Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, we're joined by Jon Charbonneau and Ryan Watkins to unpack the bombshell news of Robinhood Chain—an Arbitrum-based network debuting tokenized U.S. stocks, 3× crypto perps, and that head-scratching $500 K liquidity cap. From riffing on whether proof-of-stake yields are just “money in a box,” to debating Solana's first U.S. staked ETF, to sizing up the looming perp wars between Robinhood and Coinbase, the crew maps a common thread: corporate chains and regulatory work-arounds are colliding with crypto's decentralization ideals, forcing builders, traders, and even ETF hawks to rethink where real security, fairness, and opportunity will live next. Show highlights

In this series of three interviews from Cannes, we host Vlad Tenev, CEO of Robinhood, Johann Kerbrat, GM of Crypto at Robinhood, and AJ Warner from Arbitrum to explore key announcements from their recent Token Summit. They discuss the introduction of tokenized stock options for private companies like SpaceX and OpenAI, aiming to democratize access for retail investors. Vlad highlights Robinhood's commitment to addressing investment inequities, while Johann shares insights on the technological challenges and their Layer 2 blockchain initiative facilitating 24/7 trading. They also navigate the regulatory landscape with the SEC and CFTC, envisioning a future where private shares become accessible and entrepreneurial capital raising is enhanced. The conversation wraps up with plans to improve user experience for new financial products in Robinhood's evolving crypto offerings. ------

C dans l'air l'invité du 30 juin 2025 avec Michaël Zemmour, enseignant-chercheur à l'université Lumière Lyon-II et économiste au laboratoire d'évaluation des politiques publiques de Sciences-Po.Jeudi, le Premier ministre François Bayrou a énuméré devant la presse les "avancées" permises par les négociations sur les retraites qui pourraient être reprises dans un budget à l'automne. Les syndicats et le patronat réunis en "conclave" n'ont pas trouvé d'accord global sur les retraites, mais ils ont dégagé des compromis sur plusieurs points. Et, vendredi, la CFDT a refusé, à l'instar de la CFTC et de la CFE-CGC, de jouer les prolongations, comme l'avait proposé le Premier ministre la veille.Aujourd'hui dans les Echos, l'ancien Premier ministre Gabriel Attal a dit vouloir en finir avec l'âge de départ unique, une norme devenue inutile selon lui. Le départ à la retraite ne se fixerait que sur la base de la durée de cotisation. Un système financé par une dose de capitalisation : chacun met de côté pour sa future retraite plutôt que de financer celle des retraités actuels. Édouard Philippe lui aussi a vanté les mérites de la capitalisation il y a quelques semaines, et dévoilait aussi les contours de sa réforme des retraites qu'il proposera pour 2027. Alors comment financer durablement notre système de retraites, dont le déficit devrait atteindre près de 15 milliards d'euros en 2035 selon la Cour des comptes ? Michaël Zemmour, enseignant-chercheur à l'université Lumière Lyon-II et économiste au laboratoire d'évaluation des politiques publiques de Sciences-Po, est notre invité.

