Topman Mark Nuvelstijn vertrekt per direct bij Bitvavo. In een korte verklaring laat hij weten niet meer terug te keren naar het cryptoplatform dat hij mede oprichtte. Het vertrek volgt op onthullingen van Het Financieele Dagblad over het overtreden van anti-witwasregels. Daarnaast zou Nuvelstijn hebben geprofiteerd van handel met voorkennis, wat de druk op zijn positie aanzienlijk vergrootte. Bitvavo is een van de grootste spelers in Nederland en het vertrek van de CEO is daarom een belangrijk signaal binnen de sector. In de prijsanalyse zien we dat bitcoin al geruime tijd boven de grens van 100.000 euro blijft hangen. Sinds 8 mei beweegt de koers zijwaarts, maar bij nadere beschouwing valt op dat de toppen en bodems juist dalen. Vooral op de BTC/EUR-grafiek is dit patroon nog duidelijker zichtbaar, wat deels te maken heeft met de zwakke positie van de euro tegenover de dollar. Ook Tether komt ter sprake. Ondanks het feit dat de stablecoin sinds kort verboden is in Europa, blijft de totale marktwaarde van Tether de afgelopen maanden stijgen – met miljarden tegelijk. Opmerkelijk, want je zou verwachten dat een “verbod” zorgt voor afname. Die Europese regels – waaronder MiCAR, DORA en de Travel Rule – zorgen ervoor dat partijen flink aan de bak moeten. Mauro Halve bij Amdax, bevestigt dat zijn bedrijf inmiddels volledig compliant is. In Nederland kregen cryptobedrijven slechts zes maanden de tijd om zich aan te passen – een relatief korte overgangsperiode. Daarmee ligt de lat hoog: niet alle partijen zijn er op tijd klaar voor, en het is nog onduidelijk of dat dagen, weken of zelfs maanden gaat duren. Ook in andere landen zijn de verschillen in aanpak groot. Tot slot werpen we een korte blik op een nieuwe trend in de sector: tokenized stocks. Grote namen als J.P. Morgan, Robinhood, Kraken en Gemini stappen inmiddels in deze markt. Wat deze ontwikkeling inhoudt, en wat het betekent voor beleggers, bespreken we verderop in de podcast, samen met Fenna de Blaauw van Gemini.

Crypto News: Bitcoin has its highest weekly close ever at $109,200. This is a bullish sign for Altcoins and the entire crypto market. Elon Musk says new political party America Party will support Bitcoin. Show Sponsor -

I know some of you are tired of hearing about Bitcoin and digital currencies. That's not what this week's show is about. This week's podcast conversation is broader—it touches the entire global economy. But…you just can't talk about macroeconomic trends anymore without talking about digital dollars and Bitcoin. Leaving them out today would be like ignoring gold when discussing commodities. There's a section this week in my interview with Ian Reynolds that dives deep into the bond market and the growing influence of stablecoins. And I realized—it might be helpful to give you a bit of context up front. If you're already familiar, consider this a refresher. If not, this will make the second half of our conversation a lot more useful. Let's start with the 10-year U.S. Treasury—arguably the most important interest rate in the world. This one number influences everything from mortgage rates to stock valuations to how much it costs the government to borrow money. Historically, when inflation drops, yields on the 10-year tend to fall as well. That's the standard relationship: lower inflation usually leads to lower yields. But that's not what's happening right now. Despite a year of cooling inflation, the 10-year Treasury yield has stayed surprisingly high. Why? The answer boils down to supply and demand. On the supply side, the U.S. government is flooding the market with Treasuries—over a trillion dollars' worth every quarter—to finance its growing deficits. That's a lot of new bonds entering the market. At the same time, demand isn't keeping up. Foreign central banks like China and Japan, which used to be some of the biggest buyers of our debt, are pulling back. Some are dealing with their own domestic issues. Others are deliberately reducing their exposure to the dollar as a reaction to U.S. foreign policy over the past year. So: more supply, less demand—what happens? Bond prices go down, resulting in higher yields for bond investors. That, in turn, means higher borrowing costs for everyone—including the U.S. government, businesses, and consumers. That's why, even with inflation falling, the 10-year hasn't followed the script. But here's where things get interesting. A new kind of buyer has started stepping in: stablecoin issuers. Stablecoins—like USDC and Tether—are digital tokens pegged to the U.S. dollar. They've become essential plumbing for the crypto economy, but their growth is increasingly relevant to the broader financial system. Why? Because in order to maintain their dollar peg, these companies need to back their coins with something stable—and that “something” is often short-term U.S. Treasuries. It turns out, that's a great business to be in. These stablecoin issuers collect real dollars, turn around, and invest them in T-bills yielding 5% or more. That spread—between what they earn and what they pay out—is pure profit. It's essentially a 21st-century version of a money market fund, just running on blockchain. And it's growing fast. Tether now holds more Treasuries than countries like Australia or Mexico. BlackRock has launched a tokenized Treasury fund that already has nearly $3 billion under management. And just this week, Mastercard announced that it's integrating USDC and other stablecoins for cross-border settlement. In other words, this isn't fringe anymore. It's moved into the mainstream, and it's growing quickly. Even lawmakers are catching up. Just this month, the U.S. Senate passed the GENIUS Act, a bipartisan bill that sets clear regulatory guidelines for stablecoins. It requires full backing by liquid assets—like Treasuries—and regular public disclosures. It's now headed to the House, and while not law yet, the momentum is clearly there. The takeaway? Regulatory clarity is coming, and that opens the door for large institutions, payment processors, and even governments to scale up stablecoin usage with confidence. So why does this matter for bond yields?

