Podcasts about DTCC

For years, we've been told that blockchain technology would eventually transform Wall Street. Well... "Eventually" is starting to look a lot like RIGHT NOW. In today's episode, we're diving into one of the biggest developments yet in the convergence of traditional finance and digital assets: the DTCC's move to tokenize traditional securities. And this isn't some crypto startup experimenting with a proof of concept. The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) sits at the heart of the U.S. financial system, and its subsidiary DTC currently custodies more than $114 TRILLION in assets. Now, those assets are beginning to move on-chain. In July, DTCC successfully converted DTC-held traditional securities into digital tokens and used them in real production transactions, involving more than 30 major traditional and digital financial firms. The transactions included U.S. Treasuries, equities, securities lending, collateral and other institutional workflows. That's a BIG deal. We're no longer talking about whether Wall Street will adopt blockchain. We're watching the infrastructure being built right in front of us. On today's show, we'll break down: What tokenization actually means Why DTCC's involvement changes the conversation How a traditional stock or Treasury can become a tokenized asset Why Wall Street wants assets on blockchain networks The potential for faster settlement and greater asset mobility How tokenization could change collateral and liquidity management Why this could eventually lead toward extended trading hours Which blockchains and financial companies are participating What all of this could mean for cryptocurrency and digital-asset investors Perhaps most importantly, we'll look at what comes next. DTCC plans to officially launch its Tokenization Service in October 2026, initially allowing eligible DTC-custodied securities to be converted between traditional and tokenized forms. Eligible assets include constituents of the Russell 1000, ETFs tracking major indexes, and U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds. And this isn't being built in isolation. Major firms participating in DTCC's tokenization initiative include BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Citadel Securities, Circle, CME Group, Chainlink, Invesco, BNP Paribas, Fireblocks and many others. DTCC is also pursuing a multi-chain strategy, with tokenized assets already demonstrated across private and public blockchain infrastructure and plans to make DTC-tokenized assets available on the Stellar network in the first half of 2027. Think about what that tells us. For years, the debate was: Will traditional finance adopt crypto? I think we're beginning to ask the wrong question. What happens when traditional finance starts using the TECHNOLOGY that crypto introduced? Stocks. Bonds. Treasuries. ETFs. Collateral. Real-world assets. The infrastructure of Wall Street itself is beginning to move on-chain. The digital revolution isn't ending... It may just be getting started. For additional research, check out DTCC's Tokenization Initiative and DTCC's July Production-Trades Announcement. Listen now:

Bitcoin doesn't have to entertain you to be capital. While the market watches price, Wall Street is moving from crypto experiments to infrastructure it can actually use. I look at what DTCC just revealed, why “innovation by press release” is ending, and what investors should be watching before the next narrative arrives.

LayerZero is de laag waar de meeste cryptobeleggers nooit aan denken, en tegelijk de laag waarlangs het meeste geld beweegt. Het bedrijf verbindt zo'n 160 blockchains met een communicatieprotocol, ongeveer zoals TCP/IP de verschillende systemen op internet met elkaar laat praten. Ivar Wiersma, head of EMEA, legt uit waarom dat nodig is: vier jaar geleden liep nog negentig procent van alle activiteit over Ethereum, nu is dat rond de vijfenvijftig procent en zit de rest verspreid over Solana, Base, Arbitrum en Canton. Wie zijn stablecoin of getokeniseerde fonds op één netwerk uitgeeft, mist dus de helft van de markt. Een bridge is het officieel niet, al zijn de meeste moderne bridges erop gebouwd. De oude generatie zette alle waarde vast in één slim contract, en dat werd een lokkertje voor hackers: er verdween meer dan twee miljard dollar via die route. Bij LayerZero wordt honderd dollar aan stablecoins op het ene netwerk vernietigd en op het andere opnieuw aangemaakt, met een verificatiestap ertussen die de uitgever zelf inricht. Er zijn meer dan vijftig verifiers om uit te kiezen, en banken en vermogensbeheerders zetten er vaak een eigen bij. Het verdienmodel is dubbel: een kleine marge op elke transactie, omdat LayerZero het gas op alle netwerken voor de gebruiker regelt, en een vergoeding van de blockchains die aangesloten willen zijn. Het protocol zelf is open source en gratis voor uitgevers. Volgens Wiersma loopt tachtig procent van alle dollarwaarde die tussen blockchains beweegt onder water via LayerZero, tien tot vijftien miljard dollar per maand, met Tether, PayPal, Ondo en Robinhood als klanten. Alleen USDC ontbreekt, want Circle bouwde vroeg zijn eigen oplossing. Daar komt nu een eigen blockchain bij, Zero, gericht op handel en afwikkeling. Wiersma noemt een miljoen transacties per seconde tegen een tienduizendste cent per stuk, waar Ethereum er vijf tot tien doet en Solana vijfduizend. Partners zijn de DTCC, de New York Stock Exchange met moederbedrijf ICE, en Citadel Securities. Het voorbeeld dat iedereen in de gaten houdt is Hyperliquid, dat in 2025 met vijftien mensen 880 miljoen dollar operationele winst maakte. Ook het incident bij KelpDAO komt langs. Die klant had de beveiliging teruggezet naar één verifier, die werd gekraakt, en er verdween restaked ether. Sindsdien weigert LayerZero zelf te verifiëren als er maar één partij achter een verbinding zit. Co-host is Kim Schneider. Over de podcast Cryptocurrency are here to stay.

