As SpaceX stock soars, we talk IPOs for space and beyond. We also focus on the market's reaction to a new Iran ceasefire agreement, the implications of the highly anticipated SpaceX IPO, and what these developments may signal about broader market conditions. We look over how IPOs have historically performed, why many high-profile offerings struggle after their debut, and whether SpaceX's valuation reflects genuine business fundamentals or investor enthusiasm. We also examined the economic impact of falling oil prices, shifting inflation expectations, upcoming Federal Reserve policy decisions, consumer spending trends, and why correlations often drive market narratives. We discuss... The market's positive reaction to a renewed Iran ceasefire and the resulting drop in oil prices. Breakdown of the SpaceX IPO, its first-day performance, and why retail investors were eager to participate. How IPOs work and why many high-profile offerings historically decline after going public. Why company insiders often choose to take businesses public when valuations are most favorable. Past IPOs including Uber, Meta, Coinbase, Robinhood, and Rivian to illustrate common post-IPO price patterns. Whether SpaceX's valuation is justified by the strength of its Starlink business and launch operations. OpenAI, Anthropic IPO expectations and concerns about AI company valuations. How large IPOs can act as liquidity drains by attracting capital away from existing market leaders. Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire and what that signifies for investor sentiment. How falling energy prices could help reduce inflation and improve economic conditions. Upcoming Federal Reserve leadership changes and expectations for future interest rate policy.

Crypto scams and how to protect yourself with Chainalysis' Eric Jardine. Eric Jardine, Head of Research at Chainalysis, joins Gen C to break down their latest crypto crime report and the staggering numbers of nearly $17 billion stolen in scams in 2025 alone. Eric explains how AI has changed the scam equation by allowing bad actors to hit massive scale without sacrificing quality, why the people executing scams in Southeast Asian compounds are often trafficking victims themselves, and why crypto's measurability is actually an argument in its favor and not against it.

Eric Brown leads Developer Relations at BASE, Coinbase's L2. So when he says the chain sees over $4 trillion in monthly stablecoin payments and 25+ local stablecoins now circulate worldwide, it's worth interrogating closely.Jamie Crypto sits down with Eric at Consensus 2026 for a full read on what's actually shipping on BASE in 2026 — X402 as the default agent-payment rail, sub-cent fees and 5,000 TPS bursts, the Azul upgrade, the AI red team / blue team security flip, and why seven-plus local stablecoins are getting real point-of-sale adoption in South America while the U.S. lags.We cover:- The $4T monthly stablecoin payments figure (Eric's claim)- X402 and ~2M agent transactions in 30 days on BASE- 400M gas per block, sub-tenth-of-a-cent fees, 5,000 TPS bursts- DeFi security after a brutal month of hacks — AI's role on both sides- Why the agentic cohort is "completely unbanked already"- Morpho, 4% USDC yields, and what makes an onchain app stickyFilmed at Consensus 2026.Host: Jamie Redman

Vance finally lands the guest he's been chasing for two years — Chris LAS, host of This Week in Bitcoin, the only podcast Vance listens to every single week. They open on an unexpected topic: Chris's fully automated chicken coop, complete with motion sensors, ammonia monitors, automated doors, egg trapdoors, and local cameras running on Frigate DVR — no cloud, no subscriptions, no Google watching your backyard. From there the conversation widens into surveillance, Flock cameras showing up in neighborhoods without public votes, and why the data being collected today may be the most dangerous in 2035 when AI is powerful enough to mine it retroactively.The heart of the episode is Bitcoin — Chris's origin story through the 2008 financial crisis, losing what would now be generational wealth in the Mt. Gox hack, and why he stayed convicted anyway. He breaks down why Bitcoin is a money protocol the same way HTTP is a web protocol, explains the Lightning Network in plain language, and makes the case that the generational divide between boomers and millennials is really an asset-ownership divide: inflation has been great if you owned a house, catastrophic if you didn't. He also walks through his value-for-value podcast model — no advertisers, audience as the customer, splits paid automatically over Lightning — and why transparency about how much each episode earns keeps him honest and keeps the show free from capture.The episode closes on the Clarity Act, Jamie Dimon's very loud objections to Coinbase, AI IPO mania as the biggest financial gamble of the decade, and what question to actually ask a Bitcoiner instead of "what's the price going to be?"Articulate.Ventures/IBCLegacyInterviews.com

Artificial intelligence agents are beginning to make their presence felt in online payments. At present, they typically discover options for purchase and present users with buy options. However, many are already looking towards a future where AI agents have wallets and the ability to pay for small items with stablecoins. This could also create the opportunity for machine-to-machine micropayments. Chad Harper, head of the Coinbase Institute, joins Lewis McLellan, head of content at OMFIF's Digital Monetary Institute, to discuss the rails that will facilitate agentic payments, particularly x402, Coinbase's payments protocol.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Firas Isa, the founder of Crypto Dispenser, a bootstrapped and profitable company that has been quietly building Bitcoin on-ramp infrastructure since 2017. Firas started with a single Bitcoin ATM, partnered with GreenDot Bank to place cash deposit points across 100,000 retail stores like CVS and Walmart, and has grown to over 100,000 registered users , all without taking a penny of outside investment. In this conversation, we dig into why cash is still the purest way to buy Bitcoin, the brutal reality of getting bank accounts shut down repeatedly, and why Firas believes Bitcoin is the world's most peaceful revolution against currency debasement. If you have ever wondered how to buy Bitcoin without going through a big exchange, or you are a founder trying to understand what it actually takes to survive a decade in the crypto space on a bootstrap budget, this episode is for you.