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 27 juin 2025.Avec cette semaine :Jean-Louis Bourlanges, essayiste.Antoine Foucher, consultant, spécialiste des questions sociales, auteur de Sortir du travail qui ne paie plus.Lucile Schmid, vice-présidente de La Fabrique écologique et membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Esprit.Michaela Wiegel, correspondante à Paris de la Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.LE CONCLAVE SUR LES RETRAITES Le « conclave » sur les retraites, voulu par le Premier ministre pour désamorcer les tensions autour de la réforme de 2023, s'est soldé par un « échec » a annoncé lundi la CFDT, marquant la fin de quatre mois de discussions infructueuses entre partenaires sociaux. Les discussions au sein de ce conclave, qui réunissait le Medef, la CPME (Confédération des petites et moyennes entreprises), la CFDT, la CFE-CGC et la CFTC, visaient à adoucir l'impopularité de la réforme Borne de 2023, qui a relevé l'âge légal de départ à la retraite de 62 à 64 ans. Au-delà des considérations sociales, l'objectif était également d'assurer la pérennité financière d'un système qui anticipe un déficit de 6,6 milliards d'euros en 2030. Pour les organisations patronales, toute concession sur la pénibilité devait s'inscrire dans un cadre garantissant cet équilibre, tandis que les syndicats insistaient sur la nécessité de compenser les carrières hachées et les impacts physiques des métiers les plus exigeants. Sur la question de l'âge, sujet sensible de la réforme Borne, l'hypothèse d'un retour de l'âge légal de départ à la retraite à 62 ans avait pourtant été enterrée par les syndicats. Dans le texte rédigé par l'animateur des débats, les représentants de salariés avaient obtenu le recul de l'âge de la décote (celui à partir duquel les assurés ont droit à une pension à taux plein, même s'ils n'ont pas le nombre de trimestres requis pour y être éligibles) à 66 ans et demi (contre 67 ans aujourd'hui).Selon l'étude Elabe réalisée pour l'Association française de la gestion financière (AFG) dévoilée mardi, les ménages semblent prêts à une vraie évolution du système : 47 % des Français se déclarent en faveur de la généralisation de plans d'épargne retraite par capitalisation en complément du système de retraite par répartition. Les « cadres » sont favorables à cette idée à 65 %, tout comme les ménages avec « une forte capacité d'épargne » à 64 % et les « investisseurs » à 56 %. Seules 18 % des personnes interrogées se montrent réfractaires à l'idée. L'enjeu financier des retraites est considérable : les pensions représentent près de 14% du PIB, 40% de la dépense sociale et un quart de la dépense publique. Le Conseil d'orientation des retraites indique, dans son rapport de juin, que l'évolution des dépenses de retraites « explique à elle seule une grande partie de la progression des dépenses publiques depuis 2002 ». Si le pays peine à financer ses services publics, c'est parce qu'il a préféré ses retraites alors que les évolutions démographiques ont bouleversé l'équilibre : il n'y a plus que 1,7 actif pour 1 retraité, tandis que le ratio était de 4 pour 1 en 1950. Le COR en tire la conclusion qu'il faudra reculer encore l'âge de la retraite.Mercredi, François Bayrou a affirmé que le conclave n'était « pas un échec » et présenté jeudi le résultat des discussions après avoir « tranché » sur« les désaccords ».LA GUERRE USA-IRAN L'attaque américaine, menée dans la nuit de samedi à dimanche derniers sur l'Iran, a été « intentionnellement limitée » à des cibles nucléaires et ne visait pas un changement de régime, a déclaré dimanche le Pentagone. Avec l'opération Midnight Hammer (Marteau de minuit), Donald Trump a exploité une fenêtre d'opportunité après qu'Israël a presque réduit à néant les alliés régionaux de l'Iran (Hamas, Hezbollah) puis les défenses iraniennes. S'il proclame toujours vouloir la paix, Donald Trump n'hésite pas dégainer. Il l'avait fait à trois reprises au cours de son premier mandat : contre la Syrie, après des attaques chimiques, en avril 2017 puis en avril 2018, enfin en ordonnant un assassinat ciblé à Bagdad contre le général iranien Soleimani, chef des forces spéciales des Gardiens de la Révolution, en janvier 2020. Toutefois, jusqu'à dimanche, il s'agissait d'opérations limitées.Dimanche, le président américain a annoncé que les trois sites de Natanz, Fordo et Ispahan avaient été « totalement anéantis ». Une affirmation difficile à confirmer, les cibles étant souterraines. Le général Dan Caine, chef d'état-major des armées américaines s'est montré plus prudent, comme le vice-président JD Vance. Selon les « premières évaluations du champ de bataille », a dit le soldat, les sites visés ont subi « de sévères dommages et destructions ». Un document classé confidentiel du renseignement américain, relayé par CNN et le New York Times, suggère que les frappes américaines sur l'Iran auraient retardé son programme nucléaire de seulement quelques mois, sans le détruire complètement. Jeudi, l'ayatollah Khamenei a affirmé que Donald Trump a « exagéré » l'impact des frappes américaines sur le territoire iranien.En représailles, lundi, l'Iran a attaqué la base aérienne américaine d'Al-Udeid, au Qatar. Treize missiles ont été interceptés sans difficulté selon l'armée, tandis qu'un autre s'écrasait sans dégâts. La base, qui en temps normal accueille près de 10 000 soldats, était très largement dépeuplée. Pour Téhéran, « la priorité était de retrouver les voies de la négociation afin de sauver le régime », estime le chercheur Bernard Hourcade, spécialiste de la République islamique. Selon lui, « les dirigeants iraniens ne voulaient pas couper les ponts avec Donald Trump, car ils savent que c'est lui qui peut arrêter la guerre avec Israël ». Via le Qatar et probablement Oman, Téhéran avait averti les États-Unis de ses tirs de missiles contre la base aérienne américaine, afin qu'il n'y ait pas de victimes. Ce fut le cas.Mardi, Israël et l'Iran ont déclaré accepter l'initiative américaine de cessez-le-feu.Tandis que les membres de l'administration Trump revendiquent une réussite totale, les questions s'accumulent sur le sort des quelque 400 kg d'uranium hautement enrichi dont disposait l'Iran. Cette question sera au centre des négociations qui devraient s'ouvrir prochainement entre l'Iran et les Occidentaux, via l'Agence internationale à l'énergie atomique (l'AIEA), dans l'espoir de tourner durablement la page de la guerre.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

