In this episode of Milk Road Crypto, we sit down with the team from ETH Labs to break down the push for a faster Ethereum, including Quick Slots, faster finality, L1-to-L2 interoperability, account abstraction, and what these upgrades could mean for ETH.~~~~~

In this episode of Milk Road Crypto, John Gillen sits down with Ashley Ebersole to break down what the setback means for crypto investors, builders, tokenization, and the future of digital asset regulation in the United States. Ashley explains why the failure of the CLARITY Act may be more of a speed bump than an endpoint, how the SEC and CFTC could move forward without new legislation, and why regulatory rulemaking still matters even if it lacks the permanence of a law passed by Congress.~~~~~

Raoul Pal joins Milk Road Crypto to explain why he believes crypto investors are being handed a rare opportunity: the chance to own the infrastructure that could power the emerging AI and machine economy. In this episode, Raoul breaks down his latest macro and crypto outlook, including why global liquidity, not individual Fed decisions, remains the key force driving Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and the broader crypto market. He explains why AI investment is currently absorbing enormous amounts of capital, what needs to change for crypto liquidity to accelerate, and why a weaker dollar could become an important catalyst for risk assets.~~~~~

Dan Tapiero, founder and CEO of 50T Funds, joins the show to explain why he believes the crypto market has already bottomed, and why the next phase of the digital asset bull market could be much bigger than investors expect. Dan breaks down the macro signals he believes marked the bottom for Bitcoin and Ethereum, including changes in the U.S. dollar, Treasury markets, gold, liquidity, and interest rates. He also explains why crypto prices can be in a bear market while the broader digital asset ecosystem, including stablecoins, real-world assets, prediction markets, decentralized exchanges, and perpetual futures, continues to grow.~~~~~
Os meses anteriores à eleição brasileira de 2026 foram marcados pelas ações dos Estados Unidos contra o Brasil, com uso de instrumentos econômicos, jurídicos e diplomáticos. Segundo pesquisadores ouvidos pelo Nexo, as medidas fazem parte de uma iniciativa coordenada da extrema direita global, que busca expandir sua influência no mundo e, em especial, na América Latina. O quarto Durma com Essa da temporada especial sobre as Eleições 2026 explica os diferentes elementos que compõem o quadro e traz análises sobre os riscos externos ao processo eleitoral brasileiro. O episódio conta com a participação de Thiago Amparo, advogado e professor de direito internacional e de direitos humanos na FGV Direito-SP (Escola de Direito de São Paulo da Fundação Getulio Vargas); e de Daniela Costanzo, cientista política e pesquisadora do Cebrap (Centro Brasileiro de Análise e Planejamento).

In this episode of Milk Road Crypto, John Gillen sits down with Neil Steinhardt, COO of Nexo US, to break down why crypto-backed lending is growing again, how Nexo survived the brutal 2022 crypto downturn, and why regulatory clarity could unlock a new wave of institutional capital. Neil explains why more crypto investors are choosing to borrow against their Bitcoin and digital assets instead of selling them, how Nexo manages risk during periods of extreme market volatility, and why the company is evolving beyond crypto lending into a broader digital asset wealth management platform.~~~~~
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.

Receive interest on your crypto, borrow against it without selling, and trade a range of assets. Now available in the U.S with 30 days of exclusive privileges. Get started at http://nexo.com/unchained ======================================================== In July 2024, Nader Al-Naji was preparing to board a flight to Turkey when the FBI arrested him in front of with his wife and son and walked him in handcuffs through the airport. The DOJ and SEC had jointly charged the DESO and BitClout founder with defrauding investors of $3 million and running an unregistered securities offering. Twenty months later, both cases are gone: the DOJ dismissed in March 2025, the SEC dismissed with prejudice — meaning it can't be refiled — in March 2026. Nader tells Laura what actually happened, from the FBI raid on his Beverly Hills home and the clerical error that sent him to federal prison for a weekend, to the legal strategy that convinced both agencies to back off. He also revisits the BitClout celebrity era, the long call with Do Kwon before Terra launched, and the debanking tactic he calls ‘subpoena sniping.'

He joins Laura Shin to discuss what MSBT's launch says about where institutional crypto adoption is heading, whether Morgan Stanley's 16,000 advisors and $7 trillion in assets could meaningfully shift flows, and why Seyffart now sees inaction on crypto as the active choice, not the safe one, for portfolio managers.

With Brent crude at $107 and the 10-year yield climbing, asset prices face a cascade of headwinds: inflationary supply shocks, tightening financial conditions, and no clear off-ramp for a conflict that the IRGC shows no appetite to negotiate. Yet within crypto, a sharper debate is emerging: does institutional adoption demand Canton's permissioned structure, or can Ethereum survive with real-world assets on a permissionless layer? Austin, Ram, and Chris dig into the structural fault lines that the macro backdrop is now exposing, and why market-timing in a conflict where you don't know who the endgame negotiator is may be the wrong frame entirely.

Meanwhile the Fed held rates steady but the dot plot revealed a historically wide internal split: seven members want zero cuts in 2026 while five want 50 basis points or more. Powell warned inflation isn't coming down as hoped with projections now at 2.7% for headline. And in tech, Elon Musk unveiled a $25 billion chip fab that Ram says is pure fiction while Bezos raised $100 billion to buy manufacturing companies and transform them with AI.

Ram is bearish on equities, oil is keeping the Fed frozen, and Bitcoin is holding up anyway. The hosts debate whether crypto has bottomed or whether worse is still ahead. --- Thanks to our sponsor, Nexo! ---- Three weeks into the Iran conflict, oil is keeping inflation elevated, rate cuts are getting pushed out, and hedge funds are being forced to sell good names just to reduce exposure. So why is Bitcoin holding up? Ram sees a market on the right shoulder of a bubble, with industrials like Caterpillar at 35x earnings and no real capitulation yet in equities or private credit. Chris is watching trading desks pick up the “short-gold, long-Bitcoin” trade, and sees Ethereum's fundamentals quietly strengthening. Austin wants to know what happens to DeFi the day a major stablecoin gets compromised on a censorship-resistant chain with no network-level controls. And all three are asking the same question investors need answered now: does the Iran conflict end fast enough to stop oil from triggering a true inflationary regime, or is a harder correction still ahead? Hosts: Ram Ahluwalia, CFA, CEO and Founder of Lumida Austin Campbell, NYU Stern professor and founder and managing partner of Zero Knowledge Consulting Christopher Perkins, Managing Partner and President of CoinFund Learn more about your ad choices.
