In this special episode, recorded for DACOM NYC 2026, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce joins Solidus Labs' CXO Chen Arad to explore her journey, the landmark rulemaking work underway, how that work connects to broader capital markets reform, and her reflections on what has changed and what still needs to be done.In 2019, Solidus had the honor of hosting SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce as a keynote speaker at the inaugural DACOM NY Summit. At a time when the SEC was repeatedly rejecting Bitcoin ETF applications and regulation by enforcement was the norm, Commissioner Peirce emerged as a principled dissenting voice within the agency, earning her the iconic nickname "Crypto Mom." In November this year, she will be departing her role, leaving an agency with a completely different posture towards digital assets and innovation. Over the past eighteen months as head of the SEC's Crypto Task Force, she has steered a significant shift in the agency's approach: from regulation by enforcement toward fit-for-purpose frameworks, industry engagement, and realistic compliance paths.

Bitcoin just absorbed a Fed rate hike, the collapse of the CLARITY Act, heavy ETF outflows, rising Treasury yields and brutal macro headwinds — and barely moved.With liquidity turning, inflation pressure building and Washington heading into the midterms, the Bitcoin bull case may be getting stronger, not weaker. We break down the Fed, Kevin Warsh, Trump, Bitcoin ETF flows, the global liquidity cycle and why Q4 could shock this entire market.SPONSORS

The Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act in a 49 to 50 procedural vote, falling short of the 60 votes required. Bitcoin immediately came under pressure, while hundreds of millions in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated and spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded heavy outflows. But the bigger question is what Washington's latest setback actually means for Bitcoin and crypto regulation going forward.SPONSORS✅ Ledn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Simply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

Morgan Stanley became the first global systemically important bank to launch a spot Bitcoin ETP and it crossed $600 million within months of its April debut. Amy Oldenburg, Head of Digital Assets at Morgan Stanley, joins host Spencer Nichols to explain how that product came together, why it was priced below competing spot Bitcoin ETFs, and what still stands between clients and their first Bitcoin allocation. She also details the firm's 0–4% allocation framework across three investor risk profiles and why Morgan Stanley has no equivalent gold allocation. Plus: whether Bitcoin could land on Morgan Stanley's own balance sheet.

Cryptocurrency used to be positioned as an alternative to Wall Street. Now? Wall Street is increasingly embracing the technology behind it.  Zack Guzman – Founder of Trustless Media and Host of Coinage, a crypto and Web3 podcast – joins us on The Important Part: Investing with Liz Thomas this week to share his perspective on how crypto has evolved from a disruptive idea to an institutional asset class.  You'll hear Zack's take on Bitcoin ETFs and why Wall Street is embracing tokenization. He and Liz also explore some potential futures of blockchain technology and how it may reshape the financial systems investors use today. Then, Liz and Zack turn to AI. As agentic AI becomes capable of making financial decisions, could AI agents transact directly with one another on a blockchain – without a human executing the trade? And what role do regulators have in this future state?  This episode is for informational purposes only and should not be considered investment advice.

After years of saying “institutions are coming,” the institutional era of crypto is finally a tangible reality. Bitcoin ETFs, a crypto-friendly administration, the GENIUS Act, and tokenized equities trading on corporation-run blockchains are pulling the industry toward a hybrid system where TradFi and DeFi converge. In this podcast, Zach Rynes (ChainLinkGod) and The_Crypto_Oracle discuss the institutionalization of crypto, the growing divide between the speculative casino and the financial infrastructure being built beneath it, why issuing an asset onchain means little without distribution and utility, and how the Chainlink platform is positioned to power the next generation of onchain finance. Follow Zach Rynes | CLG: https://x.com/ChainLinkGod Follow The_Crypto_Oracle: https://x.com/Crypto___Oracle

Cal and Pav jump straight into analyzing on-chain metrics after $9 billion in unrealised gains unlocked across new Bitcoin whale wallets.

A white hat hacker just moved 4,000 bitcoin out of Blockstream's Liquid sidechain, and while that story unfolds, the G20 quietly made "growth" the only word that matters. Marty and John break down why debt, deregulation, and cheap energy are becoming the entire playbook - and why Bitcoin keeps showing up as the trade no matter which way the plan breaks.

