Podcasts about Tether

It's common for songwriting artists to process their emotions through composing music. LA-based folk singer Annahstasia spent many years crafting her debut album, Tether, doing just that, without a metronome guiding her: “We're human beings in a room following our heartbeats and the natural rhythm that we feel together… My production style is essentially like energy doula-ing,” she says. As for English baroque pop experimentalist Patrick Wolf, the making of his latest album, Crying the Neck, as well as other batches of new songs he's been releasing that ended his decade-long hiatus, was a way to acknowledge that he was “a damaged vehicle”, after losing his mother to cancer and struggling to recover from a hit and run. Both artists are known for their big, often orchestral songs, but on this edition of Soundcheck, they each put on a solo performance, revealing the raw side of their lyrics and melodies.Annahstasia's Setlist: 1.Be Kind 2.SlowPatrick Wolf's Setlist: 1.Enter the Day 2.The Last of England Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On this episode of The Real Money Show, presented by Guildhall Wealth, Jeremy Wiseman and Jerry Correia break down a week where the Fed and Japan both raised rates and gold and silver still erased their losses. Plus, crypto giant Tether is quietly becoming a bank for physical gold and silver, buying bars and leasing them out to businesses that need financing. They also unpack Samsung's silver-heavy battery heading into production. And then there's a number on the U.S. Treasury's balance sheet that hasn't been updated in decades. If it ever is, the ripple effects are hard to overstate. The Real Money Show airs Saturdays at 1 p.m. ET on Rebel News. Jeremy and Jerry share expert insights on safeguarding your savings, diversifying your portfolio, and building long-term financial security. Since 2002, Guildhall has guided investors through inflation, market volatility, and global uncertainty, helping everyday people make informed financial decisions.

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Goldexperte Ronald Stöferle (Incrementum) über die aggressive Expansion von Tether in physische Vermögenswerte. Basierend auf exklusiven Recherchen und einem Interview mit Tethers Head of Special Operations, Juan Sartori, für den aktuellen „In Gold We Trust“-Report analysieren wir, warum das Unternehmen hinter dem USDT massiv physisches Gold kauft, Minenbeteiligungen erwirbt und mit Tether Gold (XAU₮) ein vertikal integriertes System aufbaut. Wir diskutieren, wie Zinserträge aus US-Staatsanleihen in Farmland, Gold und Bitcoin reinvestiert werden, ob Stablecoins die globale Dollar-Dominanz sichern und welche Dynamik entsteht, wenn Kapital aus dem 140 Billionen Dollar schweren Anleihemarkt in knappe monetäre Güter abwandert. In Gold we Trust 2026Ronnie auf XLEADING PARTNER

In this extraordinary episode, Greg the Hydrogen Man shares his remarkable story of how a near death experience, or NDE, led him to discover the incredible healing properties of hydrogen therapy.  Through his journey, he experienced a miracle of natural healing that not only restored his physical health but also revealed his life's purpose. He also met spirit guides and masters and fully experienced God - which was nothing like what he ever thoughts.

"You are going to see a crack in the bond market."   This episode breaks down why the bond market, not the stock market, is the one investors should be watching right now, as 30-year US Treasury yields hit their highest levels in about two decades. He explains what a bond actually is, how it differs from a stock, and why the US government has had to start buying its own debt to stabilize the market.   Jaspreet Singh walks through why Treasury yields set mortgage, auto loan, and credit card rates across the economy, and why traditional lenders like the Federal Reserve, foreign governments, and banks have grown more cautious about lending to the US. He also covers the debt to GDP ratio, the risk of a self-reinforcing "doom loop," and how investors might think about positioning their money depending on which direction the economy heads.   In this episode, you'll learn: The core difference between owning a stock and owning a bond, including who gets paid first in a bankruptcy Why the 10-year Treasury yield sets mortgage, auto loan, and credit card rates across the economy Why the Federal Reserve, foreign governments like Japan and China, and banks have become more cautious lenders to the US How the 2022 Silicon Valley Bank collapse was tied to rising Treasury yields and falling bond prices How the Genius Act requires crypto companies like Tether to buy US Treasuries, becoming a fast growing source of demand Why the US debt to GDP ratio has grown from about 55% in 2000 to roughly 125% today The "doom loop" scenario, where rising debt, higher rates, and money printing can feed into each other The two paths forward, the economy outgrowing the debt versus the doom loop, and how that shapes investment decisions   Keywords: bond market, Treasury yields, national debt, mortgage rates, Federal Reserve, Silicon Valley Bank, Genius Act, debt to GDP, doom loop, investing   ✅ Register for my investing Workshop & get Market Briefs as a bonus: Please note: Yes, these are our sponsors & advertisers.

