We discuss our experience on the day of $NAT being officially mined by Bitcoin miners and discuss in detail what the prospects are for $NAT and DMT in supporting the growth of the Bitcoin ecosystem. As well as game plan steps moving forward in order to further educate the mining community and regular folk about what it is $NAT represents as the first DMT asset contributing to furthering the future sustainability of Bitcoin. We then showcase some of the Ordinal assets for mint that will contribute to adding liquidity for $NAT on TaparooSwap, a Bitcoin L1 AMM DEX. With our efforts and the community behind us we can strengthen $NAT overtime and build a strong NATwork effect in support of the DMT ecosystem as a whole. We firmly believe the success of $NAT will be the catalyst for the entire Bitcoin ecosystem as it represents a native to Bitcoin product that is closest aligned to the ethos and value of Bitcoin itself. At the end we discuss Jason Lowery's recent bullish sentiment around Digital Matter Theory and how we align with his talking points of his next book titled “Digital Power”. Having notable actors in the Bitcoin community continually propagating the idea of Bitcoin's higher purpose being the utilization of its immutable substrate layer will further elevate the DMT mission.

Hyperliquid's USDH ticker set off the most dramatic “RFP” in recent memory. The crew breaks down why Native Markets ran away with validator support, whether the process was theater or strategy, and how the Bake-off became a marketing masterstroke—and potential leverage on Circle. We dig into Polymarket odds, the last‑minute Paxos bribery allegation (denied), and what this means for future “native” stables on Solana, app chains, and beyond. Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, we're joined by Guy founder of Ethena as a special guest, as a single ticker (USDH) sparked a weeklong spectacle: Hyperliquid's “Bake-off” to award the USDH stablecoin brand. Native Markets surged ahead as validators signaled support, Paxos rallied late with partners and incentives, and Ethena ultimately withdrew. Was this always a vibes‑based beauty contest, or a deliberate move to pressure Circle and re‑route bridge yield? We parse the incentives, the governance, and the market microstructure — and peek at what happens if every big chain/app tries the “native stablecoin” playbook. Show highlights

My guest today is Greg Reid, President and Senior Portfolio Manager of Real Assets at Westwood Holdings, a publicly held investment firm with over $18b in assets under management. For most of his thirty year career, Greg has led energy infrastructure businesses. And as you'll hear from his accent and style, Greg is the consummate Texas oil and gas man. This is a fascinating time for traditional energy investment. Post-financial crisis, energy investment was a place of capital excess. Soon enough the boom busted and many institutional investors found ESG religion and fully halted allocations. Traditional energy was left for dead. After ten years in the investment desert, many of the remaining institutional investors are throwing in the towel and selling what they have left. The surviving energy companies tend to be lean, capital efficient and valued appropriately. This disconnect between the supply of high quality, energy assets and the weak demand from capital providers provides an attractive landscape, particularly in secondary markets. As our go-to Texas energy expert, Greg is the perfect guest for this conversation.  This podcast was recorded on August 28, 2025.  The respective opinions expressed are those of Mr. Reid and Biltmore Family Office, LLC..  The opinions referenced are as of the date of this podcast and are subject to change without notice.  This material is for informational use only and should not be considered investment advice.

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.Today's podcast was a conversation that was recorded live at Morningstar's Investment Conference in Chicago earlier this year.Morningstar CEO Kunal Kapoor took time out of his packed schedule at the event to sit down with me for a thought-provoking conversation that dove into the nuances of many of the trends that are shaping private markets today.Morningstar and Kunal have quite an interesting perch in the market. They occupy a critically important function in the market: helping investors understand the data, structures, and trends in public and private markets. They provide fund ratings, investment analysis, and market data to both individual and institutional investors.As public and private markets experience increasing convergence, Morningstar finds itself at the intersection of markets that are undergoing rapid evolutions across product structures, asset allocation frameworks, and weighty questions around conceptual frameworks of liquidity, risk, volatility, concentration that are on the minds of many. Amongst the wide range of topics Kunal and I covered, one stood out: Morningstar is fiercely on the side of the investor.If there's anyone who has a deep understanding of Morningstar's DNA, it's Kunal. Kunal started at Morningstar in 1997 as a data analyst, holding a variety of roles at the firm, including leadership positions in research and innovation. He served as director of mutual fund research and was part of the team that launched Morningstar Investment Services, Inc., before moving on to other roles including director of business strategy for international operations, and later, president and chief investment officer of Morningstar Investment Services. During his tenure, he has also led Morningstar.com® and the firm's data business as well as its global products and client solutions group.Kunal and I had a fascinating and lively conversation. We covered a number of the most pressing topics in private markets today: the convergence of public and private, liquidity vs illiquidity, investor education, the importance of transparency, and the why, what, and how behind evergreen funds.Thanks Kunal for coming on the show to share your wisdom, expertise, and passion for public and private markets.A word from AGM podcast sponsor, Ultimus Fund SolutionsThis episode of Alt Goes Mainstream is brought to you by Ultimus Fund Solutions, a leading full-service fund administrator for asset managers in private and public markets.

