Crypto News: Bitcoin printed its highest weekly close in 4 months and reclaimed the 50-week MA for the first time since Nov 2025. XRP on the brink of a golden cross as focus switches to altcoins. Ava Labs president says NYSE spent a year testing Avalanche Avax technology for tokenization plans.
On today's episode, the Fearsome Threesome opens with Glenn's Cyber Beast taking a flying fender on I-20, then Mark hits the board with gerontocracy, Clarity Act drama, the ARMA Bitcoin-buy idea, AI guardrails, and whether AGI already showed up at Jensen's party. James walks through real AI agents in a law office—and what happens when your bots start looping each other into a token bill—then deep-dives Elon's factory rethink and the quiet Optimus tease. David phones in for Technology Thursday crypto: why Clarity looked like theater, why XRP already has a clearer lane, Russia/BRICS noise, fee rails vs banks, and Mark vs David on whether Bitcoin dips before it runs. They wander into medical tourism, AI-apocalypse movie night, Anthropic's “profitable” math, SpaceX dogfooding, and a late Kiffin/NCAA/NIL sports spiral before Glenn sends you to PJ's in Haughton for the Maple Street blend. Don't miss it!
Democrats blocked the CLARITY Act, leaving the United States without the digital asset framework the crypto industry spent years fighting to secure. Now, some of the senators responsible cannot clearly explain why they voted against it. But XRP isn't waiting for Washington. While Congress fails to deliver clarity, XRP and RLUSD are moving deeper into the infrastructure being built for AI-powered commerce, open wallets and machine payments. We break down who stopped the CLARITY Act, what happens next and why the financial system continues building around XRP. We also cover Ripple Swell 2026, the XRPL AI Starter Kit, the critical D'CENT security warning and the growing battle over AI.

De cryptomarkt zakte deze week duidelijk terug. Bitcoin noteert rond de 76.500 dollar, vorige week schurkte de koers nog tegen de 80.000 dollar aan. XRP verloor 10 procent, en cryptoaandelen als Coinbase en Circle leverden ongeveer evenveel in. De renteverhoging van de Federal Reserve speelt mee, maar de duidelijkste aanleiding is het nieuws rond de Clarity Act. Die wet sneuvelde dinsdagavond Nederlandse tijd in de Senaat. Er werd gestemd over de vraag of er verder gepraat mocht worden, en 50 van de 99 aanwezige senatoren stemden tegen. Daarmee is het voorlopig einde oefening voor een wet die moest vastleggen welke toezichthouder hoofdverantwoordelijk is en welke assets een cryptobedrijf mag aanbieden. Het liep vast op Donald Trump zelf. De ethiekparagraaf ging vooral over zijn eigen cryptoactiviteiten: hij verdiende vorig jaar 1,5 miljard dollar met een memecoin, aandelen in cryptobedrijven en eigen NFT's. Over die paragraaf was overeenstemming, maar niet over wie erop toe moest zien. In de laatste versie werd dat het Amerikaanse ministerie van justitie, en dat vertrouwden de onderhandelende democraten niet. Met de midterms in zicht is de kans klein dat de wet snel terugkomt. Die midterms worden het volgende strijdtoneel van de cryptolobby. In 2024 was de sector met 130 miljoen dollar de grootste donateur, eind juni stond de teller voor deze verkiezingen al op 189 miljoen dollar. Dat geld gaat vooral naar nieuwe democratische bondgenoten en naar het wegwerken van cryptokritische congresleden. Super PAC Fairshake wint meer dan 90 procent van de races die zij steunt. Maine en Georgia zijn de races om te volgen. Tot slot een brief die via het Amerikaanse ministerie van justitie openbaar werd. Daarin raden de Al Qassam brigades, de militaire tak van Hamas, donateurs aan om Binance te mijden en in plaats daarvan ByBit of OKX te gebruiken. Binance heeft geen vergunning onder de Europese cryptowet, ByBit en OKX wel. Het gaat om losse Europese entiteiten, maar het zegt iets over de bedrijfsvoering van de moederorganisaties. Deze week in de Cryptocast Een gesprek met de Financial Intelligence Unit, de FIU, en dat is de opsporingsdienst die kijkt naar ongebruikelijke transacties bij banken en cryptobedrijven. Rebecca van Essen legt co-host Mauro Halve en Daniël Mol uit hoe ze transacties kunnen volgen en dat een spoor soms helemaal tot in de Seychellen loopt. En verrassend genoeg zit daar OOK een FIU!

