Bijan Maleki and Kris Bullock are back to break down a potentially important shift in the macro setup for crypto. With the U.S. Treasury stepping up long-dated bond buybacks, long-end yields are falling and the dollar is weakening, conditions that could become increasingly supportive for bitcoin, gold, and other risk assets.

This week, we've got a very special guest joining us for this week's crypto news — Peter Stanhope, General Manager Australia at Nexo.Peter has spent almost a decade at IG Australia, co-founded superannuation startup GigSuper, ran Capital.com's Australian operations, jumped the fence into crypto with Banxa, and now heads up Nexo here in Australia — just as they've launched regulated crypto-backed credit lines Down Under.Welcome, Peter!So what have we got for you this week?First up, we're going inside Nexo with Peter to find out how a crypto platform went from a 2018 startup to more than 7 million customers — and what regulated crypto-backed lending actually looks like for Australians.Then, California has had enough of politician memecoins. Its legislature has unanimously voted to ban public officials from launching their own coins — because apparently this is a problem we now need laws for.And finally, we've got 4,000 goats, an insane wage law and a prediction market. A California goat-herding company has literally hedged the risk of a $240,000 wage bill by betting on whether the government will fix the law.Let's get into it.

Bitcoin is hitting a crucial test zone as macroeconomic pressure mounts, but the charts point to a major setup in the altcoin market. In this episode, Paul Barron and Tim Warren break down the latest market pullback in BTC and why Solana is positioning itself as a prime candidate to lead the next major bull expansion. With fresh inflation figures hitting the tape and the Federal Reserve leaving market participants on edge over potential interest rate hikes, macro headwinds are squeezing risk assets. We analyze how liquidity dynamics, on-chain sentiment, and key chart levels are forming a unique opportunity for high-beta altcoins, starting with SOL. -----------------------------------------------------00:00 Intro00:10 Sponsor Uphold Exa Card01:15 Kevin Warsh: Fed's 2% inflation target “firm and fixed”02:30 Fed decision fakeout?05:50 BTC buy level?08:20 SOL Double Disinflation Passed09:50 Solana analysis12:00 Chainlink analysis16:00 Solana price targets19:00 Tom Lee: if your underexposed on crypto23:03 Ethereum analysis25:50 HYPE analysis27:30 AVAX analysis29:30 Tim's top altcoins⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paul-barron-crypto-show--4747781/support.Join our community!Barron Market Edge (FREE)➜ https://www.paulbarronnetwork.com/barron-market-edge-signupPrivate Telegram Group (FREE) ➜ https://t.me/+nISqoMxrok40NTcxSubscribe on YouTube ✅ https://bit.ly/PBNYoutubeSubscribeX/Twitter

Roman Storm's retrial slides to April 2027. Peter Van Valkenburgh argues prosecuting Tornado Cash's developers cost real ground in zero knowledge cryptography. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsors! Visit 1inch to swap tokenized securities, crypto and more. Simple. Secure. Self-custodial. Whatever asset you're buying - swap it at http://unchainedcrypto.com/go/1inch-sn ======================================================== Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has declared "economic D-Day" on Iran, leaving an open question over whether the sanctions crackdown reaches Uniswap and Ethereum or stops at Iranian exchanges, where humans are in the loop. Kain Warwick and Taylor Monahan take that gap to Peter Van Valkenburgh, executive director of Coin Center, whose defense of the Tornado Cash developers rests as much on zero knowledge cryptography as on sanctions law. They cover the GENIUS Act's freeze and seize rules for the stablecoin secondary market and Roman Storm's retrial, now pushed to April 2027, where speech protections clash with prosecutors' "frying pan" theory of money transmission. The SEC's proposed exemptions, the stalled Clarity Act, and Trump's Hyperliquid all raise the same question: where does decentralization end and regulation begin?

Adam Lynch (@CharlesSchwab) offers his big picture take on the state of the crypto space following Bitcoin's recent rally. On the Clarity Act, Adam outlines the legislative path Congress has to navigate before passage. It comes as other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Solana, and Hyperliquid surge on anticipation of deeper regulation.

