Bitcoin is entering one of the most dangerous phases of the entire cycle as a mysterious market glitch sends shockwaves through traders worldwide.

Bitcoin is suffering through one of its worst months in the entire bull cycle, and the charts are signaling that max pain may hit right at $73,000.

My guest today is Cosmo Jiang, Partner at Pantera Capital. Pantera was one of the earliest institutional voices to embrace digital asset treasury companies, or DATs, and helped catalyze the Solana DAT wave. We begin by unpacking the DAT investment thesis using a traditional fundamental investing framework. We then discuss the role of DATs in the crypto-ecosystem, the convergence of crypto and traditional finance, and why Solana is their largest position. Please enjoy this conversation with Cosmo Jiang.

Not all Roth conversions are created equal — and new research shows a clear winner. Richard Rosso breaks down a study that modeled hundreds of thousands of retirement scenarios to determine which Roth conversion strategy performs best over a 10-year period: • Staying in a traditional IRA/401(k) and taking RMDs • A one-time Roth conversion • A gradual, multi-year conversion strategy We examine how taxes, RMDs, longevity, and investment returns affect the outcome — and why a one-time conversion often comes out ahead if you can handle the upfront tax bill. 0:19 - The Sexiest Word in Finance 4:44 - The Roth Account Smile 7:29 - Roth Applications for Different Stages of Life 10:17 - Tax Hierarchy Considerations 14:09 - The Craft of Retirement Income & Withdrawals 19:07 - Roth as a Legacy Tool 21:22 - A Lifetime of Tax Savings with Roth 24:11 - Why a One-time Roth Conversion is Best Option 30:36 - Reconsidering Gradual Withdrawals 33:12 - Retirement Strategies are Personal 33:53 - Tim Allen, Mike Rowe, & Why Men Don't Work 38:14 - Thanksgiving Wishes Hosted by RIA Advisors Director of Financial Planning, Richard Rosso, CFP Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch Today's Full Video on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mkgUOAZU7Y&list=PLVT8LcWPeAuhi47sn298HrsWYwmg8MV7d&index=1 ------- The latest installment of our new feature, Before the Bell, "Why This Pullback Isn't a Panic" is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb8BeVp7ID8&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=1 ------- REGISTER for our 2026 Economic Summit, "The Future of Digital Assets, Artificial Intelligence, and Investing:" https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2026-ria-economic-summit-tickets-1765951641899?aff=oddtdtcreator ------- Our Previous Show, "How The Fed Deals Liquidity: The Monetary Toolbox" is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnB1pog_r_I&list=PLVT8LcWPeAugpcGzM8hHyEP11lE87RYPe&index=1 ------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestm entadvice.com/newsletter/ -------- SUBSCRIBE to The Real Investment Show here: http://www.youtube.com/c/TheRealInvestmentShow -------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #RothIRA #RetirementPlanning #TaxStrategy #IRAConversion #PersonalFinance

In this episode of "Financial Crime Matters," Kieran talks live from The ACAMS Assembly Las Vegas with Ned Conway, Executive Secretary at the Wolfsberg Group, an association of 12 of the world's largest banks that focuses on managing financial crime and money laundering risks. Ned discusses Wolfsberg's recommendations for banking stablecoin producers, pointing to the group's recent guidance "Provision of Banking Services to Fiat-backed Stablecoin Issuers."

For episode 625 of the BlockHash Podcast, host Brandon Zemp is joined by Rodrigo Coelho, CEO of Edge & Node. Autonomous agents across blockchain ecosystems are beginning to transact, communicate, and collaborate independently, yet there is no standardized way to manage agent to agent interactions (payments).Edge & Node, the founding team behind The Graph, is solving this problem by providing the missing management layer, Ampersend. Ampersend extends Coinbase's x402 payment protocol and Google's A2A communication standard with observability, automation, and compliance-ready controls.The result is an operational system where developers, startups, and enterprises can see how agents interact, set policies, manage budgets, and ensure reliability. Ampersend also aligns with Ethereum's emerging ERC-8004 agent discovery standard. ⏳ Timestamps: (0:00) Introduction(1:15) Who is Rodrigo Coelho?(8:57) What is Edge & Node?(10:10) What is Ampersend?(12:35) What will the Agentic economy look like?(18:53) Scaling the Agentic economy(25:42) Neo Robots(26:43) Importance of Agentic verifiability(28:00) Ampersend launch(30:10) Edge & Node roadmap for 2026(32:47) Edge & Node website, socials & community

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. ------
