Active Energy Group PLC treasury strategy adviser Adrian Rowles talked with Proactive about the company's initial $100,000 allocation into a basket of trending digital assets and how that short-term programme complements longer-term energy and AI hosting initiatives. Rowles explained that Active Energy maintains some Bitcoin in its longer-term treasury, but the new, tactical allocation focuses on highly liquid alternatives with strong community momentum, such as Solana, Binance Coin and Dogecoin. He noted the timing also reflects caution around a major Bitcoin options expiry and the associated volatility. “It just seems a very good place to dip our toe in the water and start to position some of this money, and I'm anticipating the fourth quarter is going to be exceptionally strong,” Rowles said. Rowles outlined an institutional-style risk framework for the 30–90-day trading approach, including sizing, exposure, timing and duration limits aimed at optimising returns while limiting downside. He also set out how the trading activity sits alongside Active Energy's pipeline of AI power and hosting projects. The company has “projects in the pipeline… securing in excess of £10 million in revenue” and is in advanced stages of implementation, he said. Rowles added that Active Energy has identified surplus energy that can be sold to third parties amid tight grid conditions driven by AI demand. He cited a 30MW pipeline, describing it as power sufficient for a small town, and shared a constructive fourth-quarter outlook after a “red September” for crypto.

De Amerikaanse vermogensbeheerder Grayscale heeft een primeur te pakken in de cryptowereld. Voor het eerst is er in de VS een ETF gelanceerd die meerdere munten bundelt in één product. Beleggers krijgen daarmee in één klap toegang tot Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana en Cardano. De eerste handelsdag leverde een omzet van bijna 22 miljoen dollar op, een teken dat de markt hongerig is naar dit soort mandjes. Het roept de vraag op wat het voordeel is van zo’n gecombineerde aanpak ten opzichte van fondsen die slechts één munt volgen. Zijn dit producten die vooral bedoeld zijn voor grote partijen, of juist geschikt voor de particuliere belegger die meer gespreid wil instappen? Opvallend is dat de markt voor cryptofondsen in hoog tempo breder wordt. Sinds vorige week zijn er ook ETF’s beschikbaar die enkel Ripple en Dogecoin volgen. Vooral de lancering van de Dogecoin-ETF zorgde voor opschudding, omdat het om een memecoin gaat die aanvankelijk als grap ontstond. Toch was ook hier het enthousiasme groot. Het roept de vraag op of dit de opmaat is naar nog meer exotische producten, en of de snelle opkomst van ETF’s uiteindelijk een bedreiging vormt voor de traditionele aanbieders van cryptodiensten. Ondertussen waren de prijsbewegingen deze week allesbehalve rustig. Op maandagochtend zakte de koers van Bitcoin in korte tijd enkele duizenden dollars, terwijl altcoins in dezelfde uren soms tien procent verloren. Later in de week lag de focus volledig op het rentebesluit van de Federal Reserve. De uitspraken van voorzitter Jerome Powell zorgden voor een opmerkelijke interpretatie: volgens analisten lijkt de centrale bank de huidige bullmarkt impliciet te steunen. In de nieuwsbrief van Bitcoin Alpha werd zelfs geschreven dat Powell de stijgende markt zijn zegen geeft. Hoe dat precies te duiden valt, komt in deze aflevering uitgebreid aan bod. Daarnaast speelt er nieuws rond bedrijven die bitcoin als onderdeel van hun bedrijfsstrategie aanhouden. Strive, een vermogensbeheerder die pas sinds enkele jaren actief is, kondigde aan Semler Scientific over te nemen. Dat is een medisch onderzoeksbedrijf dat ruim vijfduizend bitcoin in de kluis heeft liggen. Volgens experts kan deze overname het startschot zijn van een consolidatiegolf onder bedrijven met een grote bitcoinreserve. Veel van die ondernemingen hebben de afgelopen tijd met tegenwind te maken gehad. De stap van Strive laat zien dat er een nieuwe fase aanbreekt, waarin partijen elkaar opzoeken en posities consolideren.

