The race for Bitcoin supremacy just got more complicated. Twenty One Capital, backed by Tether, SoftBank, and Cantor Fitzgerald, plans to stack as much BTC as it possibly can. But is this new venture really about Bitcoin … or about creating a hyper-volatile stock to play market cycles? This week on Unchained, Jeff Park of Bitwise and Mark Palmer of Benchmark join to discuss: Why SoftBank and Tether are a “perfect match”—and why they turned to Bitcoin How volatility, not bitcoin itself, might be the real asset investors are buying What Cantor's involvement says about Wall Street's readiness for crypto Why the launch timing matters Whether Twenty One could repeat MicroStrategy's mistakes Whether these new Bitcoin vehicles are better bets than spot bitcoin or ETFs Plus, is SoftBank getting into crypto a top signal?
De Nederlandse bank ING werkt naar verluidt aan de ontwikkeling van een eigen stablecoin. Volgens ingewijden die met Coindesk spraken, zou ING samenwerken met andere organisaties om de munt op te zetten. De timing lijkt niet toevallig: banken zien steeds meer kansen in het aanbieden van digitale valuta die gekoppeld zijn aan stabiele onderliggende waarden, zoals de euro. Een stablecoin is een type cryptomunt dat zijn waarde ontleent aan bijvoorbeeld een nationale munt, waardoor prijsschommelingen zoveel mogelijk worden beperkt. Voor traditionele banken zoals ING is het aantrekkelijk om hiermee aan de slag te gaan, omdat stablecoins een brug slaan tussen het bestaande financiële systeem en de opkomende digitale economie. Bovendien maakt Europese regelgeving de weg vrij voor banken om stablecoins aan te bieden binnen een gereguleerd kader. ING zou de stablecoin samen ontwikkelen met andere Europese banken, maar het landschap wordt steeds competitiever. Verschillende partijen, waaronder Circle met de euro-gedekte EURC, hebben al een sterke positie opgebouwd. Ook Stripe mengt zich in de stablecoinmarkt. De betalingsprovider is een pilot gestart gericht op bedrijven buiten de Verenigde Staten, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en de Europese Unie. Stripe wil daarmee markten bedienen waar het traditionele financiële systeem minder goed ontwikkeld is, waardoor stablecoins extra aantrekkelijk zijn. De stap van een grote speler als Stripe onderstreept dat stablecoins steeds serieuzer worden genomen binnen de fintechwereld. Dit kan op termijn impact hebben op bestaande betaalnetwerken, omdat stablecoins directe en snelle transacties mogelijk maken zonder tussenkomst van traditionele banken of kaartmaatschappijen. In Abu Dhabi kwamen vannacht berichten naar buiten over een nieuwe stablecoin die wordt ontwikkeld door het staatsbeleggingsfonds, de grootste bank van het land en een grote investeringsmaatschappij. De munt zal worden gedekt door de Dirham, de nationale valuta van de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten. Dit initiatief laat zien dat de Emiraten hun ambities op het gebied van crypto verder opschroeven en zichzelf willen positioneren als een belangrijke speler in de wereldwijde digitale economie. In de prijsanalyse bespreken we met Tim Stolte, portfolio manager bij Amdax en analist bij Een Nieuwe Koers, de flinke prijsstijging van Bitcoin die volgde op de politieke rust die eind vorige week terugkeerde. Hoewel Bitcoin kortstondig hard steeg, is het volgens Tim te vroeg om grote conclusies over de langetermijntrend te trekken. Daarnaast lijkt er meer risicobereidheid in de markt te zijn, gezien ook altcoins en memecoins in de lift zitten. Verder bespreken we de samenwerking van Tether, Softbank, Bitfinex en Cantor Fitzgerald onder de naam Twenty One Capital. Zij willen gezamenlijk grote hoeveelheden bitcoin opkopen en via een beursnotering verdere investeerders aantrekken. De aanpak doet denken aan de strategie van Microstrategy. Opvallend is de prominente rol van Tether en de betrokkenheid van Cantor Fitzgerald, waarbij de familiebanden van de CEO en de Amerikaanse overheid niet onbesproken blijven. Dat ook Softbank zich nu nadrukkelijker in de cryptowereld begeeft, toont dat de sector steeds meer grote institutionele spelers aantrekt. Gasten Paul Buitink Links ING werkt aan eigen stablecoin?

