Bitcoin’s Resilience and the Surge of TradFi Integration in Crypto

Andy Baehr, Managing Director of Asset Management at GSR, joins Remy Blaire to share insights on the ongoing crypto bear market. We dive into the current state of the cryptocurrency market, focusing on Bitcoin’s recent pullback below the $70,000 mark and the implications of nearly $15 billion in Bitcoin options set to expire.

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.

As we wrap up, we reflect on the sentiment among regulators and builders in the space, noting a push for clarity in tokenization rules and a sense of optimism about the future of digital assets in the U.S.

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.

140 Years of Water Innovation & the Future of American Water

Cheryl Norton, Executive Vice President and COO of American Water, joins from the New York Stock Exchange to celebrate World Water Day and the company’s 140th anniversary.

With over 40 years in the industry, Cheryl underscores the expertise and dedication her team brings to ensuring sustainable, high-quality water service for all customers.

What Real Financial Inclusion Looks Like

On this episode, Scarlett Sieber sat down with Mary Ellen Iskenderian, CEO of Women’s World Banking and president of the Diamond category at the Money Awards, to discuss what truly defines transformative impact in financial services. Iskenderian explains that the focus goes beyond innovation for its own sake—it’s about creating meaningful, scalable change that redefines who can access financial services, how those services are delivered, and whether they genuinely improve people’s lives. She also shares advice for applicants, stressing the importance of combining bold ideas with clear data and measurable proof of impact.

The conversation also explores how financial inclusion has evolved over the years, especially for women. Iskenderian highlights that inclusion is no longer just about opening a bank account, it now means access to a broader range of trusted, usable financial tools. She emphasizes that one of the biggest opportunities ahead is closing the trust and literacy gap, ensuring that underserved communities, particularly women, feel confident using the products designed for them. It’s a powerful conversation on innovation, accessibility, and the future of inclusive finance.

Jay Woods Warns Market Relief Rally Isn’t the All-Clear Yet

On this episode, markets staged a modest relief rally after four straight down weeks, but Jay Woods of Freedom Capital Markets says investors should stay cautious. He points to the S&P 500’s recent low near 6,500 as a critical support level and says the market must reclaim the 200-day moving average around 6,630 to signal that the broader trend is stabilizing. Until then, traders remain on edge as volatility and headline risk continue to drive price action.

Woods says the next big moves in stocks will likely depend on oil prices, Treasury yields, and geopolitical developments surrounding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. He highlights energy, materials, staples, and even PFE as areas to watch in this environment, while warning that higher gas prices could start to weigh on consumer spending, inflation, and growth. With unemployment data and the Fed’s next decision ahead, the market is now balancing the risk of slower growth, sticky inflation, and a more complicated interest-rate outlook.

Circle plunges, Invesco tokenization, NYSE tokenization, Bitcoin shift

Circle Internet Group fell roughly 19% after a draft of the Clarity Act surfaced, which would ban interest or yield on passive stablecoin balances. The proposed rules target structures economically equivalent to interest, directly threatening the yield incentives that have driven USDC adoption. Coinbase also dropped 11% in sympathy, given its role as Circle’s primary USDC distribution partner and the $364 million in stablecoin revenue it reported in Q4 2025. In other news, Invesco has been named investment manager for SuperState’s tokenized US Treasury Fund (USTB), overseeing day-to-day management of nearly $1 billion in on-chain assets while leaving the blockchain infrastructure in the hands of its creator. The fund, currently at $967 million, ranks among the five largest tokenized Treasury products globally. Meanwhile, the New York Stock Exchange announced a partnership with Securitize to develop its tokenized securities trading platform. Securitize will become the NYSE’s first digital transfer agent, enabling the issuance and management of stock and ETF shares as blockchain-based tokens in a compliant way. Finally, Bernstein projects Bitcoin could reach $150,000 by the end of 2026, citing a shift toward institutional ownership, long-term holder concentration, and growing ETF adoption as stabilizing forces, challenging fears that the four-year cycle peaked in 2025. These are the key headlines shaping the crypto market today.

He also explores the convergence of AI and blockchain, the growth of stablecoins, and the opportunities emerging markets have in leveraging digital assets. From institutional adoption to the future of payments and agentic finance, Anthony provides insights into how the crypto ecosystem is maturing and what to watch in the months ahead.

Crypto Regulation & the Clarity Act: What’s Next for Stablecoins and DeFi

Crypto clarity is inching forward as the Senate reportedly reaches a deal on the Clarity Act, which would prevent stablecoin issuers from paying yield to holders, a move that sent Circle shares tumbling to their worst day ever. At the same time, the SEC has sent two regulatory proposals to the White House aimed at easing rules for both crypto and Wall Street. At the BlockWorks Digital Asset Summit 2026 in New York City, Ron Hammond, Head of Policy and Advocacy at Wintermute, joins to break down the evolving regulatory landscape, including SEC Chair Paul Atkins’ push for an innovation exemption to spur DeFi development. From tokenization trends and institutional adoption to prediction markets and the ongoing lobbying battle in D.C., we explore how policy, regulation, and innovation are shaping the next phase of crypto. Hammond also weighs in on how these developments impact both retail and institutional players, and why 2026 could be a pivotal year for digital assets as the U.S. works toward clearer rules and wider adoption.

NYSE Partners with Securitize to Launch 24/7 Tokenized Stocks & ETFs

The markets are buzzing as the opening bell rings at the New York Stock Exchange, and crypto is making waves with Bitcoin holding above $71,800 and Ether up over 3%. US stock indices are climbing, driven by hopes for de-escalation in the Middle East, with the Dow Jones up over 500 points, the Nasdaq rising 250 points, and the S&P 500 gaining 1%. Meanwhile, oil prices are pulling back sharply, with WTI under $88 and Brent below $100 per barrel. Amid this backdrop, the NYSE has partnered with Securitize to develop a digital tokenization platform, making Securitize the exchange’s first digital transfer agent. This collaboration enables the issuance and trading of equities and ETFs as digital tokens, promising 24/7 trading, instant settlements, and even stablecoin-funded trades. Joining in on this episode at Digital Asset Summit 2026, Carlos Domingo, co-founder and CEO of Securitize, who explains how this innovation opens new opportunities for retail investors and institutions alike, highlights tokenization and stablecoins as major industry narratives, and he shares why he is optimistic about 2026 and beyond despite recent market volatility.