Crypto News: The Senate failed to advance the Clarity Act, a landmark crypto market structure bill. The vote was 49-50, with three Republicans and all Democrats voting against. Will Bitcoin and crypto crash as a result with potential rate hikes from the Fed?
Bill Ulivieri of Cenacle Capital Management returns to The Crypto Rundown — and after calling the Bitcoin bottom on his last appearance, he's feeling even more bullish about what comes next. Mark Longo and Bill explore why Bitcoin could be sitting on a "coiled spring of energy," the latest action in IBIT and MSTR options, and whether Strategy still has more room to run. They also dig into the outlook for Ethereum, Solana and XRP, the surprising rise of Zcash, and the latest activity in ETHA, BMNR, Circle and PURR. Plus, Bill explains why the convergence of crypto, blockchain and agentic AI could dramatically reshape trading, and highlights Arbitrum and Uniswap as two names worth watching as Robinhood pushes deeper into blockchain and DeFi.
As the Senate readies to vote on the Clarity Act, Evernorth CEO Asheesh Birla discusses what the "monumental" day means for crypto's forward momentum. Once the bill passes, he sees institutional investments in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies accelerating rapidly. If it doesn't, Asheesh worries the U.S. will fall behind as other countries building policies on crypto adoption. He also explains what makes XRP different from Bitcoin. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
This project just announced one of the most significant partnerships of 2026. The institutions have arrived in crypto, and this company looks to be only of the few candidates to actually facilitate the onboarding of billions of dollars of capital. The last coins to have news this big were XRP and ONDO, and as of today this token is still a small-cap.
Something much bigger is being built around XRP, and the pieces are getting harder to ignore. RLUSD is expanding its liquidity and distribution through Spark's Stablecoin FX Layer. At the same time, the XRP Ledger Foundation is talking openly about writing TradFi primitives directly into the XRPL, including lending, infrastructure and agentic payments. Flare is experimenting with new ways to generate XRP rewards. Canton continues advancing institutional settlement infrastructure. And while all of this is happening, another XRPL project bites the dust. Then Washington enters a critical week for crypto as the CLARITY Act heads toward a major Senate vote. And we're going around the world: Trump in Ireland, the growing conversation around a reunited Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland challenging the future of the UK, Putin warning about Europe and Russia, and Trump declaring that whoever wins the AI race wins. The financial system is changing. The infrastructure is being built. And XRP keeps showing up in places that matter. At some point you have to ask: What are they building... and why does XRP keep ending up in the middle of it?
XRP may be becoming the key to something much bigger than payments. Ripple is challenging the idea that every regulated stablecoin is created equal. A money transmitter license, state trust charter, and federal prudential supervision each carry different reserve requirements, verification standards, and consequences if an issuer fails. As stablecoins become part of the financial system, the level of regulatory oversight behind them could determine which assets institutions are willing to trust. Clearpool is also expanding to the XRP Ledger, bringing institutional-ready credit and lending infrastructure directly to XRPL. The proposal includes migrating from CPOOL to CLEAR and recapitalizing the treasury to fund incentives, adoption, and the platform's next phase of growth. Institutional credit remains largely untapped on XRPL, but Clearpool believes the opportunity is massive. At the same time, RippleX is working with Common Prefix to formally verify the XRP Ledger. This effort goes directly to the reliability and security institutions require before moving serious financial activity onchain. We are also looking at the XRPL validation stream, where UNL validators vote on the same ledger hash until consensus is reached and the ledger sequence advances. Ripple Treasury is pushing even deeper into the Office of the CFO with GSmart and what Ripple describes as Treasury-Native AI. Instead of placing AI beside treasury operations, Ripple is embedding intelligence directly into existing financial policies, data, workflows, and deterministic financial logic while keeping people responsible for the final decisions. Solana is also developing confidential transfers and batch functionality, reinforcing the institutional demand for privacy, scale, and controlled financial operations on public blockchain infrastructure. Tonight, Chip and Jeff connect all of it. Regulated stablecoins. Institutional credit. Formal verification. Treasury-native AI. Confidential transfers. Batch transactions. These are not isolated developments. They are pieces of the financial infrastructure being built for the next era of money.

