Naquele momento, Estados Unidos, China, Índia e outros países enviaram recados a Moscou sobre as consequências de uma escalada nuclear.A análise mostra os possíveis efeitos militares, políticos e econômicos de cada cenário, incluindo uma eventual resposta convencional da OTAN, o isolamento internacional da Rússia, a reação da China e o risco de uma nova corrida nuclear em países como Polônia, Coreia do Sul, Japão e Arábia Saudita.Por fim, discutimos o paradoxo das armas nucleares: enquanto permanecem guardadas, elas funcionam como instrumento de dissuasão. A partir do momento em que são utilizadas, podem provocar uma escalada impossível de controlar.Assista até o final e entenda por que um ataque nuclear poderia transformar a guerra da Ucrânia na maior crise da história.Você já conhece o meu aplicativo?

YC's Nemil Dalal joins to explain why he's never been more bullish as BitMEX winds down after 11 years, whether every failed crypto idea (TCRs, DAOs, creator coins) eventually works, why crypto is really about money, Base's consumer mea culpa, on-chain reputation and credit, and who pays in the x402 AI-agent era. 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. This week they're joined by Nemil Dalal, Visiting Partner at Y Combinator and ex-Coinbase, where he led USDC and the Coinbase Developer Platform. He's here to explain why, with exchanges winding down left and right, he's somehow never been more bullish. The crew digs into the great contrast of the moment: BitMEX shutting down after 11 years (plus BitMart, Movement Labs, Balancer Labs) while the plumbing quietly prints, and whether Imran's viral 'everything that failed will eventually work' thesis is genius or toxic positivity. From there it's the question of whether crypto is really only about money (Jesse's Base mea culpa included), a war-memories tour through TCRs, on-chain reputation and why pure on-chain credit keeps faceplanting, and finally who actually pays in the x402 AI-agent era, and whether decentralization even survives contact with Google-shaped gravity.

 EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with John O'Connor from RealFi to dig into one of the most overlooked problems in crypto , the fact that the $350 billion sitting in stablecoins is doing almost nothing for the people who hold it. Tether and Circle pocket the yield while you hold a digital dollar that just sits there. John walks me through exactly how RealFi flips that model, channeling your stable coins directly into real world credit markets and passing the returns back to you. We talk about USDR and sUSDR, how they manage liquidity risk and redemptions, why DeFi security is an existential threat right now, and why John actually wants RealFi to be called boring. We also get into the future of decentralised neo-banking in emerging markets, what lessons he carried over from his time as the first hire at Cardano, and why product market fit today matters more than a promised roadmap. DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

Neste vídeo, eu explico como a estratégia chinesa pode combinar pressão política, econômica e militar com uma tentativa de destruir a confiança de Taiwan nos Estados Unidos.Também analiso como Donald Trump pode se tornar uma peça central nesse plano. As negociações entre Washington e Pequim, as vendas de armas para Taiwan, o futuro das alianças americanas na Ásia e a possibilidade de uma quarentena marítima fazem parte de uma disputa que pode mudar o equilíbrio de poder no Indo-Pacífico.Eu mostro ainda por que Taiwan é tão importante para a segurança regional, para a produção mundial de semicondutores e para a credibilidade dos Estados Unidos diante de aliados como Japão, Coreia do Sul, Filipinas e Austrália.Talvez a principal pergunta já não seja quando a China vai invadir Taiwan, mas se Xi Jinping conseguirá alcançar seu objetivo sem precisar disparar um único tiro.Você já conhece o meu aplicativo?

Two weeks after launch, 85% of Robinhood Chain's trading is memecoins and just 1% is RWAs.

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.

 EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Wei Zhou, CEO of Coins.ph, to dig into how they're building stablecoin infrastructure that's genuinely changing lives in the Philippines and beyond. Wei walked me through his journey from Goldman Sachs to Binance CFO to buying Coins.ph from Gojek in 2022 and rebuilding it from scratch. We talked about why the Philippines has become a global leader in stablecoin adoption, how they slashed payment fees from 4-8% down to near-zero for Filipino freelancers, and why Wei believes every country needs its own blockchain currency , not just a blockchain dollar. We also got into the Genius Act, the Clarity Act, the upcoming wave of tokenized assets, and what it will take for stablecoins to go truly global. This one is packed with real-world insight from someone actually in the trenches of building payments infrastructure at the intersection of crypto and emerging markets. DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

Matt also covers CleanSpark's $6.6 billion data center lease, Coinbase Ventures remaining the most active crypto investor of 2026, and why stablecoin adoption continues accelerating around the world.The episode also examines the latest fight over the Clarity Act, as banking groups push Congress to block stablecoin rewards while law enforcement throws its support behind the legislation. Matt wraps up with the U.S. government's $288 million crypto transfer to Coinbase Prime, slowing Bitcoin ETF trading volumes, and why Japan continues to focus on building real-world crypto infrastructure while much of the U.S. debate remains centered on regulation.Happy Hodling, Everyone.

Vlad Novakovski, founder and CEO of Lighter, joins Laura Shin to unpack a partnership he says has been building since he and the Robinhood founder were high school classmates. He details a 50/50 revenue split, why USDG as collateral creates friction for market makers, and how a pending CFTC license would cover Robinhood's own front-end too. Novakovski also addresses the crowded field forming around US perps, from Kalshi and Coinbase to Kraken and dYdX, and makes the case that onchain volume keeps gaining share even as crypto native tokens lag real world asset perps. His new seat on the CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee puts him in the room as regulators decide what a DEX has to look like to operate onshore.

This week's Market Friday recap covers IPOs, ADRs, international investing, crypto regulation, geopolitical risk and the continued AI industrial revolution.Our term of the day is IPO, which stands for initial public offering. SK Hynix was already publicly traded in South Korea, but the company completed a massive U.S. public offering of American Depositary Receipts and began trading on the Nasdaq.An ADR, or American Depositary Receipt, is a U.S. traded security that represents shares of a company based outside the United States. ADRs make it easier for American investors to invest in foreign companies through U.S. markets and in U.S. dollars.SK Hynix is one of the largest memory chip companies in the world and a major supplier of the high bandwidth memory needed to power AI data centers. The stock jumped roughly 13% during its first day of U.S. trading, showing just how much investor demand remains for companies connected to the AI buildout.South Korea is also home to major global companies such as Samsung and LG, although not every foreign company is available to U.S. investors through the same ADR structure.International stocks do not always move in the opposite direction of U.S. stocks. However, owning companies across different countries can provide diversification because different economies and markets may lead at different times. International stocks outperformed U.S. stocks during 2025, but during a major global crisis, correlations often increase and markets around the world can fall together.We also explain the Peter Lynch term “ten bagger,” which describes an investment that grows to ten times its original value. Investors who select individual companies are searching for exceptional long term winners, but they also accept greater company specific risk. Investors who purchase an S&P 500 index fund are instead relying on the long term growth of hundreds of major companies without needing to identify the next ten bagger.Circle also received approval to establish a national trust bank. This does not mean Circle is becoming a traditional consumer bank with checking accounts, loans or rewards for depositing crypto. The new bank will initially focus on digital asset custody and strengthening the regulated infrastructure supporting USDC.Finally, we discuss renewed conflict involving the United States and Iran. Markets did react during the week, but they continued to show impressive overall resilience. Investors appear focused on whether the conflict becomes a larger and more lasting economic event, particularly through oil prices, inflation and the Strait of Hormuz.Barring a major escalation in global conflict, 2027 could be an incredible year for businesses, technology and the markets. The AI industrial revolution is no longer something coming in the future. It is already here and happening now.Hosted by James Walters, CIMA®, CRPC®, and Brandon West, CPA, co-owners of West & Walters Tax and Wealth Management, a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) and tax firm based in Carlsbad, California.

In this episode, Scott and the panel discuss the quick downturn in the crypto markets on the news that Iran ceasfire is over. At the same time, the stablecoin competition between USDT and USDC is heating up, with USDC quietly handling a majority of on-chain transactions, a point highlighted by a recent Visa report. As we consider the implications of institutional adoption and the need for clearer regulations, there's a consensus that the upcoming month is crucial for the Clarity Act, which could influence market dynamics significantly. The introduction of innovative privacy solutions, such as those being developed by Zama, promises to enhance confidentiality in on-chain finance, addressing the growing demand for secure transactions. With expectations that on-chain finance may soon encompass trillions, the future of crypto appears poised for a resurgence, especially if institutions can navigate the balance between privacy and compliance effectively.