De cryptomarkt laat zich deze week van zijn beste kant zien. Bitcoin noteert 117.000 dollar, een paar procent hoger dan vorige week. Dat optimisme komt vooral door de draai bij de Amerikaanse Federal Reserve, waar voorzitter Jerome Powell een meer stimulerende toon aansloeg. Voor beleggers in crypto betekent dat een steuntje in de rug. Het sentiment is duidelijk breder: ook altcoins doen het goed, met flinke plussen voor Binance Coin, Solana en Dogecoin. Dat positieve beeld zien we terug bij de beleggingsfondsen. De Bitcoin ETF’s beleefden hun sterkste instroom sinds juni en ook de Ethereum ETF’s trekken nieuwe investeerders. Tegelijkertijd lijkt de markt overspoeld te worden met aanvragen voor nieuwe fondsen. Na de Dogecoin ETF volgen talloze andere plannen, waaronder een voorstel voor een BONK ETF. Die moet niet alleen inspelen op de prijs van de memecoin, maar ook via een optiestrategie maandelijks inkomen genereren. Daarmee wordt de gok eigenlijk dubbel: op de munt én op het slagen van de strategie. Sinds de Amerikaanse toezichthouder van koers veranderde, is het hek van de dam en lijken dit soort aanvragen eerder regel dan uitzondering. Ook rond crypto-exchange Gemini is er nieuws. Het bedrijf van de Winklevoss-tweeling maakt morgen zijn debuut op de beurs. Gemini stond jarenlang bekend als de braafste partij van de Verenigde Staten als het om regelgeving ging, maar inmiddels is dat speelveld veranderd. Toch blijkt de belangstelling groot: volgens Reuters was de vraag twintig keer groter dan het aanbod, zelfs nadat de prijs per aandeel al werd verhoogd. De beursgang levert 425 miljoen dollar op en waardeert het bedrijf op 3,3 miljard dollar. Daarmee lijkt opnieuw een cryptobedrijf succesvol de stap naar de beurs te zetten. In Zwitserland wordt ondertussen geschreven aan een primeur. Drie banken, waaronder UBS, claimen de eerste juridisch bindende betaling via een publieke blockchain te hebben gedaan. Daarbij ging het om getokeniseerde banktegoeden die werden verstuurd over Ethereum. Dat is opvallend, omdat grote banken traditioneel terughoudend zijn met publieke blockchains. Juist dit soort toepassingen kan de manier waarop bankbetalingen wereldwijd werken ingrijpend veranderen. Tegelijkertijd wordt er volop gewerkt aan stablecoins. In de Verenigde Staten bracht de Genius-wetgeving duidelijkheid en inmiddels zijn vrijwel alle grote banken, betaaldienstverleners en fintechs ermee bezig. In Europa zijn er initiatieven bij onder meer Societe Generale en Duitse banken, terwijl ook ING plannen heeft. De Europese Centrale Bank volgt dit met argusogen. Deze week in de CryptocastEen gesprek met Solana-watcher Geale Simon Postma, over de tweede smartphone van Solana, de Seeker. Solana is het enige serieuze cryptonetwerk dat echt lijkt in te zetten op hardware, en deze smartphone is een heel aardige poging voor 450 dollar. Voor dat bedrag krijg je een midrange telefoon mét een aantal extra cryptofeatures, bijvoorbeeld een ingebouwde crypto-portemonnee en recht op -je raadt het al- allerlei gratis memecoins.

Nesse cenário, surge a discussão sobre porque a concentração em Bitcoin pode ser uma estratégia defensiva, como a geopolítica e a desvalorização do dólar influenciam os preços, de que forma as stablecoins estão diretamente ligadas à capacidade dos Estados Unidos rolarem sua dívida e qual o futuro de projetos como Ethereum, Solana e outros que disputam espaço no mercado.Para discutir o presente e o futuro desse mercado, recebemos Felipe SantAna no episódio 260 do Podcast Os Sócios.

