve identified in this special report either run on the Ethereum network or link to it.

By hitching their carts to Ethereum, I think they’ll deliver gains of as much as 800%, and even 19,600%.

These are the perfect kinds of asymmetric bets we look for... Where you can take a small starting stake and make incredible returns... All on our journey to make life-changing gains without tak-ing life-changing risks.

That’s why it’s so important you use rational posi-tion sizing: $200–400 per idea if you’re a smaller investor, or $500–1,000 if you’re a bigger investor. Don’t risk more than you’re willing to lose outright.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Immediately after our buy recommendations, we often see an initial price spike. We understand this can be frustrating. But don’t worry. This is par for the course in the cryptocurrency space. Most of the time, the recommendation falls back below our buy-up-to price. Use a limit order. And just be patient and let the price come to you.

Now, let’s get to them…

Trillion-Dollar Portfolio Coin No. 1: Compound (COMP)

As you know, Coinbase – the largest crypto ex-change in the U.S. – went public recently. It ended its first trading day with an $86 billion market cap.

That makes Coinbase larger than many house-hold names in the financial services industry, including CME Group, Discover Financial, and Intercontinental Exchange, the operator of the New York Stock Exchange.

But as I said above, the best opportunities in this space are in DeFi, where Ethereum will have the most impact.

You see, Coinbase is a centralized exchange. While it makes it easy to buy, sell, and store cryptos, it has its pitfalls. The two largest are its high fees and the risk of letting Coinbase custody your assets.

That’s where DeFi comes in. Under DeFi, plat-forms like exchanges are decentralized. They

allow users to trade cryptos at a fraction of the cost... and maintain control over their assets.

And Compound (COMP) can help us take ad-vantage of this trend. It’s a decentralized money market protocol on the Ethereum network.

It’s one of the largest decentralized lending pro-tocols in the world. In September, it reached an all-time high of $13 billion in assets held on the platform. At time of writing, that number is roughly $11.9 billion.

Still, compared to crypto institutions like Coin-base and traditional financial firms, Compound is small enough to deliver incredible returns if the crypto market takes off again.

Compound allows users to borrow against their assets and/or lend them to earn income. The platform is completely permissionless, meaning anyone in the world regardless of their wealth or credit score can use it.

Compound pools depositors’ assets together – which borrowers can draw from. This evenly distributes risk and rewards among depositors looking to earn interest on idle assets.

An algorithm on Compound sets interest rates. And it automatically adjusts them to reflect market demand. For instance, when borrowing demand rises, rates increase to attract more lend-ers. And when borrowing demand drops, rates decrease to attract more borrowers.

Unlike centralized institutions, Compound uses smart contracts to ensure optimal security and allow users to retain control over their assets. A depositor can withdraw their assets from the lend-ing pool at any time of the day, 365 days a year.

And since Compound runs on the Ethereum network, it doesn’t need to hire thousands of em-ployees or rent expensive downtown office space. This allows it to operate at a fraction of the price, passing on more profits to depositors and more

Page 9: THE TRILLION-DOLLAR COIN PORTFOLIO

www.palmbeachgroup.com 9

favorable rates to borrowers.

Owning Compound will position us to ride Ethe-reum and the DeFi trend higher. And as more assets flood the DeFi space, COMP token holders stand to benefit from users looking to generate income or take out a loan with their assets.

On the security front, Compound will pay as much as $150,000 to anyone who can discover a bug or vulnerability that would cause the loss of assets or other harm to users. That incentivizes so-called “white hat” hackers to do their best to find and identify potential problems before actual harm can be done to anyone.

It’s also backed by some of the largest players in both the crypto and traditional finance worlds, including Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase, and Bain Capital.

Most importantly, Compound is integrated with a handful of innovative applications and platforms. Some of these you might already know, like Bi-nance. Others you might not…

For example, Donut allows anyone to link their bank account and start earning interest – as much as 4–10% – through Compound in a matter of minutes. No, you don’t get FDIC insurance. But compared to a savings account at a traditional bank like Wells Fargo (which only pays 0.01% interest), Donut’s rate is around 400–1000 times higher.

