This week on the Payne Points of Wealth, Bob, Ryan, and Chris dive into Trump's reign of tariffs, unpacking the economic ripple effects of his aggressive import tax strategy.

In this episode, PhD Economist Jens Nordvig breaks down the evolving macro environment marked by waning Fed independence, shifting capital flows, and a weakening U.S. dollar. He explains how tariff shocks, long-end bond dynamics, and geopolitical tensions are reshaping global investment behavior and challenging the traditional safe-haven role of U.S. assets. Jens also outlines the structural phases of de-dollarization, central bank reserve diversification, and how these factors may signal a long-term dollar downtrend.

In this episode of the 2Tokens Podcast, Alex Bausch is joined by Pascal de Keyser, founder of Portio, and Jonny Fry, founder of Team Blockchain, to delve into the future of real estate through the lens of blockchain, tokenization, and co-living.With rising urban loneliness and the lack of accessible housing, Pascal introduces co-living as a community-centric, flexible alternative to traditional rentals. From entrepreneurs to seniors, co-living is gaining traction across Europe and beyond, offering a shared space model that blends private accommodation with communal amenities like lounges, co-working spaces, and gyms.What makes this unique is the exploration of how tokenization can transform renters into co-owners, giving them a stake in both the rental income and long-term value appreciation of the property they live in. Pascal explains Portio's rent-to-own model, which allows renters and external investors to acquire fractional ownership through low-cost tokens (starting at €40). These tokens are issued via a securitized vehicle in Luxembourg and are built on the Ethereum blockchain, allowing for high transparency, fractionalization, and potential liquidity through secondary markets.The conversation also covers:The regulatory landscape, including how Pascal's structure currently operates under Luxembourg's securitization law and plans to evolve under MiFID II or MiCAR as the platform scales.How co-living differs from traditional short-term rentals or Airbnb models.Plans to expand beyond Andorra to locations in Spain, Portugal, and Italy — especially cities like Valencia, Barcelona, and Lisbon.The role of stablecoins (like USDC) in enabling liquidity and future DeFi integrations such as staking, lending, and collateralization.The technological partnership with Blocksquare and the development of a marketplace for property token trading.This episode offers a fascinating look at a real-world asset use case already coming to life in Europe. Participants:Pascal de Keyser: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pascal-de-keyser-121084219/Alex Bausch: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexbausch/Jonny Fry: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonnyfry/Do you want to join one of the use cases?

Caleb Franzen, founder of Cubic Analytics, joined me to review his outlook and price predictions for Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and the Altcoin market.https://x.com/CalebFranzenhttps://cubicanalytics.substack.com/Show Sponsor -

Bitcoin verbrak dit weekend de grens van 120.000 dollar. Volgens Bert Slagter gaat het dit keer om een échte uitbraak, waarbij technische en fundamentele indicatoren elkaar versterken. De situatie is dan ook wezenlijk anders dan de 'toppen' in december en januari, waarbij bitcoin steeds nét onder de koers van 110.000 dollar strandde. Toch is er in euro’s nog geen record gebroken. De reden daarvoor ligt in de wisselkoers tussen dollar en euro, die de vergelijking met eerdere pieken vertroebelt. Ripple’s eigen stablecoin RLUSD groeit ondertussen in rap tempo. De munt, die nog geen jaar oud is, heeft inmiddels een marktwaarde van meer dan 500 miljoen dollar bereikt en staat daarmee in de top tien van stablecoins. Dat wil overigens nog niet zeggen dat de RLUSD in de buurt komt van grootheden USDT en USDC, die meer dan 90% van de markt voor stablecoins in handen hebben. De snelle opmars komt deels door de bestaande infrastructuur van Ripple en de actieve integratie in partnersystemen. RLUSD onderscheidt zich van concurrenten als USDT en USDC door een nauwe koppeling aan Ripple’s betalingsnetwerk. De samenwerking met fintech-provider Transak geeft RLUSD bovendien toegang tot duizenden gebruikers wereldwijd. Ripple’s recente aanvraag voor een bankvergunning past in de bredere strategie om een brug te vormen tussen traditionele financiële instellingen en de cryptowereld. In Washington D.C. is het deze week ‘Cryptoweek’. Drie wetsvoorstellen staan op de agenda van het Congres: de GENIUS Act, de CLARITY Act en de ANTI-CBDC Act. Samen moeten ze het wettelijke kader voor crypto in de VS moderniseren. De toon van de wetten is overwegend crypto0vriendelijk: bescherming van innovatie staat voorop. De invloed van Donald Trump is duidelijk merkbaar in de koers van de Republikeinse partij. Volgens voorstanders kunnen de wetten ervoor zorgen dat de VS hét centrum van de wereldwijde crypto-industrie wordt. De sector reageert positief, maar houdt een slag om de arm. Of deze week het begin markeert van een nieuwe fase voor crypto, hangt af van de uitkomst van de stemmingen — én van de politieke dynamiek in aanloop naar de verkiezingen.

