Global X Launches NYSX ETF: Targeting Innovation Across Sectors

In this episode, we sit down with Pedro Palandrani, Head of Product Research and Development at Global X ETFs, on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange to discuss the launch of the new NYSX ETF. Designed to track the top 100 tech and tech-enabled growth companies, the NYSX ETF provides investors with targeted exposure to innovation across multiple sectors, including technology, consumer discretionary, and communication services. Pedro highlights how the fund bridges a gap in the marketplace by offering access not just to well-known tech giants like Amazon and Google, but also to high-growth names such as Oracle, TSNC, and Palantir that are often underrepresented in traditional benchmarks.

Despite market volatility, Pedro emphasizes the long-term potential of the fund, allowing investors to capture structural and secular growth trends, including artificial intelligence, defense technology, and streaming platforms. With a partnership with the NYSE and ICE, NYSX aims to provide broad, multi-sector exposure to innovation while serving as a benchmark for investors seeking to invest in the future of growth companies.

How Inflation, Credit Card Debt & Mortgage Rates Impact Your Wallet

In today’s episode, we sit down with Ted Rossman, senior industry analyst at Bankrate, to break down what recent market shifts mean for your money. With the S&P 500 closing down 1.7% amid tensions in Iran, rising oil and gas prices are not just impacting markets they’re affecting consumers’ day-to-day lives, from filling up cars to transporting goods, putting upward pressure on inflation. We also take a close look at credit card debt, where half of Americans are managing well while the other half are struggling with high-interest debt, averaging $6,700 per household.

Ted shares strategies for making the most of this year’s larger tax refunds averaging $3,600, including paying down high-interest credit card debt, investing, or boosting emergency savings. He also explains why 29% of Americans have more debt than savings, from unexpected medical bills to everyday expenses outpacing paychecks. Mortgage rates are another focus, rising to around 6.5% and impacting homebuyers this spring. Finally, Ted gives practical tips for managing high credit card rates, including using 0% balance transfer cards like U.S. BankShield Visa, Wells Fargo Reflect, and Citi Simplicity to reduce interest payments and accelerate debt payoff.

Binance Cracks Down, UK Targets Crypto Donations, Visa Joins Canton

In today’s Crypto Daily Download, Binance is tightening its rules for token issuers and liquidity providers after renewed scrutiny of digital asset market practices following October’s market turmoil. The exchange says crypto projects can no longer have revenue-sharing agreements with market makers, and market makers are prohibited from working with projects to manipulate token prices or distort liquidity. Binance is also requiring projects to disclose details about the legal entities and contract terms of the market makers they use. Meanwhile, the UK government is moving forward with plans for a temporary ban on political donations made through cryptocurrencies, following recommendations from an independent inquiry into foreign financial interference in the country’s political and electoral systems.

Also in today’s headlines, Visa is joining the Canton Network as the first major global payments company to serve as a super validator, helping expand privacy-focused blockchain infrastructure for banks and financial institutions. At the same time, the House Financial Services Committee held a hearing on tokenization as momentum builds around bringing tokenized securities to market. While the SEC has approved several entities to move forward in the space, it continues to make clear that tokenized securities remain subject to existing securities laws.

The Future of Finance: How Blockchain is Reshaping Traditional Institutions

Neil Chopra, Head of Strategy & Business Development for the Americas at Fireblocks, joins Remy Blaire to delve into the current state of institutional adoption of digital assets, which Neil described as being at an inflection point. With his extensive background in corporate treasury and consulting, Neil highlights how regulatory frameworks in the U.S. are encouraging major financial institutions to engage with blockchain technology.

We discuss the growing importance of stablecoins and how they are paving the way for traditional institutions to explore blockchain-based markets. Neil emphasizes that Fireblocks is focused on enabling these institutions to participate in the digital asset ecosystem by providing a robust infrastructure that is agnostic to specific blockchain use cases.

As we look ahead to 2026 and beyond, Neil notes a shift in focus from business value to technology strategy within financial institutions. He points out that technology and security teams are now recognizing the need for a blockchain strategy, similar to the current hype around AI. This evolution is crucial for the integration of blockchain into existing business models.

We also touch on the issue of market fragmentation, with Neil suggesting that collaboration between traditional institutions and new-age asset managers is essential for progress. He highlights the need for a middle ground to benefit end users, especially in discussions around stablecoin yields.

Finally, Neil shares his vision for the future of the fintech landscape, predicting a hybrid model that combines traditional banking services with fintech innovations. He expresses optimism about the favorable regulatory environment that will support this evolution.

Joshua Lim, Global Co-Head of Markets at FalconX, joins Remy Blaire at the Digital Asset Summit 2026 to delve into the evolving landscape of Bitcoin and digital assets. We discuss the significant shift in market dynamics, particularly how U.S. exchanges have nearly doubled their market share, driven by Wall Street’s growing adoption of cryptocurrencies.

