For episode 739 of the BlockHash Podcast, host Brandon Zemp is joined by David Lucatch, the Chair of nGRND, the Gold Protocol that converts stranded in-ground gold into liquid, reward-bearing digital assets, without extraction or environmental cost. David brings 40+ years of global entrepreneurial experience to this moment. He was an early architect of eCommerce payment infrastructure in Canada during Web1, built an AI/ML-powered engagement platform used by over 200 million people in Web2, and has spent Web3 at the intersection of blockchain, digital identity, and real-world asset tokenisation. He's a Forbes Business Council member, Rolling Stone Culture Council member, NY Emmy-nominated Executive Producer, and part of a team that holds a Guinness World Record in the online space.

In this episode, Chris Nichols sits down with Jack Henry's Lee Wetherington to unpack the biggest strategic shifts facing community banks today. From deposit pressures and the rise of small business banking to the growing importance of data strategy and payments, the conversation highlights how banks must rethink their approach to growth. The discussion makes one thing clear: success in the next phase of banking will depend on how well institutions leverage data, adapt their payment strategies, and evolve alongside rapidly changing customer behaviors, especially among Gen Z and small business owners.   The views, information, or opinions expressed during this show are solely those of the participants involved and do not necessarily represent those of SouthState Bank and its employees.

Tokenization is often associated with digital assets, but its greatest potential may lie in transforming financial market structure. In this episode of Market Matters, Julia Hermann and Sarah Hirsch speak with Tom Sy, Head of New York Life Investment Management's Multi-Asset Solutions team, about how tokenization could reshape ownership, settlement, and investment product capabilities over time. 

In this episode, Amanda and Tony discuss Bitcoin's recent pullback, the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF selloff, Ethereum maxi capitulation, DTCC's tokenization efforts on Stellar, the SEC's delay on tokenization guidance, the new Bitcoin Reserve bill, the Clarity Act, and reports that JPMorgan may acquire crypto companies.

David Vatchev is Head of Tokenization at Fasanara, Arpan Gautam is the Founder at Noon, and Rob Montgomery is the CoFounder at infiniFi.In this episode, David, Arpan, and Rob break down why not all private credit is the same, and why the short duration, asset-backed, diversified kind is fundamentally different from what's causing problems in TradFi. They walk through how Noon and infiniFi independently chose to allocate to Fasanara, how the First Brands Group bankruptcy stress-tested their thesis in real time, and what tokenized private credit needs to get right in its next phase for DeFi.------

The goal is a 24/7 global operating system for capital markets: spot, derivatives, payments, tokenized equities, and custody under one regulatory stack. Sethi makes the case for each move, from REAP's tripling revenue in emerging markets to Bitnomial's CFTC trifecta, and says what will actually drive Kraken's next three years is not trading volume. The conversation then turns to the SEC's paused innovation exemption for tokenized equities, why Citadel and SIFMA showed up to lobby against it, and whether direct listings on crypto rails could eventually replace Wall Street's IPO machine.

Despite rising inflation, a new Fed chair, and intense geopolitical volatility in the Middle East, the S&P 500 has posted its second-longest winning streak in 23 years. The market continues to surge, driven by strong corporate earnings and the rapid integration of efficiency tools like AI, proving this economic landscape is vastly different than the dot-com bubble of the past.Looking ahead, the hosts break down the massive upcoming IPOs for SpaceX and OpenAI, while highlighting a generational shift in financial infrastructure. The tokenization of stocks and the advancement of the Clarity Act signal a major regulatory milestone that will legitimize digital assets and democratize trading for long-term investors.Key Topics DiscussedRecord-breaking S&P 500 winning streaks and current market ralliesGeopolitical conflict impacts on global oil prices and inflationWhy the AI boom differs significantly from the dot-com bustExpectations and lockup periods for the SpaceX and OpenAI IPOsThe tokenization of stocks and 24-hour trading democratizationThe Clarity Act and the future of cryptocurrency regulationThe Road to Housing Act and institutional single-family home bansKey TakeawaysStock market resilience is currently driven by strong corporate earnings and positive forward guidance, overpowering short-term geopolitical noise.Artificial Intelligence is not a synthetic product but an efficiency tool, meaning current market investments are backed by highly capitalized, established infrastructure.Retail investors should approach the highly anticipated SpaceX IPO with caution, as early post-launch volatility and lockup expirations often lead to major price corrections.The tokenization of stocks and the progression of the Clarity Act will likely provide the regulatory oversight needed to usher in a new era of trust and transparency for digital assets.New homebuilders are offering aggressive incentives and rate buy-downs, making new construction more advantageous than older properties in the current high-rate housing market.Connect & Take Action:Wealth Intelligence Brief: Text "WIB" to 844-447-1555 to get Matty's free macro data, real estate intel, and crypto signals delivered to your inbox 3 times a week.Imagos Income Fund: Text "INCOME" or "DEALS" to 844-447-1555 to learn more about Matty A's private debt fund targeting 10% fixed returns paid out monthly.

