In this episode, Lex chats to Joseph Chalom, CEO of SharpLink, a Nasdaq-listed leader in digital asset treasury management focused on Ethereum. Joseph shares his journey from BlackRock and the Aladdin platform to pioneering digital asset strategies, including staking and tokenization. The discussion explores the evolution of fintech, the integration of crypto into institutional finance, and the future of decentralized finance (DeFi) and AI-powered financial agents. Joseph highlights SharpLink approach to making Ether productive for investors and the growing institutional adoption of blockchain technologies. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS: SharpLink's scale and “productivity” pitch for ETH We hear that SharpLink (Nasdaq listed since July 2025) has raised a little over $3B in equity, holds ~$3B of ETH, and claims it stakes nearly 100% of its ether—framing itself as a public equities “one click” way to get both ETH upside and yield. A rare behind the scenes look at BlackRock's crypto playbook We get specifics on how BlackRock approached digital assets through three pillars—Circle/USDC reserves, the Coinbase integration (announced Aug 4, 2022) to make crypto trading “boring” for institutions, and tokenization via BUIDL on Ethereum with Securitize, which he calls the largest tokenized fund. The next wave thesis AI agents + Ethereum rails Chalom argues the underestimated unlock is autonomous AI agents using Ethereum for programmable settlement, continuously reallocating capital across staking, lending, liquidity, and DeFi while monitoring smart contract risk—replacing manual “yield farming” with always on optimization.

Crypto feels cooked in 2026, and the Super Bowl proves it. Ryan and David unpack Coinbase's Backstreet Boys rug pull ad and what it reveals about crypto's collapsed public narrative. Then they dig into the brutal selloff, why IBIT's record volume hints at forced TradFi liquidation, and what Polymarket is pricing for Bitcoin under $50K. From Robinhood's prediction markets exploding into a real revenue engine to the political fight over who regulates “gambling vs markets,” the thesis is clear: finance is the only use case still scaling. Plus: LayerZero's new “world computer” L1, MegaETH and Aztec's bear market launch playbook, Vitalik finally calling ETH a store of value, ENS staying on L1, BlackRock bringing BUIDL to Uniswap, and the weirdest loose end of all, SBF's missing tungsten cube. ---

Global markets are leaning into growth. Following the upside surprise in U.S. non-farm payrolls — with 130,000 jobs added and unemployment falling to 4.3% — investors are focusing on economic resilience rather than fading hopes of aggressive rate cuts. MSCI's All-World index is trading near record highs, while South Korea's Kospi has crossed 5,500 for the first time. Attention now turns to initial jobless claims and the upcoming CPI print, which could shape expectations for the Federal Reserve's June decision. CME FedWatch odds for a rate hold have climbed to 40%. In the UK, GDP expanded just 0.1% in Q4, while industrial production fell unexpectedly. Meanwhile, Nuveen has agreed to acquire asset manager Schroders for $13.5 billion. In digital assets, crypto markets remain steady despite Blockfills halting withdrawals. BlackRock is deepening its move into tokenized finance, bringing its Treasury-backed BUIDL token to Uniswap through Securitize. Court drama surrounding FTX has resurfaced, and Kraken has replaced its CFO ahead of its public listing. A busy macro backdrop with institutional crypto developments accelerating beneath the surface.

In this episode, recorded live at Buidl Europe 2026, host Sebastian Couture leads a panel with Ben Lakoff (Bankless Ventures), Richard Muirhead (Fabric Ventures), Aurora Orellana (G20 Strategies), and Matthew Arrow (Dark Forest). Together, they tackle the existential question facing the industry: can Cypherpunk values like self-custody and permissionless survive as multi-billion dollar institutions become the primary drivers of adoption?The discussion delves into the tension between individual sovereignty and the regulatory reach of organizations like the FATF, which they describe as a "Goliath" accountable to no one. They explore the concept of the "DeFi Mullet" a centralized user interfaces powered by decentralized backends and how privacy tech is becoming essential not for institutions seeking defensible competitive moats. Finally, the conversation looks at how global competition between jurisdictions will define the next decade of financial freedom and what it truly means to be a Cypherpunk in 2026.