In this episode of Milk Road Crypto, Fundstrat's Tom Lee breaks down why he believes Ethereum is still “vastly, vastly undervalued”, and why the next five years of crypto could be defined by ETH, tokenization, AI agents, and Wall Street moving financial assets onchain. After Ethereum's explosive rally and massive crypto short squeeze, Tom explains why he believes this could be the start of a much larger move rather than another temporary bounce. He also reveals why Bitmine has accumulated more than $14 billion worth of ETH, why it is targeting 5% of Ethereum's total supply, and why he believes even Ethereum's previous all-time highs could significantly undervalue the network's long-term opportunity.~~~~~

Binance Co-CEO Richard Teng on Tokenized Stocks, RWA Perps, and the US QuestionTokenized stock volume went from under $1 billion in mid-2025 to tens of billions a month in 2026, and RWA perpetuals are now trading at close to parity with Bitcoin perps on the biggest venues. Binance sits at the center of that shift, holding roughly half of tokenized stock perp volume.I sat down with Richard Teng, Co-CEO of Binance, to ask what's actually driving the growth, whether it's speculation or structural demand, and the question everyone in the US keeps asking: does any of this ever land onshore?00:10 Sponsor iTrust00:50 BNB joins Mastercard02:15 Liquidity beyond crypto05:30 CLARITY impact on Binance07:45 What if CLARITY doesn't pass?08:50 bStocks: 24month prediction11:20 bStocks moving fast13:20 BNB beating Solana14:30 Bloomberg: HYPE was an unprecedented move16:45 Binance seek US compliant perp-trading through a separate registered entity?17:15 Tethers audit global impact18:50 Tokenized gold vs BTC adoption20:00 Blockchain Week announcements?⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paul-barron-crypto-show--4747781/support.Join our community!Barron Market Edge (FREE)➜ https://www.paulbarronnetwork.com/barron-market-edge-signupPrivate Telegram Group (FREE) ➜ https://t.me/+nISqoMxrok40NTcxSubscribe on YouTube ✅ https://bit.ly/PBNYoutubeSubscribeX/Twitter
I'm Blake, and Tracey is taking a break this week, but you're not stuck with just me. We've got two great co-hosts joining us.First, a returning favourite, seasoned digital asset investor Ben Ritchie is back on the show. And making his debut behind the mic, James Brannan.And before we get into it, a quick favour: we'd love you to take our two-minute listener survey. Your feedback genuinely helps us make the show better, and there's a link in the show notes.Now, Ben and James, you've picked quite a week to jump behind the mic.Bitcoin has absolutely ripped. After months of grinding sideways and down, it jumped 22% in a single week, going from around $64,000 to almost $80,000 — its best week since 2023.And this wasn't just one thing.The US Treasury started pumping more liquidity into the market. Trump invited one of crypto's biggest offshore exchanges to come into America. And the SEC just proposed its first crypto-specific fundraising framework in 90 years.So, what's actually going on?

Some crypto products work with multiple chains on different post-quantum paths. NEAR's Illia Polosukhin and Ledger's Charles Guillemet discuss how they manage that challenge. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! Visit 1inch.com to swap tokenized securities, crypto and more. Simple. Secure. Self-custodial. Whatever asset you're buying - swap it at 1inch.com ======================================================== In March, a Google research team published a paper on breaking cryptographic keys with a quantum algorithm, so cautious about the finding that it released only a zero-knowledge proof the algorithm existed. Weeks later, an EigenLayer AI competition improved on that method in roughly 48 hours. Illia Polosukhin, co-founder of NEAR Protocol, and Charles Guillemet, CTO of Ledger, join Laura Shin for an update on the quantum threat whose deadline could be approaching fast. Both are creating products that deal with multiple chains that all have different post-quantum approaches. They discuss why, of the three NIST-standardized, post-quantum algorithms, the crypto industry has splintered into different chains working with different ones, whereas most industries are converging on one, called lattice-based. They also debate what to do with Satoshi Nakamoto's bitcoins: do nothing, freeze them, or freeze and tail-emit new bitcoin, an option Guillemet favors even though Bitcoin's leaderless governance makes consensus hard to reach.

Bitcoin briefly broke above $80,000, reaching roughly $81,100, before profit-taking pushed it back into the upper $70Ks. Matt explains why $80K remains an important psychological resistance level, with investors who bought higher finally getting opportunities to exit and newer buyers sitting on substantial gains. He argues that a pullback toward $75K or even the low $70Ks would still be normal, while a sustained move back below $70K would make the rally look more like another bear-market bounce. The episode also covers nearly $2 billion in Bitcoin ETF inflows last week, Coinbase launching tokenized stocks on Base, Franklin Templeton expanding tokenized money-market funds in Asia, and BitMine buying roughly $81 million of Ethereum. Matt also looks at the political pressure surrounding the CLARITY Act and GENIUS Act implementation, while warning that the Fear & Greed Index at 80 shows just how quickly sentiment has shifted from fear to extreme greed.