Another app called PoolTogether also allows us-ers to lend money through Compound but with a twist – all the interest that users earn is collected and distributed through a random rewards pro-cess. While there are still participation risks, the basic idea is creating a lottery in which nobody actually loses, because you still keep your princi-pal and can withdraw it at any time.

This is just the surface of what’s possible, espe-cially as more and more people wake up to the possibilities of DeFi and developers come up with more innovative ideas and concepts.

While Compound offers an excellent platform for DeFi, we think the best way to play its rise is by holding the COMP token.

COMP tokens entitle their holders to fees and governance rights over the Compound protocol.

Holders can participate in decisions such as deter-mining interest rates for each asset… the required amount of collateralization for borrowing... and whether to add new coins to the protocol.

Most importantly, Compound generates rev-enues by taking a cut of the interest paid by borrowers and placing it in a reserve fund. The reserve fund acts as insurance for lenders to pro-tect against default.

However, when reserves reach sufficient levels, to-ken holders can then vote on how to distribute the rewards. And as you can imagine, they’ll likely vote to distribute the interest rewards to themselves.

As more assets flood the DeFi space, COMP token holders stand to benefit from users looking to generate income or take out a loan with their as-sets. So adding Compound to the portfolio today will position us to ride Ethereum and the DeFi trend higher.

Compound basically operates as a decentralized bank. So we can value COMP tokens by relating them to shares in traditional publicly traded banks.

Today, there’s over $17.5 trillion in deposits held in U.S. banks. If even 1% of that money moves over to Compound, that would be about $175 billion going into the protocol.

Meanwhile, Compound earns roughly 0.4% on its dollar-denominated stablecoin loans. (A stable-coin is a crypto that’s pegged 1:1 to the value of a real-world asset, such as the U.S. dollar or gold. They’re designed to avoid wild fluctuations in price.) If we assume a quarter of that will be kept in reserves, then the other 0.3% would be avail-able to token holders.

Page 10: THE TRILLION-DOLLAR COIN PORTFOLIO

www.palmbeachgroup.com 10

That 0.3% yearly fee on $175 billion would gener-ate $525 million available to token holders.

The top five largest publicly traded banks have historically traded at 14 times earnings. That means Compound could easily be worth $7.35 billion just by meeting the average... representing an 82% jump from the token’s recent price when accounting for maximum token supply.

Of course, Compound could grow faster – and scale more easily – than any traditional bank. And investors tend to assign substantially higher multiples in those situations. (Amazon and Tesla are great examples.)

Therefore, we think Compound could easily com-mand a valuation that is five times higher than the typical stodgy old bank.

Couple that possibility with the maximum supply of COMP tokens allowed under the protocol, and we believe the fair value of each token could be $3,675… an 809% increase from current prices.

Action to Take: Buy Compound (COMP). Buy-up-to Price: See the portfolio page here. Stop Loss: None Buy It On: Coinbase, Gemini, Binance, or Uniswap Store It On: MyEtherWallet or Ledger Position Size: $200–400 for smaller traders or $500–1,000 for larger traders Asset Class: Cryptos (Altcoins)

Trillion-Dollar Portfolio Coin No. 2: 0x (ZRX)

0x (ZRX) is another opportunity for us to capi-talize on the DeFi trend.

0x is a decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator.

Like a centralized exchange, a DEX provides a platform for different parties to make trades. But unlike centralized exchanges – including Coin-base, the largest crypto exchange in the U.S. –

there are no custodian middlemen in a DEX. That eliminates the need for users to store their assets remotely and minimizes security risks like hacks.

0x has an interface called Matcha. It finds the best price for users looking to swap assets on the Ethereum network by pulling liquidity from mul-tiple DEXs on the network.

This saves users from having to search through several exchanges to find the best place to trade an asset. Even if they were up to the task, by the time they found the best price and entered the trade... prices would’ve likely changed by then.

This makes 0x the one-stop shop to exchange as-sets on a decentralized network, such as Ethereum.