Trump has swamped the U.S. in corruption - Nick Cohen argues that the UK must act now to escape the same fate Nick Cohen delves into the history of past political donations as he argues that the UK must do all it can not to be plunged into the brazen corruption of Donald Trump's crooked White House.The controversial gift of £1 million to the Labour Party by former Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone produced an exception to a tobacco-advertising ban for Formula One. Uniquely among Western democracies, Britain also lets money purchase a seat in the legislature through peerages; the odds that such honours were coincidental were once put at winning the lottery jackpot five times running. Because big money in politics was never cleaned up, Cohen says, we now live in an age of extreme wealth in which sums that are rounding errors to crypto billionaires can buy an entire party.CRYPTO-SLEAZE & REFORMNick says there is rightly deep concern over the unprecedented funds being showered on Reform by shadowy foreign-based: Christopher Harborne a main investor in the Tether stablecoin firm, has recently pledged £36 million, on top of an earlier £5 million personal gift to Farage, and earlier donations to Reform totalling £12million. The total amount to Reform and Farage would total a staggering £53 million! The Harborne £36 million is being matched by another crypto-billionaire, Ben Delo, co-founder and former chief executive of BitMEX. Delo pleaded guilty in 2023 to U.S. anti-corruption charges over failed anti-money-laundering controls and was later pardoned by Donald Trump. Farage, whom Nick Cohen calls Trump's acolyte, then lobbies the Bank of England against a digital pound that would compete with his patrons' products and presses for capital-gains-tax cuts on crypto. Both Harborne and Delo have indicated they will move back to the UK so their huge donations can be valid, and legally made under current UK electoral law.Labour, despite a huge Commons majority, is not closing the loophole that currently allows foreign based donors to move to the UK in order to make a donation because it too lives off big money. An insider account of the 2024 campaign records Angela Rayner's proposed ban on foreign donations being pulled after Labour's then-biggest donor, Lord Ali, objected. Nick finds a mere foreign-donor ban inadequate anyway: money has no smell, and a gift from Thailand or Hong Kong does not become virtuous if the donor moves to Britain. He wants a hard cap on donations regardless of source—even if that hurts trade unions—plus more public funding of parties, building on existing Short Money. If a Labour government will not do that, he asks, what is the point of it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ethena's Guy Young explains why the companybuilt a neobank that pays 6% in yield, 5% cash back, and never tells users they're holding self-custodial stablecoins instead of dollars. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 1inch.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to swap tokenized securities, crypto and more.

That data point convinced Ethena Labs founder Guy Young the onchain dream needed a backup plan. Young joins Laura Shin days after launching Ethena Pay, a neobank paying 6% on dollar deposits and 5% cashback in AVAX while hiding from users that their balance sits in a self-custodial stablecoin wallet, not a bank account. He argues yield, not brand loyalty, is what pulls the next hundred million users onto crypto rails. They cover why Young shrugs off Tether-backed Plasma as a rival, how USDe's backing shifted from a basis trade toward AAA-rated real-world-asset lending, why a Revolut-style KYC breach is a risk Ethena can't fully control, and why card spend and FX fees, not USDe's own yield, are the revenue line he is actually chasing.