De koers van Bitcoin blijft rond de 114.000 dollar hangen. Daarmee is er deze week weinig beweging te zien, terwijl altcoins opnieuw beter presteerden dan Bitcoin. Vooral Dogecoin valt op, de munt die ooit begon als grap en populair werd door steun van onder anderen Elon Musk. Op de Amerikaanse beurs lijkt er vandaag zelfs voor het eerst een ETF te worden gelanceerd voor Dogecoin. Een analist van Bloomberg merkte op dat het de eerste keer is dat er een beleggingsfonds wordt geïntroduceerd voor een digitale munt zonder daadwerkelijk nut of doel. Toch blijft het nieuws daar niet bij. Er is namelijk ook een nieuw opkoopbedrijf dat Dogecoin aan zijn balans toevoegt. De naam is CleanCore Solutions, dat aankondigde voor 68 miljoen dollar Dogecoin aan te schaffen. Het aandeel kreeg direct een klap van 50% op de beurs, al is er sindsdien enig herstel. De strategie roept vragen op: eerdere voorbeelden met Bitcoin en Ethereum kenden succes, maar of dit ook voor Dogecoin geldt moet nog blijken. Het past in een bredere trend. Eerst waren er bedrijven die hun kasreserves in Bitcoin staken, later volgden ondernemingen die hetzelfde met Ethereum deden. Nu zien we dus ook Dogecoin. Daarnaast zijn er andere opmerkelijke bewegingen. EightCo Holdings, een klein en voorheen onopvallend bedrijf, kondigde aan via een constructie 250 miljoen dollar te investeren in Worldcoin, het project van OpenAI-oprichter Sam Altman. Onder de betrokken partijen zit ook BitMine, dat zelf al miljarden aan Ethereum beit. Zo ontstaan complexe netwerken van bedrijven die elkaar versterken in hun gok op verschillende munten. Ondanks de aandacht doen de aandelen van deze zogenoemde opkoopbedrijven het over het algemeen niet goed. Microstrategy, jarenlang hét voorbeeld van bitcoinaccumulatie, verloor sinds de zomer een kwart van zijn beurswaarde, terwijl de koers van Bitcoin zelf minder dan 10% onder zijn recordniveau noteert. Vergelijkbare bedrijven als 21 en Metaplanet laten hetzelfde beeld zien. Toch schrikt dat nieuwe spelers niet af. Vanuit Taiwan liet Sora Ventures deze week weten voor een miljard dollar in Bitcoin te willen investeren, waarvan al 200 miljoen is toegezegd. Tot slot kwam er opvallend nieuws vanuit de Verenigde Staten. De derivatenwaakhond CFTC onderzoekt of bedrijven die voldoen aan de Europese cryptowet MiCAR ook in de VS zouden mogen opereren. Die wet, die in Europa sinds vorig jaar van kracht is, bevat regels voor transparantie, vermogensscheiding en consumentenbescherming. Amerikaanse toezichthouders lijken zo te zoeken naar manieren om crypto-ondernemingen die eerder het land verlieten weer terug te halen. Daarmee krijgt Europese regelgeving onverwacht een rol in de Amerikaanse discussie. Deze week in de CryptocastEen nieuwe Deep Dive, uiteraard met co-hosts Veronique Estié en Bert Slagter. Dit keer kijken we naar crypto op de beurs. Dan denk je natuurlijk direct aan die immens populaire ETF's voor Bitcoin en Ethereum, maar we kijken ook naar andere manieren om blootstelling aan de cryptomarkt te krijgen, En of dat nu meerwaarde heeft, als je al Bitcoin of Ethereum in portefeuille hebt.

Vooral Dogecoin valt op, de munt die ooit begon als grap en populair werd door steun van onder anderen Elon Musk. Op de Amerikaanse beurs lijkt er vandaag zelfs voor het eerst een ETF te worden gelanceerd voor Dogecoin. Een analist van Bloomberg merkte op dat het de eerste keer is dat er een beleggingsfonds wordt geïntroduceerd voor een digitale munt zonder daadwerkelijk nut of doel. Toch blijft het nieuws daar niet bij. Er is namelijk ook een nieuw opkoopbedrijf dat Dogecoin aan zijn balans toevoegt. De naam is CleanCore Solutions, dat aankondigde voor 68 miljoen dollar Dogecoin aan te schaffen. Het aandeel kreeg direct een klap van 50% op de beurs, al is er sindsdien enig herstel. De strategie roept vragen op: eerdere voorbeelden met Bitcoin en Ethereum kenden succes, maar of dit ook voor Dogecoin geldt moet nog blijken. Het past in een bredere trend. Eerst waren er bedrijven die hun kasreserves in Bitcoin staken, later volgden ondernemingen die hetzelfde met Ethereum deden. Nu zien we dus ook Dogecoin. Daarnaast zijn er andere opmerkelijke bewegingen. EightCo Holdings, een klein en voorheen onopvallend bedrijf, kondigde aan via een constructie 250 miljoen dollar te investeren in Worldcoin, het project van OpenAI-oprichter Sam Altman. Onder de betrokken partijen zit ook BitMine, dat zelf al miljarden aan Ethereum beit. Zo ontstaan complexe netwerken van bedrijven die elkaar versterken in hun gok op verschillende munten. Ondanks de aandacht doen de aandelen van deze zogenoemde opkoopbedrijven het over het algemeen niet goed. Microstrategy, jarenlang hét voorbeeld van bitcoinaccumulatie, verloor sinds de zomer een kwart van zijn beurswaarde, terwijl de koers van Bitcoin zelf minder dan 10% onder zijn recordniveau noteert. Vergelijkbare bedrijven als 21 en Metaplanet laten hetzelfde beeld zien. Toch schrikt dat nieuwe spelers niet af. Vanuit Taiwan liet Sora Ventures deze week weten voor een miljard dollar in Bitcoin te willen investeren, waarvan al 200 miljoen is toegezegd. Tot slot kwam er opvallend nieuws vanuit de Verenigde Staten. De derivatenwaakhond CFTC onderzoekt of bedrijven die voldoen aan de Europese cryptowet MiCAR ook in de VS zouden mogen opereren. Die wet, die in Europa sinds vorig jaar van kracht is, bevat regels voor transparantie, vermogensscheiding en consumentenbescherming. Amerikaanse toezichthouders lijken zo te zoeken naar manieren om crypto-ondernemingen die eerder het land verlieten weer terug te halen. Daarmee krijgt Europese regelgeving onverwacht een rol in de Amerikaanse discussie. Deze week in de CryptocastEen nieuwe Deep Dive, uiteraard met co-hosts Veronique Estié en Bert Slagter. Dit keer kijken we naar crypto op de beurs. Dan denk je natuurlijk direct aan die immens populaire ETF's voor Bitcoin en Ethereum, maar we kijken ook naar andere manieren om blootstelling aan de cryptomarkt te krijgen, En of dat nu meerwaarde heeft, als je al Bitcoin of Ethereum in portefeuille hebt. Met Daniël Mol bespreken we elke week de stand van de cryptomarkt.

