Show Notes
Join Alex Tapscott and Andrew Young as they decode the world of crypto. Listen in as they discuss the flash crash earlier this month and record liquidation cascade triggered by sudden macro headlines, what it revealed about leverage and thin liquidity in crypto versus public markets, the continued divergence between Bitcoin/ETH strength and persistent altcoin weakness, structural issues in token economics and CEX listing dynamics that are driving project buybacks and decentralization pushes under the GENIUS Act, the rise of onchain venues like Hyperliquid and increasing TradFi integration, and shifting dynamics in the digital-asset-treasury market including DATs moving from issuance at premiums to buybacks at discounts, as well as the significance of new Solana, HBAR, and Litecoin ETFs for institutional crypto access.