Recording date: 25th June 2025Compass, episode 20Tether, the company behind the USDT stablecoin, has acquired a 37.8% stake in Elemental Altus Royalties Corp, marking a significant development for the mining royalty sector. The transaction, executed at $1.55 per share through purchases from La Mancha and another shareholder, and grants Tether the right to acquire up to 51.8% of the company.The investment brings unprecedented financial firepower to the mining space. Tether generates over $5 billion annually in cash flow from its $100+ billion in deposits, which are invested in U.S. treasuries yielding 4-5%. To contextualize this scale, Tether's annual revenue is five times larger than Franco Nevada's $1 billion revenue, positioning it as a potentially transformative force in mining sector capital allocation.This move aligns with Tether's hard asset philosophy and anti-fiat currency stance. The company already operates a gold-backed stablecoin and holds approximately seven tons of physical gold, making mining royalties a logical expansion area. Importantly, Tether retained Elemental's existing management team, including CEO Frederick Bell and CFO David Baker, signaling a disciplined approach focused on fundamental value creation rather than aggressive growth at any cost.The market response has been positive, with Elemental's stock price rising from $1.55 to $1.80 following the announcement. Industry observers believe this could trigger broader rerating of mid-tier royalty companies as cryptocurrency-derived capital enters the sector. The transaction represents potential crossover between cryptocurrency and precious metals investors, both sharing anti-fiat currency philosophies.For the mining industry, this development addresses persistent capital constraints and introduces substantial new liquidity. The investment likely represents the beginning of Tether's mining sector involvement, with potential for additional investments across the value chain as the company seeks hard asset exposure for its massive cash flows.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The Senate is moving toward final passage on a landmark piece of legislation to regulate crypto after a bumpy path through the upper chamber. The bill, known as the GENIUS Act, would establish a regulatory framework for the $250 billion market for stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency tied to the value of an asset like the U.S. dollar. ~This episode is sponsored by Uphold~Uphold Get $20 in Bitcoin - Signup & Verify and trade at least $100 of any crypto within your first 30 days ➜ https://bit.ly/pbnuphold00:00 intro00:15 Sponsor: Uphold00:32 Stablecoin Narrative Incoming00:56 Stablecoin Bill Tomorrow01:23 Chasing Stablecoin Yields02:00 Ethereum is King02:28 Tether & Tron are toxic03:00 Tether Losing Dominance03:39 PayPal USD Growth04:19 Trust in Stablecoins - Ratings05:20 PayPal Marketshare vs stripe05:51 Jeremy Allaire: Merchants Getting Yields Soon07:21 Stellar x PYUSD07:46 Velocity vs Volume08:54 Flow USD backed by PayPal09:49 Flow Transactions All-Time High Soon10:20 PayPal CEO: Guest Check-out Importance11:22 Ripple USD vs PayPal USD12:12 Ripple just getting started12:59 XRP Point-of-Sale System Demo14:06 Retail Branded Stablecoins15:51 Stablecoin Portfolio Breakdown17:07 outro#Crypto #ethereum #XRP~Stablecoin Portfolio Breakdown

Circle's stock just tripled after going public, but behind the headlines is a much bigger story about the future of money. In this deep dive, we explain how stablecoins like USDC actually work, how Circle makes its money, and why global banks and regulators are racing to catch up. We break down the high-stakes rivalry with Tether, the Fed's influence on Circle's revenue, and the legislation that could reshape the industry. If Circle succeeds, it won't just be a crypto company; it could become the new backbone of global finance.This video is for informational purposes only and reflects the views of the host and guest, not Public Holdings or its subsidiaries.

