The clearing price of optionality in the market is impacted by a myriad of factors. To be sure, the economy and corporate profit cycle, the stance of monetary policy and geopolitical risk all matter. Flows in the derivatives markets are also of consequence as they impact the environment for supply and demand. And in this context, it was excellent to welcome Benn Eifert, Founder and Managing Partner of QVR Advisors, back to the Alpha Exchange.Benn brings a data-driven lens to today's complex volatility markets, and in this conversation, he discusses the unintended consequences of crowded risk-managed option strategies, such as buffer ETFs and overwriting. We explore how structural flows have drained the volatility risk premium, especially from the front end of the curve where the flow has especially been one way, leading to substantial optionality being sold into the marketplace. Benn states that since 2012, the VRP has largely vanished, leaving the returns to owning short-dated straddles actually positive since then. For risk-managed ETFs, the implications are unfavorable as many of these strategies often reduce beta without providing meaningful downside protection, results that are posted on the QVR website. From Benn's perspective, even for a large and liquid options complex like the S&P 500, the sheer volume of capital chasing the same trade is distorting expected returns.We finish the conversation by exploring the evolution of QVR's trade implementation and risk management practices. Here, Benn shares that the listed options market has become a focal point relative to years ago when OTC products transacted bi-laterally with large banks were of greater importance. The approach now leans into technology and seeking to exit and enter trades more passively, with a market-making approach.I hope you enjoy this episode of the Alpha Exchange, my conversation with Benn Eifert.

Jeff Hancock is the CEO of Coinpass, a UK-based crypto exchange acquired by OANDA in 2023. He's bringing crypto and traditional finance closer together in a secure, regulated way. Why you should listen ​​Born in London in 2018, Coinpass climbed the regulatory mountain early, securing an FCA crypto-asset registration and then catching the eye of multi-asset heavyweight OANDA, which snapped up a majority stake in August 2023. Now the exchange enjoys the deep pockets and risk-management chops of a global FX giant while keeping its Union-Jack credentials intact.  Coinpass is unapologetically business-first: corporate and SSAS pension accounts, OTC desks, Faster Payments for GBP, SEPA Instant for EUR, and a Fireblocks-secured custody stack. The offering tops out at roughly 18 coins across 50 pairs, with auto-trade DCA tools and a staking “Earn” programme. As the FCA's May 2025 paper ushers in a tougher regulatory era, Coinpass is already playing the game two moves ahead—fully registered, audit-ready, and backed by OANDA's deep balance sheet. Its curated asset list and institutional-grade spreads may forego meme-coin noise, but they deliver what CFOs and treasurers actually need: transparent pricing, instant GBP rails, and a compliance posture built to glide through tomorrow's rulebook. While other exchanges scramble to retrofit governance, Coinpass stands out as the gold-standard gateway for UK digital-asset professionals—future-proof, rock-solid, and ready to scale.

XRP Evolution - Lending | Trump's Crypto Vision Just Got Real | Mortgages with Bitcoin?! XRP's evolution continues—trust, lending, and DeFi expansion on XRPL. But while Ripple redefines finance, the U.S. is redefining crypto policy… and the chaos in NYC reveals just how broken the system really is. Trust? It's under siege—from D.C. to DeFi.