0x also provides multiple sources of liquidity, including professional market makers… free limit orders for peer-to-peer transactions… and exclu-sive access to private pools of capital.

Plus, 0x has one crucial difference from other DEXs: It doesn’t store orders on the blockchain, only trade settlements. This makes it faster and less costly.

Obviously, none of this would matter if there were trading delays, outages, or security issues. But 0x boasts 99.9% uptime and a faster response time than its competitors. One study also showed 0x producing better fee-adjusted prices than competitors 70% of the time.

For all these reasons, market participants are flocking to 0x. Active traders on the platform have grown from 8,563 to 102,290 over the past year. That’s a 1,095% increase.

The protocol can be used to build or augment a wide range of marketplaces – digital goods ex-changes, games with in-game currencies, portfo-lio management platforms, and many others.

Since the start of this year, 0x has generated over $61.2 billion in trading volume. That’s a 648%

Page 11: THE TRILLION-DOLLAR COIN PORTFOLIO

www.palmbeachgroup.com 11

increase from the roughly $8.2 billion in volume it generated in all of 2020.

If 0x can sustain that growth rate, it would end the year with about $167 billion in trading volume.

To estimate 0x’s value, we’ll use its historical fee average, which is about 0.01% of trading volume. By comparison, Coinbase charges a 0.5% fee – or 50x more than 0x.

Based on its current fees, 0x would see about $17 million in earnings ($167 billion x 0.01%).

And while this may seem small… We believe it’s only the start as the DeFi trend is still in its early stages and hasn’t yet reached the masses.

Let’s assume 0x’s current growth rate decreases by half over the next three years. That’s about 324% year-over-year growth in trading volume. At that rate, it’d see about $12.8 trillion in trading volume by the end of 2024.

Using a 0.01% trading fee, 0x would be earning roughly $1.28 billion per year.

To get a sense of what that means for the ZRX price, we can compare 0x to the largest publicly traded crypto exchange, Coinbase.

Today, Coinbase trades at 25 times its earnings. If we apply that same multiple to 0x, its market cap would grow to $31.9 billion ($1.28 billion x 25).

As an early-stage project with cutting-edge tech-nology and huge growth potential… We believe 0x could fetch a multiple at least three times greater than Coinbase.

That would make 0x worth $95.7 billion – or $113.24 per token based on today’s circulating supply.

That’s a 10,271% increase from today’s price. Enough to turn a $500 investment into $51,857 and every $1,000 investment into $103,714.

But we believe it can go even higher as DeFi con-tinues to gain mass adoption – and 0x pushes to expand in the multi-chain universe.

Let’s assume 0x sustains its current 648% growth rate over the next three years. That would imply 0x facilitating over $70 trillion in trading volume by the end of 2024.

And if we use the same 0.01% trading fee, 0x would rake in $7 billion in annual profits for its ZRX token holders.

Now at this point, we’d consider 0x’s hy-per-growth phase to be in its past. And for that reason, we’d give it an earnings multiple of 25 – matching Coinbase.

That would give 0x a $175.5 billion valuation. Or $207.62 per ZRX token based on the current circulating supply.

That’s a 19,673% increase from today’s price. Enough to turn a $500 investment into $98,866. And every $1,000 investment into $197,732.

That makes ZRX a perfect asymmetric play – the type of investment that could turn a tiny amount of money into a substantial windfall.

Trillion-Dollar Portfolio Coin No. 3: Aragon (ANT)

In May 2016, a DAO, a digital decentralized autonomous organization, set the record for the largest crowdfunding campaign in history when it raised $150 million. (We’ll explain more about

how DAOs work below.)

Launched on Ethereum, the euphoria from the record crowd-sale quickly dissipated when a hacker exploited a vulnerability in the DAO’s code. By the time developers fixed the problem, $55 million had been siphoned away.

As a result, there was an intense debate in the community on how best to solve the problem. One camp felt the code should be rolled back to make investors whole.