Bitcoin has a weird talent for sounding complicated even when the core idea is simple: moving value from one person to another without asking permission. We bring on Tyrone Ross Jr., CEO and co-founder of Turnqey Labs and principal of 401k Financial, to strip away the hype and explain what's really happening when you buy, hold, or send Bitcoin. His own “aha” moment comes from a five-minute demo that still feels like magic: a wallet download, a quick transfer, and a new way to think about money for anyone who has ever been underserved by traditional banking.We walk through the fundamentals in plain English: what a blockchain ledger is, why Bitcoin is “permissionless,” and how miners, nodes, blocks, and consensus work together to keep the network running 24/7. Tyrone also draws a clean line between Bitcoin and the broader world of crypto assets, including why the term “cryptocurrency” often misleads US investors and how stablecoins like USDC fit into real-world payments. Along the way, we touch on the deeper backdrop, from trust in institutions to how the current financial system settles transactions more slowly than most people realize.Then we get practical about investing. We talk time horizon, risk tolerance, and the real decision points: Bitcoin ETFs vs buying directly on platforms like Cash App or Coinbase, what self-custody and cold storage actually mean, and why taxes, cost basis, and performance reporting get messy fast. Tyrone flags an issue almost nobody plans for early enough: crypto estate planning, where missing keys or unclear instructions can turn real wealth into an unrecoverable loss. He also shares a simple “first buy” test using the cost of a dinner for two to learn without overextending.If you want a clearer framework for Bitcoin investing and crypto custody, hit play, share this with a friend who still thinks it's all jargon, and leave us a review with your biggest Bitcoin question so we can bring Tyrone back for round two.More about our Guest, Tyrone V.

In this episode we answer emails from Optimus Bill, Sin Nombre, Darren, and George.  We discuss sizing small bitcoin ETF allocations, identify resources to learn more about managed futures, and talk about how underspending or hoarding strategies are often dressed up in various ways that often have surface appeal, but are ultimately unnecessarily restrictive and lack meaningful or useful purpose.  Basic financial tools like selling shares are meant to be used, not avoided.And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterCatching Up To FI -- Donor Advised Funds:  A Donor-Advised Fund For You (Daffy): Democratizing Philanthropy for Everyone | Adam Nash | 200Understanding Managed Futures Paper:  Understanding Managed FuturesDemystifying Managed Futures Paper:  Demystifying Managed FuturesA Century of Evidence on Trend-Following Investing Paper:  A Century of Evidence on Trend-Following InvestingList of Books from Top Traders Unplugged:  Top Traders Unplugged Ultimate Guide to Investing Books.pdf - Google Drive"Follow The Trend" Book:  Amazon.com: Following the Trend: Diversified Managed Futures Trading (Wiley Trading): 9781119908982: Clenow, Andreas F.: BooksExcess Returns Managed Futures Presentation:  Why Most Investors Won't Buy the Best Diversifier | Andrew Beer on Managed FuturesIM Global Partners YouTube Channel (DBMF):  iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF Update with Andrew Beer | June 2026Overcoming Underspending Habits To Improve Well-Being in Retirement:  RPR Episode 436 Illustrated: The Two Halves of Your Financial LifeBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Bitcoin in a risk parity portfolio sounds like a harmless side bet, until you ask the only question that matters: will a tiny allocation actually move the needle, or is it just a story you tell yourself? We dig into the practical reality of a 1% Bitcoin ETF position, why volatility can make small weights matter, and why correlation to tech stocks can feel stable one month and chaotic the next. If you're considering crypto as a “moonshot” inside a diversified portfolio, we talk about what makes it behave like a levered risk asset and how to keep it from dominating your results.Next, we respond to a listener who wants to learn managed futures and trend following the right way. We lay out a no-fluff roadmap: key papers, episodes to revisit, book recommendations, and ongoing video resources from fund providers. If you've been looking at managed futures ETFs like DBMF or KMLM and wondering what they really add to a portfolio, this section helps you separate trading curiosity from allocation decisions, and makes the case for managed futures as a serious diversifier alongside stocks, bonds, gold, commodities, and REITs.Then we tackle a retirement hot button: living off dividend ETF income and never selling shares. We argue that “dividend-only” is often just window dressing for an ultra-low spending plan, and we make the case that selling shares is a normal tool, not a moral failure. We close with our September portfolio review and monthly distributions across the sample portfolios, including leveraged and return-stacked designs, so you can see real-world asset allocation decisions play out.Support the show