CMS Holdings operator Dan joins us for a conversation about positioning for the next bull market.Tokenized equities end up bigger than stablecoins, and Dan Matuszewski thinks most people have the reason wrong. It isn't about 24/7 trading or DeFi composability. It's that an enormous share of the world wants to own Nvidia and structurally can't, exactly the gap Tether filled for dollars. He also pushes back on the barbell everyone's crowding into, and makes the contrarian case that L1s are underrated because nobody can articulate why you'd own them.Dan Matuszewski is the Co-Founder of CMS Holdings and previously ran one of crypto's largest OTC trading desks.The Rollup is where the leaders of digital assets and finance converge.

Porter Stansberry joins Trevor Hall for a wide-ranging long-form episode of Mining Stock Daily covering everything from the transformation of financial media to what Porter believes is a fundamentally broken U.S. monetary system.Porter begins by looking back at the creation of Stansberry Research in 1999 and explains how the economics of financial publishing have completely changed. With podcasts, YouTube and newsletters dramatically lowering the barriers to entry, Porter argues it is easier than ever to build an audience—but increasingly difficult to separate high-quality financial research from an overwhelming amount of free content.The conversation then shifts to markets and Porter's long-standing thesis that currency debasement is changing American behavior. He connects inflation and declining purchasing power with increased speculation, and leverage, arguing that many seemingly irrational behaviors are actually rational responses to a monetary system in which traditional paths to building wealth have become increasingly difficult.Finally, Trevor and Porter turn to gold, Bitcoin and mining equities. Despite owning physical gold since 2001, Porter explains why he refuses to own traditional gold miners and instead favors royalty and streaming companies, which he believes offer structurally superior returns on capital. They also discuss Tether's growing involvement in the gold sector, gold-backed stablecoins and whether digital assets could introduce a much broader audience to precious metals.

Alex Thorn talks with Dan Matuszewski (CMS Holdings) about the state of the crypto market. Alex and Dan discuss whether bitcoin has bottomed, how Robinhood Chain competes with Base, the future of stocks onchain, stablecoin wars, and Tether's new financial audit. Alex also talks with Connor Finemore (Galaxy Trading) about the durability of the AI trade and what lies ahead for equity markets.

Tether faces lawsuit for allegedly freezing $42M USDT before a warrant. Two Thai businessmen are suing Tether, alleging it froze 42.4 million USDT months before U.S. authorities obtained a seizure warrant. Tether calls the lawsuit baseless, but it raises the question of whether the issuer can freeze tokens in private wallets before any legal process.

Podcast SummaryWall Street's largest banks are preparing their own stablecoin infrastructure while the London Stock Exchange Group and Kraken work toward tokenized UK stocks. Matt looks at whether bank-issued stablecoins can realistically challenge Tether and Circle, why stablecoin-yield rules could give traditional banks a competitive advantage, and how Robinhood's blockchain activity fits into the broader convergence between traditional finance and crypto-native markets. The infrastructure story extends into AI and security. Hut 8's massive data-center agreements show how quickly Bitcoin miners are becoming AI infrastructure companies, while Ripple prepares the XRP Ledger for future quantum threats and Zcash works to make private transactions dramatically faster. Matt also examines the emerging cybersecurity risk from increasingly capable AI systems that can discover vulnerabilities in publicly accessible software, including the smart contracts, bridges and wallets securing billions of dollars in crypto.