On today's episode, Technology Thursday brings the all-star cast — James, Mark from San Antonio, David on the phone, Glenn, and Dwayne — for crypto first: Bitcoin net inflows vs XRP's bank-rail story, the Clarity Act that may not even get a vote, BIS cozy talk, short-term dips (BTC ~$77k / XRP ~$1.37) with long-term hold-hold-hold, Cramer selling on quantum fear, and phishing that empties Robinhood accounts. They bounce to Cybercab fleets hitting 420 in Texas, Starbase Louisiana launch deals, and Dwayne's call that 2027 is Louisiana's autonomous year (semis already legal since 2019; NOLA Waymos testing now), then Meta's hundreds of AI "nudify" / child-abuse ads, Flock cameras that shouldn't be probable cause alone, people confessing darkest secrets to ChatGPT, and kids bonding with future robot nannies. NCAA drama — LSU, Kiffin, and an impotent NCAA losing mid-major money — plus Mark's Louisiana-population-doubles-in-20-years bet, an Anthropic researcher quitting over recursive extinction odds, and Dwayne's clean Bitcoin miners-vs-nodes primer.

Crypto News: The Bank for International Settlements publishes a paper using the XRP Ledger as a proof-of-concept for verifying official statistics on-chain. U.S. Sheriff's association shifts opposition stance to Clarity Act to 'neutral'. Alex Jones says the US government wants to confiscate XRP.
They keep choosing XRP—and at this point, it's getting harder to call it a coincidence. Brad Garlinghouse is inside the room as America pushes to become the crypto capital of the world. The Bank for International Settlements tested the XRP Ledger in a proof of concept for verifying official economic data. AI agents are already using XRP and RLUSD to purchase intelligence, research, forecasts, and digital services. Now the Florida Gators are putting XRP directly on the field at the Swamp. Different players. Different objectives. The same ledger keeps showing up. Meanwhile, a central bank spent months repositioning $11 billion in gold, Congress is walking away for the final two weeks of September, and the attacks against XRP are getting louder. Is this simply a collection of unrelated headlines—or are governments, institutions, developers, and major brands revealing what comes next before the market is ready to see it? Jeff and Chip connect the dots on XRP, Ripple, the BIS, AI-agent payments, RLUSD, American crypto policy, the Florida Gators partnership, and the growing backlash surrounding XRP. Drop your answer in the comments: Which signal matters most—the BIS, AI-agent payments, the White House, or XRP entering mainstream sports?