Functional ingredients, protein-ification, healthy aging, personalized nutrition, weight management, gut health…and you probably think I'm just rattling off numerous powerful trends driving the CPG industry, which I am, but this time, not involving my typical contextual vantagepoint. Did you know that just over half of pet owners not only consider their pets to be a part of their family…but say they are as much a part of their family as a human member? So, with most pet owners now considering their pets full-fledged family members, it's safe to say that “humanization” is no longer just a trend…but rather a foundation of the pet nutrition market. And while I'm not saying that I'll be pivoting drastically (or even much at all), I am expressing that you'll begin seeing my increasing interest in adjacent CPG marketplaces like early childhood nutrition and pet nutrition within content creation, as I'm a relatively new dad in both the human and dog aspect of that definition. But where do we start, right? To create some constraint, this initial content piece will concentrate only on certain aspects of the pet industry that evolved since the “Great Shutdown” era. Firstly, compared to other CPG categories, which have seen declines and rebounds, pet sales have grown (around 10%) each year since that period. Next, what underpins that growth probably shouldn't be surprising at this point…with stay-at-home orders and the remote work flexibility creating an environment where many Americans added a furry friend to their household. And currently, it results in U.S. consumers purchasing around $70 billion worth of pet food (and treats), but that market size increases substantially when you include both veterinary care (and product sales), OTC medications, and pet supplements. Also, while the “CV-19 Effect” didn't create the “health and wellness” underlying driver shaping today's pet nutrition market…it provided a powerful tailwind to this increasingly important customer purchasing behavior. Lastly, pet owners (which Millennials account for the largest category) are paying just as much attention to their pets' health and holistic well-being as to their own…and are seeking food (and treats) that help their furry friends live longer, healthier lives. In fact, 85% of pet owners now believe proper nutrition and supplements are as important for pets as they are for humans. But with pet owners taking a more active role in their pets' wellness, particularly in the ways they supplement their pets' diets for optimal health benefits…pet brands are starting to face a similar challenge as their human CPG counterparts have been dealing with for the last decade (especially within low barriers-to-entry categories like sports nutrition). And no matter if we're talking humans or pets…across today's functional CPG marketplace, winning essentially requires a distinctive brand making great tasting products in attractive formats with proven benefits in desirable health condition segments. But in my latest first principles thinking content, I'll unpack that statement further to extract impactful insights. Nevertheless, there are many opportunities available (and no shortage of exciting market developments), so hopefully you'll follow along as I help increase your strategic clarity by separating out the key pet industry “signals” from the immense amount of “noise.”

In the June All In For Citrus podcast, Michael Rogers gives an update on some of the activities keeping University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) researchers busy this summer. Rogers is the director of the UF/IFAS Citrus Research and Education Center in Lake Alfred. One of their big projects is helping to coordinate the citrus seminars for the upcoming Citrus & Specialty Crop Expo on Aug. 20–21 at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa. Rogers provides a sneak peek of the citrus presentations, which number more than 20. While the Expo program will focus on HLB management, additional topics will be addressed. This includes other diseases and pests, crop insurance considerations and more. The citrus seminars will provide growers with the latest knowledge on how to optimize trunk injection of oxytetracycline (OTC). New research on OTC applications and degradation and how different varieties respond to treatments will be shared. There will also be a presentation on advancements in automated trunk injection. Lukasz Stelinski, UF/IFAS professor of entomology and nematology, joins the podcast to give growers useful reminders on Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) management. He stresses the importance of new flush in timing insecticide applications targeting the ACP. Stelinski also emphasizes the importance of dormant sprays during the winter to really push the pest's population down. On the disease front, Megan Dewdney, UF/IFAS associate professor of plant pathology, speaks in the podcast about some key disease concerns this time of year, including phytophthora brown rot, algal spot and canker. She adds that melanose could be more problematic than normal due to recent weather patterns of heavier rainfall.