The SEC finally wrote the rules down. Citi is about to hold your Bitcoin. Thirty-nine state banking associations are building their own blockchain. And a $3 billion short squeeze shoved Bitcoin through $71K — right before Joel disappears on his honeymoon until November. On August 18, the SEC published a 402-page proposing release called Regulation Crypto Assets: two registration exemptions plus a conditional safe harbor that can finally retire the "investment contract" label once an issuer permanently stops the managerial efforts it promised. For eight years this industry was regulated by lawsuit. For once, nobody had to get sued to find out what the rules were. Meanwhile Bitcoin ripped more than 20% in a week — and is still down on the year. Joel says zoom out: $81K keeps rejecting price, that's a double top, and the four-year cycle still points at a bottom somewhere between late October and early December. Which makes this rally a bull trap until proven otherwise. Also in this one: Open USD and its 140-partner consortium taking aim at Circle and Tether, the BankChain Alliance putting 3,283 banks on a chain of their own, Arthur Hayes coming out of retirement to sell food for AI agents, 512GB Macs that run frontier models on your desk, Anthropic's $65 billion run rate ahead of its IPO, and the guy calling the entire AI industry a con.This is the last one until mid-November. Joel's getting married.

Tether is evolving far beyond its roots as a stablecoin issuer, building a broader financial and technology company around USDT, U.S. Treasuries, Bitcoin, gold and even farmland. The conversation covers how its new KPMG audit addresses years of criticism, why Tether is hedging its exposure to the dollar with scarce assets, and how it could eventually become one of the largest buyers of U.S. government debt.

Bitcoin ging na de 70.000 dollar van vorige week door naar 79.000 en tikte maandag even 81.000 dollar aan. De koers staat nu rond 78.500 dollar, ruim 13 procent hoger dan een week eerder, Ethereum op ongeveer 2.480 dollar. In dollars gemeten is het de grootste weekstijging ooit. Aanjager is het Amerikaanse ministerie van Financiën, dat de terugkoop van langlopende staatsobligaties verdubbelt om de rente te drukken. Beleggers vluchtten naar goud en bitcoin, wat op Wall Street de debasement trade heet: je koopt iets wat niet bijgedrukt kan worden. Of de bearmarkt daarmee voorbij is, valt te bezien. Er werd voor meer dan 4 miljard dollar aan shortposities geliquideerd, weddenschappen op een daling die gedwongen werden gesloten, en dat is brandstof die maar één keer brandt. De instroom in de bitcoin ETF's houdt wel aan, met nog 650 miljoen dollar deze week. De Fear en Greed index sprong van 36 naar ruim 70, van angst naar hebzucht. Bitcoin staat nog 37 procent onder zijn record van 126.000 dollar. In Washington stemt de Senaat op 15 september over de Clarity Act, de wet die moet vastleggen welke toezichthouder over welk deel van de cryptomarkt gaat: beurswaakhond SEC of grondstoffenwaakhond CFTC. De toezichthouders zetten zelf druk. Voorzitter Mike Selig van de CFTC laat zijn staf alvast eigen cryptoregels opstellen, en de SEC kwam met Regulation Crypto Assets, waarmee projecten tot 75 miljoen dollar per jaar mogen ophalen zonder volledige registratie. Bank of America, Wells Fargo en Santander werken volgens The Wall Street Journal aan een gezamenlijke stablecoin, een digitale dollar op de blockchain. Ze zien het geld anders langs zich heen stromen: Tether en Circle hebben ruim 250 miljard dollar in omloop en houden de rente daarop zelf. Ook kondigden 39 Amerikaanse bankiersverenigingen de BankChain Alliance aan, terwijl de Fed van Dallas waarschuwt dat spaargeld op de blockchain het bankwezen 700 miljard dollar aan kredietruimte kost. Dichter bij huis begon Revolut met de uitrol van EURR, een digitale euro die altijd één euro waard moet zijn, uitgegeven door Stripedochter Bridge. De stablecoinmarkt is 317 miljard dollar groot en voor 98 procent in dollars. De digitale euro van de ECB komt op zijn vroegst in 2029. Deze week in de Cryptocast Een gesprek met Bianca Zwart, chief strategy officer bij bunq. Zij is onder meer verantwoordelijk voor de fraudebestrijding bij de neobank uit Amsterdam, en daar zetten ze graag AI voor in. Hoe doen ze dat? En wat kunnen we verder nog verwachten op het gebied van crypto? Presentatie is in handen van Meindert Schut, co-host is Mauro Halve. Bitcoin ETF's halen in één week bijna 2 miljard dollar op Analisten wegen af of de bitcoinbearmarkt nu echt voorbij is Washington en Wall Street jagen de bitcoinrally aan Fear en Greed index slaat om naar extreme hebzucht Trump, de Clarity Act en de eigen plannen van SEC en CFTC CFTC schrijft zelf cryptoregels als de Clarity Act vastloopt Aandelen Circle en Coinbase zakken na plannen van grootbanken Drieduizend kleinere Amerikaanse banken bouwen de BankChain Alliance Fed van Dallas rekent voor wat getokeniseerde deposito's kosten Revolut start uitrol van euro stablecoin EURR in Europa ECB belooft meer privacy bij de digitale euro dan bij een bankoverschrijving Cryptocast 444B | Bunq zet vol in op AI, maar hoe doe je dat verantwoord én effectief?