Major developments emerge in cryptos. While some anticipate Dogecoin reaching unprecedented values, another low-cost token creates substantial excitement and could disrupt the market. Experts monitor both tokens closely. The competition for leadership intensifies, generating significant discussion among traders and enthusiasts alike. Dogecoin (DOGE) Source: TradingView Dogecoin now trades inside a narrow band of $0.2011-$0.2304. The coin lost 3.17% over the last 7 days, trimming the recent rally. Price hugs the 10-day average at $0.215. A momentum reading above 80 hints that buyers are still active, yet the mood is cautious near the top of the range. Over the past month, DOGE is up 8.61%, and the 6-month score shows a 12.27% climb. The move lifted the price above the 100-day average at $0.2147, turning that area into fresh support. Each dip toward $0.1889 has drawn buyers, keeping mid-term sentiment upbeat. If demand pushes price beyond $0.2304, the next ceiling sits at $0.2475. A clear break could add about 12% and target $0.2768, roughly 20% higher. Failure to crack resistance may drag DOGE back to $0.1889, a 10% slip. A deeper fall toward $0.1596 would erase the 6-month gain, but the current data still favours a slow grind higher while momentum stays firm. $XYZ Unlocks the G.O.A.T. Status, Early Investors Positioned for Massive ROI XYZVerse ($XYZ) has brought a brand-new concept to the memecoin niche by blending the excitement of sports with the fast-moving energy of crypto. Designed for hardcore fans of football, basketball, MMA, and esports, this project goes beyond just being another token - it's a growing community built around passion for the game. With the bold Greatest of All Time (G.O.A.T.) vision, XYZVerse is aiming higher than the average meme coin. And people are taking notice - it has recently earned the title of Best New Meme Project. What sets $XYZ apart? It's not a short-lived trend. This project has a clear roadmap and a dedicated community focused on long-term growth. Fueled by the sports mentality, the $XYZ token has emerged as the ultimate contender ready to crush competitors. $XYZ is on its way to the winner's podium to become a badge of honour for those who live and breathe sports and crypto. $XYZ Already Delivers Even Before Hitting the Market The $XYZ presale is underway, providing access to the token at a special pre-listing price. Launch Price: $0.0001 Price Now: $0.005 Next Stage: $0.01 Final Presale Price: $0.02 Following the presale, the $XYZ token will be listed on major centralised and decentralised exchanges, with a target listing price of $0.10. If the project raises enough capital to support this valuation, early investors could see returns of up to 1,000x on their presale entries. So far, over $15 million has been invested, reflecting strong market interest. Notably, securing tokens at a lower presale price offers the potential for higher ROI upon launch. Demand for $XYZ is surging, driving rapid progress in the presale. Early buyers secure the lowest prices, maximising their potential returns. Join $XYZ Presale Now and See Your Pennies Grow Into Millions! Conclusion DOGE holds strong potential amid the 2025 surge; yet, the first all-sport memecoin XYZVerse (XYZ) targets 20,000% growth, blending meme hype with sports fandom for a fresh market lead.

