Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode, we break down how crypto markets are showing renewed strength as Bitcoin and Ethereum erase most of June's losses, and crypto ETFs snap their longest losing streak on record. Around the globe, momentum continues to build as Japan, the UK, and Bolivia advance initiatives that could further accelerate digital asset adoption.  We also explore how Cantor Fitzgerald and Securitize are bringing IPOs onchain, highlighting the growing convergence of traditional finance and blockchain technology. Finally, we dive into Nous Research's reported $75 million fundraising round at a $1.5 billion valuation and what its expanding Hermes AI agent platform could mean for the next wave of artificial intelligence innovation.  Chart of the week: The IMF's July 2026 World Economic Outlook  Remember to Stay Current!  To learn more, visit us on the web at https://www.morgancreekcap.com/morgan-creek-digital/.