We take a look at 3 little known top AI ETFs that may have big potential upside from here.  We also search out some top dividend paying ETFs.  Crypto stocks have exploded to the upside over the past month; we tell you which two Crypto Stocks disruptive growth manager Cathie Wood of Ark Investments is buying right now.  Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Bitcoin briefly reached roughly $81,900 after spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted approximately $731 million in a single day, Treasury yields eased, and Fed Governor Christopher Waller suggested rates could potentially remain unchanged in September. Matt remains cautious, however, because Bitcoin still hasn't cleared the more important resistance around $82,800. A sustained break there could put $90,000 in play, while roughly $75,700 and $71,000 remain the downside levels he's watching. Bitcoin's rally also sent crypto-adjacent stocks sharply higher, including Coinbase, Robinhood, Strategy and Circle, reinforcing Matt's view that these companies can outperform when Bitcoin enters a strong bull move. But the volatility hasn't disappeared: while Matt was preparing the show, Bitcoin fell from above $81,000 toward $79,200 in roughly an hour. With leverage relatively low and ETF demand strong, the setup has improved, but Matt still wants Bitcoin to prove the breakout before declaring the sideways market finished.

Bitcoin just broke one of its oldest macro relationships. As global bond yields surge, Japan fights to defend the yen, and governments move deeper into financial repression, Bitcoin is holding above $80,000 and beginning to trade more like gold than the Nasdaq.Is Bitcoin finally being repriced as hard money and a global debasement hedge? We break down the bond crisis, fiscal dominance, Bitcoin ETF flows, gold rotation, liquidity, inflation, and why the next phase of the Bitcoin bull market could look very different.SPONSORS

The Last Trade: government bond yields are blowing out across the developed world, Japan's 10-year hit 3% for the first time since 1996, and the Treasury's buyback program has already been overrun. Jackson, Michael, and Brian trace what a global bond rout means for hard assets, why $3.5 billion went into Bitcoin ETFs in August, and what it says that 21 of the largest banks just announced a joint dollar stablecoin.---

What brings the next major wave of capital into crypto? After ICOs, stablecoins, and Bitcoin ETFs opened the door to institutional adoption, OKX Global Chief Commercial Officer Lennix Lai believes tokenization and AI agents could help drive the next evolution of the crypto market. In this episode, Lennix breaks down how tokenized stocks, real-world assets, and traditional finance are beginning to merge with DeFi, and why putting assets onchain could unlock entirely new financial products rather than simply recreate Wall Street on blockchain rails.~~~~~⁠⁠⁠⁠

Bitcoin ETF buying is back after a brief pause, with assets hovering near $100 billion as institutional demand continues to build. Hyperliquid is working with Kraken parent Payward on a path into U.S. markets, while Robinhood Chain is seeing record activity and even outpacing Ethereum in daily revenue. Polymarket is also raising $1 billion at a $21 billion valuation, and GoPro stock surged after Markiplier became its largest shareholder. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Last Trade: Bitcoin just posted its second best week since February 2021, up about 24% from roughly 62,000 to a high near 80,000, and Brian calls it the biggest dollar magnitude move ever inside a three to five day span. Gold and Bitcoin ETFs pulled a combined $7 billion in a single week, a record for any five day period. Jackson, Michael, and Brian trace it back to the Treasury's bond buybacks and Stanley Druckenmiller's op-ed calling out his own former protege.---

