Raoul Pal welcomes back Richard Galvin, Co-Founder of Digital Asset Capital Management to break down why crypto may be nearing the end of its long, frustrating reset. They discuss why DeFi volumes, tokenization, AI agents, trading bots, stablecoins, and 24/7 markets could dramatically expand crypto’s addressable market. They also explore Bitcoin, Zcash, Hyperliquid, Robinhood’s rapid growth, crypto VC, and why the application layer may be one of the most mispriced areas of the market.Today's episode is supported by Pyth Network, the fastest-growing name in market data, packed with over three thousand instruments covering equities, commodities, FX, rates, and crypto, plus the largest set of 24/7 financial indices out there.
