Levi Rietveld has argued that major financial firms may be directing retail investors into overheated artificial-intelligence stocks while quietly accumulating assets he considers undervalued, including cryptocurrencies.
The popular market connoisseurs central claim is speculative, but it arrives as the host urges viewers to buy XRP, XLM, Bitcoin and other digital assets during what Levi describes as a broad crypto bear market.

The host pointed to comments attributed to BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, interpreting them as a recommendation for investors to move money out of bank deposits and into AI-linked growth stocks. Levi also cited JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon’s warning that the US could lose reserve-currency status within 25 years.
AI enthusiasm meets a rate-hike warning
According to Levi Rietveld, the timing is the problem. He said there was “over a 60% chance” that the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates at its next meeting, arguing that higher rates could strengthen the dollar while weighing on higher-risk assets such as AI and internet companies.
“AI” stocks had already posted major gains, he said, and were overbought by the technical measures he follows. The video did not identify the specific valuation tools, companies or indicators behind that assessment.
He contrasted AI with crypto, selected oil and gas stocks, and other sectors he described as oversold. In his view, large institutions have better analytics than most retail participants and may benefit when investors chase the most popular trade rather than assets that have already undergone sharp corrections.
Grayscale filings add to the host’s thesis
Levi Rietveld also highlighted Grayscale’s reported withdrawal of filings for Cardano, Hedera and Polkadot trust ETFs, saying three withdrawals were filed within 190 seconds on August 7. He interpreted the move, alongside the AI and dollar commentary, as evidence that BlackRock, JPMorgan and Grayscale were collectively pulling attention away from crypto.
His technical case rests heavily on the 200-week simple moving average. Levi said Bitcoin, XRP, Solana and many major altcoins were trading below that line, which he treated as a bear-market signal and a potential accumulation zone. “You want to buy in the bear markets and sell in the bull markets,” he said.
What investors should take from the clip
The YouTube episode reflects a contrarian crypto thesis: that weak technical conditions may represent opportunity rather than a reason to avoid the market. But the argument depends on assumptions about Federal Reserve policy, AI valuations and institutional intentions that still remain uncertain.