Donald Trump zette met zijn ‘liberation day’ en daaropvolgende acties de geopolitieke verhoudingen op scherp. Hoe moeten we ons navigeren in deze onzekere tijden? En welke rol spelen goud en Bitcoin daarbij? Te gast is Lex Hoogduin, Emiritus Hoogleraar, voormalig directeur bij DNB en voorzitter van het Mises Instituut Nederland. De rente op Amerikaanse staatsleningen blijft hardnekkig hoog en aandelenbeurzen staan onder druk. Productie die teruggehaald moest worden naar de VS stagneert en eerdere plannen lijken af te brokkelen. In Nederland noemde voormalig DNB-president Nout Wellink Trump een ‘politieke en economische terrorist’ in de Holland Gold-podcast, een uitspraak die hij vervolgens herhaalde bij Buitenhof. Tegelijk rijst de vraag hoe Europa moet reageren: door handelstarieven te verhogen, nauwer samen te werken met China of via nieuwe initiatieven zoals ReArm Europe en eurobonds. De aanval van Trump op Fed-voorzitter Jerome Powell zette de onafhankelijkheid van centrale banken ter discussie. Met nog een jaar te gaan in zijn termijn blijft de druk op Powell groot. Ondertussen groeit de Amerikaanse staatsschuld verder en klinken er steeds meer vragen over de houdbaarheid van de dollar als wereldreservemunt. Alternatieven voor het mondiale geldsysteem worden steeds vaker genoemd. Ook het rentebeleid van de ECB blijft onzeker. Hoewel recent nog een renteverlaging werd doorgevoerd, wordt een renteverhoging later dit jaar steeds waarschijnlijker. Goud stijgt ondertussen in rap tempo. Tegelijk ontstaan twijfels over de betrouwbaarheid van goudreserves, onder meer door opmerkingen van Elon Musk over Fort Knox en zorgen over Europese goudvoorraden die in New York liggen opgeslagen. Bitcoin beweegt intussen mee met de onrust op financiële markten en lijkt steeds meer een rol te vervullen als alternatief voor traditionele assets. De opbouw van een strategische bitcoinreserve door de Verenigde Staten roept de vraag op of landen die achterblijven een risico lopen. Ook centrale banken bewegen. In Tsjechië sprak de directeur zich positief uit over Bitcoin als onderdeel van de nationale reserves. Ondertussen ontstaan er nieuwe initiatieven waarin bedrijven, vaak met geleend geld, Bitcoin op de balans zetten. Stablecoinuitgever Tether, Softbank, Bitfinex en zakenbank Cantor Fitzgerald lanceerden onlangs 21 Capital, een vehikel dat uitsluitend Bitcoin koopt. Vergelijkingen met vroegere goudreserves worden steeds vaker gemaakt. De blik op het komende jaar blijft onzeker. Financiële en geopolitieke spanningen zetten de toon, en de rol van alternatieve assets als goud en Bitcoin lijkt alleen maar groter te worden. Co-host is Paul Buitink, managing director van Holland Gold.

Today we discuss the launch of 21 Capital, something everyone's talking about, but no one's actually explaining. The headlines are full of noise, but the real story is deeper and way bigger than most people realize. We'll break down what's really going on behind the scenes: why Cantor Fitzgerald, Tether, SoftBank, and Jack Mallers are teaming up, what 21 Capital's true business model is likely to be, and how it could completely reshape Bitcoin's role in finance. No hype, no clickbait, and no half-baked opinions just well-formed, logical answers based on facts, connections, and the real incentives driving this move. … Continue reading →
A new company called Twenty One is making waves—with a launch strategy that echoes Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), a cap table that includes Tether, SoftBank, and Cantor Fitzgerald, and a plan to acquire more Bitcoin than anyone else. They're starting with 42,000 BTC, worth nearly $4 billion, and they've hinted they'll use convertible debt, equity raises, and other market mechanics to buy more. But is this just a smarter MicroStrategy? Or a recipe for financial reflexivity gone wrong? In this episode, Matthew Sigel, head of digital assets research at VanEck, digs into: How the strategy works and why it could break What happens if the stock trades below NAV Why timing the market may be a feature, not a bug And whether this signals a new phase in corporate Bitcoin exposure Sigel also shares a bold idea for “BIT Bonds” that could let the U.S. Treasury issue Bitcoin-linked government debt. Could it work? Plus, Unchained regulatory reporter Veronica Irwin talks about her scoop that we might see a crypto market structure bill as early as this week.

