On today's PRO Research Meeting, Kyle, Martin, and Jay break down the harsh reality of crypto: 99% of tokens are trash. From tokenomics to regulation, from DeFi's dominance over CeFi to the future of yield-bearing stablecoins, the team pulls no punches. They also dig into why investing in crypto today is like angel investing with worse odds, and why the real edge is in going deep and staying focused. If you want a no-BS look at where the space is headed, this is your blueprint.

In today's episode we go behind the scenes of the new Ethereum documentary featuring Vitalik Buterin. The filmmakers take us inside Vitalik's mind, lifestyle, and values — from building bunny worlds in Excel as a kid to helping Ukraine fund its war effort through Ethereum. We unpack why Vitalik skipped the White House Crypto Summit, how he handles the spotlight, and what the film reveals about his view on leadership, decentralization, speculation, and building through bear markets. If you've ever wondered what makes Ethereum's creator tick, this is the story you've been waiting for.

Tariffs have no resolution in sight and uncertainty is off the charts—so we called in Lord Fed, UK-based portfolio manager and macro expert, to help us make sense of it all.

Plus: is the Fed about to cut rates? Will the stock market crash if the trade war drags on?

In today's episode, we break down the macro storm brewing in global markets—from rising Treasury yields and tariff wars to inflation pressure and the Fed's next move. Investors are asking: will the Fed step in, or let things break?

If you're trying to make sense of the chaos, this episode is your map.