DTCC holds $114 trillion in assets. On July 15th, it showed the world how those assets can be converted into digital tokens, traded in real production conditions, and converted back — without disrupting anything. Nadine Chakar joins The Defiant to explain the digital twin model, why they chose Besu and Canton, what the Russell 1000 SEC authorization covers, and what realistic demand will look like at October's launch. She also confronts the big philosophical question: did blockchain disrupt Wall Street, or did Wall Street absorb blockchain? The answer might surprise you.Explore The Defiant ✨

Jason Hitchcock is CEO of Greenlane Holdings (Nasdaq: GNLN), the only US-listed vehicle purpose-built to hold BERA, the native token of the Berachain network, and to put that treasury to work inside the chain's Proof of Liquidity economy. Before taking the job in February he spent fifteen years on the business side of technology startups — a venture studio that sold an app to Amazon, a stint at Twitch, then a liquid token fund launched off the back of a DeFi Summer obsession — and most recently ran business development at thirdweb, where he built out chain infrastructure partnerships across more than 150 networks. Why you should listen Greenlane's origin story was as a cannabis accessories distributor that rode the boom and the bust of that industry before the Berachain Foundation went looking for a public-market proxy for a token with no ETF and no ETP. A $110.7 million private placement led by Polychain Capital — half cash and stablecoins, half BERA — brought in a new board, new management and eventually Jason himself. The legacy business survives as an asset-light drop-shipping operation that helps cover overhead. Everything else points at one asset. Greenlane held roughly 77.7 million BERA at the end of the first quarter, close to a third of circulating supply, and grew BERA-per-share about 44 percent over three months while booking an $18.4 million net loss on fair-value markdowns. That combination — accumulating fast while the mark-to-market bleeds — is the whole digital asset treasury trade in miniature. The argument underneath is more interesting than the balance sheet. Jason's view is that "chain revenue" as the industry reports it is largely a fiction: what those league tables measure is gas burned, money that is destroyed rather than routed to anyone. Berachain inverts the model. Rather than paying the security budget entirely to validators, a large share of emissions is directed to the businesses building on the chain, which use it for customer acquisition and financing, and which bid for those emissions in a validator marketplace — fifty or seventy cents on the dollar for incentives that will grow their protocol. That bid is the revenue, and it flows back to token holders with a claim on it. Protocols like Kodiak, the dominant DEX on the network, and lending market Dolomite are the practical expression of it. Greenlane doesn't just hold the asset; it runs validators, stakes into Proof of Liquidity, and lends its stablecoins into DeFi and onto stable pairs to earn trading fees. Jason frames the company as a signal to the market that there is a buyer in size, permanently. He is candid that this is a rough season to be doing any of it. Equities and precious metals have run while crypto has languished, and he catalogues the disconnect with a certain incredulity: DTCC tokenizing assets, Nasdaq experimenting with blockchain settlement, Stripe with its own chain, Druckenmiller predicting all money becomes stablecoins, BlackRock and Franklin Templeton shipping tokenized funds. Headlines that would have detonated the 2021 market barely register now. His read on what breaks the drought is not a narrative but an invisibility: crypto disappearing into the back end of ordinary products, users earning yield or settling in stablecoins without ever knowing it, and several more zeros of participants arriving without wallets. The CLARITY Act sits in the background as the regulatory unlock, still stalled in the Senate. In the hot take round he lands firmly as a multi-chain opportunist, argues that blockchains are a generic public database technology that will proliferate along distribution lines, and picks Curve Finance as his example of the future already being here — narrow, well-defined DAO governance operating at genuine scale, which he thinks is the model everyone else got wrong.  Supporting links Stabull Finance Greenlane Holdings Greenlane on Twitter Jason on Twitter Andy on Twitter Brave New Coin on Twitter Brave New Coin

