Op 1 iemand hoeft ABN Amro niet te rekenen. De Nederlandsche Bank gaat niet zomaar voor een overname van de bank liggen, zegt president Olaf Sleijpen. Hij is fan van één Europese kapitaalmarkt, en daarbij hoort ook dat elk overnamebod op waarde moet worden beoordeeld. Dus ziet hij het voorstel van het Belgische KBC vrolijk tegemoet. Als KBC nog twijfelde, is dit dan de bevestiging dat de weg voor een overname vrij is? Dat zoeken we deze aflevering uit. Verder hebben we het over de Europese autosector. Die krijgt bijval van een belangrijke politicus. De man aan de leiding van het grootste autoland van Europa is om. Friedrich Merz springt voor zijn autobouwers in de bres en wil af van de verplichte overstap naar elektrische motoren. Tegen 2035 wil de EU dat autobouwers geen enkele benzine- of dieselmotor meer maken. Maar autobouwers zien het als de strop, aangezien de concurrentie uit China moordend is. En met Merz aan hun zijde kan daar nog wel eens verandering in komen. Je hoort ook nog over een miljardenovername tussen twee Nederlandse bedrijven op Wall Street. Over de grootste uitkoop van een beursbedrijf met geleend geld ooit. Groter dan die van Twitter zelfs. En het gaat over het einde van een beursverhaal aan het Damrak. Een verhaal dat van korte duur was, want na één jaar zit het avontuur er alweer op.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Before you invest in any crypto project, you need to understand its tokenomics — the economic design behind the token itself. Tokenomics reveals how a token is created, distributed, and used… and it can make or break a project's long-term success.In this beginner-friendly episode of New To Crypto Podcast, I'll break it all down in plain English: ✅ What tokenomics actually means (and why it's like the DNA of a project) ✅ The 3 key elements every investor must check: supply, distribution, and utility ✅ Bonus: incentives, burning mechanisms, and how they impact value ✅ Red flags that signal you should walk away from a projectIf you've ever looked at a crypto project and wondered, “Is this legit—or just hype?” this episode will give you a clear framework to evaluate tokenomics like an informed investor.

I sat down with Cary Katz, the man who quietly built the modern stage of poker. He's the founder of PokerGO, the one who brought us the Super High Roller Bowl, Poker Masters, US Poker Open, and yes, even the Big Blind Ante. What fascinates me isn't just his $40M+ in tournament winnings, but his mindset: the shift from frustration to gratitude, from creating a prison with losses to celebrating them. Cary opens up about business risks, how passion projects cost more than you expect, and why he thinks integrity is the only real strategy in life.We also got into health, longevity, and some personal truths: how it took him 55 years to quit sugar, why lifting weights is a cheat code against the “four horsemen,” and how he views the next 30 years of his life as a freeroll. From billion-dollar loans to billions of minutes of poker watched, Cary's story isn't just about poker, it's about building, adapting, and finding perspective through the swings. He also finally lays out who he thinks are poker's true icons...

David Kinitsky is the CEO of Everstake, a leading global non-custodial staking provider serving institutional and retail clients, with $6.5 billion staked across 85+ networks. David was the founding General Manager of Grayscale Investments, now one of the world's largest digital asset managers, and previously led operations for SecondMarket, the private market platform later acquired by NASDAQ. Why you should listen Everstake is a professional staking provider founded in 2018 by a team of Ukrainian engineers. The company specializes in Proof-of-Stake (PoS) validation, helping individuals and institutions participate in securing blockchain networks while earning staking rewards. Today, Everstake supports more than 70 networks, including Ethereum, Solana, and Cosmos, and operates with a strong technical focus, maintaining over 99.9% uptime for its users. In terms of scale, the platform has worked with more than 735,000 stakers, facilitated over $6.5 billion in assets staked, and distributed around $712 million in rewards. Beyond being a validator, Everstake positions itself as a broader infrastructure partner within the Web3 ecosystem. The company has contributed to well-known projects such as Solana, Wormhole, The Graph, and Pyth, and has provided advisory and engineering support to help these networks grow. One of its most visible initiatives was managing the Aid for Ukraine crypto fundraising campaign, in partnership with the Ukrainian government and other industry players, which raised over $60 million for humanitarian and defense support. Recently, Everstake has also expanded into institutional services. Through a collaboration with io.finnet, it now enables enterprises to stake assets like ETH and SOL directly from secure multiparty computation (MPC) wallets, removing custodial risk while simplifying the staking process. This shows Everstake's dual focus: serving the crypto community at large while also providing infrastructure for institutional adoption.

Join Alex Tapscott and Andrew Young as they decode the world of Web3 with special guest David Tse, Co-Founder of Babylon. Listen in as they discuss the ongoing evolution of Bitcoin from a store of value and medium of exchange into a productive asset, how Babylon is leading the way with trustless Bitcoin staking and positioning it as a collateral superpower, the mechanics of Bitcoin staking, the launch of Babylon's Genesis and the incoming wave of chains set to be powered by Bitcoin security, the risks of wrapped tokens and why Babylon's trustless model matters, the potential symbiotic relationship between Bitcoin and Ethereum, the yields available to Bitcoin stakers, the accelerating institutional interest in Bitcoin staking, DeFi's missing piece that could unlocks trillions in value across the ecosystem, and more.

“I think this could be way bigger than the internet.” CoinFund's Seth Ginns describes the opportunity ahead for crypto, predicting the market cap could grow at least 10× in the next few years. In this in-depth conversation with Chris Perkins, Seth explains how Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) are becoming Wall Street's bridge into crypto, unlocking staking yields, DeFi income, and permanent capital advantages ETFs can't match. He breaks down how DATs defend against NAV discounts with buybacks, cash reserves, and M&A, and why strong management teams are critical for success. You'll also hear why institutional flows, macro tailwinds, and a pro-crypto U.S. policy could power massive growth, how AI + crypto could spawn the next wave of DATs, and why a global M2 liquidity signal that leads Bitcoin's price by ~100 days has him bullish. Plus, Seth shares his vision for an on-chain equity market that could transform capital formation worldwide.