Amdax heeft deze week grootse plannen gepresenteerd. Het Nederlandse handelsplatform uit Amsterdam wil een eigen Bitcoin Treasury opzetten. Met de “Amsterdam Bitcoin Treasury Strategy” (AMBTS) mikt het bedrijf op niets minder dan één procent van alle Bitcoin in omloop. Dat klinkt overzichtelijk, maar de rekensom leert dat dit neerkomt op 210.000 bitcoin. Tegen de huidige koers van ongeveer een ton per stuk is daarvoor zo’n 21 miljard euro nodig. De schatkist moet een losstaand beursgenoteerd bedrijf worden, met Amdax als grote investeerder en aanjager. Private investeerders krijgen de kans om mee te doen en zo indirect blootstelling te krijgen aan bitcoin. Daarmee kiest Amdax voor een constructie die doet denken aan de strategie van MicroStrategy, dat sinds 2020 miljarden in bitcoin parkeerde en sindsdien als hét voorbeeld geldt voor beursbedrijven die hun kaspositie deels in crypto willen aanhouden. Concurrentie in Europa is er nauwelijks. Internationaal zijn er wel enkele voorbeelden: MicroStrategy staat met ruim 600.000 bitcoin bovenaan de lijst van bedrijven met de grootste reserves, goed voor een waarde van 73 miljard dollar. In Japan bezit Metaplanet meer dan 18.000 bitcoin en in Duitsland heeft Bitcoin Group er zo’n 3500. Vergeleken daarmee zou Amdax met zijn ambitie tot de grootste spelers ter wereld behoren. Een exacte startdatum is er nog niet. Naast dit nieuws leek Monero deze week het slachtoffer te worden van een 51%-aanval. Het privacyproject, opgericht in 2014, staat bekend om zijn focus op anonieme transacties en is daarmee een buitenbeentje in de markt. Toen het bedrijf Qubic op zijn website meldde dat het een “51% Monero Network Takeover Demonstration” had uitgevoerd, sloeg de onrust toe. Het handelsplatform Kraken besloot uit voorzorg alle stortingen in Monero tijdelijk stil te leggen. Later bleek dat Qubic slechts ongeveer 34% van de rekenkracht in handen had en dat van een geslaagde aanval dus geen sprake was. Inmiddels zijn de stortingen van Monero bij Kraken weer geopend. Opvallend is wel dat Qubic liet weten nu Dogecoin op het oog te hebben, al is de kans klein dat dit netwerk gevaar loopt.

De koers van Bitcoin blijft opvallend stabiel rond de 118.000 dollar. Dat is slechts een paar procent onder het recordniveau, maar het zorgt ook voor een tamme markt. De echte beweging zit deze week opnieuw bij altcoins. Ethereum springt eruit, geholpen door het positieve sentiment dat volgde op de Amerikaanse stablecoinwet. Ook Solana, Dogecoin en XRP lieten flinke plussen zien, maar vielen in de nacht van woensdag op donderdag ook stevig terug. Voor Ethereum lijkt bovendien een nieuwe trend te ontstaan. Waar eerder vooral Bitcoin door bedrijven werd opgekocht, zien we nu ook grote en kleine partijen die Ethereum toevoegen aan hun balans. Sharplink Gaming, een relatief onbekende Amerikaanse speler, bezit inmiddels 360.000 Ether, goed voor zo’n 1,3 miljard dollar. Daarnaast is begin deze week The Ether Machine aangekondigd, een groep investeerders die in één klap wil beginnen met 400.000 Ether. Omdat het moet via beursgenoteerde voertuigen, kunnen alleen beleggers met een sterke maag mee in deze rit: de aandelenkoersen van dit soort bedrijven zijn nóg volatieler dan de cryptomarkt zelf. Tegelijkertijd gaat Michael Saylor onvermoeibaar door met het uitbreiden van zijn Bitcoinbezit. Zijn bedrijf Strategy – voorheen Microstrategy – koopt structureel nieuwe bitcoin door aandelen uit te geven. Daarnaast heeft hij een reeks nieuwe financiële producten gelanceerd, met namen als Strike, Strife, Stride en Stretch. Die leveren hem wekelijks tientallen tot honderden miljoenen aan kapitaal op, waarmee hij vervolgens nóg meer bitcoin kan kopen. Tot slot is er aandacht voor de opkomst van quantumcomputers. Als zulke krachtige machines werkelijkheid worden, kunnen ze de beveiliging van oude Bitcoin-adressen ondermijnen. Vooral de bekende miljoen bitcoin van Satoshi Nakamoto zou dan kwetsbaar zijn. Ontwikkelaar Jameson Lopp pleit daarom voor maatregelen: kwetsbare adressen blokkeren voor inkomende transacties en tegoeden uiteindelijk bevriezen. Zijn voorstel stuit op stevige kritiek, omdat het raakt aan het principe dat munten – hoe gevaarlijk ook – nooit mogen worden aangeraakt zonder toestemming. Toch groeit de consensus dat er nu al moet worden nagedacht over oplossingen, voor het geval quantumdreiging realiteit wordt. Deze week in de CryptocastWe hebben het over een verse trend in de cryptowereld: bedrijven die massaal Ethereum inslaan, volgens het voorbeeld van Michael Saylor van Microstrategy. Inderdaad: met geleend geld geen Bitcoin, maar Ether kopen. Daarvoor is Jasper Oelers te gast, mede-oprichter van beleggingsplatform De Lange Termijn. Hij volgt alle obscure bedrijfjes die dit nu al doen. Co-host is Raoul Esseboom. Met Daniël Mol bespreken we elke week de stand van de cryptomarkt.