BlackRock's Head of Crypto Robbie Mitchnick joins Ryan to unpack how institutions are actually allocating (and why correlation to “digital gold” matters), what the ETF data says about demand for BTC and ETH, and why the October leverage flush didn't dent long-term adoption. We dig into BlackRock's tokenization roadmap, from the BUIDL-style tokenized money market funds and the Genius Act angle to the stablecoin flywheel, plus what's still missing: secondary liquidity and pragmatic regulatory clarity. Robbie lays out a realistic 24–36 month path, a 2026 “show-me” phase for real utility, and candid advice for allocators on sizing and asset selection. ------
BlackRock ziet een grote toekomst voor de tokenisering van financiële producten. Topman Larry Fink sprak bij CNBC over “de tokenization of all assets” en noemde het een ontwikkeling die de financiële wereld ingrijpend zal veranderen. Tokenisering maakt het mogelijk om bestaande bezittingen of rechten digitaal te vertegenwoordigen op een blockchain. Denk aan aandelen, obligaties, vastgoed of zelfs fiatgeld. Deze digitale tokens zijn sneller te verhandelen, kunnen worden opgesplitst in kleine stukjes en zijn transparanter omdat eigendom direct in de technologie wordt vastgelegd. BlackRock heeft inmiddels een eigen tokenized fonds in de markt gezet, het BUIDL-fonds, en ook andere grote instellingen zoals JPMorgan, Siemens en Franklin Templeton werken met deze technologie. Fink verwacht dat tokenisering de drempel verlaagt voor beleggers en financiële processen efficiënter maakt. De cryptomarkt kende ondertussen een zware periode. Na het forse koersverlies van twee weken geleden daalde de prijs van bitcoin opnieuw. Portfoliomanager Tim Stolte van Amdax ziet dat beleggers moeite hebben hun vertrouwen terug te vinden. De verkoopdruk bij altcoins was nog sterker, met flinke verliezen over de hele linie. Toch lijkt de markt zich langzaam te stabiliseren. De vraag is vooral of de opwaartse trend op langere termijn nog wel standhoudt. Verder kwam deze week het nieuws dat Amerikaanse autoriteiten een recordhoeveelheid bitcoins hebben in beslag genomen. Het gaat om ruim 127.000 bitcoin, met een waarde van zo’n 14 miljard dollar. De coins waren afkomstig van een crimineel netwerk onder leiding van de Chinees-Cambodjaanse zakenman Chen Zhi, dat wereldwijd actief was in beleggingsfraude, mensenhandel en witwassen. De opbrengsten van deze activiteiten werden omgezet in bitcoin om sporen te wissen. Via blockchainanalyse wist justitie de fondsen te herleiden en in beslag te nemen. De bitcoins worden voorlopig beheerd door de Amerikaanse overheid en later waarschijnlijk verkocht via officiële veilingen. Omdat de verkoop in tranches zal plaatsvinden, wordt geen groot prijseffect verwacht. Co-host is Raoul Esseboom.

What does BlackRock's former crypto lead see in Ethereum that others still miss? Joseph Chalom joins Bankless to take us inside the IBIT/ETHA ramp, why BUIDL launched on Ethereum mainnet, and the simple—but powerful—framework he uses to value ETH as “high-octane money.” We break down staking inside ETFs, the tokenization roadmap from stablecoins to the S&P in your wallet, and the real mechanics of ETH treasury companies—mNAV premiums, ATMs, converts, and the transparency metrics that matter. Less hype, more architecture: if security, liquidity, and 24/7 settlement are the future, this is the bridge. ---
In this insightful episode of Kiln DeFi Rendez-Vous, host Laszlo Szabo, CEO & Co-Founder at Kiln, sits down with Duncan Moir, President of 21Shares, the world's largest crypto ETP issuer, for a deep dive into the explosive growth of Bitcoin ETFs, the evolving landscape of institutional crypto adoption, and what's next for digital asset investing.Less than a year after their launch, Bitcoin ETFs have captured nearly 70% of the trading volume of gold ETFs (GLD)—a staggering milestone that underscores the pent-up demand for crypto exposure in traditional finance. Duncan breaks down why this is just the beginning, with the $40 trillion US pension fund market still largely on the sidelines.The conversation explores how major players like Goldman Sachs are entering the space, why Ethereum ETFs haven't seen the same success as Bitcoin (yet), and the critical role of staking in ETPs—especially in Europe, where 21Shares has pioneered innovative products. Duncan shares his unique perspective on regulation, from the UK's recent shift allowing retail crypto ETNs to the SEC's cautious approach in the US.With over 40 crypto ETPs under its belt, 21Shares has become a bellwether for institutional crypto adoption. Duncan reveals how the company selects new assets, from blue-chip tokens to emerging altcoins, and why Dogecoin—often dismissed as a memecoin—has surprising institutional potential. He also discusses the growing intersection of traditional finance and on-chain assets, including the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) like BlackRock's BUIDL money market fund.Before joining 21Shares, Duncan spent years in hedge funds and asset management, eventually leading Aberdeen's digital asset division and serving on the board of Hedera Hashgraph. He shares lessons from his journey, including how blockchain can streamline archaic financial systems and why crypto is maturing beyond speculative trading into a strategic portfolio allocation.PODCAST INFO:

In today's episode, we cover how regulation meets the greater crypto economy.Treasury tokens have evolved from concept to reality, now trading actively in DeFi markets with BlackRock and Securitize leading the transformation. By converting U.S. treasuries into blockchain assets with institutional backing, they're laying groundwork for wider adoption.We sat down with Robinson Burkey, Co-Founder & CCO of Wormhole and Carlos Domingo, CEO of Securitize to go over how utility drives this innovation through cross-chain accessibility and DeFi integration, establishing these tokens as foundational collateral infrastructure. Robinson highlights seamless cross-chain movement as being critical, while Carlos points out institutions shift from viewing blockchain as merely an efficiency tool to seeing it as an opportunity engine.Though regulatory, KYC, and institutional barriers persist, the momentum continues building.