De cryptomarkt kende deze week een opvallende opleving. De koers van Bitcoin steeg naar 94.200 dollar, zo’n veertien procent hoger dan een week eerder. Het blijft lastig te verklaren waar die stijging precies vandaan komt, maar het lijkt erop dat beleggers opnieuw het vertrouwen vinden in Bitcoin als digitaal goud. Tegelijkertijd doen ook andere risicovolle beleggingen het goed. Tweede Paasdag viel extra op: terwijl de Amerikaanse aandelenmarkten onder druk stonden, maakte Bitcoin juist een sprong van vier procent. Ook altcoins lieten zich van hun beste kant zien, met Solana en Dogecoin als belangrijkste uitschieters, wat duidt op een flinke toename van de risicobereidheid onder beleggers. De Trump Coin trok deze week ook veel aandacht. De prijs van de token steeg woensdag met bijna zeventig procent, nadat bekend werd dat de 220 grootste bezitters van de munt zijn uitgenodigd voor een diner met voormalig president Trump. Dit slimme marketingoffensief viel samen met de uitgifte van driehonderd miljoen dollar aan nieuwe munten op 18 april. De familie Trump en het team achter de token kunnen door deze strategie op termijn miljarden dollars incasseren, zij het geleidelijk. Inmiddels schommelt de prijs van de Trump Coin rond de twaalf dollar, fors lager dan het hoogtepunt van 73 dollar in januari. De markt kijkt uit naar de beelden van het exclusieve diner in Washington, waar cryptomiljonairs samenkomen met de voormalige president. Opvallend nieuws kwam er ook van vier grote financiële partijen: Tether, Softbank, Bitfinex en Cantor Fitzgerald werken samen aan een investeringsvehikel voor Bitcoin met een waarde van drie miljard dollar. Het nieuwe bedrijf, dat de naam 21 Capital moet krijgen, wordt naar verwachting beursgenoteerd en vormt daarmee een serieuze concurrent voor Microstrategy, het bedrijf van Michael Saylor. Microstrategy staat bekend om zijn strategie om via leningen en aandelenuitgiftes zoveel mogelijk bitcoin op de balans te zetten, met inmiddels meer dan vijftig miljard dollar aan bitcoin in bezit. Of 21 Capital dezelfde koers gaat varen, valt nog te bezien, maar Cantor Fitzgerald is van plan om via de markt 550 miljoen dollar op te halen voor bitcoin-aankopen, terwijl Tether, Softbank en Bitfinex gezamenlijk bijna drie miljard dollar investeren. De betrokkenheid van de zoon van minister van Economische Zaken Howard Lutnick bij Cantor Fitzgerald roept vragen op over de gunstige omstandigheden waaronder het bedrijf opereert. In het verlengde daarvan is de benoeming van Paul Atkins als nieuwe voorzitter van de Amerikaanse beurswaakhond SEC van groot belang. Zijn installatie markeert een breuk met het beleid van voorganger Gary Gensler, die bekendstond als streng voor de cryptosector. Atkins, door voormalig president Trump voorgedragen, benadrukte bij zijn aantreden het belang van duidelijke regelgeving voor de cryptowereld. In de aanloop naar zijn benoeming trok de SEC al diverse rechtszaken tegen cryptobedrijven in. Verwacht wordt dat het klimaat voor grote cryptobedrijven in de Verenigde Staten onder Atkins verder zal verbeteren. Deze week in de CryptocastEen gesprek met Dennis Post, belasting- en blockchainexpert bij EY. We hebben het over een nieuwe Europese richtlijn, DAC8. Die verplicht crypto-dienstverleners om gegevens over al jouw transacties te delen met de belastingdienst. Het doel is dan: belastingontduiking aanpakken, maar de echte boeven vang je er niet mee en de vraag is ook wat de belastingdienst moet met die miljoenen transacties, die dan over de schutting gekieperd worden.