Kanyi Maqubela's journey is nothing short of extraordinary—from fleeing apartheid South Africa as an infant, to living in a homeless shelter in New York City, to becoming a venture capitalist in Silicon Valley. As managing partner at Kindred Ventures, Maqubela sits at the intersection of culture, finance, and technology. In this episode, he talks with Scott McGrew about why he believes crypto has already succeeded—even if it doesn't look the way early critics expected.Maqubela argues that value isn't just stored in physical assets or spreadsheets—it can also be stored in memes. Whether it's gold, real estate in Las Vegas, or Dogecoin, he suggests that cultural momentum and shared belief can give something staying power and real economic weight. “Mimetic value is value,” he says, making the case that virality itself is a form of capital.This conversation explores why the blockchain matters, how meme coins might be more serious than they seem, and why the next generation is right to question the financial systems they inherited. It's a provocative look at the future of value—and the stories we tell to justify it.

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:

First up, we plunged headlong into our unofficial Horror Olympics, pitting the recycled slasher spectacle Halloween H2O against the gore-fuelled insanity of Terrifier. Los, my co-host and fellow horror heathen, came in hot with his predictable picks: masked maniacs, jump scares on demand, and “classic” kills that he swears “stand the test of time.” Meanwhile, I defended my unorthodox torchbearers—Disturbia, that suburban teenage thriller where Shia LaBeouf proves you don't need a chainsaw to feel hunted, and Ready or Not, the wildly inventive house-of-cards satire where wedding night turns into lawn-chair carnage. I laid out my argument that clever setup and character-driven tension beat thirty seconds of gratuitous forehead-stabbing any day, and Los grudgingly admitted that yeah, maybe I'm onto something—though he reserves the right to scream “that's so 2004” in my face.Apple's WWDC: When “Liquid Glass” Means “Blinded by the Future”Next, we jumped into Apple's annual pep rally—WWDC 2025—where they unveiled “liquid glass” as if we all suddenly cranked our devices through Drano and into a Black Mirror episode. I recapped the parade of translucent iPhones and speculated that next year we'll be holding our MacBook Air by firelight, because who needs a screen when you can have “milky clarity”? We tore into how Siri is still a glorified paperweight despite promises of AI wizardry, and why the average consumer probably won't care until iOS 26 auto-transforms their phone into a sentient sidekick that orders pizza for them. Los and I marveled at Vision Pro's new “polar vortex mode,” which literally chills your eyeballs to deliver immersion—but at the cost of your retinas. Moral of the story: Apple might soon merge hardware and hallucination, but they still can't figure out why we ask Siri to set alarms and it replies “Good luck with that.”TikTok Ban Scare Round… Whatever This IsIn political theater news, yet another TikTok ban scare is slated for June 19th—cue the gnashing of teeth and frantic downloader guides. I explained why this one's more PR stunt than policy: no executive order on the horizon, just another Washington soundbite designed to keep us distracted while they debate farm subsidies and military spending. Rumor has it Elon Musk weighed in—between tweets about Dogecoin dips—but I assure you, the app empire isn't crumbling (yet). So don't uninstall: keep those 15-second dance routines and cat lip-syncs flowing.TikTok's Jay Renshaw: The “Chit” Series That Actually ChitsSpeaking of TikTok, I fell down the rabbit hole of Jay Renshaw's “Chit” series—videos titled things like “Golf Chit,” “Wedding Chit,” and my personal favorite, “Corporate Chit.” This guy somehow distills every cringe corporate ritual into sub-30-second vignettes that feel like airport bathroom graffiti come to life. I shared my top picks and why, if you need a crash course in humanity's most bizarre habits, this is your masterclass. Warning: you may start narrating your own life with dramatic “Chit” captions—totally normal.Wedding DJ Confessional: When Photographers Duel with CaffeineIn a rare “real life” detour, I recounted my latest gig—spinning tracks at a wedding reception where the photographer, fresh from a bout of over-caffeination, chugged three cans of Hard Mountain Dew thinking it was Sprite. I described the ensuing dad-dance chaos as his shutter finger trembled like a seismic sensor. The bride and groom thought it was performance art. I thought it was a liability. Congratulations to Deb and Kev for capturing every jittery shot of Uncle Bob's twerking meltdown.Joe Exotic for President?