I sat down live at Consensus Miami with William, ex-co-founder of Tether and WAX, to get his unfiltered take on where tokenization is actually heading. We dig into why stablecoins became the killer app, what's been holding back tokenized gold and real estate, and why the regulatory dam is about to break. William shares a fascinating perspective on AI in crypto, why blockchain is "the worst way to do almost anything" but has no equal for a narrow set of use cases, and why 30,000 suits showing up to a Bitcoin conference signals something has fundamentally shifted. If you want a grounded, no-hype view of what the next two years looks like for tokenization and institutional adoption, this episode delivers. Disclaimer:Nothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

Michael Tannenbaum became CEO of Figure in early 2024, taking over from founder Mike Cagney and leading the company through its September 2025 IPO. In this conversation, we get into the mechanics of how Figure's blockchain-based platform competes with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, what it actually takes to cut mortgage origination costs from $12,000 to $1,000, and where the real opportunities in tokenization lie.What We CoveredTaking over as CEO from Mike Cagney and the Big Rocks frameworkHow Figure describes itself: building the future of capital markets on blockchainThe B2B partner network and how it compares to Fannie Mae's functionCutting mortgage origination costs from $12,000 to $1,000 and 45 days to fiveWhy Figure competes directly with Fannie Mae and Freddie MacHow blockchain eliminates third-party diligence and prevents loan double-pledgingThe Figure Connect marketplace and its rapid growth since June 2024Where tokenization adds real value — and where it doesn'tYLDS: Figure's SEC-registered yield-bearing stablecoin and its role in capital marketsThe timing and mechanics of Figure's September 2025 IPOBuilding a rate-agnostic business across different macro environmentsThree growth areas: consumer mortgages, Democratized Prime, and on-chain equitiesKey TakeawaysFigure's origination platform and its capital market are the same system — you can't separate them, and that's the competitive moat. Tokenization only creates liquidity when the underlying assets are standardized and fungible; putting unique assets on a blockchain doesn't conjure buyers. The recent fraud cases involving double-pledged loans (Tricolor, First Brands, MFS) have turned blockchain's immutability from a skeptic's objection into a selling point. And Figure is running at what Michael calls the rule of 150 — 100% year-over-year growth at 50% margins — in one of the most rate-sensitive and entrenched markets on earth.About Michael TannenbaumMichael Tannenbaum is the CEO of Figure, a blockchain-based capital markets company he took public on Nasdaq in September 2025. Before Figure, he was an early executive at both SoFi (Chief Revenue Officer) and Brex (COO), and sat on the Brex board when it was acquired by Capital One.

This week, we speak with Carlos Domingo, Founder and CEO of Securitize. Securitize is working to close a business combination with Cantor Equity Partners II (NASDAQ:CEPT). As the use of stablecoins spreads, the opportunity to create digital tokens of other assets is spreading as well. For public investors, there will soon also be an opportunity to invest in one of the companies making that process happen. Carlos discusses how Securitize has driven key partnerships with financial institutions into a profitable position within the tokenization space, and why Cantor Equity Partners II's structure was a major factor why Securitize chose it as the company's route to the public markets. Give it a listen.