In this episode, Rick boards the F-bomb train to lead us into the unsettling world of Howard Lutnick, the billionaire CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald and Donald Trump's Secretary of Commerce - and the most hated man on Wall Street (and that's a high bar). Lutnick's MAGA superpower is his willingness to destroy the global economy and ensure abject financial misery for most Americans in exchange for kudos from his favorite special guy. Kidding aside, there is almost no cleaner parallel to the fealty authoritarian regimes require than Howard Lutnick. The damage his loyalty-over-competence approach threatens the global order, American power, and our democratic institutions. That means it also threatens your job, your financial well-being, and the future security of your family. As Rick says, Lutnick is building a temple of stupid on top of a mountain of burning tires.

Q2 2025 has already begun, but public markets reporting has only just finished with Q4 2024. To tie a bow on Q4 2024, we are thankful to have Troy Jensen (Managing Director, Cantor Fitzgerald) return and join Danny Piper (Managing Partner, NewCap Partners) for Printing Money Episode 27. Danny and Troy kick off this episode discussing themes they've noticed in public and private additive manufacturing (AM) markets as 2024 completed and 2025 began. It's mentioned later in the episode, but you might say there's a FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) factor hanging over the industry—further exacerbated by global macro issues. Looking through these “FUD-dy” lenses, Danny and Troy then move on to the 2024 annual 3D printing market data reports recently issued by AM Research and AMPOWER. How well did these reports sync with what our esteemed host and guest are seeing in their worlds? Then, Danny and Troy dive into what this quarterly check-in is all about—the quarterly reporting from the publicly traded AM companies. Fact is, there are fewer public companies out there nowadays, and even fewer that are reporting their numbers with regularity. So, Episode 27 is relatively brief, but chock full of value.

This Flashback Friday is from episode 289, published last December 18, 2012. Coming to us from London, Max Keiser joins Jason Hartman for a fast-paced interview about what is going on in our world with GDP, the debt ceiling and debt loads, gold and silver markets, and currency collapse. Max is the host of “The Oracle with Max Keiser” for BBC World News and the author of the Keiser Report. Jason and Max discuss how long the world governments can put off the inevitable collapse of the fiat money produced by the central banks. Max talks about the various currencies around the world and which countries are set to implode. Other topics that Max covers are countries that are losing their sovereignty, basically being held hostage and managed by entities outside of their own country, such as the IMF and Central Banks, how bonds play a role in this issue, and the edging toward a global tax. Max talks about the many ways that the world is being led into a globalized currency, which is not a theory, but happening in real time. In addition to hosting the show and authoring the Kesier Report, Max is a blogger for the Huffington Post, and he has also presented features for the “People and Power” new magazine series on Aljazeera English. Max Keiser is the creator, co-founder and former CEO of HSX Holdings/Hollywood Stock Exchange, later sold to Cantor Fitzgerald. He is also the co-founder of HSX films that went on to make almost a dozen films, including "Mixed Signals," "Six-String Samurai," "Dancer, Texas Pop. 81," and "girl." The company was then sold to Ignite Entertainment/Lionsgate. Max designed, scoped, and built the Hollywood Stock Exchange with Michael Burns. Max was awarded a US patent (number 5950176) for the 'Virtual Specialist Technology" on which the Hollywood Stock Exchange operates. He created virtual securities; MovieStocks, and StarBonds and created the first fully convertible virtual currency, the Hollywood Dollar. The Hollywood Stock Exchange remains the highest volume stock exchange in the world.