IS CASH KING? BALANCING LIQUIDITY AND GROWTH FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS with Sandy Hornor | CEPS Managing Director, Wealth Management & Executive Manager, BWFA and Tyler Kluge | CFP®, ChFEB℠, CPWA®, CDFA®, CEPS,  Financial Planner, BWFA Episode Details: Cash is often described as either “king” or “trash.” In reality, it can be both—depending on your circumstances. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, BWFA's Sandy Hornor and Tyler Kluge explore when holding cash makes sense and when it may work against your long-term goals. The conversation begins with why cash matters. Having an emergency fund provides peace of mind and flexibility when life delivers the unexpected—medical bills, job loss, or urgent home repairs. Sandy and Tyler discuss how to size an emergency fund, why rules of thumb like “three to six months of expenses” may not fit every situation, and how personal factors such as job stability or income volatility affect the right cash balance. But cash also has drawbacks. For retirees who already have stable income from pensions or Social Security, holding too much in cash can mean missed opportunities for growth. The episode shares real-life examples of families who kept significant wealth in ultra-conservative accounts—only to realize that over decades, inflation would erode their purchasing power and diminish the legacy they hoped to leave to children and grandchildren. Sandy and Tyler emphasize that the right answer depends on goals, timing, and flexibility. They recommend tailoring cash holdings to personal risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and investment horizon. The discussion also touches on practical strategies, such as using money markets, high-yield savings, or laddered CDs to keep funds both safe and accessible. Finally, listeners are reminded that cash needs evolve with life changes—new jobs, growing families, or retirement. Reviewing and adjusting cash reserves regularly is critical to keeping financial plans on track. For more insights, visit BWFA's Financial Planning Services.

At the EUVC Summit 2025, Tom Wilson took the stage to highlight something we often overlook when talking about Europe's breakout tech stories:“The real engine of growth isn't just the unicorns. It's what happens after.”Tom opened with a striking stat:“Over 2,000 startups have been founded by alumni of just 250 European unicorns.”This ripple effect—beautifully documented in the Atomico State of European Tech report—is the unsung compounding force in our ecosystem. Each breakout company doesn't just create returns—it creates founders. And each founder then builds the next set of teams, products, and outcomes.“Tech is right at the heart of Europe's growth story. It's what drives jobs, resilience, and momentum.”While the flywheel is turning, one spoke is still weak: liquidity.“The recycling of capital is still too thin across the ecosystem.”Without steady exits—IPOs, large acquisitions, secondary markets—we limit:Angel reinvestmentEmerging manager formationOperator talent flowing back into early-stage companiesTom called for more policy, infrastructure, and cultural support to celebrate exits—not just fundraises—and to empower alumni to give back as investors, advisors, or future founders.Tom also made a powerful point about non-linear outcomes.“Not every startup becomes a unicorn. But the people who build them still carry value—and often show up in the next big story.”He cited examples of founders who, after shutdowns, joined early teams at Revoo, Vizier, and other category leaders—and played crucial roles in their success.This isn't just resilience. It's how ecosystems mature.“We need to do more to recognize and encourage the second act: the angels, the early hires, the operators who cycle back in.”Because Europe's breakout companies aren't just wins.They're launchpads for the next generation.And every reinvested euro—and recycled founder—keeps the flywheel spinning faster.2,000 Startups Later: The Alumni EffectWhat's Still Missing?

