In this episode of the Milk Road Show, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan and Head of Research Ryan Rasmussen lay out their Top 10 predictions for 2026, and the message is clear: crypto is leaving its speculative adolescence and entering institutional adulthood.~~~~~

In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Bitwise Head of Research Ryan Rasmussen breaks down why crypto markets feel weak despite historic progress in regulation, ETFs, and institutional access. He highlights a major disconnect between price action and fundamentals, pointing to record ETF inflows—especially into Solana—as evidence of long-term conviction. Ryan makes a strong case for crypto indexing, arguing that broad exposure consistently outperforms asset picking for both advisors and retail investors. Looking ahead to 2026, he outlines a bullish outlook driven by regulatory clarity, tokenization, DeFi's resurgence, and growing adoption across both crypto assets and equities.Check out Gemini Exchange: https://gemini.comCheck out TruDiagnostic and use my code CRYPTO101 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comCheck out Quince: https://quince.com/CRYPTO101Get immediate access to my entire crypto portfolio for just $1.00 today! Get your FREE copy of "Crypto Revolution" and start making big profits from buying, selling,Get immediate access to my entire crypto portfolio.. just $1.00 today!

Ryan and David skip a quiet holiday weekly rollup and instead break down the biggest 2026 crypto forecasts from Bitwise, Coinbase, Galaxy, Grayscale, CoinShares, Fidelity, a16z, and Pantera. They lay out the clearest consensus, stablecoins as real payment rails, tokenization scaling beyond pilots, and ETFs expanding institutional access, then hit the big debates around regulation, prediction markets, token value capture, and the growing quantum question for Bitcoin. ------

In this episode of Coin Stories, Natalie Brunell and Strategy CEO Phong Le discuss why Bitcoin adoption is accelerating, even as market sentiment turns cautious. Phong explains how Strategy thinks about long-term fundamentals, stable yield above inflation, and why access to sound money should be available to everyone. Topics include: Strategy's "USD reserve" and addressing the FUD around dividend payments Why Bitcoin fundamentals matter more than short-term price action STRC: A 10.75% yielding "bank account" product: what it is and who it's for Banks coming into Bitcoin: custody, services, and why legacy finance is moving in now Phong Le's refugee-to-CEO story — and how that shapes his view of money, freedom, and resilience Follow Phong Le and Strategy on X at https://x.com/Strategy  ---- Order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," a simple introduction to Bitcoin and what's broken in our current financial system: https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU  ---- Coin Stories is powered by Gemini.

Bitwise's Matt Hougan and Ryan Rasmussen return with 10 big predictions for 2026. From the case for $1M BTC (and why the classic four-year cycle may be dead) to a world where ETFs soak up more than 100% of new BTC/ETH/SOL supply. We get into Bitcoin volatility vs. mega-cap tech, crypto equities vs. tech equities, and why Polymarket could smash past its 2024 election-era highs. Plus: stablecoins as an “escape valve” that emerging economies may blame for currency stress, on-chain also known as “ETFs 2.0,” and how the Clarity Act could be the starter's gun for ETH and SOL to run. ------

In this episode of Coin Stories, Natalie Brunell sits down with Keonne Rodriguez, CEO of Samourai Wallet, for a wide-ranging — and tough — conversation ahead of Keonne beginning a five-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to operate a money transmitting business while knowing the business transmitted criminal proceeds. Natalie asks Keonne on the government's case, including prosecutors' claims that Samourai's coin-mixing tools amounted to "money laundering," and allegations that he encouraged criminals to use the platform. Keonne responds with his philosophical and practical defense of financial privacy, the distinction between self-custody and the traditional banking system, and what's at stake if privacy tools are effectively outlawed. We discuss: Why financial privacy is a human right — and where the line is drawn Bitcoin self-custody vs surveillance finance What coin mixing is, and why prosecutors call it "money laundering" The allegations that Samourai facilitated or encouraged illicit activity What the loss of privacy means for freedom in a digital world Petition: https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-tools  ---- Order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," a simple introduction to Bitcoin and what's broken in our current financial system: https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU    —— Coin Stories is powered by Gemini.
