Downtown Denver has seen better days. A new Gensler survey shows only 55% of Denverites reported having a “great experience” downtown in 2024, down from more than 70% in surveys conducted in 2021 and 2023. But construction on the 16th St. Mall is supposed to be finished soon! And the mayor has a big, complicated plan to give the recovery an even bigger boost. So host Bree Davies is sitting down with Brad Segal, the founder and president of PUMA, a real estate economics and planning firm that consulted on the plan, to explain how the Denver Downtown Development Authority is supposed to bring life back downtown — and why its success matters to all Denverites.  It's time for our spring membership campaign!

The Trump administration's standoff with Harvard has frozen $2.2B in grants to the university. Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is a Harvard alumna as well as Chairwoman of the Republican Leadership, and she's calling to “defund Harvard.” For Rep. Stefanik, the government has a right to demand changes on campus and to withhold grant money. She discusses issues of free speech and antisemitism on college campuses. In his first interview since leaving office, former SEC Chair Gary Gensler weighs in on tariffs, negotiating with China, cryptocurrencies, and the betting markets. Plus, United Airlines is offering two profit outlooks, just in case the economy falls into a recession, and critical minerals may be the Trump administration's next target for tariffs.  Elise Stefanik - 12:30Gary Gensler - 31:11 In this episode:Rep.

De Amerikaanse beurswaakhond SEC lijkt de cryptosector een stuk vriendelijker tegemoet te treden dan voorheen. Waarnemend voorzitter Mark Uyeda gaf afgelopen week aan dat er een constructieve benadering nodig is om regelgeving vorm te geven. Dat is een opvallende koerswijziging, want onder Gary Gensler was de SEC uitgesproken vijandig richting crypto. Gensler beschouwde vrijwel elke coin als een effect, met uitzondering van Bitcoin. Hij beriep zich op de zogenaamde Howey Test om coins onder effectenwetgeving te laten vallen, maar die lijn hield in de rechtszaal niet altijd stand. Steeds meer rechtszaken, zoals die tegen Ripple, worden gestaakt. In dat specifieke geval laat de SEC zelfs het hoger beroep vallen. Die ontwikkeling hangt samen met het werk van de speciale Crypto Task Force binnen de SEC, die is opgezet om beter inzicht te krijgen in de sector. Afgelopen week organiseerde die groep voor het eerst een rondetafelgesprek met vertegenwoordigers uit de industrie. Het doel is volgens de SEC om een brug te slaan tussen wetgeving en innovatie, zonder de veiligheid van beleggers uit het oog te verliezen. Ondertussen lijkt de toezichthouder ook scherper te kiezen in haar handhavingsbeleid. Zo werd besloten dat het minen van Bitcoin niet onder effectenwetgeving valt. Daarmee krijgen grote Amerikaanse miningbedrijven zoals Marathon Digital en Riot eindelijk duidelijkheid, na jaren van onzekerheid. Ook vanuit andere hoeken in Washington kwam nieuws dat het sentiment rondom crypto kan beïnvloeden. Tornado Cash, het decentrale protocol voor het anonimiseren van transacties, staat niet langer op de Amerikaanse sanctielijst. In de prijsanalyse ziet Tim Stolte dat de cryptomarkt opgelucht lijkt te reageren op de wereldwijde economische signalen. De rente in de VS blijft stabiel, importheffingen zorgen niet voor paniek en altcoins als Ethereum, Solana en Chainlink doen het opvallend goed, maar de vraag is: hoelang duurt dit nog? De recessieangst speelt nog altijd, behalve bij FED-voorzitter Jerome Powell. Bloomberg kwam met het nieuws dat Coinbase serieuze overnamegesprekken voert met Deribit, een van oorsprong Nederlands handelsplatform voor crypto-derivaten. Met een geschatte waarde van 4 tot 5 miljard dollar zou het gaan om een van de grootste deals in de cryptosector ooit. Deribit verwerkt gigantische volumes — vorig jaar 1,2 biljoen dollar — en is ondanks haar wortels in Nederland inmiddels gevestigd in Dubai. De overname zou Coinbase in staat stellen om haar aanwezigheid in de derivatenmarkt te versterken. Tegelijkertijd kondigde concurrent Kraken vorige week de overname aan van NinjaTrader voor 1,5 miljard dollar. Is er een consolidatieslag gaande in de VS? Co-host is Paul Buitink.

William Sarradet talks with artist and educator Dr. Estelle Voisin-Fonteneau about the loss of Eros, the architecture of sacred spaces, and the written language of patriarchal societies. "I'm very interested in the idea of the sacred within the profane. The profane comes from the word profanum which is the space before the temple and that is where most of the rituals took place. It wasn't in the temple, it was in front of the temple because only the priests or sacred virgins could go inside of the temple."

A Note from James:"Oh my gosh, so many things going on with Bitcoin. Let me just summarize it. Obviously, Gary Gensler resigning is huge for Bitcoin. He was the head of the SEC, and this is the end of a regulatory cloud over crypto. Another major development is the proposal for Bitcoin to be included in U.S. strategic reserves. If the U.S. starts buying Bitcoin, which Senator Carol Loomis has proposed in a bill, Bitcoin could hit a million. I'm not even being too hyperbolic here. Plus, companies are beginning to adopt crypto, and tokenization is taking off.Today's guest is Omid Malekan, an expert in crypto who used to run crypto at Citibank. He's written extensively on the subject, and I love catching up with him to get his unique perspective on where crypto is heading.