Michael, Liam, and Brian open on what Bessent actually did, why issuing at the front end to buy the long end is yield curve control without the name, and why gold, oil, and Bitcoin all responded the way the debasement thesis said they would. They get into whether the move was coordinated, what the White House crypto meeting and the SEC's new proposals mean with the Clarity Act stalled, and how tokenized stocks and meme coins are about to make grift a feature of the next cycle. The back half turns to market structure: Citi launching Bitcoin custody, why Bitcoin is a one way street once people understand it, and the honeypot problem banks are walking into.

Bitcoin tikte vannacht even de 70.000 dollar aan, voor het eerst sinds juni, en staat nu rond de 69.500 dollar. Dat is zo'n 9 procent hoger dan vorige week. Ethereum deed het beter met 20 procent erbij, naar ongeveer 2.250 dollar. De aanleiding kwam uit Washington: het Amerikaanse ministerie van Financiën verdubbelde de terugkoop van langlopende staatsobligaties van 2 naar minstens 4 miljard dollar per operatie, nadat de rente op dertigjarig staatspapier met 5,29 procent op het hoogste niveau sinds 2007 stond. Beleggers lazen daarin een overheid die de rente wil drukken en gingen risk on. Volgens CoinGlass werd voor 1,7 miljard dollar aan shortposities geliquideerd en de Fear en Greed index sprong van angst naar hebzucht, voor het eerst dit jaar. Bitcoin staat nog altijd 45 procent onder het record van 126.000 dollar. In het Witte Huis ontving Donald Trump de top van Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini en Ripple, samen met de beurzen NYSE en Nasdaq en de toezichthouders van SEC en CFTC. Op de vraag of de Verenigde Staten zelf grote hoeveelheden bitcoin gaan kopen, zei hij dat daarover zeker is gepraat en dat hij naar de aanwezigen zou luisteren. Een besluit is er niet: de strategische bitcoinreserve die hij vorig jaar per decreet instelde bestaat tot nu toe alleen uit in beslag genomen munten. Trump riep het Congres verder op de Clarity Act aan te nemen en meldde dat de CFTC het handelsplatform Hyperliquid naar Amerika wil halen. Dat token steeg 25 procent. Tether liet na jaren beloven de jaarrekening controleren. KPMG gaf een goedkeurende verklaring zonder voorbehoud af, telde elke goudstaaf en zag reserves die de verplichtingen met 6,8 miljard dollar overtreffen. Wel gaat het om dochter Tether International, niet om het moederbedrijf, en het rapport zelf blijft binnen. Topman Paolo Ardoino over die kritiek: honestly, I don't care. Tot slot Trezor, waar een verzendpartner werd gehackt. Van bijna 14.000 klanten liggen naam, telefoonnummer en thuisadres op straat. De wallets zijn niet gekraakt, maar criminelen weten nu wie thuis een bitcoinkluis heeft staan. Reken op nepmails en neptelefoontjes. Deze week in de Cryptocast Een gesprek met Robbert Bink, oprichter van Cryptoherstel en Cryptorecovers, over het herstellen van verloren munten nadat je er zelf niet meer bij kan. Wat is er dan allemaal mogelijk? En hoe richt je veilig je eigen bewaarmogelijkheden in?