Bitcoin ging na de 70.000 dollar van vorige week door naar 79.000 en tikte maandag even 81.000 dollar aan. De koers staat nu rond 78.500 dollar, ruim 13 procent hoger dan een week eerder, Ethereum op ongeveer 2.480 dollar. In dollars gemeten is het de grootste weekstijging ooit. Aanjager is het Amerikaanse ministerie van Financiën, dat de terugkoop van langlopende staatsobligaties verdubbelt om de rente te drukken. Beleggers vluchtten naar goud en bitcoin, wat op Wall Street de debasement trade heet: je koopt iets wat niet bijgedrukt kan worden. Of de bearmarkt daarmee voorbij is, valt te bezien. Er werd voor meer dan 4 miljard dollar aan shortposities geliquideerd, weddenschappen op een daling die gedwongen werden gesloten, en dat is brandstof die maar één keer brandt. De instroom in de bitcoin ETF's houdt wel aan, met nog 650 miljoen dollar deze week. De Fear en Greed index sprong van 36 naar ruim 70, van angst naar hebzucht. Bitcoin staat nog 37 procent onder zijn record van 126.000 dollar. In Washington stemt de Senaat op 15 september over de Clarity Act, de wet die moet vastleggen welke toezichthouder over welk deel van de cryptomarkt gaat: beurswaakhond SEC of grondstoffenwaakhond CFTC. De toezichthouders zetten zelf druk. Voorzitter Mike Selig van de CFTC laat zijn staf alvast eigen cryptoregels opstellen, en de SEC kwam met Regulation Crypto Assets, waarmee projecten tot 75 miljoen dollar per jaar mogen ophalen zonder volledige registratie. Bank of America, Wells Fargo en Santander werken volgens The Wall Street Journal aan een gezamenlijke stablecoin, een digitale dollar op de blockchain. Ze zien het geld anders langs zich heen stromen: Tether en Circle hebben ruim 250 miljard dollar in omloop en houden de rente daarop zelf. Ook kondigden 39 Amerikaanse bankiersverenigingen de BankChain Alliance aan, terwijl de Fed van Dallas waarschuwt dat spaargeld op de blockchain het bankwezen 700 miljard dollar aan kredietruimte kost. Dichter bij huis begon Revolut met de uitrol van EURR, een digitale euro die altijd één euro waard moet zijn, uitgegeven door Stripedochter Bridge. De stablecoinmarkt is 317 miljard dollar groot en voor 98 procent in dollars. De digitale euro van de ECB komt op zijn vroegst in 2029.

Crypto News: U.S. state banking associations plan to launch their own nationwide blockchain network. BlackRock has cut minimum for private in-kind creations on iShares Bitcoin ETF to $1 million. Franklin Templeton partners with HashKey to offer tokenized money market fund in Asia.

In this Crypto Water Cooler episode, Tony and Amanda discuss Bitcoin's recent rally and whether the crypto bull market has finally returned, the SEC's new Regulation Crypto guidance, Citibank's launch of Bitcoin custody services, Goldman Sachs' Bitcoin ETF acquisition, and much more.

Bitcoin briefly broke above $80,000, reaching roughly $81,100, before profit-taking pushed it back into the upper $70Ks. Matt explains why $80K remains an important psychological resistance level, with investors who bought higher finally getting opportunities to exit and newer buyers sitting on substantial gains. He argues that a pullback toward $75K or even the low $70Ks would still be normal, while a sustained move back below $70K would make the rally look more like another bear-market bounce. The episode also covers nearly $2 billion in Bitcoin ETF inflows last week, Coinbase launching tokenized stocks on Base, Franklin Templeton expanding tokenized money-market funds in Asia, and BitMine buying roughly $81 million of Ethereum. Matt also looks at the political pressure surrounding the CLARITY Act and GENIUS Act implementation, while warning that the Fear & Greed Index at 80 shows just how quickly sentiment has shifted from fear to extreme greed.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has warned of secondary sanctions on any third parties attempting business with the Islamic regime, including China. Bessent also insists the Treasury's auction schedule would continue apace even amid the department's buybacks. Germany's finance minister Lars Klingbeil has blamed the global spike in bond yields on the conflict in the Gulf. In crypto news, Bitcoin surges past $80,000 for the first time since mid-May on the back of increased inflows of spot Bitcoin ETFs.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bitcoin is pushing against the $80,000 barrier after one of its strongest weeks in months, driven by improving Treasury-market liquidity, nearly $2 billion in Bitcoin ETF inflows, short liquidations, and a fresh wave of FOMO. Matt explains why $80K could be difficult to break and hold as investors who bought at higher prices finally get a chance to exit, while $90K and $100K could create even larger psychological barriers. The episode also covers the CLARITY Act as a potential September catalyst, Strategy raising roughly $2 billion without buying more Bitcoin, Circle and the continued explosion of stablecoin activity, and huge weekly gains across XRP, Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, and Dogecoin. With the Fear & Greed Index already at 81, Matt remains cautious and says Bitcoin needs to break $80K and hold it before the conversation moves seriously toward $90K and beyond. Happy HODLing.

