In this episode of "Financial Crime Matters," Kieran talks live from The ACAMS Assembly Las Vegas with Ned Conway, Executive Secretary at the Wolfsberg Group, an association of 12 of the world's largest banks that focuses on managing financial crime and money laundering risks. Ned discusses Wolfsberg's recommendations for banking stablecoin producers, pointing to the group's recent guidance "Provision of Banking Services to Fiat-backed Stablecoin Issuers." The guidance adapts some of Wolfberg's seminal recommendations for correspondent banking relationships and can be "flipped" to serve banks considering dealing in stablecoin in various capacities. Commenting on remarks earlier in the day by Undersecretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence John Hurley, Ned welcomeds promises of simplified suspicious activity reporting, greater information sharing by the public and private sectors, and regulatory oversight primarily focused on getting law enforcement what it needs to effectively fight crime.

In this episode of the Crypto Rundown Brendan and Tevo break down Bitcoin's sharp move below 100K and a Fear & Greed Index reading near historic panic levels, arguing that, historically, these zones have been great long-term entry points even if more short-term downside is possible. You walk through Bitcoin and Ethereum technicals, highlighting broken support, 200-day moving averages, and RSI setups while stressing caution on leverage but continued dollar-cost averaging for long-term bags. On the fundamental side, you cover JP Morgan's JPM Coin on Base, Tom Lee's aggressive Ethereum target, record-breaking Solana and XRP ETF launches, and a big outflow day from Bitcoin ETFs that doesn't match the overwhelmingly bullish institutional trend. You wrap with a discussion of underperforming fund managers, potential “stimmy” and Trump baby accounts, and a reminder that despite the chop and pain, crypto isn't going anywhere—and everyone is still secretly waiting for altcoin season.Brendan 6 Week Technical Analysis Trading Course https://www.cryptorevolution.com/brendans-mbr-program?utm_source=Internal&utm_medium=YouTube&utm_content=Rundown&utm_term=20251112Momentum Money Makers VIPwww.cryptorevolution.com/memecoins?utm_source=Internal&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_content=MMVIP&utm_term=DescriptionCheck out Plus500: https://plus500.comGet immediate access to my entire crypto portfolio for just $1.00 today! https://www.crypto101insider.com/cryptnation-directm6pypcy1?utm_source=Internal&utm_medium=YouTube&utm_content=Podcast&utm_term=DescriptionGet your FREE copy of "Crypto Revolution" and start making big profits from buying, selling, and trading cryptocurrency today: http://www.cryptorevolution.com/free?utm_source=Internal&utm_medium=YouTube&utm_content=Podcast&utm_term=DescriptionChapters00:00 — Intro, show is back, and framing the episode around big downside volatility and Bitcoin breaking below 100K.01:20 — Fear & Greed Index deep dive, comparisons to past panic moments (tariffs crash, COVID) and what that's meant historically.04:40 — Macro backdrop recap: tariffs, recession fears, and why this drawdown feels different from February even with similar fear readings.07:10 — Bitcoin technical analysis: 200-day moving average breaks, failed breakouts, support/resistance zones, and what levels to watch next.11:50 — Ethereum technicals: similar breakdown structure, potential targets in the 2.7–2.8K zone, and why Brendan is cautious short term but accumulating long term.15:10 — How Brendan is using RSI and higher lows in oversold territory to time entries, plus his micro bull run TA course + live sessions.18:05 — JP Morgan's JPM Coin launches on Base; Jamie Dimon's “capitulation” and what it signals about big-bank adoption of crypto rails.20:20 — Tom Lee's ultra-bullish Ethereum call (9–12K by January), how that ties into stablecoins/tokenization, and your reaction to how realistic that is.23:40 — Solana ETFs (like BSO L) smashing 2025 volume records, then XRP's XRPC ETF topping even that with the biggest day-one volume of the year.27:10 — Bitcoin ETFs see their second-largest day of outflows ever; discussion of “why the panic?” given how strong the fundamentals still look.30:10 — Underperforming fund managers, year-end “window dressing,” and how that might create messy price action into Q4 versus a long-term retail mindset.34:00 — Bitwise chart on who really owns Bitcoin, speculation on future government/bank buying, “stimmy”/tariff check chatter, Trump baby accounts, and closing altcoin-season meme + outro.MERCH STOREhttps://cryptorevolutionmerch.com/Subscribe to YouTube for Exclusive Content:https://www.youtube.com/@crypto101podcast?sub_confirmation=1Follow us on social media for leading-edge crypto updates and trade alerts:https://twitter.com/Crypto101Podhttps://instagram.com/crypto_101*This is NOT financial, tax, or legal advice*Boardwalk Flock LLC.

