136. Is quantum computing coming for crypto — and what happens next?
Quantum computing promises breakthroughs that could transform life as we know it – but what happens when the technology becomes powerful enough to crack the cryptography underpinning billions of dollars in digital assets?In this episode of The Long-Short, we speak with Bill Laboon, Vice President, Technical Operations at Web3 Foundation, to explore the looming collision between quantum computing and blockchain technology. They discuss why Google's plan to migrate to post-quantum cryptography by 2029 is a wake-up call, how advances in quantum computing could threaten cryptocurrencies, and why the transition to quantum-resistant systems presents both technical and social challenges.With large portions of Bitcoin and Ethereum potentially vulnerable, are investors and the crypto industry prepared for the next great technological shift?

133. Why European distressed debt is back in focus
Europe’s credit markets are flashing mixed signals: some see a drought of opportunity, others see one of the richest hunting grounds in years. So, who’s right? Akshay Shah, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Kyma Capital, joins Tom and Drew to unpack why he believes today’s European distressed debt market offers one of the deepest and most durable opportunity sets in decades. Shah also explores what makes Europe’s credit markets so complex and inefficient compared with the US, how private credit is reshaping the landscape, and why the rule of law matters more to investors than many might think.

131. Why global hedge funds are turning to South Korea
South Korea is having a capital markets moment.Home to global leaders in semiconductors, automotive manufacturing and advanced technology, Korea’s markets have delivered extraordinary returns in recent years, fuelled by a powerful combination of market momentum, policy reform and shifting global capital flows. As a result, the country is increasingly attracting the attention of some of the world’s largest hedge funds and asset managers, alongside a groundswell of new domestic capital pouring into public markets.But can Korea finally move beyond the long-discussed “Korea discount” and build a more sustainable growth market for both domestic and international investors?Joining us to explore these questions is Peter Kim, Senior Managing Director and Head of the Global & Wholesale Division at KB Securities, and one of Korea’s best-known market commentators. Together, we discuss the forces driving Korea’s economic resurgence, the evolution of its capital markets, the rise of alternatives and private credit, and whether Seoul could emerge as a new Asian alternative investment powerhouse.