Podcast Show Notes SummaryAfter returning from a short camping trip, Matt breaks down another volatile day for crypto as Bitcoin slips following renewed tensions in the Middle East after the collapse of the Iran ceasefire. He also covers India's continued push toward stricter crypto policies, Kalshi's latest courtroom loss in New York, and why prediction markets remain caught between financial regulation and gambling laws.The episode also dives into new data showing USDT processed $95 billion in commercial payments during the first half of 2026, while USDT and USDC now account for 83% of the entire stablecoin market. Matt explains why stablecoins are quietly becoming one of the most important pieces of financial infrastructure and why their growth may be a bigger long-term story than Bitcoin's daily price action.Finally, Matt discusses Tom Lee's BitMine purchasing another 40,000 ETH, bringing its holdings close to 5% of Ethereum's circulating supply, and shares his concerns about whether large institutional ownership and Ethereum's move to Proof of Stake could eventually create decentralization issues.Happy Hodling, Everyone.

Een consortium van meer dan 140 bedrijven, waaronder Visa, Mastercard, Google, BlackRock en Coinbase, kondigde eind juni de stablecoin Open USD aan. De munt moet later dit jaar live gaan en de concurrentie aangaan met gevestigde stablecoins als USDC van Circle en USDT van Tether. Wat Open USD anders maakt, is het verdienmodel. Gebruikers kunnen de munt gratis aanmaken en inwisselen, en vrijwel alle inkomsten uit de onderliggende reserves gaan naar de deelnemende bedrijven die volume aanbrengen. Circle en Tether houden dat geld nu juist grotendeels zelf. Daarom wordt Open USD gezien als een aanval op het verdienmodel van Circle, dat een groot deel van zijn omzet haalt uit de reserves achter USDC. De aankondiging kwam hard aan: het aandeel Circle zakte ongeveer 16 procent. Toch zit er een barst in het verhaal. Verschillende bedrijven op de deelnemerslijst, waaronder Samsung en de Zuid-Koreaanse beursuitbater Dunamu, lieten weten dat ze helemaal geen formele afspraken hadden gemaakt en hun naam pas via het nieuws op de lijst zagen verschijnen. Dat voedt de vergelijking met Libra, het gestrande stablecoinproject van Facebook, en de vraag of Open USD de macht van Circle wel kan breken. Bitcoin staat weer op zo'n 63.000 dollar, nadat de koers vorige week een bodem van 58.000 dollar raakte. In diezelfde periode verkocht Strategy 3.588 bitcoin voor ongeveer 216 miljoen dollar, om dividend op zijn schuldpapier te betalen, zonder dat de koers daar serieus op reageerde. De vraag is: hebben we daarmee ook de bodem bereikt? De eerste signalen zijn er. Tot slot een primeur uit de wereld van tokenisatie. Securitize ging deze week naar de New York Stock Exchange en zette tegelijk zijn eigen aandelen onchain op Solana en Avalanche. Daarmee werd het bedrijf het eerste dat bij de beursgang zijn eigen aandelen direct tokeniseerde, en meteen ook het grootste onchain aandeel ter wereld. De tokens vertegenwoordigen dezelfde gewone aandelen als op de beurs, inclusief stemrecht, en vormen geen aparte soort. Wat voegt die tokenisatie toe, en gaan meer bedrijven dit voorbeeld volgen? Co-hosts zijn Bert en Peter Slagter, beiden analist bij kennisplatform Bitcoin Alpha. Over de podcast Cryptocurrency are here to stay.