Crypto News: SEC proposes transfer agent rule, sets event to figure out round-the-clock U.S. trading. XRP ETFs pull in $170 million over 11 days. Goldman tops institutional holders. 21 major global banks including Bank of America, Citi, GoldmanSachs, DeutscheBank, and UBS, just committed to launching a joint stablecoin company, targeting a USD-denominated stablecoin to go live in H1 2027.
XRP is getting harder to dismiss. We're breaking down why the story around XRP is getting much bigger than payments alone. The onchain economy is accelerating. Institutional settlement is moving toward 24/7. Cross-border costs are collapsing. Credit and lending infrastructure is being built directly into the XRP Ledger. Batch transactions are getting security audits. Developers are being pushed toward XLS-65 and XLS-66. And the Bitwise XRP ETF has now crossed $500 million in assets under management. This is no longer one isolated XRP headline. The infrastructure is stacking. Payments. Tokenization. Trading. Lending. Credit. Institutional access. And the bigger that stack gets, the harder XRP becomes to ignore. Chip and Jeff break down: • Why Uphold says the new financial system is moving onchain • Why XRP and XRPL keep showing up in the institutional conversation • The new XRPL credit and lending rail • XLS-65 and XLS-66 • The upcoming XRPL lending hackathon • The latest Batch Transactions security audit • The Bitwise XRP ETF crossing $500M AUM • What all of this could mean for XRP adoption • Plus tonight's biggest geopolitical stories from the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and beyond This one goes much deeper than price. The question is no longer whether XRP has a use case. The question is how much of the next financial system gets built around the rails XRP was designed to use.
Ripple's financial ecosystem is expanding fast — and the XRP Ledger is moving deeper into the infrastructure that could power the next generation of lending, liquidity, payments and institutional finance. Tonight, Chip and Jeff break down Ripple's Lending Protocol V1.1 security review, Single Asset Vaults on XRPL, and how Ripple Custody, RLUSD, Ripple Payments, Ripple Prime and the XRP Ledger are starting to connect into something much bigger. We also get into what this means for XRP utility, institutional adoption, tokenized assets, settlement, liquidity and the future of finance. Then we shift into GEOPOLITICS and AROUND THE WORLD — Trump, Fetterman, universal healthcare, immigration, Buc-ee's, Canada vs. Trump, Lake America, Mark Carney, Doug Ford, France and more. TOPICS COVERED • Ripple Lending Protocol V1.1 • Sherlock AI security review • XRPL Single Asset Vaults – XLS-65 • Ripple Custody • RLUSD • Ripple Payments • Ripple Prime • XRP Ledger tokenization • Institutional lending and liquidity • XRP utility and adoption • Trump and John Fetterman • Universal healthcare • Immigration • Buc-ee's • Canada vs. Trump • Lake America • Mark Carney and Doug Ford • France politics

Ripple is moving deeper into institutional finance — and the window for XRP may be getting smaller. Ripple Prime now has more than $1 BILLION in regulatory net capital, 24/7 cross-margining, and a growing bridge between digital assets and traditional markets. What happens when the infrastructure gets built before the market fully understands what's happening? We're digging into: ⚡ Ripple Prime's expansion across equities and digital assets ⚡ More than $1B in regulatory net capital ⚡ 24/7 institutional cross-margining ⚡ What prime brokerage looks like in the digital asset era ⚡ Ripple's continued push into global payments ⚡ David Schwartz on how quickly transformative technology can accelerate ⚡ The latest geopolitical noise out of Washington ⚡ And what all of this could mean for XRP The infrastructure is being built. The institutions are moving. And the window may be closing faster than people realize. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SUPPORT ON THE CHAIN ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ☕ BADASSERY COFFEE Fuel your day with Badassery Coffee: https://badasserycoffee.com
Crypto News: Charles Schwab adds altcoins Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink to nascent crypto platform. XRP treasury firm Evernorth said its SEC Form S-4 related to its business combination with Armada is now effective, allowing progress toward a Nasdaq listing. UK to formally order Bank of England to advance stablecoin and digital money innovation.
Ripple's next chapter may not be about payments—or even XRP price. A new institutional lending model being built on the XRP Ledger could allow businesses to borrow based on creditworthiness rather than locking up excessive collateral, with RLUSD serving as the money moving through the system. In this episode of The Chip Mahoney Show, I look at why this matters, how institutional borrowers can put capital to work and repay it with interest, and why the most interesting part of Ripple's move may be the infrastructure being assembled behind the scenes. The bigger question: If institutional credit moves onchain, who captures the value from making it work? Where do you stand? Most crypto investors know what they own.