Sued by Michigan, hit with a restraining order, then rescued by a CFTC emergency power invoked only four times in the agency's history, most recently during Jimmy Carter's Cold War grain embargo. Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, Jessi Brooks, and Vy Le untangle how a fight over sports event contracts became a battle over federal preemption, why Kalshi also pulled its flight cancellation contracts under public pressure, and the insider-trading allegation swirling around a Trump teleprompter operator. They also cover Japan's new financial instruments law, which cuts crypto's tax rate from as high as 55% to a flat 20% and is already pulling Amazon Japan's delivery drivers onto yen stablecoins. Then there's DTCC's live settlement of tokenized securities with JPMorgan, Goldman, and BlackRock, which Vy Le argues could end the era of synthetic wrapper tokens. And the Clarity Act, still stuck on ethics and yield disputes as the midterms eat into Congress's calendar.

On this episode of CoinDesk's Public Keys from the New York Stock Exchange, Jennifer Sanasie is joined by Ben Emons, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of FedWatch Advisors, to break down the market fallout from Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 and why the Fed is now actively debating rate hikes rather than cuts ahead of the August 7th CLARITY Act deadline. Nadine Chakar, Managing Director and Global Head of Digital Assets at DTCC, explains how the firm moved tokenized securities into live production and outlines DTCC's role as an institutional multi-chain orchestrator ahead of a full commercial launch. The conversation turns to ETF flows, where Bitcoin funds finished last week with $76 million in net inflows despite a $425 million outflow on Monday alone, and Ethereum ETFs outpaced Bitcoin inflows led by $135 million into BlackRock's ETHA. Finally, Bilal Little, Global ETF Strategist at Direxion, unpacks the debut of BTCU and EVMU — the industry's first 2x leveraged spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs — explains why an ETF wrapper beats margin on a crypto exchange for retail traders, and responds to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas's thesis that Bitcoin ETFs will mirror gold's 22-year "triumph and pain" trajectory.

The DTCC processed live production trades involving tokenized stocks, ETFs, and U.S. Treasuries with participation from firms including JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, and Vanguard. Matt explains why this is one of the clearest signs yet that tokenization is moving beyond pilot programs and into the core infrastructure of U.S. financial markets.The episode also covers Orange Juice's plan to buy cash-flowing businesses and use them as Bitcoin treasury companies, Volvo's latest blockchain experiment, the ethics fight holding up the Clarity Act, and the Senate's unanimous opposition to any pardon for Sam Bankman-Fried. Matt also looks at Europe's post-MiCA compliance problems, Tether freezing $131 million connected to Iranian sanctions, and Visa finally acknowledging that stablecoins may be better suited than card networks for machine-to-machine micropayments.Happy Hodling, Everyone.