Coinbase (COIN) serves as a proxy play for Bitcoin, says LikeFolio's Andy Swan, which can be seen in its downward price action alongside the cryptocurrency. LikeFolio's data points to Coinbase gaining market share but at the cost of doing so in a bearish crypto environment. Andy also highlights more data signaling a decline in overall year-over-year visits to the platform. He offers perspective on how patience can pay off for crypto bulls.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Most people assume award-winning creative work is a high-wire act: brilliant, risky, and impossible to repeat. Karen Pearce of Rethink makes the opposite case. Fresh off Ad Age's 2026 Agency of the Year and ADWEEK's 2025 Independent Agency of the Year, and as the most-awarded independent agency in the world last year, Rethink keeps producing famous, business-moving work on purpose.Recorded as a Cannes Lions lead-up, this conversation gets into the machinery behind the run. Karen explains why independence lets Rethink protect creative standards instead of chasing scale, why the client's real job is finding sparks rather than poking holes, and how the CRAFTS framework gives a whole agency a shared language for what good looks like. Karen walks us through the Heinz philosophy that every ad is a product ad, the go-then-grow approach that turns big swings into low-risk reps, and why, going into Cannes, she expects a reclaiming of human craft in an AI-flooded market.The through-line: bold creative shouldn't feel scary. Build the right system and the right partnership, and the work that wins awards is the same work that drives the business.Timestamps00:00 Find the sparks, not the holes02:08 What's behind the run: independence and the receipts05:48 Why great creative shouldn't feel scary09:12 Builders vs hole-pokers: the client's real job14:27 Famous brands outperform business metrics19:17 AI, human craft, and the IKEA sleep talkers22:42 CRAFTS: a shared language for great work30:57 Heinz: every ad is a product ad36:24 Go then grow: getting your reps in44:17 Idea first: when media becomes the creativeReferencesRethink: rethinkideas.comKaren Pearce: LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/karengpearce/Rethink's Book: The Business of Creativity Referenced campaigns: IKEA “U Up” and IKEA organizer / Skittles out-of-home; Heinz “Looks Familiar” and the keystone ketchup pouch; Destination Canada; Coinbase craft-led film; Epitaph “garbage media” dumpster billboardsAnthropic “Keep Thinking” campaign for Claude, by Mother Awards context: Ad Age 2026 Agency of the Year

Apple went public in 1980 at 15X revenue. SpaceX is scheduled to go public on 6.12.26 at 100X revenue. The market cap is estimated to be $1.5 -2.0 trillion valuation. This would be higher than Microsoft. SpaceX would be the third largest company by market cap in the US, behind only Apple and Nvidia. SpaceX lost over $4 billion in Q1 2026. Total losses since founding have been over $40 billion. 95% of all SpaceX shares are held by insiders. Typically, insiders are frozen from selling their shares for 180 days after listing to prevent the stock price from getting crushed. SpaceX insiders will be able to sell 20% of their shares in 60 days. Several more chunks of shares will be unlocked for insiders. By late November 2026, over 90% of insider shares would be unlocked for potential sale. The median stock price on most large IPO's, including Facebook, Coinbase, and Uber, have lost over 50% of their stock price after one year. Many were leading companies in their space and "must-own stocks". There may be a short-term speculative price increase due to the hype and interest around SpaceX. The valuation is extraordinarily expensive. Proceed with extreme caution.

Dan Tapiero has deployed over half a billion dollars into crypto's biggest private companies - Kraken, Ledger, Animoca, and the Deribit deal that became the largest M&A transaction in crypto history. In this conversation, he explains why we're at the integration moment between traditional finance and the onchain world, why his team is now exclusively looking at AI-adjacent deals, and why he believes thousands of trillions of dollars in agent-powered transactions are coming within the decade. We also get into why Coinbase could become the Amazon of finance, how prediction markets are creating truth machines, and why the digitization of money is bigger than the internet itself.

A major milestone just happened at the intersection of crypto and housing finance. Better and Coinbase have funded what they say is the first Fannie Mae-backed mortgage that allows borrowers to use Bitcoin as collateral instead of selling it for a down payment. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down how crypto-backed mortgages work, why lenders are exploring new ways to evaluate wealth, and what this could mean for homebuyers, real estate investors, and the future of mortgage lending.

