Crypto has spent years obsessing over tokens, airdrops, and speculation. But what about the unsexy businesses actually making money? Arthur Hayes and Adam Schlegel join Laura Shin to talk about Maelstrom's $250M private equity fund targeting crypto's most profitable, yet overlooked, companies, $50M revenue businesses with 50% margins that VCs can't touch and exchanges won't pay cash for. But while everyone frames this as just another fund, Hayes and Schlegel argue it's actually the missing piece in crypto's maturation: a cash buyer for founders who've done their time and want out without four-year earnouts. Plus: Why Asian crypto companies with monster margins get ignored by Western capital. Thank you to our sponsors!

In this episode, ARK's Cathie Wood and Brett Winton sit down with Tom Lee — co-founder of Fundstrat Global Advisors and chairman of BitMine Immersion Technologies — to explore the rising influence of Ethereum as a financial infrastructure layer. Tom shares how BitMine transformed into the largest corporate holder of Ethereum globally, and why digital asset treasury companies DATs could serve as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralized networks.The conversation covers Ethereum's “ChatGPT moment,” the regulatory unlock of 2025, and why institutional investors may prefer equity-wrapped crypto exposure. Tom also lays out a bold vision in which Ethereum surpasses Bitcoin in market cap and becomes the financial internet's base layer — absorbing everything from stablecoins and tokenized assets to staking, liquidity backstops, and even prediction markets.The trio also examines risk dynamics, corporate strategy, and the architectural differences between proof-of-work and proof-of-stake systems as Wall Street starts to build on-chain.Key Points From This Episode:00:00:00 How BitMine evolved from a small miner into the largest Ethereum-holding DAT.00:03:00 Why BitMine's ETH per share jumped 9x in 8 weeks — and what's next.00:06:30 Why DATs exist at all — and why they're crucial for institutional access.00:08:05 Ethereum's “ChatGPT moment”: Stablecoins as breakout crypto products.00:10:29 How BitMine solved a regulatory bottleneck for ARK's crypto exposure.00:14:54 The flippage theory: Why Tom believes ETH will surpass Bitcoin.00:19:34 Proof-of-stake vs. proof-of-work: Comparing network resilience and incentives.00:24:06 Targeting 5% of ETH supply: How much is too much for a DAT?00:28:48 How BitMine is like a “reverse bank” — and why that earns it a NAV premium.00:33:16 What could dethrone BitMine's lead? The tech risk and Solana wildcard.00:38:47 Ethereum can't hold everything: Why multiple chains will exist.00:50:27 How tokenization unlocks transparency, pricing, and global efficiency.00:54:03 Tom's 2030 forecast: Ethereum at $60K and digital treasuries worth $5T.
Tom Lee and Arthur Hayes map how crypto is flipping Wall Street: BTC at fresh highs, ETH's comeback, and a surge of institutional capital, tokenization, and stablecoin rails. Tom lays out Bitmine's big ETH accumulation and bold targets (BTC $200–250k, ETH $10–12k), while Arthur dives into cycles, liquidity, why perps outshine leveraged ETFs, and the looming clash between prediction markets and TradFi. Plus: banks turning into on-chain tech companies and what Tether's rise signals for the new banking stack.

Arthur Hayes & Tom Lee map the new crypto arms race—Hyperliquid vs Aster, Plasma's stablecoin rails, and ETH's DAT-fueled supercycle. Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. Live at Token2049 Singapore, we're joined by Arthur Hayes (Maelstrom) and Tom Lee (Bitmine) to map two battles shaping the next cycle: the Perp DEX war—Hyperliquid's moat vs. CZ-linked Aster, zero-fee experiments like Lighter, and whether ~$500M/year token unlocks can stay “bullish”—and the race to own stablecoin rails, from Tether-affiliated Plasma's zero-fee USDT chain to distribution plays like Tempo and Codex. We dig into DATs, mNAV compression, and Tom's “ETH supercycle,” plus prediction markets (Polymarket vs. Kalshi) crossing into the mainstream and a surprise Zcash revival. If crypto's future is being decided in trading venues and in money itself, this is where the battle lines get drawn. Show highlights
In this week's Weekly Rollup, Uptober kicks off with Bitcoin and Ethereum surging toward all-time highs as Tom Lee drops another $1B into ETH and Vanguard finally opens its doors to crypto ETFs. We cover Stripe's push to break the Tether–Circle duopoly with its new stablecoin platform, Cloudflare's surprising entry into onchain payments, and Swift teaming up with Consensys on blockchain rails. Plus, Zcash rockets 200%, Ethereum's Lighter perps exchange goes live, and Circle sparks debate with plans for reversible USDC. ---