The Last Trade: Jackson, Michael, and Brian make the case that Bitcoin is carving out a structural bottom as old-coin distribution collapses and the worst of ETF and treasury-company selling exhausts itself. They break down Japan reclassifying crypto as a financial product and slashing its effective tax rate from 55% toward 20%. They dig into why the Clarity Act, not the administration, is the real green light for Wall Street. They close on Morgan Stanley's $4 to $8 trillion AI capex wave and the launch of Onramp's Back to the Basics campaign.---

 EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Wei Zhou, CEO of Coins.ph, to dig into how they're building stablecoin infrastructure that's genuinely changing lives in the Philippines and beyond. Wei walked me through his journey from Goldman Sachs to Binance CFO to buying Coins.ph from Gojek in 2022 and rebuilding it from scratch. We talked about why the Philippines has become a global leader in stablecoin adoption, how they slashed payment fees from 4-8% down to near-zero for Filipino freelancers, and why Wei believes every country needs its own blockchain currency , not just a blockchain dollar. We also got into the Genius Act, the Clarity Act, the upcoming wave of tokenized assets, and what it will take for stablecoins to go truly global. This one is packed with real-world insight from someone actually in the trenches of building payments infrastructure at the intersection of crypto and emerging markets. DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

"They're funding institutional businesses with lower interest rates by stealing from retail and they don't want you to know this." BitGo CEO Mike Belshe criticizes the traditional banking system in this episode of the Bitcoin Magazine Podcast. He explains why depositors earn 0% while the risk-free rate sits near 4%, how bank failures like SVB keep happening, and why stablecoins and reserve banks offer a safer path forward. Plus: his response to Elizabeth Warren's attack on OCC trust charters.

Bitcoin rebounds after hitting a fresh 21-month low, below its 200-week moving average — but underneath the panic, whales just made THE LARGEST single Bitcoin accumulation spike EVER recorded on chain: 270,000 BTC scooped up at $59K, bigger than the COVID bottom (150K) and the FTX bottom. Cantor Fitzgerald says the bear market is entering its FINAL stretch, projecting a late October bottom based on historical cycles. Metaplanet added 2,823 BTC to push its stack past 43,000. Robinhood just went 24/5 as DTCC's new 24x5 clearing goes live — Wall Street is officially catching up to crypto's 24/7 reality. Meanwhile the biggest stablecoin launch in history just dropped: 140+ giants — BlackRock, Visa, Stripe, Mastercard, Amex, Google, Coinbase, Ripple — launched Open USD (OUSD), a USDC killer that crashed Circle stock 15% overnight. Add June's brutal Marubozu candle (worst month since June 2022), Fed rate HIKE fears from Kevin Warsh, Strategy's $1.25 BILLION sell authorization, and Trump's disclosed $1.4 BILLION in 2025 crypto earnings blowing up Clarity Act ethics negotiations — and we break down whether smart money just called the bottom, or if this is a whale trap before the next leg lower.

Crypto infrastructure and institutional capital are being repositioned beneath the noise of the World Cup. On July 18, six federal agencies finalize GENIUS Act stablecoin rules — one year after enactment — quietly resetting who can issue, how much capital they need, and where value capture actually sits.

Denelle Dixon, CEO and Executive Director of the Stellar Development Foundation, joined me to discuss how institutions such as the DTCC and governments, including Bermuda, are adopting the Stellar blockchain.Topics: - DTCC picked Stellar as the first public blockchain to connect to its upcoming tokenized securities settlement platform - MoneyGram launches MGUSD, a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin on Stellar - Bermuda Taps Stellar Network to Build the World's First Fully Onchain National Economy - Crypto's impact on Web Monetization Brought to you by

Bitcoin has just 4 weeks of Senate floor time before August recess to pass the Clarity Act — the bill that could unlock billions in sidelined institutional capital — and the political clock just got brutal. Trump is refusing to sign the housing bill (which carries the four-year CBDC ban) unless lawmakers approve a voter-ID bill, threatening the entire legislative track, while JPMorgan officially endorsed the Clarity Act today but loaded it with stablecoin restrictions designed to protect their deposit business. But the bull signals are stacking: DTCC's NSCC just went 24x5 (Wall Street catching up to crypto's 24/7 reality), and Fidelity outlined 5 catalysts that could end the bear market.