Abhi chased cash flow.In this episode of Couchonomics with Arjun, we sit down with Omair Ansari, Co-Founder & CEO of Abhi, one of Pakistan's fastest-growing fintechs.Abhi began with earned wage access, giving workers instant liquidity.

Ted Oakley, Managing Partner and Founder of Oxbow Advisors, joins Julia La Roche on episode 285 to discuss the economy and markets.Sponsored by Monetary Metals. https://monetary-metals.com/julia In this episode, Ted warns that markets are extremely expensive at 23x future earnings while the economy is flatlining. He expects coming Fed rate cuts to be an Arthur Burns-style policy mistake, creating a window to sell long bonds before higher structural inflation takes hold over the next 5-10 years. Oakley advocates significant cash positions (his firm holds 50% short-term treasuries) and exposure to commodities, energy, and gold as hedges against dollar decline and inflation. He sees concerning parallels to late 1990s day-trading mania among retail investors and emphasizes risk management over aggressive growth, particularly for older investors who need to preserve wealth rather than chase returns.With more than forty years of experience in advising high-net-worth clients in the investment industry, Oakley implements the firm's proprietary investment strategies and the “Oxbow Principles” to provide a unique investment perspective. He is a frequent guest on FOX Business News, Bloomberg Radio, KITCO News, Cheddar TV, Yahoo Finance, and many more. Oakley is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and a Certified Financial Planner (CFP). He is a member of the Austin Society of Financial Analysts. He is also a Partner of Herndon Plant Oakley Ltd., an investment company. He is a Board Member of Texas State Aquarium, American Bank, and American Bank Holding Company. Mr. Oakley is a United States Army Veteran. Oakley began his career in Dallas, Texas, over 35 years ago. He is the author of nine books: You Sold Your Company, $20 Million and Broke, Rich Kids Broke Kids – The Failure of Traditional Estate Planning, Crazy Time – Surviving the First 12 Months after Selling Your Company, Wall Street Lies, Danger Time, My Story, The Psychology of Staying Rich, and Your Money Mentality. Oakley's primary philanthropic interest is helping children. He is Chairman Emeritus and Founder of the Foster Angels of South Texas, the largest foster child foundation in South Texas, as well as Chairman Emeritus and Founder of Austin, Texas-based Foster Angels of Central Texas.

David Clark is joined by Ed Goldstein, Partner and Chief Investment Officer at Coller Capital's Credit Secondaries business. Ed has spent over 16 years shaping the secondary investment landscape, and in our conversation he explains how the secondaries market provides investors with liquidity, diversification, and unique access to private markets—an area often overlooked but increasingly interesting for investors. With Coller Capital managing more than $40 billion globally, Ed explains how this market has evolved, why it matters, and how it can help sophisticated investors achieve diversification, mitigate risk, and capture attractive returns We unpack the mechanics of secondaries in both private equity and private credit, explore the growth of continuation funds, and discuss how institutional investors, from pension schemes to sovereign wealth funds, are using secondaries to reshape portfolios. Ed also shares insights from his decades-long career navigating multiple market cycles and explains how Coller's scale allows them to underwrite and execute transactions that others can't. Whether you're new to private markets or already allocating to alternatives, this conversation will give you a deeper understanding of how secondaries fit into the broader investment landscape—and why they're becoming an essential tool for investors.

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community What happens when you throw billions of dollars at an asset that’s scarcer than gold? From October 2025, the Government is about to supercharge demand with its expanded Home Guarantee Scheme (HGS). Promoted as a way to help first-home buyers get into the market with just a 5% deposit, there’ll be no volume caps, no income caps, limited price caps — and the government will guarantee the risk for lenders. On the surface, this seems like a great thing for affordability - but independent modelling suggests this could pump $10–20 billion in fresh credit into the market in Year 1 alone, adding 20–40k extra buyers. And with housing supply already tight, that extra liquidity doesn’t create new homes — it pushes prices one way only… In this episode, we break down:* Why property’s scarcity matters, and how the stock-to-flow lens changes the conversation* Is real estate more scarce than gold?* What the new HGS actually is, and how it works* The likely impact of flooding billions into the housing market Whether you’re a first home buyer or not, this affects you.