The recent Senate progress on the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act represents major strides toward properly regulating cryptocurrency in the US. The GENIUS Act targets stablecoins, while the CLARITY Act tackles jurisdictional issues between the SEC and CFTC - both crucial bipartisan efforts aimed at strengthening the global legitimacy of the crypto industry. So how does the US regulatory approach compare to proactive regions in Asia, like Hong Kong, which is already pushing for stablecoin clarity?

EPISODE 86 DETAILS Agridime Order To Pay Millions In Cattle Ponzi Scheme A Texas federal court has issued a final judgment against Agridime LLC, a Fort Worth-based company, permanently banning it from commodity trading. The ruling also mandates the company to pay more than $102.9 million in restitution to defrauded customers, according to recent court documents. CFTC Alleges $161 Million Cattle Investment Fraud The final judgment stems from a May 2024 complaint filed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The CFTC alleged that Agridime, along with co-founders Joshua Link and Jed Wood, orchestrated a cattle investment scheme that defrauded over 2,000 individuals out of approximately $161 million. According to the CFTC, Agridime falsely marketed cattle investment opportunities by promising annual returns between 15% and 32% on $2,000 cattle purchases. The company allegedly used funds from new customers to pay existing investors, a structure that resembles a classic Ponzi scheme. Insider Commissions and Misuse of Funds Revealed The court filings also revealed that Agridime insiders diverted approximately $11 million in undisclosed commissions. These insider payments were never disclosed to investors, contributing further to the scheme's deception and financial harm to participants. Agridime Settles Case Without Admitting or Denying Allegations Agridime LLC settled the case with the CFTC without admitting or denying the allegations. As part of the settlement, the company agreed to: Permanent injunctive relief Waiver of its right to appeal A permanent ban from commodity trading Prohibition on soliciting investment funds or acting in any CFTC-registered capacity A ban on publicly denying the CFTC's allegations The company must also ensure that all employees and agents comply with the judgment's terms. Agridime Banned from Commodity Markets for Good With the court's final ruling, Agridime is permanently banned from participating in any form of commodity trading. This includes solicitation of funds, registration with the CFTC, and any related investment activity. The CFTC emphasized that the company's future conduct will be closely monitored to ensure compliance.

« Conclave ». Un terme très ecclésial, repris par le premier ministre François Bayrou. Constatant l'impasse de la réforme des retraites votée en 2023, le premier ministre a proposé aux syndicats et au patronat de se réunir, depuis février, pour négocier une version 2 de cette loi controversée. Inspirées de la réunion des cardinaux pour élire le pape, ces discussions à huis clos arrivent aujourd'hui à leur terme. Pénibilité, usure professionnelle, emploi des senior. et bien sur l'inévitable question de l'âge de départ. Les échanges semblent se heurter au vaste problème du financement du système.

After tariffs, policies around crypto currency appear to be a domestic priority for the Trump Administration. As a presidential candidate, Trump vowed to make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world. But some of his moves in crypto – and those of his family – have left even ardent supporters of the sector recoiling. So, what does the U.S. gain from Trump's crypto policies.

On this episode: Cryptocurrency has evolved from a niche experiment into a disruptive force with global implications—and U.S. financial institutions, lawmakers, and regulators are working to establish clear crypto-related policy. In this episode, we unpack the state of crypto policy in 2025: The political realignment around digital assets, the rapid growth of stablecoins, the future of tokenized securities, and the debate over whether the U.S. should adopt a central bank digital currency or establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve. Our guest is former CFTC Chairman Chris Giancarlo , who severed in that position from 2017 to 2019.