Crypto News: Paul Tudor Jones' investment firm increases stake in BlackRock's bitcoin ETF after year of selling. The White House is expected to host an event next Wednesday with officials from the crypto & prediction market industries. Goldman Sachs leaps into bitcoin income ETFs with $2.25 billion NEOS buyout.

Tokenized gold just crossed 300,000 holders with transfer volume up 57% in a month — and now silver has arrived on Solana right as silver prices rip. Precious metals veteran Andy Schectman joins us to break down what's driving the on-chain metals boom, whether Tether's gold position makes it one of the most important buyers in the market, and what tokenized metals actually mean for people who've spent decades saying "if you don't hold it, you don't own it." We also get into Aave's dominance in gold lending, Ondo using gold and silver as perp collateral, the yen carry trade moving on-chain, and China's liquidity pump.~This episode is sponsored by Tangem~Tangem ➜ https://bit.ly/TangemPBNUse Code: "PBN" for Additional Discounts!Guest: Andy Schectman | President & Owner of Miles Franklin Miles Franklin website ➜ https://milesfranklin.com/00:00 intro00:10 Sponsor: Tangem01:30 Massive Holder Spike03:00 Tether Strategy = U.S. Government10:00 $USAT legitimacy13:45 Treasury is closing the door soon16:50 Paxos Strategy: aims for Gen-Z20:20  “Volatility Income Vaults” are coming21:00 Aave controls all Gold Lending21:25 Silver enters on Solana24:00 Ondo Gold & Silver as Perps Collateral24:50 Hayden: How Uniswap will disrupt the gold market29:30 $CXMT Chart: China “pump team” unleashes30:30 Tether vs Bitcoin30:45 Genius act handout to gold?31:00 USAT vs USD131:15 Disruption incoming?31:40 China state controlled vs DeFi32:10 Tokenized Silver vs Tokenized Gold33:10 Gold boomers lost?33:30 HYPE vs COMEX34:25 Silver vs Gold yields34:50 Silver vs Gold ATH#Gold #Crypto #Solana~Gold & Silver POUR Into Crypto!

As confidence in the dollar comes under pressure, the battle over the future of money is getting serious. Tether is holding more than 100,000 Bitcoin and 150 tons of gold, while major investors debate which asset can actually serve a global digital economy. Gold has thousands of years of history, but Bitcoin offers something gold can't: verifiable scarcity, global access and digital ownership built for the internet.SPONSORS✅ Ledn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Simply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

The rise of non‑invasive BCIs and the privacy, security, and human‑relevance questions they introduce is becoming a central concern as this technology moves toward practical use.   In this episode, Paolo Ardoino, CEO at Tether, examines how lightweight on‑device models, silent‑speech inputs, and anonymized brain‑wave data can turn low‑bandwidth neural signals into real‑world actions, in conversation with host Daniel Faggella, Emerj CEO and Head of Research.   The discussion focuses on emerging consumer use cases, long‑term cognitive augmentation, and the safeguards needed to keep these systems private and safe.   Emerj works with a select group of AI vendors to reach Fortune 500 decision makers through research, media, and direct access.

China just made its first mid-month liquidity injection in history — $52 billion overnight — while state funds pour billions more into a market down 21% from its June highs. That money is chasing the AI trade, not crypto, and CXMT just became the most valuable company in the country while its own index bled. We break down what China is really protecting, where the liquidity is actually going, and why crypto is getting left behind.