Markets are doing fine, sitting right at all time highs, and money flows have been improving. Relative strength has improved, but still has a negative divergence. Nvidia was also sitting at all time highs, but will not be surprised to see it open lower. From a  fundamental perspective, Nvidia is operating on "all cylinders," only the ultra-optimistic observers were disappointed in the company's earnings report. The Small-cap/Mid-cap space (IWM) has been performing better, but here's the concern: About 40% of these companies have NO profits, and are zombie companies, surviving on debt issuance. So this particular index is not all that healthy. Also remember, these companies are very, very economically sensitive. Any weakness in the economy will be reflected in the earnings of these companies. Yields have not done a lot, currently sitting at around 4.2%, which is where they should be trading in the present environment. Gold has behaved similarly, going nowhere and trading in a narrow range. Gold has become a liquidity source for stock chasing.    Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO  Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch the Video version of this report on our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/47QZT3k ------- Get more info & commentary:  https://realinvestmentadvice.com/insights/real-investment-daily/ ------- Register for our next RIA Dynamic Learning Series event, "Savvy Medicare Planning," September 18, 2025: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/resources/events/savvy-medicare-planning-what-baby-boomers-need-to-know-about-medicare/ ------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #Gold #LiquiditySource #BullishTrend #NegativeDivergence #MarketCorrection #20DMA #50DMA #100DMA #200DMA #InvestingAdvice #Money #Investing

The Federal Reserve helps support financial system resilience by acting as the lender of last resort, providing liquidity to institutions in exchange for high quality collateral. The usage of its 13(3) emergency authority during the 2023 regional banking crisis suggests the Fed may use these powers more frequently in today's financial system. The rising importance of non-bank institutions has also complicated the Fed's aim to strike an optimal balance between efficacy and the minimization of moral hazard. In this episode, we talk with Kate Judge, Professor of Law at Columbia Law School, about the Fed's role as lender of last resort, evaluating liquidity needs versus insolvency, and whether existing facilities can mitigate the next financial crisis.

On June 23, I joined the Capital Allocators podcast to discuss some of the pressing challenges facing the private equity industry today, with a particular focus on the ongoing liquidity crisis. This is an unprecedented and, I would argue, an underappreciated problem for the industry. We should be talking about it more, and that's why we're sharing this excerpt with you today. I'd like to thank the host of Capital Allocators, Ted Seides, for the opportunity to dive deeper into the data on exits and fundraising and also to explore some of the tools the industry might use to navigate this impasse. You can also listen to our full conversation on the Capital Allocators podcast here..

Send us a textIn this panel segment, seasoned family office investors reveal how they approach turbulent markets, rising interest rates, and global instability — and why chaos can be a prime time to invest.Key Takeaways:• Uncertainty can create the best deals — savvy investors profit while others hesitate.• Real estate and ancillary businesses remain hot targets during market volatility.• In tech, initial seed investments are “toe in the water” opportunities — follow-ons are where big gains happen.• Strategic involvement (board roles, connections, guidance) is as valuable as capital for early-stage companies.• Liquidity is power: cash reserves allow nimble moves when valuations correct.• Diversification across real estate, operating businesses, and liquid portfolios ensures long-term stability.

Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio with a different kind of podcast. Our friends from Buckland Funding came up to visit and record this podcast, talking all about lending for land. We discuss: Getting pre-approved is easy and requires minimal documentation. Buckland Funding specializes in recreational land loans. Pre-approval typically takes 24-48 hours with required financials. Two years of tax returns and a personal financial statement are standard requirements. Debt-to-income ratio should ideally be 41% or less for loan approval. Buckland Funding keeps loans in-house for personalized service. They can close loans quickly, sometimes in as little as 10 days. A good lender can help buyers feel more confident in their purchase. Liquidity is important; aim for one year of annual debt payments in savings. The lending process for land is simpler than traditional home loans. And so much more! ⁠Get Pre-Approved to Purchase a farm with Buck Land Funding ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.whitetailmasteracademy.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Use code '⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HOFER' to save 10% off at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.theprairiefarm.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Massive potential tax savings: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ASMLABS.Net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Moultrie: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/moultrie_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Hawke Optics: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/hawkeoptics_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -OnX: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/onX_Hunt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Painted Arrow: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/PaintedArrow