Was this the greatest week in crypto history? On this episode of The Crypto Rundown, host Mark Longo is joined by Pat Wood, President and CEO of DelphX Capital Markets, to break down an explosive week across the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin comes roaring back with a massive rally and surging ETF inflows, while activity and volatility heat up in IBIT and MSTR. We examine what the move means for Bitcoin traders, whether this rally has staying power, and why Pat believes the next generation of digital asset treasuries needs to think beyond simply buying and holding. Then we venture into the Altcoin Universe, where the rally is spreading fast. Ethereum finally wakes up, Solana shows signs of life, XRP surges, and HYPE/Hyperliquid continues to generate serious buzz. We also examine the wild options activity in ETHA, BMNR, Circle (CRCL), and PUR, including the rush for upside exposure as crypto traders embrace the rally. Plus, we discuss: Bitcoin's monster weekly rally and whether it can continue The resurgence in IBIT options volume and volatility MSTR, Michael Saylor and the future of digital asset treasury strategies Using covered calls and collars in crypto Ethereum's dramatic comeback The latest action in Solana, XRP, Dogecoin and other altcoins The growing excitement surrounding Hyperliquid and HYPE Why crypto market structure may be entering a new phase

Who is actually capturing the value being created in crypto?In this episode, David Sencil sits down with Lorenzo Valente, Director of Research for Digital Assets at ARK Invest, to unpack a striking gap: centralized crypto companies generated roughly $70 billion in revenue in 2025, compared with only around $8 billion on-chain.Valente explains why centralized platforms are still closer to users, while many on-chain protocols continue to struggle with value accrual, token economics, and sustainable growth.The conversation also explores Hyperliquid, Pump.fun, Solana, and Ethereum, including whether aggressive token buybacks could limit long-term growth, why successful crypto apps may eventually launch their own chains, and where the next major wave of on-chain value could emerge.Topics include: The $70B vs. $8B crypto revenue gap Why centralized companies still capture more value Hyperliquid's token buyback strategy Whether successful apps will launch their own chains Pump.fun and the future of crypto applications Solana's battle for relevance Ethereum's institutional advantage Real-world assets and institutional adoption Whether memecoins will remain a major crypto narrative Can on-chain protocols eventually close the gap, or will centralized companies continue capturing most of crypto's economic value?
Thomas Coratger is a Researcher at the Ethereum Foundation.Quantum computers don't exist yet at the scale needed to threaten Ethereum. But they will, and Ethereum will be ready before they do!In this first episode of our Lean Ethereum series, Thomas walks through what the quantum threat actually is, how real it is, and when it could arrive. He explains which parts of Ethereum are most vulnerable, what a quantum attack would actually look like, and why average ETH holders don't need to panic. He also covers how AI is dramatically accelerating the EF's post-quantum research and why the full migration to quantum-safe Ethereum is on track for 2029.------
Bitcoin is pushing against the $80,000 barrier after one of its strongest weeks in months, driven by improving Treasury-market liquidity, nearly $2 billion in Bitcoin ETF inflows, short liquidations, and a fresh wave of FOMO. Matt explains why $80K could be difficult to break and hold as investors who bought at higher prices finally get a chance to exit, while $90K and $100K could create even larger psychological barriers. The episode also covers the CLARITY Act as a potential September catalyst, Strategy raising roughly $2 billion without buying more Bitcoin, Circle and the continued explosion of stablecoin activity, and huge weekly gains across XRP, Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, and Dogecoin. With the Fear & Greed Index already at 81, Matt remains cautious and says Bitcoin needs to break $80K and hold it before the conversation moves seriously toward $90K and beyond. Happy HODLing.