Biopharma's reaction to the forced resignation of venerable CBER director Peter Marks has been swift and furious, with former FDA Commissioner Robert Califf saying on LinkedIn that “the FDA as we've known it is finished.” Analysts, meanwhile, called Marks' exit “arguably biotech investors' greatest fear,” as company shares across the industry tumbled. Marks' announcement added insult to injury for the agency, which was already reeling from the announced cuts of 10,000 employees across the Department of Health and Human Services, including 3,500 FDA staffers. Those layoffs began to roll out on Tuesday as some employees showed up to work only to discover they no longer had a job. Amid all this chaos, Cantor Fitzgerald analysts called for Kennedy himself to get the axe, saying in part that he was “undermining the trusted leadership of health care in this country.” Despite the turmoil, drug development continues in the obesity space, with Novo Nordisk presenting mixed data from its semaglutide franchise at the American College of Cardiology's annual conference last weekend. While an oral version of the blockbuster drug showed cardiovascular benefits for some patients, it failed to change the trajectory of other major adverse cardiovascular events. Meanwhile, Novo continues its battle against compounding pharmacies manufacturing copycat versions of semaglutide—as multiple players scramble for a piece of this massive pie. On the Alzheimer's front, Eli Lilly's Kisunla failed last week to win the recommendation of the EU's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use. This decision is consistent with CHMP's recent stance on anti-amyloid antibodies, as Biogen and Eisai have also struggled to get Leqembi approved in Europe. On a positive note, pharma R&D returns grew again in 2024, but Deloitte warned that this progress is “fragile.” The firm urged companies to be bold and embrace cutting edge technology like gene therapy and AI. These returns can't help everyone, however, as the past week has seen an uptick in layoffs across biopharma, including at Carisma Therapeutics, Organon and Tenaya Therapeutics. Finally, as April kicks off cancer conference season, BioSpace took a deep dive into the recent action in the always-hot in radiopharmaceuticals space.

This Day in Legal History: Nuclear Non-Proliferation TreatyOn March 5, 1970, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) officially took effect, marking a major milestone in global efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. The treaty, first opened for signatures in 1968, was ratified by 43 nations and established a framework based on three core principles: non-proliferation, disarmament, and the peaceful use of nuclear energy. Under its terms, nuclear-armed states agreed not to transfer nuclear weapons or technology to non-nuclear states, while non-nuclear countries pledged not to pursue nuclear weapons. In return, signatories were guaranteed access to nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, such as power generation and medical research. The treaty also called for eventual nuclear disarmament, though progress on this front has been slow and uneven. The NPT has since become one of the most widely adhered-to arms control agreements, with 191 countries now party to it. However, key states like India, Pakistan, and Israel never joined, while North Korea withdrew in 2003. The treaty's effectiveness has been challenged by nuclear programs in states like Iran and North Korea, as well as concerns over compliance by nuclear-armed signatories. Despite these challenges, the NPT is reviewed every five years at Review Conferences, where nations assess progress and negotiate future commitments. The treaty remains central to international non-proliferation efforts, balancing national security interests with the goal of reducing nuclear threats worldwide.In his primetime address to Congress, President Donald Trump defended his aggressive tariff policies, claiming they would generate significant revenue and restore economic balance. He downplayed concerns over rising consumer prices, characterizing them as a temporary inconvenience. While Trump briefly addressed inflation, blaming high costs on his predecessor, he provided few concrete solutions. Instead, he focused on politically charged topics like immigration and cultural issues, declaring an end to "wokeness." His speech coincided with growing economic concerns, including stagnating factory activity and declining consumer confidence, while markets reacted negatively to escalating trade tensions. New tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China sparked fears of inflation and economic slowdown, though his administration suggested potential relief for North American allies. Trump also called for the repeal of the Chips Act, arguing tariffs were more effective in boosting domestic industry. He promoted energy independence but proposed long-term projects unlikely to have an immediate impact. Meanwhile, his executive actions have rapidly reshaped government policies, sparking bipartisan concerns. The speech underscored Trump's efforts