The crew is joined by Selini Capital's Jordi Alexander to break down Open USD, the no-fee stablecoin from a 140-firm consortium spanning Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, Google and Coinbase, all aimed at the Circle and Tether duopoly. Plus Saylor's new Digital Credit framework for MicroStrategy, the Ansem-fueled memecoin comeback, and ENS reigniting the “DAOs are fake” debate. 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. Joining the panel “at the moment of max pain” is Jordi Alexander, CIO of Selini Capital. First up: MicroStrategy in crisis, with MSTR down about 30% in five days and STRC hitting $71, and Saylor's answer, a new Digital Credit framework with an 18-month cash cushion and a jumbo dividend hike to 12%. Then the headline story, Open USD: a no-fee stablecoin from a 140-member consortium including Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, Google and Coinbase, built to break the Circle and Tether duopoly. The back half covers the memecoin comeback around the Ansem coin, and ENS reigniting the “DAOs are fake” debate after Nick Johnson single-handedly blocked a governance vote, before the crew debates whether consortia are just DAOs in a suit.

Bitcoin rebounds after hitting a fresh 21-month low, below its 200-week moving average — but underneath the panic, whales just made THE LARGEST single Bitcoin accumulation spike EVER recorded on chain: 270,000 BTC scooped up at $59K, bigger than the COVID bottom (150K) and the FTX bottom. Cantor Fitzgerald says the bear market is entering its FINAL stretch, projecting a late October bottom based on historical cycles. Metaplanet added 2,823 BTC to push its stack past 43,000. Robinhood just went 24/5 as DTCC's new 24x5 clearing goes live — Wall Street is officially catching up to crypto's 24/7 reality. Meanwhile the biggest stablecoin launch in history just dropped: 140+ giants — BlackRock, Visa, Stripe, Mastercard, Amex, Google, Coinbase, Ripple — launched Open USD (OUSD), a USDC killer that crashed Circle stock 15% overnight. Add June's brutal Marubozu candle (worst month since June 2022), Fed rate HIKE fears from Kevin Warsh, Strategy's $1.25 BILLION sell authorization, and Trump's disclosed $1.4 BILLION in 2025 crypto earnings blowing up Clarity Act ethics negotiations — and we break down whether smart money just called the bottom, or if this is a whale trap before the next leg lower.

Traditional finance and crypto continue moving closer together as Standard Chartered and Circle launch institutional USDC minting and redemption through the bank's platform, while Anchorage Digital expands support for Ethereum liquid staking. Matt explains why stablecoins are rapidly becoming part of the global banking infrastructure and explores the debate over whether privately issued stablecoins could eventually become a backdoor alternative to central bank digital currencies.The episode also covers Europe's MiCA regulations already undergoing review just days after taking full effect, Australia's expanded crypto travel rule, Bitget's launch of tokenized U.S. stock options, and a troubling rise in crypto-related kidnappings and extortion cases in France. Matt also examines the continued legal battle over prediction markets as Kalshi and Polymarket see record World Cup trading volumes while facing regulatory challenges across multiple U.S. states.Happy Hodling, Everyone.

Bitcoin just cratered to $57K — a fresh 21-month low, the lowest since September 2024 — as the token sliced through its 200-week moving average, historically a signal of prolonged bear markets. Fed rate HIKE fears from Kevin Warsh and mounting concerns over Strategy's new $1.25 BILLION sell authorization are stripping Bitcoin's biggest structural bid, with June ETF outflows now confirmed at a record $6 BILLION. Meanwhile the biggest stablecoin story ever just dropped: 140+ giants — including BlackRock, Visa, Stripe, Mastercard, Amex, Google, Samsung, Shopify, Coinbase, and Ripple — just launched Open USD (OUSD), a USDC killer with zero mint/redeem fees and reserve earnings shared with partners. Stripe's president declared OUSD "the DEFAULT stablecoin for businesses running on Stripe," and Circle stock (CRCL) crashed 15% overnight. Add Trump's disclosed $1.4 BILLION in 2025 crypto earnings blowing up the Clarity Act ethics fight — and we break down whether Bitcoin's bottom is in, or if this is just the start of something much worse.

