October 22, 2026·1h 0m
Episode Description from the Publisher

This week, we look at JPMorgan's latest crypto report and Sam Altman's World, which is rolling out World IDs to banks and financial firms. Altman describes its proof-of-human technology as essential infrastructure for the AI era. We also cover Mike Cagney's launch of Navra and the $45 billion compute deal announced by Anthropic and Nscale. We then turn to the episode's main theme: how special purpose vehicles are being used to fund AI infrastructure outside of corporate balance sheets, and the considerations this may raise for investors. Our Chart of the Week examines global private debt assets under management.    Remember to Stay Current!  To learn more, visit us on the web at https://www.morgancreekcap.com/morgan-creek-digital/.