Max Trescott interviews Dr. John Trowbridge, a physician and former senior Aviation Medical Examiner, to tackle a hidden yet critical safety topic: how over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medications contribute to general aviation accidents. Studies have found that up to 40% of fatal accidents involve pilots with impairing substances in their system—ranging from allergy medications to sleep aids to alcohol. The problem? Many of these substances are legal and even commonplace, yet can significantly degrade judgment, memory, attention, and coordination. Dr. Trowbridge emphasizes that many pilots—and even their doctors—are unaware of FAA wait-time guidelines. He explains the FAA's “5x rule,” which states that a pilot must wait five times the recommended dosage interval before flying. So if a medication is taken every six hours, the pilot should wait 30 hours after the last dose. For 24-hour medications like Zyrtec, the wait time stretches to five full days. The discussion highlights the particular dangers of first-generation antihistamines like Benadryl (diphenhydramine), which are highly sedating and frequently found in sleep aids like Tylenol PM, NyQuil, and Unisom. These medications, even when taken the night before, can impair cognitive function well into the next day. Alarmingly, Benadryl is the most commonly detected OTC drug in fatal GA accidents. Dr. Trowbridge also warns about second-generation antihistamines like Zyrtec and Xyzal. While marketed as “non-drowsy,” these can still cause subtle sedation, especially in combination with alcohol or other medications. Alternatives like Allegra and Claritin are usually safer and FAA-approved—but only after personal ground-testing and AME consultation. Beyond antihistamines, they explore other drug categories. For pain relief, medications like aspirin, Tylenol, ibuprofen, and Aleve are generally safe, but anything with “PM” on the label likely contains sedating ingredients. Prescription painkillers like codeine are outright disqualifying. Dr. Trowbridge shares unconventional options too, like topical lidocaine, coconut oil, and even horse liniment—though with cautions about application and legality. Sleep aids are another minefield. Melatonin is the only one on the FAA's “go list,” and even it should be ground-tested first. Nasal decongestants such as Afrin and Sudafed can raise blood pressure and cause jitteriness, making natural remedies like saline rinses or cool vapor inhalation preferable. Cough medications also pose risks. Products with dextromethorphan (like DayQuil or Delsym) can sedate, as can multi-symptom formulas marked “PM” or “nighttime.” Gastrointestinal issues are more straightforward: most antacids like Tums and Maalox are safe, but anti-diarrheals like Imodium are not, due to sedation risks. UTIs are covered with non-sedating options like AZO and D-Mannose, but Dr. Trowbridge cautions pilots never to fly if symptomatic or on unfamiliar antibiotics. The conversation then turns to alcohol. The FAA's limit is 0.04%, but even lower levels can impair judgment, night vision, and reaction time—especially when combined with other medications or altitude-related hypoxia. Max cites an older FAA study showing that alcohol above 0.04% was found in 7% of fatal pilot crashes, with 3% involving both alcohol and drugs. Finally, Dr. Trowbridge emphasizes the importance of pilot self-awareness and due diligence. Most doctors are not trained in FAA regulations and may prescribe disqualifying medications unless reminded. He urges pilots to always research their medications, consult their AME, and even speak with pharmacists about interactions and cognitive side effects. Dr. Trowbridge's website, ClearedForTakeoff.info, offers in-depth presentations on pilot health concerns like sleep, sinus issues, inflammation, and safe alternatives to disqualifying drugs. His goal is to help pilots avoid both illness and medication risks, empowering them to stay flying—and stay safe.

On today's episode we're talking about the complex issue of cryptocurrency and divorce, and to help unpack it, I brought in Chris Groshong. Chris made the leap from biotech to fintech when he founded CoinStructive back in 2015. Since then he's worked for crypto financial institutions and has helped hundreds of people track down crypto lost to scams, hacks, and yes, hidden in divorce. If crypto feels confusing, secretive, or even a little bit shady to you, you're not alone. But as Chris explains, the blockchain is actually built on transparency. So once you know what to look for, it becomes a powerful tool for uncovering hidden assets.  In this conversation, we break down what crypto really is, how it shows up in divorce, and what steps you can take if you suspect it's being used to conceal money. Here's what else we discuss in this episode: What cryptocurrency is and why understanding how it works is so important in the context of divorce (3:29) What the hell is the blockchain?? (4:56) Why crypto can be risky in divorce: people often forget that it's not just about gains, but losses too (21:26) Red flags that might signal your spouse is hiding crypto (think unexplainable withdrawals, hardware wallets, or sketchy apps) (24:56) How crypto investigations actually work and why they're often more successful than you'd think (44:49) Learn more about Chris Groshong: Chris Groshong is a Certified Fraud Investigator who focuses on helping victims of cryptocurrency scams. He is also the Chief Compliance Officer for several crypto financial institutions including Bitcoin ATM operators, OTC exchanges, Wallet operators, DeFi platforms and more. He helps oversee money transmitter licensing and regulatory affairs for his clients at a fraction of the cost of attorneys. He is a member of the CFCIA (California Financial Crimes Investigators Association), Government Blockchain Association, The Chamber of Digital Commerce, ABA (American Bar Association), ACFCS, ACFE, ACAMS, and has served as an Expert Witness in a Federal fraud case involving Bitcoin and Monero as well as several Divorce cases.