This week we talk about kidnappings, ransoms, and bitcoin.We also discuss crypto wealth, robberies, and memecoins.Recommended Book: The Status Game by Will StorrTranscriptIn 2008, a white paper published by someone writing under the pen name Satoshi Nakamoto proposed a method for making a decentralized asset class called a cryptocurrency that led to the creation of bitcoin, which was implemented and began trading in 2009.While there were other variations on this theme, and attempts to create something like a cryptocurrency previously, bitcoin is generally considered to be the first modern incarnation of this asset class, and its approach—using a peer-to-peer network to keep track of who owns what tokens on a publicly distributed ledger called a blockchain—led to the development of many copycats, and many next-generation cryptoassets based on similar principles, or principles that have been iterated in all sorts of directions, based on the preferences and beliefs of those assets' founders.In its early days, bitcoin didn't make much of a splash and was considered to be kind of an anomaly, mostly interesting to a very small number of people who speculated about alternative currencies and how they might be developed and implemented in the real world, but as of mid-May 2025, the global market cap for all cryptocurrencies is $3.39 trillion, bitcoin accounting for more than $2 trillion of that total.That said, there are tens of thousands of cryptocurrencies available, these days, though the majority of them have been formally discontinued or simply allowed to go fallow, becoming functionally inactive.That's partly the consequence of a surge in interest during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the price of bitcoin popping from just over $5,000 at the start of the pandemic to around $68,000 in late-2021.Bitcoin and most of the other crypto-assets that sprung up during that tumultuous period then collapsed when the US Federal Reserve hiked interest rates, intending to temper inflation, which had the knock-on effect of reining in risky bets on things like seed-level startups and alternative assets classes, like crypto—bitcoin dropped to less than $17,000 in 2023, partly as a result of that move—but as inflation levels cooled and investors started to look for assets that might pay out big time again, there was another wave of crypto-asset launches, especially of the ‘meme coin' variety, which basically means a crypto token that's launched either as a joke, or to try to make some money off something that's trending—the most famous meme coin is probably Dogecoin, which was originally released in 2013 as a joke, but then boomed in popularity and price during the pandemic.Through it all, and well before most people knew what bitcoin or cryptocurrencies were, Coinbase has served as a central pillar of the crypto-asset ecosystem.The company was founded in 2012 by a former Airbnb engineer as a crypto exchange: a place where you can swap crypto assets for other crypto assets, but importantly, where you can also sell those assets for real world money, or buy them for real world money.And that's what I want to talk about today, and more specifically a recent hack of Coinbase, and the potential implications of that hack.—In mid-May of 2025, Coinbase reported, in a legally required Securities and Exchange Commission filing, that their company was hacked, and that the hack may end up costing Coinbase between $180 and $400 million, all told.According to that filing, Coinbase received an email from the hacker on May 11, saying that they'd obtained a bunch of information about Coinbase customers and their accounts, alongside other Coinbase documentation related to their account management systems and customer service practices. The hacker demanded $20 million from the company, which the company refused to pay.Coinbase officials have been keen to note that passwords and private keys were not compromised in the hack, so the hackers couldn't just log into someone's account and empty their crypto wallets or the real-deal money they might be keeping there, but they did access names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses, alongside the last four digits of some users' social security numbers, their government ID images, like drivers licenses and passports, and their account balances.All of which isn't as bad as passwords and private keys being stolen, but it's not good, either. The hackers, or people working with them, have reportedly been launching phishing attacks against some of the higher net-worth individuals whose information was stolen, those attacks—which usually involve tricking victims into divulging other information, like passwords—made a million times easier because the folks doing the attacks had that stolen information.What's more, and this isn't necessarily obvious from reading the pieces published about this hack, but it's important context surrounding all of this, people who have a lot of money in crypto-assets are increasingly likely to be targeted for other sorts of crimes, compared to people with a lot of wealth in conventional assets, like money, homes, and stocks.Case in point, in early May of this year, a trio of Florida teens kidnapped a man at gunpoint in Las Vegas, drove him to a remote desert area about an hour away, and then stole about $4 million in crypto and other digital assets, like NFTs.They apparently waited for him at his apartment complex and when he pulled up, they threatened him, and said they had his dad, and would kill him if he didn't get in their car, and then they got his account passwords and other information from him, once he was away from any possible help.In Canada, back in early November of 2024, the CEO of a crypto company based in Toronto