Previously worked at Google Cloud before founding Redstone in 2020.The Oracle Infrastructure RevolutionRedstone's Modular Architecture Redstone built a fundamentally different oracle system designed for scalability from day one.

In today's episode of iGaming Daily, Jessica Welman, Managing Editor at SBC Media is joined by Chelsie Cooper, CEO of Approvely, for an eye-opening deep dive into the realities of the US online gaming ecosystem. Sponsored by Optimove, this episode challenges long-held assumptions about regulated verses unregulated verticals and the evolving role of digital currencies in gaming transactions. Chelsie breaks down how Approvely uses stablecoins, not as a player-facing crypto requirement, but as a backend utility to enable ultra-fast card transaction settlements. The conversation also explores self-regulation in unregulated verticals like sweeps and DFS, where operators are quietly maintaining rigorous KYC/KYB protocols, geo-fencing, and real-time compliance oversight, dispelling the outdated "Wild West" narrative.Finally, the two expose the often-overlooked cost burden of payment processing for online gaming operators, ranging from 7% to 14%. Chelsie shares how fraud models and tools to predict and prevent chargebacks before they occur, offering guaranteed settlements and boosting liquidity.

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?

This week, Fil and Pedro explore whether stablecoins like USDC are set to revolutionize the financial world following Circle's explosive IPO and stock surge. They explain what stablecoins are, how they're different from other cryptocurrencies, and why regulations like the GENIUS Act are driving their momentum. Plus, they share how you can get involved in this growing space.

Stripe has established itself as a leading payment solution for both enterprises as well as startups and individual sellers. By abstracting away all the complexities of traditional payment rails through simple plug-and-play APIs, Stripe created a facile route for cross-border payments, simplifying e-commerce. Similarly, Stripe's recent integration of stablecoins could further bolster the adoption of decentralised payment solutions, be them USD or other currency proxies. This allows businesses to reach more markets, at a lower cost, with near-instantaneous settlement.Topics covered in this episode:John's backgroundStripe's missionHow Stripe solves the complexity of internet paymentsIntegrating crypto for paymentsSupported blockchainsStripe's Web3 servicesUpsides of accepting stablecoin paymentsNon-USD stablecoinsMerchant UXExpanding crypto support outside the U.S.On- and off-rampingAcquiring Bridge and PrivyThe best of both worlds: CeFi & DeFiEpisode links:John Egan on XStripe on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

美國史上第一部穩定幣法案，最近在參議院正式通過。一通過，Circle 股價直接從 $31 飆到 $242，暴漲超過八倍。這不只象徵美國從打壓轉向擁抱加密貨幣，更讓一個人合法暴賺——川普。因為這條法案明文寫著：禁止官員持有或經營穩定幣，但總統、副總統除外。沒錯，川普家族最近推出的穩定幣 USD1，才剛透過阿布達比主權基金，完成 20 億美金的大交易。而真正賺最多利息的，可能還不是 Circle，而是背後坐收分潤的 Coinbase。這集我們就來聊聊：

Discover details about the Circle IPO. Are you investing well for financial freedom...or not? Financial freedom is a combination of money, compounding and time (my McT Formula). How well you invest, makes a huge difference to your financial future and lifestyle. If you only knew where to invest for the long-term, what a difference it would make, because the difference between investing $100k and earning 5 percent or 10 percent on your money over 30 years, is the difference between it growing to $432,194 or $1,744,940, an increase of over $1.3 million dollars. Your compounding rate, and how well you invest, matters!  INTERESTED IN THE BE WEALTHY & SMART VIP EXPERIENCE? - Invest in stock ETFs, private equity and digital assets for potential high compounding rates - Asset allocation model with ticker symbols and % to invest -Monthly LIVE investment webinars with Linda, with Q & A -Private VIP Facebook group with daily interaction -Weekly investment commentary from Linda -Optional 1-on-1 tech team support for digital assets -Join, pay once, have lifetime access!