On today's episode, Mark Lagrone sits in from San Antonio and David calls in from South Dakota State as the futurists work through Starbase Louisiana, crypto, and AI jobs. The panel maps a 3,000-job spaceport on the Vermilion coast, a trades boom across five states, and whether 30 launches a day become as boring as jets. Mark walks Bitcoin off the $80K shelf, the Clarity Act, and XRP as bank rails, James buys a thousand dollars of XRP on the air, and Mark becomes a whole-coiner before he has to leave. David takes the second half into NCAA eligibility and the transfer portal, then the group lands on Tesla FSD near-misses and a file-clerk job a Grok bot retired in half a day.

The financial system is moving fast — and XRP keeps showing up exactly where the next phase of money is being built. Mastercard is sponsoring the XRP Ledger Hackathon in New York just ahead of Ripple Swell. At the same time, 39 U.S. state banking associations are launching the BankChain Alliance to explore tokenized deposits, stablecoins, and smart payments. Crypto-backed mortgages are moving into the mainstream. AI-driven finance is expanding on XRPL. Hedera is pushing blockchain directly into AI development tools. And Michael Saylor is still stacking Bitcoin at a scale almost nobody else can match. These are not isolated headlines. They point to the same thing: The line between traditional finance and digital assets is disappearing. And if XRP is already positioned inside the rails being built for payments, tokenization, stablecoins, and agentic finance... there may be NO GOING BACK. Tonight on On The Chain, Jeff and Chip break down: • Mastercard's move into the XRP Ledger ecosystem • Why the XRPL Hackathon ahead of Ripple Swell matters • 39 state banking associations building blockchain infrastructure • Tokenized deposits, stablecoins, and smart payments • Crypto-backed mortgages moving into traditional finance • The rise of agentic finance on XRPL • Hedera, AI tools, and the emerging machine economy • Michael Saylor's latest Bitcoin move • What all of this could mean for XRP and the broader crypto market SUPPORT ON THE CHAIN ☕ Badassery Coffee https://badasserycoffee.com

Was this the greatest week in crypto history? On this episode of The Crypto Rundown, host Mark Longo is joined by Pat Wood, President and CEO of DelphX Capital Markets, to break down an explosive week across the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin comes roaring back with a massive rally and surging ETF inflows, while activity and volatility heat up in IBIT and MSTR. We examine what the move means for Bitcoin traders, whether this rally has staying power, and why Pat believes the next generation of digital asset treasuries needs to think beyond simply buying and holding. Then we venture into the Altcoin Universe, where the rally is spreading fast. Ethereum finally wakes up, Solana shows signs of life, XRP surges, and HYPE/Hyperliquid continues to generate serious buzz. We also examine the wild options activity in ETHA, BMNR, Circle (CRCL), and PUR, including the rush for upside exposure as crypto traders embrace the rally. Plus, we discuss: Bitcoin's monster weekly rally and whether it can continue The resurgence in IBIT options volume and volatility MSTR, Michael Saylor and the future of digital asset treasury strategies Using covered calls and collars in crypto Ethereum's dramatic comeback The latest action in Solana, XRP, Dogecoin and other altcoins The growing excitement surrounding Hyperliquid and HYPE Why crypto market structure may be entering a new phase
Bitcoin is pushing against the $80,000 barrier after one of its strongest weeks in months, driven by improving Treasury-market liquidity, nearly $2 billion in Bitcoin ETF inflows, short liquidations, and a fresh wave of FOMO. Matt explains why $80K could be difficult to break and hold as investors who bought at higher prices finally get a chance to exit, while $90K and $100K could create even larger psychological barriers. The episode also covers the CLARITY Act as a potential September catalyst, Strategy raising roughly $2 billion without buying more Bitcoin, Circle and the continued explosion of stablecoin activity, and huge weekly gains across XRP, Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, and Dogecoin. With the Fear & Greed Index already at 81, Matt remains cautious and says Bitcoin needs to break $80K and hold it before the conversation moves seriously toward $90K and beyond. Happy HODLing.