Pytheas Energy CEO Josh Zuker joins Inside Startup Investing to discuss how the company is using AI and data analytics to revive overlooked oil wells abandoned by major operators. Drawing on his unconventional journey from finance and real estate into oil and gas, Josh explains how Pytheas identifies underperforming “stripper wells,” optimizes production through monitoring technology, and builds long-term value from assets others leave behind. The conversation dives into the economics of oil production, how Pytheas approaches acquisitions and operational efficiency, and why the company ultimately views itself as both an energy operator and a technology company. Josh also shares his vision for turning Pytheas' growing dataset into a scalable software and analytics platform that could eventually serve independent operators across the oil and gas industry. Chris and Josh also discuss the future of AI in energy, blockchain and tokenization opportunities in commodities, and Pytheas Energy's long-term vision to scale production, acquire more assets, and potentially pursue an IPO.

Exchange-traded funds are fundamentally reshaping how capital is allocated, skyrocketing to a $22 trillion global industry that Bloomberg Intelligence estimates will surpass $50 trillion by 2035. Investors no longer view them simply as vehicles for broad passive exposure. Instead, ETFs have evolved into portfolio "Lego blocks" used to manage cash yields, seek downside protection and access previously difficult asset classes such as Bitcoin. This intersection of ETFs and digital assets is also driving broader financial innovation, spurring a lively debate around the future tokenization of equities. Samara Cohen, Global Head of Market Development at BlackRock, and Nicholas Peach, Head of APAC iShares, join host John Lee and special co-host Rebecca Sin on the Asia Centric podcast. Dialing in from the iShares ETF certification conference in Singapore, they discuss the evolution of the ETF wrapper, the growing buzz around prediction markets and why Asia’s ETF landscape – despite currently lagging behind the US and Europe – is poised for phenomenal growth over the next decade.

In this episode, Lex chats with Evan Malanga — Chief Revenue Officer of Yuma, a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group focused on growing the Bittensor ecosystem. They discuss how Bittensor's $6 billion protocol incentivises AI builders worldwide through token emissions across 128 competing subnets, and why the network has produced real commercial outputs — including a 72 billion parameter model trained on-chain and a coding agent rivalling Claude at a fraction of the cost. Evan explains Yuma's role as the institutional gateway to Bittensor through its validator, accelerator, and asset management products, and they explore why the concentration of AI in OpenAI and Anthropic is a systemic risk, and whether Bittensor's future extends beyond AI into a broader coordination engine for decentralised work. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS: Bittensor has crossed from experimentation into shipping benchmark-competitive work at a fraction of centralized cost. Three recent proof points: Templar (subnet 3) completed the largest decentralized pre-training run of a 72B parameter model using only the network's token incentives. Ridges, an AI agent platform, is hitting 88–90% on software engineering benchmarks, on par with Claude-class agents at ~5x cheaper, built by a 3-to-5-person team under $10M of token emissions. Score (subnet 44) is doing computer vision 200x faster than centralized counterparts. Small distributed teams are producing outputs competitive with frontier labs without raising venture capital or hiring staff. Dynamic TAO restructured emissions from validator-curated to market-curated, making each subnet its own tradeable asset. Previously, dominant validators assigned weights that determined how the 7,200 daily TAO emission flowed across subnets. Under Dynamic TAO, each of the 128 subnets has its own token denominated in TAO, and any holder can buy or sell into specific subnets, pricing them like a market rather than a committee vote. Subnet owners, miners, and validators earn fees in the respective subnet token. Distribution has settled into a power law: the top ten subnets hold ~80% of market cap. This is the move that turned Bittensor from “decentralized AI protocol” into a financial hyperstructure with hundreds of tokenized work markets layered on top. The economics for subnet owners are genuinely unusual — hundreds of millions in annual incentives, fully subsidized labor, no fundraising. A subnet owner gets access to up to ~256 miners globally competing to satisfy their problem statement, with miner compensation paid by protocol emissions rather than the subnet owner. At current TAO prices, annual incentives across the network run into hundreds of millions; at higher prices, this approaches $1B/year up for grabs.