In this crypto town hall show, Dave, Scott, and Peter Schiff discuss Michael Saylor and Strategy's new manifesto and market reaction. Topics include Strategy's long-term Bitcoin appreciation bet with no near-term selling or buying, 25-month reserves via preferreds, share repurchases, dividends, and capped BTC sales. They analyze MSTR outperforming in BTC rallies but lagging in flat markets, STRC as high-yield debt tied to future Bitcoin price, and dismissal of 2022-style forced liquidation waves. Crypto sentiment covers retail exodus and fear versus net platform buys and Solana's surprising strength and adoption. Ethereum foundation shifts are noted. The core debate examines token economics and valuations: Bitcoin as unmatched digital gold with superior security and global PoW access, versus utility tokens on Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, single-use chains, and compute tokens potentially accruing value through fees, tokenization, or agentic commerce — or remaining narrative-driven distortions like the internet bubble, without real economics flowing to holders per DTCC-style analogies. Regulatory challenges around the Howey test and token pass-through are touched on, alongside a light Dogecoin versus Bitcoin exchange. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Stellar (XLM) has been one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies in recent weeks, fueled by growing speculation surrounding its role in the future of tokenized finance and digital asset infrastructure. I break down the recent surge in XLM, the significance of the DTCC announcement, and why institutional adoption narratives are once again putting Stellar in the spotlight. We discuss tokenization, blockchain-based settlement, real-world asset infrastructure, and whether Stellar is positioned to play a meaningful role in the next generation of financial markets. Is this the beginning of a larger move for XLM, or just another short-term rally?

Enter EquiDeFi, a platform designed to simplify regulated investment crowdfunding. In today's episode, Mohit Bhansali, CEO of EquiDeFi, explained how the platform stands apart by offering technology-driven solutions for entrepreneurs seeking to raise millions and investors aiming for easier participation.EquiDeFi empowers entrepreneurs to raise up to $75 million under Regulation A offerings, considerably more than Regulation CF's $5 million cap. “We've raised nearly $200 million for our clients with many offerings still ongoing,” Mohit shared. Emphasizing affordability, he added, “The economics of these platforms need to work.” EquiDeFi's business model eliminates the need for issuers to rely on broker dealers, reducing costs and delivering the tools needed for compliance and investor onboarding.The platform also incorporates cutting-edge features like credit card payments, cryptocurrency options, and investor accreditation workflows. Remarkably, they've helped an 86-year-old investor navigate the process in under ten minutes. By ensuring fast, streamlined participation for investors of all backgrounds, Mohit aims to make equity crowdfunding accessible and convenient.What sets EquiDeFi apart is its modularity. Mohit clarified, “Issuers can decide how they market or whether to engage a broker dealer.” This flexibility allows startups to manage costs while leveraging features like compliance tools and Know Your Customer (KYC) processes.The vision doesn't stop at functionality. EquiDeFi is working on implementing artificial intelligence tools to help entrepreneurs preview and refine their offerings through mock environments. These innovations help issuers experiment with their campaigns before fully launching, offering insights critical to success.This episode highlighted the importance of inclusivity, simplicity, and education in transforming the investment process. Mohit and EquiDeFi are paving the way for entrepreneurs to reach their communities while enabling smoother, frictionless investing opportunities.If your company needs to raise up to $75 million or you're curious about alternative investment opportunities, EquiDeFi's innovative platform is worth exploring.tl;dr:Mohit Bhansali explained how EquiDeFi simplifies Regulation A crowdfunding for businesses raising up to $75 million.EquiDeFi provides modular tools for compliance, marketing flexibility, and integrating cryptocurrency payment options.A human-first, service-oriented approach distinguishes EquiDeFi while leveraging efficient technology like AI workflows.Mohit emphasized lessons from his immigrant upbringing and professional journey that shaped his commitment to service.Entrepreneurs are encouraged to explore inexpensive, flexible tools for raising capital through equity crowdfunding platforms.How to Develop Service As a SuperpowerMohit's superpower is service, grounded in humility, listening, and a commitment to community building. Reflecting on lessons from his father, Mohit shared, “Service is going to be important.” This ethos drives EquiDeFi's customer-first approach, where employees provide direct human support to investors and entrepreneurs alike. “We use AI to assist, but when escalations happen, we put a real voice behind it,” Mohit explained, emphasizing his dedication to both using technology and creating human connections for better engagement.Mohit's focus on service stems from personal experience. Growing up as a young immigrant in Brooklyn, his father—a practicing surgeon at 81—taught him the importance of building trust and community as a foundation for success. At EquiDeFi, Mohit hires former musicians, citing their teamwork and fan engagement skills over traditional finance experience. “They bring a different perspective,” Mohit noted, highlighting his drive to create a culture that prioritizes collaboration.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Practice Humility: Approach every situation willing to learn from others, regardless of your role or credentials.Actively Listen: Take time to deeply understand customers' and colleagues' needs before offering solutions.Build Trust: Prioritize relationships that foster genuine support and service within your community or organization.Be Accessible: Use technology for efficiency but provide human interaction for escalations or personalized support.Value Diversity: Embrace nontraditional perspectives by hiring individuals with unique life experiences.By following Mohit's example and advice, you can make service a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