Send us a textThe digital landscape is undergoing a profound transformation as privacy awareness grows. What once seemed like a fringe concern has become mainstream, with users increasingly questioning how their data is used and stored. Mathias Buus Madsen, CEO of Holepunch and a leading voice in open source development, stands at the forefront of this shift with a radical vision: eliminating servers entirely.After more than a decade dedicated to peer-to-peer innovation, Matthias has watched public perception evolve dramatically. "Things were different," he reflects on earlier days when Facebook was continuously growing and privacy concerns were dismissed with "I have nothing to hide." Today's reality looks markedly different, with each passing year bringing greater privacy consciousness—a trend Matthias describes as "bad for the world but very good for peer-to-peer."Holepunch, backed by Tether, has developed what they call the "Pear Runtime"—a foundation for building applications that operate without servers. Their flagship app Keet demonstrates these principles in action, functioning like Telegram but with a crucial difference: complete decentralization. "If we stop working, the apps will still work," Matthias explains, highlighting the revolutionary independence these applications maintain.This serverless approach creates extraordinary freedom for developers. Without infrastructure costs to consider, features can be added based purely on their value to users, not their operational expense. The encryption-first design means even the developers themselves can't access user data—sometimes frustrating users accustomed to service recovery, but ultimately providing unprecedented privacy protection.The intersection of AI with peer-to-peer technology presents particularly fascinating possibilities. While centralized AI models raise serious privacy concerns (who knows what happens to data shared with these systems?), decentralized approaches could empower users to make better decisions without surrendering their personal information. As Matthias puts it, the combination could be "the most exciting almost in human history" or, if hyper-centralized, "the most dystopian and scary thing."This episode was recorded through a Descript call on May 13, 2025.

Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Bob Coleman of Idaho Armored Vaults to discuss silver market dynamics, geopolitical tensions, and precious metals trends. They start by analyzing the recent 5.5% rise in silver prices, attributing it to Trump's tariff announcements and the impact on COMEX short positions. Coleman explains that the silver market is experiencing a squeeze due to excessive short positions, with traders struggling to unwind contracts as physical demand grows. The conversation highlights how managed money, including hedge funds and commodity trading advisors, has been forced out of long positions during market sell-offs, leaving shorts dominant in certain markets. This dynamic creates upward pressure on prices despite weak retail buying activity. Coleman notes that high-net-worth individuals are increasingly turning to precious metals as a hedge against economic uncertainty, though physical demand remains subdued compared to past cycles. They also explore platinum's 15-17% year-to-date gains and its potential for further growth due to supply constraints and rising industrial demand. The discussion touches on the delayed implementation of Basel III regulations, which have reduced bank activity in unallocated precious metals, and the growing role of stablecoins like Tether in the Treasury market. Coleman emphasizes the importance of physical ownership over derivatives or structured products, citing risks such as nationalization of storage facilities and geopolitical instability. He advises readers to review storage agreements and terms of service to avoid hidden counterparty risks. The interview concludes with a focus on long-term trends in precious metals, driven by inflation fears and central bank policies. Bob urges investors to stay informed and cautious about market manipulation.

Ronnie Stöferle, researcher and fund manager at Incrementum and author of the In Gold We Trust report, emphasizes that gold remains a critical asset as its role evolves alongside shifting global dynamics. Over nearly two decades, Stöferle has observed significant changes in how gold is perceived and demanded, particularly driven by emerging markets like Saudi Arabia, India, China, and Turkey. These regions now account for the majority of physical gold demand, both from central banks and private investors, underscoring a growing recognition of gold's value as a safe haven and store of wealth. Stöferle highlights that while gold is often seen as low volatility, it is currently in the "public participation phase" of its bull market cycle. This phase is characterized by increased media attention, higher price forecasts, and broader acceptance into investment portfolios. Despite gold's recent rise to around $3,300 per ounce, Stoferle maintains a bullish outlook, projecting a long-term target of $4,800 by the end of the decade. He attributes this confidence to underappreciated demand from emerging markets and growing skepticism toward traditional financial systems. The discussion also delves into the distinction between "safe haven gold" (physical gold stored securely) and "performance gold" (silver mining stocks and commodities). Stöferle suggests that while physical gold serves as a defensive hedge, performance gold offers higher potential returns. However, he cautions investors to actively time their exposure to these assets due to their volatility. Additionally, Stöferle addresses the role of Bitcoin alongside gold, viewing it as a complementary asset within a broader portfolio diversification strategy. He notes that while Bitcoin faces skepticism from traditional financial institutions, its adoption is steadily gaining traction, particularly among younger investors.