Brian Wiley and Alexandra Lundgren are joined by Eric Sterner, Chief Investment Officer at Apollon Wealth Management, for an extended conversation on portfolio strategy and where he sees opportunities developing across the investment landscape. Eric discusses why the AI investment story extends well beyond technology stocks, with potential beneficiaries across healthcare, utilities, industrials, materials and the infrastructure needed to support continued AI growth. The conversation also explores healthcare and biotech, portfolio diversification, private equity and private credit, and the tradeoffs investors should understand before allocating money to alternative investments. A listener considering SpaceX and XRP brings the discussion back to fundamentals: building emergency savings, using diversified investments as a foundation, and keeping speculative investments in perspective. The final hour shifts to insurance and risk management, including term versus permanent life insurance, IULs, annuities, long-term care and disability coverage, and what an insurance company's "guarantee" actually means.

Now is the time. In this episode we talk about the greatest generational wealth transfer happening right now, why a K shaped economy means you have to be intentional about which side you land on, and why I believe XRP deserves a serious look as part of that conversation. We cover Brad Garlinghouse's appearance at the August 19th White House crypto summit, Ripple's real cross-border partnership with SBI Holdings in Japan, a six-year data comparison of XRP versus the S&P 500 since January 2020, and the full picture of Proverbs 13:22, wealth stored up for the righteous. We close with the story of David Green, who turned a six hundred dollar loan into Hobby Lobby, a multi-billion dollar company, while giving half of its earnings to kingdom work, a picture of what it looks like to build wealth for God's purposes and not your own. This is not financial advice, this is a faith and mindset conversation.

XRP just crossed a line — and there may be no going back. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse joined the inaugural CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee alongside some of the biggest names in traditional finance — Nasdaq, CME Group, CBOE, NYSE, DTCC and more. For years, crypto fought to get a seat at the table. Now Wall Street, Washington and crypto are sitting in the same room. Meanwhile, millions of Americans own crypto, crypto-related economic activity continues to grow, and the line between traditional finance and digital assets is getting harder to see. Tonight, we break down what this shift could mean for XRP, Ripple and the future of crypto. PLUS — we get into the latest political and geopolitical stories, including the battle brewing in Seattle, Florida's dramatic political shift, U.S.–Canada trade negotiations and more.
I owned XRP before most people had heard of it. I watched the price go up. Then I watched it collapse when the founders sold their tokens on the open market. This is that story.In this episode you will discover:Why XRP is not decentralised, not scarce, and controlled by a company called Ripple Labs that has sold billions of tokens to fund its own marketing campaignsWhy the SEC called XRP an unregistered security, took Ripple to court, and even after dropping the case still extracted a $50 million fine and what that tells you about what XRP actually isWhy Ripple deleted the first 32,000 blocks of its own transaction history and why that single fact should tell you everything you need to know about how transparent this project actually isI built a free calculator that shows exactly what consistent monthly Bitcoin investing could do to your wealth over 5, 10 or 20 years.

Is the market finally reacting to infrastructure that has been building for years?

Crypto News: Bitcoin pumps to $70K and Altcoins such as Ethereum, XRP, and Solana are on the move. Trump pushes Congress to move on Clarity Act during White House crypto event.
Bitcoin finally broke out, surging above $70,000 as several catalysts hit at once. Matt looks at Trump's White House meeting with crypto executives, Treasury moves supporting broader liquidity, and a massive short squeeze that wiped out roughly $2.7 billion in bearish positions. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs also brought in about $517 million, while Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Hyperliquid, and other major assets rallied even harder than Bitcoin. The episode also covers crypto stocks ripping alongside the market, continued expansion of XRP and tokenized-asset infrastructure, the CLARITY Act returning to the political conversation, and X reportedly exploring stablecoin payments. Matt remains cautiously bearish despite the rally, arguing that improving global liquidity and Treasury-market conditions are more important to watch than the White House meeting itself.