The SEC stopped waiting for Congress. Harmony minted four billion tokens out of thin air. And on Robinhood's new chain, AI agents moved $200 million while the humans logged off. Joel and Travis cover the SEC's August 14 vote on Regulation Crypto — the first formal crypto rulemaking of Chairman Paul Atkins' tenure, landing days after the Senate left town without moving the CLARITY Act. Then: Harmony's empty-block exploit that minted 26% of ONE's total supply and the chain rollback the team is now weighing; Goldman Sachs buying NEOS Investments for $2.25 billion and inheriting a bitcoin income ETF; Tether becoming the 17th largest holder of US Treasuries on Earth; Anthropic watermarking everything Claude writes to satisfy the EU AI Act; H100 Group's world-first bitcoin-for-bitcoin acquisition; Hyperliquid's absurd $106 million of revenue per employee; and Anthropic's $9.1 billion, 20-year lease with bitcoin miner Riot Platforms — signed at a moment when it costs more to mine a bitcoin than a bitcoin is worth. Joel demos three AI builds including an America Online time capsule frozen in August 1996, and Travis walks through FourthWeb's agent swarm scraping 150-plus news sources every fifteen minutes. Plus: 52% of Gen Z investors have moved money earmarked for investing into sports betting, and 26% now call it part of their long-term financial strategy.

This is not a normal week...Because Crypto Curious has just hit 1 million downloads — and you can't have a celebration like that without getting the gang back together.So joining us this week is the one and only Craig Jackson, our original partner in crypto, who was here for more than half of the almost five years we've been making this show.

Hundreds of billions of dollars are flowing into AI data centers right now, and Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether - the company behind the world's most widely used stablecoin with 573 million users - thinks that investment is going to age very badly. In this episode, he joins Craig Smith to explain QVAC, Tether's open-source platform for running AI on smartphones, laptops, and edge devices, and to make a case that within five years, 90% of what ordinary people use AI for will run entirely on consumer hardware, without touching a data center. The evidence is already there: Tether's team built a 4-billion-parameter medical AI model that outperforms Google's 27-billion-parameter MedGemma, running on a good smartphone, and a 1.7-billion-parameter version that runs on the average $80 smartphone available in Africa. The deeper argument in this conversation is philosophical as much as technical. Ardoino applies the same disintermediation logic that made sending dollars to the world's unbanked free - zero transaction fees, revenue from treasury bill interest - to AI: "not your AI, not your intelligence." If you don't control how your AI runs and your data never leaves your device, the AI is genuinely yours. If it does, someone else is getting smarter with your information. He also makes a pointed economic argument: the AI companies currently charging $200 for subscriptions that cost $1,000 to $5,000 to deliver are subsidizing growth while private, and when they go public, retail investors will absorb the gap. His prescription isn't to stop building, it's to build differently, toward millions of small interacting models rather than trillion-parameter monoliths, toward devices that think locally rather than systems that route everything through Ireland and back.

Two weeks after launch, 85% of Robinhood Chain's trading is memecoins and just 1% is RWAs. Johann Kerbrat says that doesn't change the strategy. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cape⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Your biggest crypto vulnerability isn't your wallet, it's your phone number. Cape is America's privacy-first mobile carrier that rotates your SIM identity daily and blocks SIM swaps before they happen. Get 33% off your first six months at cape.co/unchained (use code: UNCHAINED). ======================================================== Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev told CNBC on July 2 that real-world assets, not memecoins, were the future of crypto on Robinhood Chain. Two weeks after launch, the numbers disagree: roughly 85% of daily trading on the chain is memecoins, while tokenized RWAs sit at about 1%. Johann Kerbrat, Vice President and General Manager of Robinhood Crypto, joins Laura Shin to argue the split is not a problem. He makes the case that building the chain permissionless was deliberate, and that memecoin trading through CashCat and PumpFun brings the liquidity RWAs will eventually need. Kerbrat also defends building the chain's lending and margin system on USDG over USDC or Tether, walks through the separate, unshared liquidity instance behind Robinhood's new perps product with Lighter, and addresses Robinhood's 63% quarterly drop in crypto transaction revenue. His answer: Robinhood Chain was never meant to smooth out that swing, and the real test is whether tokenization can outrun regulation.