XRP is down 46% over the last six months. Bitcoin is down 32%. The broader crypto market is getting hammered. Let's acknowledge reality: the price action has been brutal. But here's the question... If XRP is headed toward tokenized securities, tokenized money market funds, tokenized stocks, tokenized loans, and institutional finance, why is it trading around $1? Tonight on On The Chain, Jeff and Chip dive into the growing disconnect between XRP's price and what's actually happening across the ecosystem. Topics include: • David Schwartz on the future of XRP and tokenized finance • XRP tokenization growth outpacing Ethereum • South Korea's massive XRP trading activity • XRPL infrastructure upgrades and the transition to xrpld • Coinbase's expanding crypto developer ecosystem • The broader crypto market selloff • Polymarket's XRP predictions • Market psychology, fear, and volatility • Why crypto veterans have seen this movie before Crypto has been a roller coaster for the last 16 years. Fear comes. Panic follows. The headlines get louder. Then the story changes. So buckle up sunshine. Let's get into it. #XRP #Ripple #XRPL #Crypto #Bitcoin #Blockchain #Tokenization #RLUSD #Finance #CryptoNews ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ☕ SUPPORT THE CHANNEL Badassery Coffee Company https://badasserycoffee.com

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Learn more about OVTLYR: https://youtu.be/TUCbD5KovlcThe Space IPO story just keeps getting crazier… and this breakdown gets into why retail investors may need to be extremely careful before chasing the hype.In this reaction, we dig into the argument that the biggest IPO in history may be structured to benefit early investors while leaving regular investors as the exit liquidity. Space could reportedly come public near a $2 trillion valuation while only offering a small slice of shares to the public. That tiny float, combined with rule changes around index inclusion and early lockup releases, could create a very strange setup.The concern is simple: passive index funds may be forced to buy Space much faster than normal, while insiders and early investors may be able to sell sooner than usual. That creates a situation where retail excitement, index demand, and insider selling could all collide right after launch.We also compare this to past hype-driven IPOs like Robinhood, Coinbase, and Rivian, where huge early excitement eventually turned into massive drawdowns. Maybe Space becomes a great stock one day. But without a real trading history, moving averages, signals, or established trend, buying on day one is basically gambling on the story.✅ Space IPO, $2 trillion valuation, and biggest IPO risk✅ Passive index funds, Nasdaq rules, float multipliers, and lockups✅ Early investors, insider selling, and retail exit liquidity✅ Robinhood, Coinbase, Rivian, and IPO boom/bust patterns✅ OVTLYR discipline, trend signals, and avoiding FOMO tradesIf you're thinking about buying Space the moment it launches, this one may make you think twice before becoming somebody else's exit strategy.Subscribe to OVTLYR for disciplined trading strategies that actually make sense.

Bitcoin just crashed below $62,000 as crypto markets have officially erased over $2 trillion from their October 2025 peak — a 48% drawdown — while $1.5 billion in leveraged longs got wiped out and Bitcoin ETFs extended their outflow streak to 12 consecutive days, totaling $4 billion in the longest stretch of withdrawals in ETF history. Add Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirming the U.S. will NOT buy Bitcoin on the open market (the Strategic Reserve grows only at "deliberate speed" through confiscations), Sanders, Warren, and Bobby Scott moving to block Trump's plan to add crypto to 401(k) retirement accounts, Bitwise estimating Bitcoin's "fair value" at $224,000, Visa and Mastercard reportedly joining forces with Coinbase and Stripe on a new stablecoin platform, and BitMine filing a $300M preferred stock raise to stack ETH (copying Saylor's STRC playbook) — and today's setup is the most fragile crypto has looked all cycle. We break down what's driving the historic ETF bleed, whether the sovereign-bid bull case is officially dead, and what catalysts could stop Bitcoin from cracking $60K before the weekend.

Strategy sold BTC. Can its preferred dividend stack survive without Bitcoin growing at least 11.5% year? Plus, they cover Jamie Dimon calling Brian Armstrong “full of shit.” --- Heads up! If you haven't yet, be sure to subscribe to Bits + Bips, since the show will migrate there in a few weeks. Follow us on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, X, Unchained and wherever you get your podcasts. ---- Strategy sold Bitcoin for the first time since 2022 — 32 BTC to cover preferred stock dividends. Ram, Austin, and Chris discuss whether that small sale signals a deeper structural tension between equity holders, preferred holders, and Bitcoin itself. They also covered the news that Anthropic filed for an IPO at a valuation approaching $1 trillion. The hosts lay out the bull and bear cases and ask whether retail investors can realistically get a 10x out of a company already priced like a finished product. Unpacking a spicier moment, they also discussed the moment when JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon called Coinbase's Brian Armstrong “full of shit” on live TV over the Clarity Act. Ram says crypto's window of peak political power is closing fast, while Austin gives crypto lobbyists a great idea for how to turn the banks' stablecoin yield crusade against them.