Stablecoins are dominating the headlines and policy-makers are responding rapidly. The instruments, though once primarily used as a trading pair for crypto-assets, are rapidly gaining a foothold in cross-border payments where their speed and low cost make them an attractive alternative in some corridors. Eyes are also on their potential adoption for wholesale settlement.    Thibault Pelé, head of product for digital currency at Worldline, joins Lewis McLellan, head of content at OMFIF's Digital Monetary Institute, to discuss the evolving uses of stablecoins and the promise this instrument shows in reshaping money.    

Join FPC Executive Director and CEO Reed Luhtanen as he goes off the rails with Emanuela Saccarola, head of cross border payments at Citi as the two talk about the progress in cross border payments, the work that needs to be done, stablecoins, AI, tokenized deposits, and an out of the ordinary vacation destination recommendation.

Circle (CRCL) has sold off more than 70% since hitting its all-time high in June, just a couple week after its IPO and shares quadrupling from its IPO price. Kevin Lehtiniitty believes the company will improve by expanding into a financial infrastructure platform. Volatility coming out of crypto long-term is another bullish indicator Kevin sees for Circle. Todd Stankiewicz adds that interest rates on a cutting path adds pressure to Circle's short to mid-term profit outlook, though frameworks for stablecoin like the GENIUS Act offer long-term support.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this episode, Kevin Lehtiniitty joins Jarrett to discuss the transformative nature of stablecoins, emphasizing that they are fundamentally software rather than traditional money. Kevin highlights the importance of programmable money and the shift in focus from technology to distribution, particularly in the context of bank-issued stablecoins and their associated counterparty risks.The conversation also touches upon the likely rise of CBDCs, how regulatory clariy continues to pay dividends for the overall crypto ecosystem and how algorithmic stablecoins shouldn't be deemed stablecoins.

Fintech bank SoFi (SOFI) rolled out crypto trading to retail customers on Tuesday. The move sets the pace as the first of several national banks planning similar moves in the coming months. SoFi previously gave customers the ability to buy, sell, and hold crypto through its app, but it agreed to shutter that service two years ago to obtain approval for its national banking license.~This episode is sponsored by Tangem~Tangem ➜ https://bit.ly/TangemPBNUse Code: "PBN" for Additional Discounts!00:00 Intro00:10 Sponsor: Tangem00:30 BTC ETF demand stalls01:20 Mike Johnson: We should be open by tomorrow03:00 Unemployment piling04:30 Crypto bills05:00 McRib is back!05:30 SoFi CEO: First crypto bank launch08:20 Top 10 Banks09:00 Ripple bank next?11:00 Tom Lee: Retail is never wrong13:00 Uniswap switches fee incentive13:45 Solana ETFs outperforms15:00 Outro#Crypto #XRP #Bitcoin~First Crypto Bank Launches

BlackRock's Head of Crypto Robbie Mitchnick joins Ryan to unpack how institutions are actually allocating (and why correlation to “digital gold” matters), what the ETF data says about demand for BTC and ETH, and why the October leverage flush didn't dent long-term adoption. We dig into BlackRock's tokenization roadmap, from the BUIDL-style tokenized money market funds and the Genius Act angle to the stablecoin flywheel, plus what's still missing: secondary liquidity and pragmatic regulatory clarity. Robbie lays out a realistic 24–36 month path, a 2026 “show-me” phase for real utility, and candid advice for allocators on sizing and asset selection. ------

Learn how first-generation wealth builders create financial freedom and what stablecoins could mean for your savings. How do you build wealth when you're the first in your family to be able to do so? And can stablecoins really out-earn your savings account? Host Elizabeth Ayoola and Sean Pyles explore generational wealth-building and the myths and realities of stablecoins in a rapidly changing cryptocurrency environment. Joined by entrepreneurs and fiancés Ronne Brown and Courtney Hale, Elizabeth kicks off the first segment with a heartfelt look at how first-generation wealth builders are redefining what it means to be “rich.” Ronne and Courtney share their journeys from modest beginnings to financial independence, relaying how childhood lessons shaped their values, how they built multiple income streams through entrepreneurship, and the steps they're taking to continue building generational wealth together. They discuss the power of investing early, using real estate and the stock market strategically, and protecting assets through estate planning and life insurance. Then, investing writer Sam Taube joins Sean and Elizabeth to break down the difference between Bitcoin and stablecoins — and whether high-yield stablecoins are too good to be true. They explore how the Genius Act changes crypto regulation, how yield-bearing stablecoins compare to high-yield savings accounts, and what risks investors should consider before diving in. They discuss how to find a balance between risk and reward in crypto-based savings options, how stablecoins actually earn yield, and why traditional banking products still offer peace of mind for the risk-averse.