The other camp wanted no fix so that the Ethere-um blockchain remained immutable. In the end, the Ethereum blockchain did a hard fork, with the end result being Ethereum (ETH) and Ethereum Classic (ETC). ETH made investors whole, while ETC remained immutable.

The DAO hack controversy highlights the need for governance in cryptocurrencies. It’s not an uncommon problem. Bitcoin, for example, has also been mired in decisions on how best to scale the network.

During 2017, the debate over bitcoin scaling led to two 30%-plus drops in price. And it also led to the contentious Bitcoin Cash hard fork in August 2017.

Solving the governance issue is Aragon (ANT). It aims to be the first community-governed de-centralized organization with the goal of acting as a digital jurisdiction and online decentralized court system.

Organizations can use the Aragon Network’s ba-sic constitution and services as a framework. And they’ll also be able to build a custom set of rules to govern relationships inside the organization.

Based in Spain, Aragon is led by Luis Cuende, a tech prodigy listed among Forbes’ 30 Under 30.

With the advent of the internet and cloud com-puting, Cuende sees a new type of company emerging, one without traditional corporate and

geographic forms. And that means we’ll need new architecture to manage these entities.

Aragon is building the tools for these next-gen-eration decentralized organizations. And Aragon wants to provide everything you need to run one of these companies.

While governance is a key feature, with Aragon you also can administer accounting, by-laws, cap tables, fundraising, and payroll.

These activities aren’t exciting. But they’re critical to running an efficient organization. If Aragon can become a critical piece of infrastructure for decentralized companies, that will create signifi-cant value.

The team unveiled Aragon Court in February 2020. It’s powered by judges who back up their fairness by staking tokens. These judges are called up and rewarded for their work. It’s the first decentralized court room of its kind, and it helps power Aragon’s network of organizations.

Organizations can join the network by paying fees in Aragon’s native token, ANT.

Aragon started off as an Ethereum-based project and is now migrating to its own Cosmos SDK-built chain using Ethermint. Being built on the Cos-mos SDK helps Aragon become chain-agnostic, meaning it’s no longer dependent upon one single chain. Also, because it uses Ethermint, it retains interoperability with Ethereum’s Virtual Machine and Ethereum smart contracts. This gives Aragon a wider net to cast to attract users and partners.

The Aragon Association, which is the legal stew-ard of the Aragon project, has strong financial backing, with over $200 million in value spread across 10 fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies. The association recently garnered the attention of Tim Draper, a venture capitalist who has backed Tesla, SpaceX, and Coinbase (among others), and who now sits on the board.

With strong financial backing and the right advis-ers, Aragon is our choice to solve governance and governance issues in the crypto age. Not only will Aragon solve these issues within DAOs, but we’ll also see traditional organizations turn to Aragon for its services as well.

Today, there are roughly 33.25 million businesses and non-profit organizations in the United States Aragon can provide services to.

For the businesses that are hesitant to fully em-brace blockchain, they could use Aragon to sim-ply improve their voting processes.

Each year, many of these businesses and organi-zations will rely on a centralized voting process to collectively make key decisions. This could include anything from shareholders voting on the next board of directors, to staff members voting to de-cide where the next holiday party will be held.

Aragon can help ensure the process is secure and results are transparent.

We could also see non-profit organizations trans-fer their power structure into DAOs. DAOs use blockchain technology to allow businesses to automate essential and non-essential tasks, such as tracking inventory, creating or paying bills, and more. Because they use the blockchain, DAOs can also make business operations more visible. This would improve transparency and remove the need to trust any single person or a group with the finances.

By using a DAO to run a non-profit organization such as a charity, outsiders can verify every move the organization is making. This would likely lead to more donations to a charity that uses a DAO, since anyone can verify how the money is being spent. It’s a common concern donors have that Aragon is helping eliminate.

Over the next three to five years, we believe we could see 5% of these 33.25 million businesses and organizations turn to blockchain networks

such as Ethereum to improve governance and transparency.

And with Aragon serving as the industry leader for implementing secure and tamper-proof vot-ing, we believe it has the ability to capture half of the market for blockchain-based voting solutions. If so, that would imply roughly 830,000 organi-zations using Aragon’s services. And that will lead to higher token prices for ANT.