When over 50% of a portfolio's offshore assets are USD-denominated, currency risk isn't just a theoretical issue—it can be a real drag on performance. In episode 75 of the Portfolio Construction Podcast Series, Paul O'Connor (Netwealth Head of Investment Management & Research) speaks with Tom Averill, Managing Director of Rochford Capital, about how investors can more effectively manage USD exposure—especially with the AUD near the low end of its long-term range. They discuss why traditional hedging tools often fall short, how the Rochford Leveraged Long AUD Fund provides targeted FX exposure through OTC derivatives, and why this can be a more accurate, scalable, and tax-efficient solution than switching between hedged and unhedged funds. Also covered: the macroeconomic outlook for the Australian dollar, implications of the US credit downgrade, the growing structural role of China, and how geopolitical shifts are reshaping global currency dynamics.   To learn more about today's guest and Netwealth, visit:

„Zdrowienie wymaga cierpliwości i czasu, ale tego […] wiecznie pacjentom brakuje” – pisze Arkadiusz Lorenc w książce „Polska na prochach”. To nie jest jeszcze jedna publicystyczna diagnoza o kondycji systemu. To opowieść o społeczeństwie, które chce wrócić do zdrowia natychmiast. A więc bierzemy. W ogromnych ilościach. Statystyki nie pozostawiają wątpliwości: „jesteśmy narodem lekomanów”. W 2023 roku Polacy wydali 28 miliardów zł na leki na receptę. Na suplementy – 7,5 miliarda zł. Ale to tylko fragment układanki. Dorzućmy leki OTC, wyroby medyczne, internetową szarą strefę i prywatne, „przyjacielskie” obiegi tabletek – i wyłania się obraz kraju, który lubi wiedzieć, że coś działa.

Largely driven by community pharmacy footfall, France's self-care market is dynamic and characterized by high levels of innovation, according to French self-care industry association, NèreS. As NèreS' executive director Luc Besançon explains in this episode of HBW Insight's Over the Counter podcast, much of this is down to the tireless work of the association. Renaming self-care products as first-line or “premier recours” (first-line) products, identifying medicines that are available OTC in other countries that could be switched in France and quantifying the impact that the revised Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive would have on access to medicines are all strands of NèreS' pathbreaking recent work.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral - I recently discovered your show about a year ago and I'm so glad I did! You are a wealth of knowledge and I appreciate you helping the community. I'm a 55 year old female diagnosed with spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis and degenerative disc disease since 2017. Basically, I'm in and out of pain a lot. I stay in physical therapy and try to stay as active as possible. I hate taking OTC pain medicines but at time Aleve is the only thing that will get me through. My question is what do you think about taking NAC supplementation to assist my liver. Any advice is appreciated. I eat a very clean whole food based diet to assist with inflammation. I haven't tried your detox yet but have a 21 day supply. I take many of your vitamins. I love them! Thank you in advance.                                                                         Rachel: Dr. Cabral, NO ONE talks about women with “lean” PCOS… insulin resistance seems to be at the root & center of PCOS but I've been tested & do not have it… I'm around 20% body fat & very muscular. I was on the birth control pill for about 10 years, when I came off I didn't have cycle. It was then we found the follicles on my ovaries & I developed cystic acne. Since then I dialed back my exercise, fed more & after 22 months got my cycle back for the last consecutive 6 months. Do you have any insight or advice for someone in a scenario like mine? Will the follicles ever dissipate back to normal? I am 32 & so concerned about fertility for when I hopefully meet my person. What can I do to optimize… if I was your daughter would you recommend freezing my eggs at this stage, all things considered?                                           Yvonne: Did a search for a previous podcast but didn't find anything about reversing swollen finger joint by right index knuckle. Assume this was the first of an arthritic flare which has subsided but and the swelling went down from what it was but it won't go away completely. Is there a way to return to its normal size or is the damage permanent?                                              Anonymous: Hi Doctor Cabral! Question about a 7 month old baby. She's happy, eats & sleeps well, breast fed, just started some solids, no medical ‘interventions'. She struggles with congestion & her right eye has been irritated since birth. It's almost always watery & boogery. She was born a month early & mom had pretty severe preeclampsia, baby's oxygen was low at birth so she was on oxygen for her 1st 12 hours or so, but quickly recovered on her own. Wondering if there's something that can be done naturally for her breathing & eye. We're not sure what is causing it. Clogged tear duct? Mom & dad eat healthy & live as close to a toxin free life as humanly possible. 1st thoughts are the pets or possible mold, but she doesn't improve when they leave their home for 3-4 day trips. Thoughts? Thanks!!                                             Sarah: Hello!!! Context - Im 28, I've done 7 day detox, HTMA, CBO, heavy metal detox, gut testing about to do hormone testing. I take your DNS, greens, omegas, zinc, b complex, magnesium, digestive enzymes. I dry brush, sauna, weight training, lots of walking, daily breath work etc. I feel like my stress is the lowest it's been and yet I still experience debilitating fatigue that can last for few days/weeks where even just walking is a struggle. Could this just be part of the 'healing' process as I know it's not linear. Is there anything else I should look at/do? Sometimes when I'm moving around going on with my day I'm fine but then when I sit down a full load of fatigue hits me. I also notice when I drink coffee/green tea I yawn alot. I've experienced this for a few years.      Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3404 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