We also review top ETFs in Healthcare and Biotechnology.We also take a look at the recent rally in Gold, Silver, Goldminers and Cryptocurrencies, will it last?

Bitcoin's rally is accelerating, with BTC climbing toward $78,000 as improving global liquidity, heavy ETF buying, and another massive short squeeze drive the market higher. Matt breaks down roughly $1.6 billion in Bitcoin ETF inflows this week, $3.3 billion in liquidated shorts, and a surge in South Korean retail trading. He also looks at bullish forecasts from Bernstein and Standard Chartered, while questioning whether Bitcoin can break and hold above the psychologically important $80,000 level. The episode also covers Strategy moving back into profit on its massive Bitcoin position, South Korea pushing deeper into tokenized funds and real-world assets, Trump's continued push for the CLARITY Act, and AI use in crypto crime rising sharply. Matt remains cautious despite the sudden return of greed, arguing that the catalysts behind the rally are real, but a powerful bear-market rally still isn't necessarily the beginning of a new bull market.

Bitcoin finally broke out, surging above $70,000 as several catalysts hit at once. Matt looks at Trump's White House meeting with crypto executives, Treasury moves supporting broader liquidity, and a massive short squeeze that wiped out roughly $2.7 billion in bearish positions. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs also brought in about $517 million, while Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Hyperliquid, and other major assets rallied even harder than Bitcoin. The episode also covers crypto stocks ripping alongside the market, continued expansion of XRP and tokenized-asset infrastructure, the CLARITY Act returning to the political conversation, and X reportedly exploring stablecoin payments. Matt remains cautiously bearish despite the rally, arguing that improving global liquidity and Treasury-market conditions are more important to watch than the White House meeting itself.

The Last Trade: BlackRock just cut the IBIT in-kind conversion minimum from $25M to $1M, and Jackson, Michael, and Brian ask whether the post-Cold Card rush out of self-custody and into the ETF is swapping one single point of failure for another. They break down the SEC and OCC moving on tokenized securities and a path for crypto firms to become banks as a Clarity Act plan B, Trump Media stacking real Bitcoin while divesting its other crypto, gold surging toward $4,500, and the wrench-attack reality that makes multi-institution custody matter.---

Suze takes us inside the UK's debanking inquiry. A director and co-founder of Bitcoin Policy UK, she's submitting evidence to Parliament's cross-party inquiry this week, and explains what an APPG can and can't do about banks blocking lawful transactions. The numbers are staggering. The Locked Out report found roughly 40% of payments to exchanges blocked or delayed by UK banks, with one exchange reporting a billion pounds in declined transactions in a single year. All legal transactions. Even the advocates got debanked. Suze's organization goes by BPUK partly because a name containing "Bitcoin" risked losing banking services. A survey found only 14% of firms successfully opened and kept an account with one of the nine largest UK banks. Nick Neuman of Casa surprises the room with a report from inside the Coldcard response: all hands taking calls for a week, helping people rotate keys, and his estimate that far more Bitcoin moved to safety than was stolen. Why multisig held up. Neuman explains why wallets requiring multiple keys haven't been swept: attackers go after single-key wallets first, and unrevealed public keys make paired devices dramatically harder to crack. The takeaway from both hosts: upgrade to multisig. Casa has been debanked twice. When Silicon Valley Bank failed, the company's Bitcoin treasury meant it could keep operating no matter what happened to the account. His advice: keep a backup bank and self-custodied Bitcoin as a stopgap. Does Bitcoin in an ETF still count? The room digs into BlackRock lowering conversion minimums into IBIT, why the conversion mostly runs one direction, and whether Bitcoin keeps its fundamental value if real coins stop circulating. Why self-custody matters to the network, not just to you. Brady walks through the block size wars: holders running nodes are who kept Bitcoin's rules intact, and concentrated custody would hand that influence to a few large institutions. Selling freedom instead of fear. Alec raises the "sovereignty multiple," the positive case for holding your own money, and Suze describes orange-pilling her beautician by paying in Bitcoin: adoption through use, not through warnings. Lebanon, El Salvador, and Liechtenstein. Suze's reporting tour: what a country looks like after banking trust dies, holding two ideas at once about El Salvador, and a breached ownership register as the case against data honeypots.