Joshua highlights Bitcoin’s current role as a store of value and a hedge against dollar inflation, noting that it has recently found a strong bottom around $60,000. We explore renewed interest from institutional investors, including notable figures such as Michael Saylor, and emerging trends in the altcoin space, where narratives around privacy and stablecoin settlements are gaining traction.

We also touch on the importance of separating the signal from the noise in the current macroeconomic environment, emphasizing key indicators such as the Bitcoin-to-gold ratio. Joshua explains how the utility of crypto is evolving, particularly with the rise of perpetual swaps and the ability to utilize idle assets as collateral.

As we discuss the regulatory landscape, Joshua shares insights on the ongoing battle for clarity in legislation, particularly regarding the Clarity Act.

The Future of Digital Currencies: Balancing Privacy and Transparency

In this episode of Market Movers, we dive into the complexities of financial privacy in the context of digital currencies, featuring insights from Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, General Counsel for Starkware. We start by discussing the current state of the markets, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average attempting to recover from a lower open, while the Nasdaq and S&P 500 continue to face declines.

Katherine highlights the importance of privacy for financial institutions, especially as markets increasingly move on-chain. We explore the challenges posed by the transparency of traditional blockchains, which can expose proprietary trading strategies and create potential for abuse. Despite a historical stigma around privacy in the regulatory landscape, there are signs of progress, with discussions at the SEC aimed at fostering a more positive view of privacy technology.

We also touch on the ongoing legislative efforts in Washington, where banks and crypto market participants are seeking a compromise on key provisions. While the administration remains focused on other priorities, there is cautious optimism within the crypto ecosystem for future legislation.

As we discuss the implications of tokenization and the need for 24/7 trading in a global market, Katherine emphasizes the benefits of real-time settlement and reduced risks associated with tokenized assets. Finally, we wrap up with a discussion on the fundamental right to privacy, particularly in the context of digital dollars and the impact on individuals’ lives, such as receiving stablecoin payments.

We discuss the significant activity happening behind the scenes, including various pitches from innovators in the digital asset space and major integrations with traditional finance firms like Invesco and Franklin Templeton. Despite the market’s stagnation over the past six weeks, there’s a sense of excitement and innovation, particularly with the upcoming end of the quarter potentially bringing renewed energy to the market.

Andy highlights the importance of the Ether to Bitcoin ratio, suggesting that Ether tends to perform well during market rallies, indicating a healthy market breadth. We also touch on the recent developments in traditional markets, particularly the ability to trade S&P 500 contracts over the weekend, which marks a significant shift in trading dynamics.

The Rise of VCX: How Fundrise is Changing Private Market Access

Ben Miller, the co-founder and CEO of Fundrise, joins Remy Blaire to discuss the recent IPO of Fundrise’s growth tech fund, VCX, which debuted on the New York Stock Exchange and has seen remarkable success since its launch. Ben shares insights on the unprecedented retail demand for the fund, which aims to democratize access to private market investments.

Ben explains that Fundrise has been paving the way for retail investors for the past four years, allowing them to invest in private market companies with a low minimum investment of $10. With over 100,000 individual investors contributing an average of $5,000 each before the fund went public, this broad-based ownership has created a network effect that contributed to the fund’s positive reception in the market.

We also discuss the role of regulation in expanding private market access, particularly under the SEC’s current leadership. Ben emphasizes the importance of providing everyday investors with opportunities in a space that has largely excluded them for the past 15 years. He believes that VCX represents a viable solution to this issue, offering a low-cost, regulated structure for investing in private companies.

As we look ahead to potential public offerings from major players like SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic, Ben highlights the ongoing innovation in private markets and the importance of including venture capital as a category in investment portfolios. He shares an example of a recent investment in a technology that could significantly extend the lifespans of dogs, illustrating the potential for groundbreaking advancements in the private sector.

Fed Rate Expectations and the State of Employment: A Deep Dive with Sarah Foster

Sarah Foster, an analyst at Bankrate, joins Remy Blaire to discuss the latest jobs report and its implications for the U.S. economy. We discuss the recent rally on Wall Street, driven by a better-than-expected nonfarm payroll figure that added 130,000 jobs and brought the unemployment rate down to 4.3%.

Sarah highlights the mixed signals in the labor market, noting that while job growth has improved slightly, it remains the worst year for job growth outside of a recession since 2003. We explore the challenges workers face in finding new opportunities, as job openings have decreased and the ratio of job openings to unemployed individuals is at its lowest since 2017.

We also touch on the K-shaped economy, where economic growth is not benefiting all Americans equally, particularly those on the lower end of the income spectrum. Sarah emphasizes the importance of understanding who is truly benefiting from the current economic conditions.

We discuss the Federal Reserve’s rate outlook, with expectations for potential rate cuts later this year, but also the complexities involved given the changing makeup of the Fed and ongoing inflation concerns.

Finally, we reflect on the stock market’s performance, acknowledging that while indices like the Dow, Nasdaq and S&P are elevated, this does not necessarily reflect the broader economic reality for everyday Americans.