Every popular stablecoin — Tether, USDC — is ultimately backed by US Treasuries, which means a handful of entities can freeze, seize, or censor your funds at will. In this conversation, David Seroy of Alpen Labs explains to Bitcoin Magazine's Shinobi why a Bitcoin-backed stablecoin is the credible alternative the space has been missing. They cover the immutable Liquity protocol, Bitcoin ZK rollups, and how to mint a dollar that inherits Bitcoin's security.Grab your copy THE 2036 ISSUE

Bitcoin remains under pressure as another $469 million flows out of spot Bitcoin ETFs, pushing cumulative ETF demand to its weakest level since July 2025. Matt breaks down why institutional money continues leaving the market, what it means for Bitcoin's short-term outlook, and why history suggests long-term investors may still want to keep emotions in check despite growing fear.The episode also explores Japan's emergence as a global stablecoin leader, with both Circle's USDC and Ripple's RLUSD expanding into the country's regulated financial system. Matt discusses President Trump's decision to delay signing legislation containing a Federal Reserve CBDC ban, the implications for the Clarity Act, and why stablecoins—not Bitcoin—may ultimately become crypto's biggest real-world success story.Finally, Matt covers new crypto security incidents involving Genesis and Cardano wallets, Jameson Lopp's latest research on preparing Bitcoin for a post-quantum world, Kalshi's reported $40 billion valuation, and reflects on why every major Bitcoin bear market has tested investors' patience before rewarding those willing to think in years instead of weeks.Happy Hodling, Everyone.

Experts break down the risks of emotional investing, Saylor's bold Bitcoin accumulation strategy, and why forced selling fears are overblown given the company's hoard.

Discover why gold's lower volatility complements Bitcoin as a tried-and-true hard asset, offering potentially better loan terms, and how focusing on real value over hype products leads to smarter portfolio decisions in volatile markets.

Can crypto payments, rent rewards, and real estate technology create a new path toward homeownership? In this episode of Grownlearn, host Zorina Dimitrova speaks with Zach Ipour, Co-founder of MegPrime Pay and owner of Megatel Group, about Meg PrimePay, a blockchain-based payment platform designed to let users pay rent and mortgage payments while earning rewards. Zach explains how Meg PrimePay works, how users can pay through the platform, how landlords and payment recipients can receive funds through ACH, and how Make Prime tokens may be used for rewards, cash conversion, crypto conversion, or future home purchases. The conversation explores the housing affordability challenge in the United States, the role of fintech in real estate, and how Megatel Group's background as a home builder and developer shaped the idea behind Meg PrimePay. Zach also discusses the company's SEC non-action relief, the official launch of the platform, U.S. availability, reward mechanics, apartment search support, landlord partnerships, and how renters may accumulate rewards that could later support a home purchase. This episode is for listeners interested in fintech, Web3 payments, crypto adoption, real estate innovation, blockchain payments, housing affordability, rent rewards, mortgage payments, and the future of homeownership. Topics include Meg PrimePay, Zach Ipour, Make Prime token, crypto rent payments, mortgage payments with crypto, real estate fintech, Web3 payments, blockchain technology, homeownership rewards, rent rewards, housing affordability, digital currency, USDC, ACH payments, and fintech innovation.

Circle froze $12M in a DeFi pool on a Friday court order, trapping users who had nothing to do with the dispute. . Polymarket couldn't resolve a Strategy market. And MegaETH's apps are defecting. Nothing is simple. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsors!

It just didn't disclose it until June 1 — and that one-day gap is why a $50M Polymarket market resolved "no," even though Strategy's own 8-K shows the sale happened inside the window.Kain Warwick, Luca Netz, and Taylor Monahan trace why Polymarket keeps writing resolution criteria that break under edge cases, and why handing oracle duties to UMA is a liability for a $20 billion platform. They also get into the third proposal to cut Solana's staking inflation, and what it would take to spark an "ultrasound money" moment for SOL. The most consequential story is Circle. A Friday-afternoon ex-parte court order froze a $12M commingled USDC pool all weekend, trapping innocent users' funds inside the Zama privacy protocol. Taylor's warning: Circle's policy of complying with any court order without retaining a final say creates a replicable attack template for any pool with USDC exposure. The episode closes on MegaETH and Monad: Kain on whether the "Mega Mafia" approach was adverse selection from the start, and Luca on what chains actually owe their builders.
