Episode Description from the Publisher

Crypto markets may finally be entering crypto’s next phase, but the biggest breakthroughs could depend less on price action and more on regulation, infrastructure, and who controls the rails. This week, the team breaks down Bitcoin’s macro-driven rally, accelerating ETF demand, and why optimism around the Clarity Act is suddenly rising. They also explore tokenized equities, transfer agents becoming crypto gatekeepers, Solana vs. Ethereum for on-chain markets, and whether crypto can reinvent IPOs and capital formation. Enjoy!