When BlackRock needed to tokenize their first fund, they called Securitize. When the New York Stock Exchange decided to trade stocks 24/7 on-chain, they called Securitize. In this interview, CEO Carlos Domingo reveals why the DTCC is repeating the same fatal mistake the telecom companies made when WhatsApp arrived, why the banks actually need the Clarity Act far more than crypto does, and what happens when AI agents start trading tokenized assets in real time. Carlos breaks down the Jump Trading partnership, how atomic swaps are replacing T+1 settlement, why BlackRock choosing Securitize changed everything for institutional adoption, and his vision for a future where tokenized stocks, ETFs, and AI-powered portfolios all live in one wallet — and you don't even know you're using a blockchain.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Mamadou Kwidjim Toure, co-founder of U-Tribe and GIFT (Gold International Fungible Token), to explore one of the most ambitious real-world asset projects I've come across. Mamadou spent decades in banking and early-stage investing across Africa , including in the first GSM projects and mobile payments before M-Pesa , and he turned that experience into a mission: giving anyone on earth access to physical, one-to-one backed gold from as little as 15 cents. We talk about why central banks are quietly buying more physical gold than at any point in the past 40 years, why the gold ETF market is dangerously over-encumbered, and how GIFT's MiCA-regulated token could become the financial safety net for 2.5 billion people across 35 countries. Mamadou also walks me through their quantum-enhanced wallet, their Ubuntu Academy for financial and digital literacy, and their upcoming STO launching in July. This one is packed with insight on the real shift happening in global finance right now. DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

Brad Spies runs Consensus, the 11-year-old big-tent crypto conference operated by CoinDesk. On day three of Consensus Miami 2026 he sits down with David Sencil to walk through what's actually different this year: 15,000 attendees, JP Morgan, Fidelity, Schwab, DTCC and Swift on the sponsor list, and 1,200 "normie businesses" reached out to about stablecoin onboarding.He's also candid about the Gensler-era detour to Toronto, the 2022 Austin apex (Method Man, Red Man, Disclosure, Celsius the day after), and his own crypto origin story: he bought his first Bitcoin in 2013 and sold it almost immediately.

Ondo Finance is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that bridges traditional finance and blockchain by tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs). It allows users globally to gain on-chain exposure to secure, income-generating assets, such as U.S. Treasuries and publicly traded equities. ~This episode is sponsored by Uphold~ Uphold Staking ➜ https://bit.ly/UpholdStakingPB GUEST: Ian De Bode, CEO at Ondo Finance Buy Ondo Stocks on Jupiter ➜ https://bit.ly/ONDOjupiter 00:10 Sponsor: Uphold 00:60 DTCC mob boss 02:10 Top tokenized stocks platform 04:20 Why are you still 24/5? not 24/7 06:10 Holding pre-IPOs during launch 08:20 ONDO perps launch date? 10:10 SpaceX reckoning? 12:00 Will SpaceX trigger circuit breaker? 13:00 SpaceX to sell Bitcoin for excess cash? 14:15 Tokenized shares of private companies 16:00 24/5 vs 24/7? 17:30 Explain Ondo x DTCC relationship 21:45 Is going through the DTCC the only way? 23:00 ONDO distribution 24:30 Does ONDO need clarity to pass? 26:00 Will ONDO benefit if CLARITY doesn't pass? #Crypto #Ethereum #Ondo ~Ondo About To Explode