Greg Foss is back. After stepping away from Twitter and spending time on Nostr, the veteran credit analyst explains what pulled him back: young people reaching for socialism, and credit markets he sees as far less healthy than equities. The credit default swap thesis. Foss walks through his method: take the CDS spread on U.S. government debt, multiply by total obligations including unfunded liabilities, then compare that to Bitcoin's market cap. He flagged his spread number as from memory. Why insurance, not a risk asset. Most holdings are short volatility: when volatility rises, they fall. Foss argues Bitcoin should do the opposite, and credits BlackRock's Larry Fink as one of the few in traditional finance framing it that way. The rate the Fed does not control. Warsh has suggested AI productivity gains leave room to cut. Foss points instead to the 10-year Treasury, set in the open market, which could rise if investors demand more for U.S. credit risk. Credit markets are flashing before equities. A listener asked about widening CDS spreads across AI infrastructure names. Foss compared NVIDIA's vendor financing to Nortel and Lucent in 2000, and pointed to CoreWeave's tight debt service covenant. Banking is a leveraged business. From inside an insolvent Bank of Boston in 1992, Foss saw the math up close: roughly $5 of equity behind every $100 loaned. He argues Bitcoin can act as a safety net against that fragility. Bitcoin mining versus AI data centers. Miners can switch off in seconds and chase stranded energy; AI workloads cannot. Suze raised UK curtailment spending and ERCOT's grid balancing record, and asked whether mining gets built into AI sites. What the ETFs changed. Foss says a Wall Street wrapper was necessary for institutional allocation, while raising the paper Bitcoin question. He runs a 5% of global assets thought experiment, stressing he is not certain it happens. Treasury companies as an evolution, not an endpoint. Foss says he admires Michael Saylor without admiring every lever pulled, notes the premium to underlying Bitcoin has collapsed toward parity, and expects these vehicles to matter less over time. Bitcoin as collateral, and pensions inching in. Foss calls Bitcoin pristine collateral and a natural extension of lending. Dom described recommending it to pension boards years ago and pointed to a Michigan 13F filing adding to its position.

On this episode of CoinDesk's Public Keys from the New York Stock Exchange, host Jennifer Sanasie is joined by co-host Tim Grant, CEO of Deus X Capital, to start off the conversation with Strategy President and CEO Phong Le. He explains why he expects Strategy to outperform Bitcoin in the next bull cycle, how its STRC product and "digital credit" framework aim to make Strategy the "JP Morgan of digital finance." Bitwise Asset Management Head of Research Ryan Rasmussen breaks down Q2 earnings from Circle, Galaxy, and American Bitcoin, arguing the market is mis-pricing Circle ahead of a multi-trillion-dollar stablecoin era. Plus, Jennifer and Tim unpack Bitcoin ETF flows, the best week since April at $853 million in net inflows, and Tim lays out his thesis on sovereign AI, data privacy, and where decentralization fits into the next wave of compute. - Learn more at bullish.com. - Register now for CoinDesk's Policy and Regulation event on September 22, 2026: policy-regulation.coindesk.com. - To get market moving news delivered daily, download CoinDesk's mobile app: linktr.ee/coindeskapp. - Chapters/Timecodes: 00:00 Welcome to Public Keys 00:21 Sleepy Markets and 'Groundhog Week' With Tim Grant 02:08 The Coldcard Hack and the Self-Custody Debate 03:15 Strategy's Phong Le Joins Public Keys 03:46 Why Strategy Expects to Beat Bitcoin 04:20 Inside 'STRC' and the Digital Credit Play 09:38 $4.75B in Cash and the Preferred Stock Lesson 11:47 Strategy: 'The Central Bank of Bitcoin' 12:19 Where Strategy's Software Business Fits 14:55 Circle, Galaxy and American Bitcoin Earnings 15:12 Why Bitwise Says Circle Is Mispriced 19:37 Circle's Arc Mainnet and the GENIUS Act 21:07 Galaxy's Pivot From Crypto to AI 24:05 American Bitcoin and the Miner Shakeout 27:41 Trump Ties and CLARITY Act Ethics Risk 30:14 ETF Flows: Bitcoin's Best Week Since April 32:52 Tim Grant on Sovereign AI and Data Privacy