While few doubt the opportunity represented by real-world evidence, some concerns remain about its validity compared to traditional forms of clinical evidence, particularly among regulators. To address these concerns, IQVIA Consumer Health's vice president of global research and development and real-world evidence services, Volker Spitzer, suggests that incorporating some elements of traditional trials, such as randomization, is a good way to persuade regulators that RWE can be used for consumer health innovation, for example in generating new claims or supporting Rx-to-OTC switch. Looking forward, Spitzer is excited about the ways in which digital health tools and artificial intelligence can be used to expand the scope of RWE as well as drive personalization for consumers. Timestamps: 3:00 - Addressing concerns about RWE's scientific rigour and validity 12:00 – Regulators' views of RWE, particularly for consumer health 16:00 – Use of RWE for Rx-to-OTC switch 22:00 – The future of RWE Guest Bio: Volker Spitzer has more than 30 years of R&D experience spanning the consumer health sector, ingredients industry, and academia. Beginning his career as a professor in pharmaceutical sciences, he ascended to global positions encompassing R&D, innovation, licensing/M&A, and medical marketing at firms like Roche, DSM Nutritional Products, and Bayer. Since October 2017, Spitzer has been affiliated with IQVIA Consumer Health, serving as the vice president for global R&D and RWE Services. His purview primarily includes clinical research, RWE, virtual trials, and the burgeoning field of digital health. He has penned over 80 scientific publications, whitepapers and textbooks centered on science and innovation.