Charlie Durkin is Principal Solutions Lead at Chainlink Labs, where he works with the world's largest banks, asset managers, and market infrastructures on bringing capital markets onchain. A decade at Citigroup – five years in investment banking and debt capital markets, then five more in product management building the actual rails – gives him a grounded view of the gap between TradFi reality and crypto's promises, and what it will take to close it. Why you should listen Charlie's path from Citi's product team to Chainlink is the perfect frame for this conversation. He's lived inside the legacy plumbing of capital markets and now spends his days helping institutions migrate workflows to blockchain rails without throwing out the existing infrastructure they're built on. His explanation of Chainlink itself is refreshingly concrete: not a competing L1, but the middleware connecting blockchains to each other and to the offchain world – an oracle network at its core, expanded into a full orchestration layer via the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE). The "give us an API and we'll connect you securely to the blockchain ecosystem" framing is exactly how Chainlink keeps showing up in the headlines alongside DTCC, Swift, UBS, Euroclear, JPMorgan, BNY Mellon and Franklin Templeton. The tokenization discussion is where Charlie shines. The popular narrative is "tokenize everything"; his lived experience is that the interesting frontier is tokenizing cash. Stablecoins are becoming foundational market infrastructure because instant settlement is too compelling to ignore, but they don't work on a bank's balance sheet – under GENIUS Act rules, stablecoins must be backed one-for-one with HQLA, meaning banks lose the benefit of fractionalized reserves. That's why tokenized deposits are now the hottest conversation in institutional finance: same rails, same settlement story, but compatible with how banks actually run their balance sheets. Charlie also pushes back on the tokenized equities hype, arguing that "mirror tokenization" of stocks bolts complexity onto an already complex system (corporate actions, final settlement, CSD reconciliation), and that the real unlock comes only after cash is natively onchain. At that point native equity and debt issuance starts to make sense on its own terms. Andy and Charlie dig into the harder questions: where the institutional friction actually lives (legal, compliance, security, operational integration – not the business case, which everyone now buys), how procurement teams trained on on-prem-to-cloud transitions are now having to wrap their heads around decentralized infrastructure, and why Chainlink's defense-in-depth architecture – independent node operators, cryptographic consensus, geographic redundancy – is what lets GSIBs sign off on production deployments. Charlie pulls in the standards-and-scale argument with sharp historical analogies: rail gauges for industrialisation, standardised shipping containers for global trade, US GAAP for capital allocation, TCP/IP for the internet. Financial markets need standards before they can scale, and no institution wants to integrate ten different blockchains ten different ways. The hot take round delivers a multi-chain opportunist stance, a contrarian view on tokenised equity headlines, a 10-year vision in which blockchain rails disappear entirely from the user experience, and a callout to the recent DTCC Collateral AppChain announcement – built on Chainlink's CRE, slated for Q4 2026 – as the first glimpse of an onchain capital markets future that's already arriving.

Is big money choosing Solana? Kyle Samani, co-founder of Forward, breaks down his latest deal on the main stage at Solana, a minority stake in Henri, a reinsurance RWA yielding 12-13%, funded by a Galaxy debt facility at 3.5%. He makes the case for why Solana has quietly become the dominant chain for institutional payments, tokenized equities, and real world assets. From Western Union and Visa to Meta and PayPal, the biggest names in finance are all building on the same rails. Plus, why he thinks most altcoins are bleeding out, Ethereum L2s are in trouble, and why this bear market might be the best investing opportunity in crypto right now. - Timecodes: 00:00 - Kyle Samani at Consensus Miami 2026 02:08 - Bear Markets Are Where Winners Are Born 03:30 - Why Solana Is Winning Payments and RWAs 06:00 - DTCC's Tokenized Equities Pilot and SEC's Project Crypto 08:48 - Building a Market Maker With Claude Code 10:00 - Agentic Payments and the x402 Protocol 13:46 - Why Institutions Pick Public Chains Over Walled Gardens 15:43 - Why Solana: Gas, On-Ramps, Neutrality 17:21 - Are Ethereum L2s in Trouble?

