This tech company grew 32,481%...
No, it's not Nvidia... It's Mode Mobile, 2023âs fastest-growing software company according to Deloitte.
Just as Uber turned vehicles into income-generating assets, Mode is turning smartphones into an easy passive income source, already helping 45M+ users earn $325M+ through simple, everyday use.
Theyâve just been granted their stock ticker by the Nasdaq, and you can still invest in their pre-IPO offering at just $0.26/share.
*Mode Mobile recently received their ticker reservation with Nasdaq ($MODE), indicating an intent to IPO in the next 24 months. An intent to IPO is no guarantee that an actual IPO will occur.

Keeping it short and sweet this week because we need to hammer this in:
đ„ Youâre not bullish enough on Bitcoin (and yes, altcoins too)
đ We are so close to liftoff
đ HODL - stop thinking about sellingâŠseriously
Last week, we broke down current market sentiment in detail.
TL;DR: Retail is exhausted, pessimistic, and still nursing wounds from memecoin mayhem.
With 30+ million memecoins out there (many of them straight-up scams), Solana has become a meme casino, and retail is over it.
Now, add in some big macro headaches like:
Trade war tensions
Inflation still raging
Interest rate cuts looking less likely.
Naturally, this is making retail investors nervous.
But hereâs the plot twist: TradFi and institutions arenât sweating it.
They see what retail doesnâtâŠ
Bitcoinâs true value and the supply/demand squeeze thatâs coming.
The smart money is stacking.
The question is - are you? đ
Crypto Order Sparks National Digital Asset Focus
A newly signed executive order aims to build a national digital asset stockpile, highlighting the strategic potential of blockchain. DeFi Technologies Inc. (US: DEFTF & CAD: DEFI.NE) stands at the forefront by offering regulated exchange traded products that simplify digital asset access. As the U.S. takes strides in crypto policy, discover how DeFiâs approach may align with this emerging infrastructure.
Supply Crunch Incoming đ
Institutions See What Retail Doesnât â Donât Be Their Exit Liquidity
What do institutions, nation-states, and massive funds see that retail traders donât?
Simple - theyâve been orange-pilled. They finally understand Bitcoinâs value. đ€
But letâs not forget - retail saw it first.
Individuals built this movement.
Bitcoin is one of the only assets where the majority of supply has been owned by regular people, not institutions.
Retail stacked first, but now?
đ Retail looks exhausted.
đ„ Institutions are just getting started.
Since the halving, institutions have been scooping up Bitcoin like itâs on clearance. And guess whoâs selling to them? Retail.
Retail vs. Institutions: Two Different Mentalities
Institutions:
Bitcoinâs risky, sure⊠but itâs crushing the stock marketâs 10% returns.
Itâs got demand, and itâs clearly here to stay.
Weâre in.
Retail:
Bitcoin? Meh. Itâll only 2x. Lame. YOLO into dog coins - Lambo season, baby!
Loses everything.
I should have just bought Bitcoin.
Where This Leads: The Supply Crunch of the Century
The writingâs been on the wall for months:
đč Corporations, funds, and nation-states are buying Bitcoin and adding it to their treasuries.
đč Theyâre not flipping it next week - theyâre holding for the long haul.
đč Millions of BTC are getting locked away, permanently shrinking supply.
The Bitcoin supply that is available?
Itâs about to get ridiculously expensive.
With the halving slashing new supply and institutions gobbling up every sat they can, itâs looking near-impossible to meet demand without prices skyrocketing.
So What Should You Do?
Easy.
Donât get left behind. Donât sell your bags.
Just sit back, Hodl, and let the supply crunch work its magic.
This rocket has been fueling up for months.
All you have to do is stay on board. đđ„