By owning a stake in Aragon, we’re positioning ourselves to profit from organizations looking to use blockchain technology to improve their gov-ernance structure.

Trillion-Dollar Portfolio Coin No. 4: Enjin Coin (ENJ)

Blockchain makes everything from cryptos to DeFi possible…

And when these are combined with other import-ant technological advancements, they form the metaverse… which could alter the very fabric of life as we currently know it.

What is the metaverse?

Take the power of the internet…

Plus the mobility of smartphones and similar devices…

And add in virtual reality and artificial intelligence.

Now, start layering in all the new possibilities of the blockchain.

It sounds like a science fiction story, but the metaverse is a virtual world… intimately connect-ed to our real world… where just about anything is possible.

Some of our daily activities already contain shades of a metaverse future.

For example, do you have any online-only “friends” through a social media platform – peo-ple you haven’t actually met in person but who feel familiar?

That idea of a real personal connection without physical contact is laying the groundwork for a completely virtual world where people meet, interact, and have genuine relationships… maybe only as avatars of their real-life selves.

However, this will go far beyond an enhanced Zoom call.

With a virtual reality headset, you’ll get a full 3D panoramic view of the place you’re in… and hear everything going on around you as if you’re in the room…

And through haptic devices – mechanical in-terfaces that provide physical feedback, like the touchscreen on your smartphone vibrating against your fingers – it will even be possible to “feel” a virtual handshake or hug.

Some people have likened it to teleporting into and out of digital spaces, with completely realistic interactions.

In other words, you’ll be able to go anywhere and do just about anything from the comfort of an armchair and feel like it’s actually happening.

Meanwhile, the information conveyed by our mobile devices will also get more and more inte-grated with our real-world surroundings…

With the advent of 5G networks, individual data bandwidth will skyrocket. So it will be possible

to experience much richer digitally-enhanced worlds as you travel through real, physical spaces.

During one of its conferences, Adobe put together a great conceptual video of what that might look like. In the video, a person wearing a pair of smart glasses navigates her day while receiving a con-stant array of enhanced information about her sur-roundings. You can click here to see it for yourself.

For companies, the commercial possibilities will be endless.

Imagine being able to alert someone to a sale in your store as they walk by on their way to work…

Letting them browse your inventory virtually…

Buy the item in a blockchain-driven transaction…

And have the item waiting on their doorstep by the time they get home that evening.

Look, even if much of this still sounds abstract, it makes sense to get involved immediately – espe-cially after what we’ve seen during past techno-logical breakthroughs.

Remember how unbelievable a fully evolved in-ternet sounded back in 1995?

Or how crazy smartphones were when they first launched?

Or how skeptical everyone was about cryptos when we first started recommending them in 2016?

Make no mistake: The metaverse is going to create opportunities that are just as big as any of those other technological revolutions.

And companies are already starting to pivot to this new trend…

Mark Zuckerberg says he’d like to move his entire company to this place as soon as possible.

Just three weeks after Facebook CEO Mark Zuck-

erberg said he’d like to move his entire company to this place as soon as possible, he announced he’s changing Facebook’s name to Meta… and Google searches related to the term “metaverse” started going through the roof.

That may very well mark the seminal moment for a trend that will radically alter how we live, work, and play.

The metaverse is destined to become the new center of social interaction the way the local pub had been for centuries… the way the TV was for decades… the way the early internet chat boards were in the 1990s… and the way that Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat are now.

And investing in tokens associated with leading metaverse platforms is a great way to make seri-ous money from this burgeoning trend.

However, most people agree that the biggest chal-lenge to truly parabolic growth – and the key to the purest expression of the metaverse concept – is interoperability between different platforms.

In other words, allowing users to make seamless transitions between different platforms and infor-mation providers.

The next big goal for the metaverse is solving this problem.

And the first step toward that massive undertak-ing is simply allowing users, particularly gamers, to take their virtual assets (often in the form of non-fungible tokens, or NFTs) from one platform to another in more frictionless ways.