Even if you don't have hot flashes, stay with me on this because this episode is on exercise and hot flashes. We're going to dissect the science and eradicate “science says” as a cry for validity by influencers.  Hot flashes are one of the most common symptoms of menopause. I'll talk about the relationship between exercise and hot flashes along with other menopause symptoms like muscle loss or fat increase.   In previous podcast episodes and books, I've shared researcher comments about whether exercise could mitigate menopause symptoms. The answer, “Yes, provided it's intense enough.”    The Science A 2024 study on 72 pre, peri and postmenopausal women, published in the Menopause Journal of The Menopause Society, looked at the impact of minutes spent in 3 exercise intensities and body composition on total menopause symptoms (TMS).  More symptoms were associated with higher body fat. Intense physical exercise improves % body composition and may reduce TMS, beneficial for perimenopausal women.  An article published by the American College of Sports Medicine, looked at protein turnover changes, muscle size, quality and strength during menopause. All seemed to decline.    What we don't know [Dr Stuart Phillips' response to Mary Claire Haver's Instagram post regarding estrogen's impact on muscle] is the cause for these changes.   Is there evidence for causation between decline of estrogen and decrease in muscle mass, which some women experience:  Insomnia  Poor mood, depression or anxiety Lack of motivation (serotonin receptors) A time crunch in midlife  Comfort or emotional eating  Repeatedly, women will say, “I haven't changed a thing, but my results have changed.” That would be true if you didn't change what it was you were doing. If your hormones have changed, we have to change the exercise.   Another 2024 study in Menopause Journal showed both moderate intensity and resistance training exercise will decrease hot flash occurrence in some women, especially in women with depression.  High Intensity - more impact on body composition and positive impact on hot flashes Moderate Intensity - decreased hot flash occurrence   Exercise and Hot Flashes, Estrogen and Muscle Whether we're talking about exercise and hot flashes or estrogen and muscle loss, so many variables could be at play, even if the science is a randomized double-blind study with a large enough subject pool. If hormones have changed, we have to change the exercise (including nutrition and sleep habits) or it's not going to work.  If medications become important, then we have to look at micronutrients because they're depleted by each prescription or OTC med. If you don't absorb micronutrients you don't have optimal muscle or strength building blocks.    Social Media The type of studies that influencers share matters. Whether they've shared a review of literature, a double-blind randomized control study, or a narrative or know what that means What is the interpretation that helps you make decisions on changes you may want to consider or that reinforces what you are doing? The only real thing an influencer is sharing unless they share the science with you is, “what works for me” and you're left to guess… is that really what happens behind the scenes?    But before I share that, I think we know this:  Both are on a worthy mission… To improve the knowledge we have about muscle, bone and aging and the impact on them of daily and weekly habits  To acknowledge menopause has historically impacted women's health.   What can you do with the information? Make the best choices on exercise prescription, dietary choices, lifestyle habits to offset what is impacted by hormonal changes Make the best choices with their time and energy for women with hormonal changes to get the optimal health habits. Provide clarity about the exercise prescription that is most advantageous and then customize it for women based on their fitness status, health history, and stage of menopause  Train an army of Menopause Fitness Specialist® in every fitness club, health center, university and behind every online program.    Become a Coach on Exercise and Hot Flashes for Women in Midlife If you are interested in becoming a Flipping 50 Menopause Fitness Specialist® and tired of guessing for yourself, your clients and watching a lot of bro science applied to women without ever considering…  We've never asked questions about pelvic floor health in intake forms in the fitness industry. We've never considered from ovulation to luteal phase, a change in nutrition and exercise might serve a woman in reducing injury and getting better results. We've never suggested a woman test her muscle mass at 25 and bone at 30 when she's peaking to compare later.   Do you want to know how to create a comprehensive exercise prescription that supports, not worsens:  Insomnia Pre-diabetes and insulin resistance Low libido  Low bone mass  Body and (specifically) belly fat Exercise  Hot flashes/night sweats   More than 7 other key changes in exercise prescription that help a woman arrive at menopause, thrive through menopause, and enhance her longevity – reach out to me right now. We're opening the enrollment for the Flipping50 Menopause Specialist®. This is an amazing opportunity to join the program. Not only get the knowledge you need, but the business growth coaching so you aren't a wise broke trainer or coach like so many of your peers.  The number of trainers increased from 250,000 to 750,000 in the last decade. The number of health coaches has grown from zero to thousands in a few short years.  Yet, few of those are making a profit, let alone a living.  They're building websites, apps, social media…  they are failing.

Today, Will and Colin dissect Galaxy's report on the crypto lending market. The crypto lending sector crashed 80% after peaking at $64.4 billion in Q4 2021 following failures at Genesis, BlockFi, and Celsius which fissured the lending landscape during bitcoin's 2022 bear market. Since then, DeFi lending has surged 959% to $19.1 billion and has now overtaken centralized lending. Plus, Tether emerged from the bear market as the dominant player in centralized lending, why ASIC-backed loans haven't recovered from 2021's go-go days, and why bitcoin miners will increasingly leverage their HODL to access financing.# Notes:- Crypto lending market: $36.5B in Q4 2024- DeFi lending grew 959% since Q4 2022- Tether controls ~70% of centralized lending- ASIC-backed loans collapsed in 2022- Large miners beginning Bitcoin lending operations- Interest rates lower in DeFi vs. OTC markets00:00 Start03:34 Why does lending matter?05:56 Lender types07:02 DeFi loan market08:30 Lending market growth24:47 Future of the lending market25:41 Lava27:02 AAVE28:22 Interest rates31:54 Predictions: Miners using BTC as collateral33:22 Predictions: Rates converging with tradfi35:10 Predictions: Retail lending products

A Note from James:Sunny Ray is working on an incredible project involving Bitcoin and his company, Matador. They're digitizing gold—turning it into crypto—and he's a Bitcoin maximalist. That's different from my stance: I think there are many crypto tokens that are useful for specific purposes. But Sonny's view is clear—Bitcoin is the foundation.We talk about what digital gold really means, why tokenization is so important, and how the biggest institutions in the world—like BlackRock—are embracing this shift. We also get into why exchanges are hard to use, the future of Ethereum, how gold works culturally in places like India, and why Matador is building its entire strategy on top of Bitcoin. This is a replay from a crypto call I recently held with subscribers.If you have questions, ask me on Twitter: @jaltucher.Episode Description:In this episode, James talks with Sunny Ray, president of Matador, a public company digitizing gold using the Bitcoin blockchain.