was kidnapped during rushhour, forced into the kidnappers' vehicle and forced to pay a million dollars in ransom before he was released.According to a security firm that specializes in protecting wealthy people with crypto-assets, that CEO's kidnapping was the 171st instance of criminals using physical violence, including kidnapping, but also other types of robbery, to steal crypto assets; they also said there tend to be more such cases when the price of these assets is high.Well, the price of a bitcoin is high right now, more than $103,000 per coin, as of the day I'm recording this, and France and other Western European nations are seeing a spate of kidnappings of high net-worth crypto-holders, some of which have resulted in mutilation, as was the case with a 60-year-old man who was kidnapped in broad daylight, at 10:30am in Paris—four men in ski-masks pushed him into the back of a delivery van, and his kidnappers demanded his crypto-millionaire son pay a ransom; they cut off the older man's finger during the ordeal.The kidnappers demanded something like 5-7 million euros, which wasn't paid, and they were eventually captured by police. But law enforcement is seeing a lot of this sort of thing all over the world right now, people who made fortunes in crypto being kidnapped, and in some cases their friends and family, or partners, also being kidnapped, or kidnapped instead. Whatever the specifics, the person with the crypto-wealth is then hit up for a ransom.Often, the people being targeted are known to be wealthy because their wealth, their gains in this particular asset market, is publicized.The big concern amongst many people in the crypto-world right now, then, is that although the Coinbase hack didn't result in lost passwords or keys, the information that was stolen, including the balance of users' accounts, could make these users targets, giving anyone with access to this stolen data a list of people they might steal from, and information about where to find them, how to contact them, and how much they can probably hit them up for.On top of that, they can see who has had large balances in the past, how much cash they sold their holdings for, and who maybe previously had large holdings on Coinbase, but then transferred those assets to a private wallet—so even if they don't have large Coinbase balances, they possibly have large balances hidden on a harddrive somewhere.Crypto wealth is generally considered to be easier to steal, and to get away with said theft, because of its very nature; it's largely disconnected from traditional banking systems and many traditional banking regulations, and it's often simpler to launder crypto assets than real money, converting bitcoin into stable coins into other coins before then converting those assets into real money, for instance.So while Coinbase seems to be doing what they can to make their users whole, including paying back users whose information was lost in the breach, that information then used to phish them, successfully—so if you were conned out of money because the hackers got this information and then tricked you—Coinbase will pay you back what you lost.But it's not really possible to undo other, non-immediate damage, like the new level of threat some of these hacking victims maybe face, as the global economy gets weird, job security is iffy for many people in many industries, at best, and there's this list of people who seem to have plenty of money, that money held in more-stealable-than-usual assets, alongside what amounts to a map to where they can be found, and all sorts of information that paints an incomplete, but potentially leveragable, portrait of their lives.Show Noteshttps://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001679788/000167978825000094/coin-20250514.htmhttps://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/15/coinbase-says-hackers-bribed-staff-to-steal-customer-data-and-are-demanding-20-million-ransom.htmlhttps://techcrunch.com/2025/05/15/coinbase-says-customers-personal-information-stolen-in-data-breach/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/magazine/crybercrime-crypto-minecraft.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Hk8.UV7K.VEEqHFsUu24g&smid=url-sharehttps://www.yahoo.com/news/florida-teens-kidnap-las-vegas-200918594.htmlhttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/kidnapping-toronto-businessman-cryptocurrency-1.7376679https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/04/french-police-investigate-spate-of-cryptocurrency-millionaire-kidnappingshttps://www.advisor.ca/investments/market-insights/the-reasons-behind-bitcoins-surge/https://www.statista.com/statistics/863917/number-crypto-coins-tokens/https://www.forbes.com/digital-assets/crypto-prices/?sh=c86585d24785https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coinbasehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrencyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoinhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378437122005696https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme_coin This is a public episode.

How does that make sense?The hosts dig deep into the surprising market reaction, discussing the key reason for the stock surge: Elon Musk's claim that he'll be stepping back from his distractions (like Dogecoin and Starlink) and refocusing on Tesla. But is that enough to restore investor faith? The trio questions whether Musk's “I'll do better” pledge can truly turn things around—especially when Tesla's facing tough competition, technical stagnation, and missed milestones with vehicles like the Model Y and Cybertruck.Tune in for a candid conversation about CEO privilege, market psychology, and the future of Tesla as both a car company and a tech company.