That’s where Enjin Coin (ENJ) comes in.

It’s a blockchain ecosystem with products that allow anyone to easily create, manage, distribute, trade, and store blockchain assets.

Enjin started as a gaming platform that provid-ed tools for people to build communities around

their favorite games. And by 2017, it was moving into blockchain development.

Blockchain-based games rely on smart contracts to function. Smart contracts are basically lines of code that execute the terms of an agreement between two parties.

The thing is, designing smart contracts for games can be a complicated and expensive process. And before Enjin came along, Ethereum’s setup could lead to exorbitant transaction fees when using smart contracts. For example, when traffic on the Ethereum network is high, simple processing fees can skyrocket from a normal cost of $5 to up-wards of $50.

So Enjin decided to write a new protocol from scratch to address this problem.

Authored and championed by Enjin’s software engineers, the Ethereum development communi-ty fully accepted the protocol on June 17, 2019.

It goes by the very unsexy name of ERC-1155. But this nondescript piece of tech has dropped the cost of using the Ethereum blockchain by as much as 90%. And this dramatic decrease in costs makes moving and trading digital items far more efficient.

Plus, to escape the horrors of centralized gaming, Enjin has created the “Enjin multiverse,” where players not only own all their assets but can carry them across games.

It’s been a big step toward interoperability be-tween previously-closed systems.

Today, developers can use Enjin’s ERC-1155 standard to create virtual goods easily and cost efficiently.

Further, with its ecosystem, Enjin created a new paradigm for the gaming space where users can truly own their in-game assets.

It’s already being used by dozens of games. And

Page 16: THE TRILLION-DOLLAR COIN PORTFOLIO

www.palmbeachgroup.com 16

it’s formed partnerships with companies such as Binance, Samsung, and Unity, which runs one of the world’s largest game development platforms. It’s even linked up with Microsoft to develop NFT-compatibility for the company’s hit game, Minecraft.

What It’s Worth

Today, the ENJ token is used to mint and pur-chase NFTs on its decentralized marketplace.

As of writing, nearly 1 million digital items have been traded in Enjin’s marketplace – generating over 45 million ENJ worth of transactions.

But we believe this is just the start as more games begin to integrate Enjin.

All it takes is one game to attract millions of users who collect and use dozens of in-game items.

Look no further than successful games like Mine-craft and World of Warcraft.

These games have tens of millions of users, each holding dozens of in-game items. This translates to billions of in-game items for each of these games.

As mentioned above, dozens of games are cur-rently using Enjin and many more are set to launch in the months ahead.

And while the Enjin token will see big demand from minting in-game items, we believe the bulk of Enjin’s income will be generated through its marketplace.

Today, there’s a 2.5% trading fee paid to the original creator of the NFT. But we believe Enjin will add an additional small fee of 1% that accrues value to its token holders.

Now let’s assume the dozens of games that run on Enjin collectively generate $10 billion in NFT trad-ing volume. That would translate to $100 million per year in revenue for ENJ token holders.

However, we don’t see that as a stagnant figure. In fact, the size of the video game digital item market is rapidly evolving.

According to Adroit Market Research, gamers were projected to spend $50 billion last year on intangible digital items like avatars and in-game items. Adroit forecasts an annual growth rate of 22.3% for this figure into 2025.

We expect Enjin’s earnings to grow at that same rate, at the very least. In that case, Enjin should be pocketing nearly $223 million per year in rev-enue for ENJ token holders within the next four years, especially as the larger Ethereum network which it’s tied to continues to gain traction.

To get a sense of what this means for Enjin’s mar-ket value, we can compare it to the likes of other major gaming companies.

As of writing, the average video game company trades at a P/E multiple of 26.5. If we gave Enjin the same earnings multiple, it would be valued at $5.9 billion, based on $223 million in yearly revenue.

That’s a 343% increase from today’s Enjin token price at time of writing.

So make sure you take advantage of this oppor-tunity immediately as Enjin becomes a key cog in the metaverse.