A video recently went viral of Larry Fink, head of BlackRock, calling for Americans to invest their retirement savings and pension funds into AI data centers. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that once investment becomes "mandatory," choice is removed and your 401(k) becomes collateral repurposed to support the globalist agenda—with risk and loss staying with you while upside and control go to the billionaires building the infrastructure. Catherine Austin Fitts explains that most people don't actually own their 401(k)s; they hold a "claim" through the DTCC, meaning their savings can be reallocated without their consent into centralized AI and energy grids.  The two hosts assert that the real purpose of massive centralized AI data centers is not productivity but control—specifically to enable central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) that will monitor every transaction in real time, with universal basic income (UBI) being the mechanism to force people to accept microchips under their skin. Jimmy concludes that the "race against China" is a psyop to get the public to comply without asking questions, and that the ICE prisons being built are not for immigrants but for Americans who eventually resist this takeover. Plus segments on Tucker Carlson railing against the predatory credit card industry, an Israeli released after being arrested for running an illicit biolab in Las Vegas and how Republicans proved that the "Force the Vote" strategy would work.

The financial world may have just crossed a major line in the sand for blockchain technology. In today's episode, we break down the huge news surrounding the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) and its decision to move forward with a specific blockchain-based infrastructure for parts of its record keeping and settlement systems. When the organization responsible for clearing and settling trillions of dollars in securities starts embracing blockchain technology… people should pay attention. This isn't just another crypto headline. This is institutional finance evolving in real time. We'll discuss: Why the DTCC move is such a big deal What blockchain technology offers traditional finance How tokenization and settlement systems are changing Which projects and sectors could benefit most from adoption And the momentum doesn't stop there. Major financial firms are making aggressive moves into stablecoins and digital payments, including: Block Mastercard Ally Financial The message is becoming clear: blockchain is no longer just a crypto experiment—it's becoming financial infrastructure. We'll break down what this means for: traditional banking payment systems crypto markets and long-term investors trying to position ahead of the curve. Listen now:

Our Global Head of Banks and Diversified Finance Research Betsy Graseck explains how digital assets could reshape market infrastructure and how money moves, without overthrowing wholesale banking.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Betsy Graseck: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Betsy Graseck, Morgan Stanley's Global Head of Banks and Diversified Finance Research.Today, we are looking out to 2030 to estimate what we expect the impact of digital assets could be on global wholesale banking.It's Monday, May 18th at 3:30 PM in New York.We live in a world where money can move instantly. A payment or transfer can happen in a matter of minutes, if not seconds, in real time. But much of the financial system runs on older networks for moving cash and securities. These networks are what the industry calls rails. We expect clients will be looking for faster settlement across global banking services, driving the industry to adopt digital asset rails over the next decade.We see three key drivers pushing this today. Number one, market support is out there for fintechs, which is increasing their competitiveness. Number two, global legislation and regulation is clarifying requirements for enabling digital asset services led by the U.S. with the Genius Act in 2025, and with the forward motion being made on the Clarity Act in 2026. The third driver of digital asset transformation is that exchanges are extending hours and moving towards offering 24/7 capabilities over the next several years.Now, we expect digital assets will have two major impacts on global wholesale banks. First, as banks lean into servicing crypto assets, we see the potential for an additional $1.5 [billion] to $8 billion in revenues in 2030, which adds up to 1 percent to our global wholesale banks revenue forecast of $770 billion in 2030.Second, impact on global wholesale banks is a risk. There is risk when money is in motion, and money could be set in motion as clients migrate revenues from traditional asset rails to digital asset rails. We anticipate this could impact $21 billion to $82 billion of revenues in 2030, primarily in cross-border payments, liquidity management, collateral management, businesses.Now, while this transformation is likely to impact the industry over the next decade as more services go digital, we expect several catalysts in the second half will focus investor attention on these changes now. What are those catalysts? Number one, Clarity Act. The Clarity Act passing Congress would open up the door for wholesale banks to service crypto asset class more holistically.Second catalyst, the DTCC, which is a major infrastructure player for securities markets in the U.S. The DTCC will be adding tokenized products in the fall of 2026. And then lastly, Nasdaq and NYSE are planning to extend trading hours on December 6th, 2026, to 23 hours by five days a week.Now, what should investors make of all of this? Number one critical to understand how the investments that you have today are positioned for this transformation. Are managements protecting their strengths by developing capabilities for an ecosystem increasingly run on digital rails?Thanks for listening.