Bitcoin surged toward $80K as billions in short positions were liquidated, spot demand returned, and the market began questioning whether the crypto bottom is already behind us. But while Bitcoin is grabbing the headlines, Ethereum may be setting up for an even more important shift. In today's episode, LG and John explore why ETH could be positioned to outperform Bitcoin, what the breakout from Ethereum's decade-long trend against BTC could signal, and why tokenization, stablecoins, institutional adoption, and AI agents could become major long-term drivers of the Ethereum ecosystem.~~~~~

What a week! Crypto surged. Bond yields jumped. Technology stocks got hit. Economic data kept traders guessing. And now Wall Street is preparing for one of the biggest earnings reports of the quarter. In today's Trading Week Wrap Up!, we'll connect the dots between the biggest market-moving stories of the week and, more importantly, discuss what they could mean as we head into a potentially HUGE week for the markets. Let's start with crypto. Bitcoin is on pace for its best week in more than two years, surging more than 20% as improving regulatory sentiment, Washington's increasingly crypto-friendly stance, and changing liquidity expectations breathed life back into the beaten-down digital asset market. Ethereum and many altcoins joined the party as well. So... Is the crypto winter finally ending, or is this just another massive bear-market rally? We'll break it down. Then there's the bond market. Long-term Treasury yields remain elevated, creating another challenge for stocks—particularly high-growth technology and AI companies whose valuations can be extremely sensitive to borrowing costs and interest rates. The 30-year Treasury yield climbed to its highest level since 2007 this week, while semiconductor stocks came under significant pressure. We'll discuss: Crypto's huge rebound – Is Bitcoin signaling a genuine change in trend? Interest rates & bond yields – Why the bond market continues to be one of the biggest risks facing equities. Technology volatility – Is the recent weakness an opportunity, or are investors finally questioning some of those massive AI valuations? Economic data – What this week's numbers tell us about inflation, growth and the direction of Federal Reserve policy. The broader market – Where are we seeing strength, weakness and potential trading opportunities? And then...
Ethereum wants to slash staking yields toward zero. Gitcoin's Kevin Owocki, DV Labs' Oisín Kyne, and Ethereum-France's Jérôme de Tychey debate whether that breaks DeFi. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! Visit 1inch.com to swap tokenized securities, crypto and more. Simple. Secure. Self-custodial. Whatever asset you're buying - swap it at 1inch.com ======================================================== Ethereum's core developers are considering a decision that could cut ETH's staking yield toward zero, and DeFi's biggest names are furious about it. Jérôme de Tychey, President of Ethereum-France and a co-author of EIP-8363, joins Kevin Owocki, founder of Gitcoin, and Oisín Kyne, CEO of DV Labs, to argue through the proposal's tradeoffs. Aave's Stani Kulechov, Ether.fi's Mike Silagadze, and Joseph Chalom have all pushed back, warning the change guts DeFi's biggest source of yield. They cover the Nakamoto coefficient and why a 51% staking cartel could censor blocks for free, why solo stakers could see after-tax income collapse, and why Oisín is skeptical of an enshrined liquid staking token. Jérôme defends why Ethereum can pay stakers less and still be more secure than rivals boasting 7% yields. All Core Devs meets Thursday, August 20, and the real deadline lands October 26, when the network decides if EIP-8363 is mature enough to move forward.

Crypto News: Bitcoin pumps to $70K and Altcoins such as Ethereum, XRP, and Solana are on the move. Trump pushes Congress to move on Clarity Act during White House crypto event.
Bitcoin finally broke out, surging above $70,000 as several catalysts hit at once. Matt looks at Trump's White House meeting with crypto executives, Treasury moves supporting broader liquidity, and a massive short squeeze that wiped out roughly $2.7 billion in bearish positions. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs also brought in about $517 million, while Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Hyperliquid, and other major assets rallied even harder than Bitcoin. The episode also covers crypto stocks ripping alongside the market, continued expansion of XRP and tokenized-asset infrastructure, the CLARITY Act returning to the political conversation, and X reportedly exploring stablecoin payments. Matt remains cautiously bearish despite the rally, arguing that improving global liquidity and Treasury-market conditions are more important to watch than the White House meeting itself. Happy HODLing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Bijan Maleki and Kris Bullock are back to break down a potentially important shift in the macro setup for crypto. With the U.S. Treasury stepping up long-dated bond buybacks, long-end yields are falling and the dollar is weakening - conditions that could become increasingly supportive for bitcoin, gold, and other risk assets. Kris also digs into PUMP, which has recently overtaken Hyperliquid in 30-day protocol revenue, and explains why he's considering adding it to the Real Vision model portfolio. They compare the setup with HYPE, run through the usual crypto charts, and look for the strongest opportunities across the market.