Send us Fan MailInstitutions finally got their Bitcoin ETFs, then many proceeded to buy the top and sell the bottom. That one detail says a lot about how unprepared “professional” money can be in a cyclical crypto market and why investors need a better model for crypto wealth management than a couple of regulated wrappers.I'm joined by Frank Hepworth, founder of New Market Trading, who went from advising major crypto exchanges inside a top securities law firm to building an on-chain digital asset management approach where clients keep custody of their own funds. We break down the three tiers most people confuse: big banks with limited offerings, crypto exchanges with broader access but still mostly off-chain, and the blockchain layer where the full on-chain economy actually lives. If you've wondered why tokenized real world assets and tokenized stocks haven't shown up in your portfolio, Frank's answer is blunt: tokenization is not the real bottleneck when your investment account still runs like a private spreadsheet.From there we get practical about infrastructure: account abstraction, programmable investment accounts, and how limited permissions can let you combine self-custody with professional management. We also talk regulation and mandates, why institutions wait for products like the Bitcoin ETF, what investors miss when they stay passive, and how to think about scams, transparency, and third-party audits in a world full of hype.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on July 27, 2026.

In this episode, Scott and Eric explore: Why "Bitcoin, not crypto" is more than a slogan — and what separates Bitcoin from the ~3,500 other digital assets The two functions of money (store of value vs. medium of exchange) and why no historically "sound" money has existed The 1913 creation of the Fed, the ~97% decline in the dollar's purchasing power, and the 1971 suspension of the gold standard Gold's "weight problem" and how Bitcoin's weightlessness and absolute scarcity are designed to address it What absolute scarcity (21 million cap) means versus gold's supply responsiveness to demand Why family offices think in third-to-fifth-generation terms — for both wealth and values Bitcoin as a "non-sovereign," bottom-up asset that reached regular people before elites Objection handling: volatility, "no intrinsic value," and correlation with the NASDAQ/tech markets Whether correlation invalidates the monetary thesis — and how the "frame" you enter from changes the answer Where Bitcoin sits in its adoption arc: currently more store of value than medium of exchange The self-custody vs. ETF trade-off, including multi-sig setups and downside-risk-mitigated ETF structures Where a skeptical-but-open advisor should begin their due diligence **This is the Optimized Advisor Podcast, where we focus on optimizing the wellbeing and best practices of insurance and financial professionals.