On today's episode, we discuss cryptocurrency, college athletics, emerging surveillance technology, and the future of artificial intelligence. The hosts share their personal—and explicitly nonprofessional—views on Bitcoin, XRP, institutional investment, inflation concerns, and the risks and opportunities they see in digital assets. They also debate changing NCAA eligibility rules, NIL-driven college sports, and whether major conferences may further separate from smaller programs. The conversation turns to Flock cameras and AI-enabled surveillance, weighing public-safety uses against privacy concerns and the prospect of increasingly pervasive tracking. Finally, the group considers AI competition and regulation, arguing that efforts to control the technology could concentrate power among a small number of large companies. Don't miss it!

Bitcoin is still hovering around $64,000, but traditional finance keeps moving deeper into crypto. Matt covers Citi preparing to launch institutional Bitcoin custody, Kraken expanding U.S. stock trading across Europe, Visa searching for new stablecoin settlement partners, and Treasury beginning the rulemaking process for the GENIUS Act. The episode also looks at XRP falling below $1, renewed investment in Zcash mining and privacy, regulators reconsidering outdated market rules as tokenized securities grow, and serious trouble at BitMart as users reportedly struggle to withdraw funds and some employees remain unpaid.

On this episode of The Crypto Rundown, host Mark Longo welcomes back Brandon Mulvihill, Co-Founder and CEO of Crossover Markets, for a wide-ranging conversation about the evolving crypto marketplace. They explore the growth of institutional crypto trading, why Brandon believes crypto has more of a supply-chain problem than a demand problem, and how custody, credit, execution and regulation could shape the next phase of institutional adoption. Brandon also discusses the growth of Crossover Markets and CROSSx, the launch of CROSSx Disclosed, and what increasing involvement from traditional financial institutions could mean for digital assets. Then the conversation turns to two of the hottest areas in the market: crypto perpetuals and prediction markets. Are perps really a revolutionary new product—or are they essentially the latest evolution of CFDs? And will prediction markets maintain their momentum as regulation and traditional sports betting continue to evolve? Plus, we break down the latest action in Bitcoin, IBIT, Strategy (MSTR), Ethereum, ETHA, BMNR, Circle, HYPE, Solana, XRP, Dogecoin and more.
XRP just fell below $1 for the first time since November 2024. Ripple keeps announcing partnerships, acquisitions, and revenue milestones — but none of it is translating to the token.

Craig says crypto liquidity has dried up dramatically, with Bitcoin stuck inside a month-long range between roughly $62,500 and $65,500 and only a small fraction of tracked trading pairs showing meaningful volume. He remains cautious and wants to see Bitcoin break lower before becoming more aggressive, with $59,000 as the next major area to watch if the current range fails. The episode also covers Craig's current XRP short, potential long setups in Hyperliquid and possibly BNB, and why thin order books make slippage and execution risk much more important right now. His main message is patience: there are still profitable trades, but traders should focus only on strong trends with real liquidity rather than forcing activity in a messy market.

The financial world looks very different than it did just a few years ago. Brian Wiley is joined by Steve Cilley of Ataraxis PEO for a wide-ranging conversation about how changes in technology, the workplace, housing, and the economy are reshaping the way people build and protect wealth. The show begins by looking back at the economic fallout from COVID, including stimulus, inflation, changes in employee expectations, and the lasting impact on businesses. A listener with gains in XRP brings the conversation into cryptocurrency, tax-loss harvesting, cost-basis tracking, cold wallets, and the challenges of proving and protecting ownership of digital assets. Brian and Steve then look ahead to AI and robotics, discussing which jobs may be disrupted and why owning capital could become increasingly important as technology changes the labor market. The discussion shifts to whether homeownership still makes financial sense, especially for younger generations facing higher prices and interest rates. They compare buying versus renting, home equity versus investing, the changing age of first-time buyers, and the financial and lifestyle tradeoffs behind the American dream of owning a home. The final hour focuses on business owners and the modern workplace: employee classification, remote workers across state lines, payroll and employment-law risks, compensation agreements, managing employees, and why growing businesses eventually need their systems and advisors to grow with them.