to push his economic agenda while navigating political and economic challenges.Trump Hails Tariffs as US Economy Barrels Into Trade WarsThe U.S. Tax Court ruled that a $3.1 million grant given to a Cantor Fitzgerald subsidiary after the Sept. 11 attacks is taxable income. The grant, provided in 2007 through New York City's World Trade Center Job Creation and Retention Program, was meant to help businesses recover, but the court determined it did not qualify as a tax-exempt gift or disaster aid. Despite this, the court waived $211,000 in penalties, acknowledging the complexity of tax laws at the time. Cantor Fitzgerald, which lost 658 employees in the World Trade Center attacks, had argued the funds should not be considered taxable, citing past Supreme Court rulings. However, Judge Kathleen M. Kerrigan found that the payments were not an act of disinterested generosity but an effort to stimulate economic recovery. The IRS had initially determined in 2007 that the company owed about $1.1 million in taxes for not reporting the grant on its tax returns. While Cantor Fitzgerald contested the classification, the court upheld the IRS's position, reinforcing that government aid programs do not automatically qualify for tax exemption.Cantor Fitzgerald's Sept. 11 Relief Grant Deemed Taxable IncomeFederal judges are facing an increase in threats as Elon Musk and Trump allies intensify their attacks on the judiciary over rulings that hinder White House policies. The U.S. Marshals Service has warned judges about heightened security risks, especially as Musk has repeatedly criticized judges on his social media platform, calling them “corrupt” and “evil.” Some judges have received anonymous deliveries, like pizzas, in what authorities see as intimidation tactics. Musk's posts, along with calls from Republican lawmakers to impeach certain judges, have coincided with a rise in violent threats, particularly against judges who have blocked parts of the administration's plans to cut government jobs and aid programs. One judge, Amir Ali, received death threats after ruling against a Trump executive order, with online users calling for his execution. The American Bar Association and the Federal Judges Association have condemned these attacks, warning that continued intimidation could undermine judicial independence. Since 2020, threats against federal judges have more than doubled, and legal experts caution that targeting judges for their rulings could destabilize the rule of law.Exclusive: Judges face rise in threats as Musk blasts them over rulings | ReutersTwo Trump EPA nominees are facing Senate scrutiny over the agency's possible plan to roll back the 2009 “endangerment finding,” which forms the legal basis for regulating greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. The nominees, Aaron Szabo and David Fotouhi, would oversee efforts to reverse this finding, which has supported climate regulations on power plants and vehicle emissions. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has recommended reconsidering the finding to the White House, though details remain undisclosed. While the Supreme Court's 2007 ruling in Massachusetts v. EPA confirmed greenhouse gases as air pollutants, the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act further solidified the EPA's authority. However, the EPA under Trump previously avoided overturning the rule due to industry resistance. Some industry groups, like the Edison Electric Institute, have expressed reliance on EPA authority for emissions regulation, while automakers have yet to take a position. Zeldin acknowledged the EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gases but suggested it is not obligated to do so, fueling debate over the agency's future climate policies.Top EPA nominees face Senate scrutiny over plan to undo key climate finding | Reuters This is a public episode.

No other country is so bird-brained that they'd let their government do this to their food. This is a clucking disaster! 2:52:15Trump's $5 Million AmericanExpress Citizenship Sale! “Gold Card”, “Green Card”, Who Needs VISA to Pay Down Debt For just $5 million, “world-class foreigners” as Trump calls them can buy their way into America, no vetting required—just flash the cash, because only those with high net worth have worth. Trump's tossing out green cards like confetti to anyone with a degree (yes, even basket weaving counts) and upgrading the deal with a luxurious gold card to help “pay down the deficit.” What better way to pay down the debt Trump & Biden doubled in 8 yrs than with a credit card metaphor? Zelensky has more than enough stolen money. He's just the kind of person we want more of.If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-show Or you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to DavidKnight.gold for great deals on physical gold/silverFor 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to TrendsJournal.com and enter the code KNIGHTFor 10% off supplements and books, go to RNCstore.com and enter the code KNIGHTBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-david-knight-show--5282736/support.