Connect With ChazProfessor Tonya M. Evans graduated from Howard University School of Law, clerked in the Third Circuit, practiced at major law firms in Philadelphia, and is now a full tenured professor at Penn State with a joint appointment in data sciences. She is also a former professional tennis player who played at Northwestern on scholarship, and she is one of the most credible voices in the country on the intersection of law, finance, and emerging technology.Her message to business owners is simple and direct: the big banks are trying to scare you out of a space they are quietly moving into themselves. JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon still calls Bitcoin garbage. JP Morgan is an authorized participant in the Bitcoin ETF. BlackRock, the most conservative investment firm in the world, was first in line to issue a Bitcoin ETF. The little guy is being scared away while institutional money gets positioned.In this conversation with Chaz Wolfe, Prof Tonya breaks down what blockchain actually is in plain language, the three biggest crypto myths holding business owners back, why it is not early but not late, and how to start thinking about Web3 as a business owner even if you never buy a single coin.Key Takeaways:Crypto comes from cryptography. Blockchain is a digital ledger. That is it. When someone starts throwing jargon at you, they are either confused themselves or they want you confused. It is a public record of transactions that no single entity controls.Bitcoin came on the scene January 3rd, 2009. Fewer than 8 percent of people globally hold it. If that is a fad, it is the longest fad and scam in the history of fads and scams.The banks are not scared of crypto because it is dangerous. They are scared because it threatens their dominance. Jamie Dimon calls it garbage while JP Morgan participates in the Bitcoin ETF. Follow the money, not the press release.The biggest mistake most people made in the 2021 crypto run was buying everything because the tide was rising. A rising tide lifts all boats, including the garbage ones. Holding Bitcoin through the crash and not chasing every alt coin is the lesson most people paid dearly to learn.Traditional wealth-building paths are not enough anymore. Max out your 403(b), buy a house, get rental property, ride it out. Prof Tonya followed that playbook as a high-income earner and found herself making all the money and all the mistakes simultaneously.First mover advantage is fleeting. If you are a business owner who has not thought about how blockchain and Web3 will affect your industry, start now. Not because you have to invest, but because the technology is moving with or without your awareness.Decentralized AI is the next frontier. The same centralized model problem that exists in banking is being replicated in artificial intelligence. The business owners who understand decentralization early will have options the others will not.The blockchain is public facing. The Department of Justice uses blockchain forensics regularly to recover millions in assets. It is not anonymous. It is the opposite of a dark market.Stable coins are going to matter more than most people think. For businesses operating globally or in any space without physical borders, a verifiable stable form of digital currency is not optional. It is coming.The mastermind principle applies here too. You do not have to be the expert on everything. You have to get around people who are, stay curious, and keep your saw sharpened.If you are a contractor business owner doing $1M+ and you feel stuck in the day-to-day, we built GTK for you.Through peer mastermind and 1:1 coaching, we help you:increase profitinstall real systemsbuild a team that runs the businessget your time backVisit www.gatheringthekings.com for information on how to apply.Connect with Chaz Wolfe (Host):WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInYouTubeProfit Starts with Better Books!Clean books.

Chasing performance feels like the easiest way to make money—but buying what has already gone up often means arriving late and leaving with less.In this episode of Talking Real Money, Tom and Don examine the “behavior gap”: the difference between an investment's return and what investors actually earn after buying high, selling low, and chasing the latest market story. They explain why disciplined diversification and a sensible asset allocation usually beat a portfolio built around hot ideas.They also answer listener questions about retirement withdrawal order, Roth conversions, reinsurance funds, high investment costs, and whether financial recommendations are influenced by commissions.00:20 Why buying what's hot usually means arriving late01:42 Chasing performance without ever catching it03:03 How Bitcoin rose while Bitcoin ETF investors lost money04:58 The costly confusion between “has gone up” and “is going up”05:53 Morningstar's “Mind the Gap” research06:44 AI, chips, and the latest performance-chasing cycle07:37 Asset allocation versus a collection of hot ideas09:21 Why trying to beat the market often backfires10:16 Listener Question: Retirement accounts and withdrawal order12:29 Taxable, pre-tax, or Roth—which money should come first?15:35 Listener Question: Do reinsurance funds belong in a portfolio?16:58 Catastrophe risk, complexity, and nearly 2% in expenses21:33 Listener Question: Are fund recommendations influenced by compensation?23:27 Why “trust us” isn't a convincing financial argumentQuestions?

On this episode of CoinDesk's Public Keys from the New York Stock Exchange, Jennifer Sanasie is joined by Ben Emons, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of FedWatch Advisors, to break down the market fallout from Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 and why the Fed is now actively debating rate hikes rather than cuts ahead of the August 7th CLARITY Act deadline. Nadine Chakar, Managing Director and Global Head of Digital Assets at DTCC, explains how the firm moved tokenized securities into live production and outlines DTCC's role as an institutional multi-chain orchestrator ahead of a full commercial launch. The conversation turns to ETF flows, where Bitcoin funds finished last week with $76 million in net inflows despite a $425 million outflow on Monday alone, and Ethereum ETFs outpaced Bitcoin inflows led by $135 million into BlackRock's ETHA. Finally, Bilal Little, Global ETF Strategist at Direxion, unpacks the debut of BTCU and EVMU — the industry's first 2x leveraged spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs — explains why an ETF wrapper beats margin on a crypto exchange for retail traders, and responds to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas's thesis that Bitcoin ETFs will mirror gold's 22-year "triumph and pain" trajectory.
