Coinbase CEO: Tokenization will be great for asset management companies “I think [tokenization] will create more demand for funds and products. I think it’s going to democratize access and reduce a lot of the back office fees and costs to operate that type of business. More broadly, this term ‘tokenization’ is the idea that you have an underlying asset and then you make a digital token that 1:1 represents it. The first case we’ve seen this take off with is stablecoins… that’s the tokenization of the dollar. That took off and is doing great. It’s a huge growth area. We’re now seeing the tokenization of all these other asset classes — this can happen in real estate, private credit, and the funds that BlackRock, Apollo, and these firms put out. I think it’s going to just create more demand for their products essentially.” The world's largest asset managers are already doing this, and they're building on Ethereum: - BlackRock's BUIDL fund: ~$2.4B in tokenized U.S. Treasuries - JPMorgan's MONY: tokenized money market fund, seeded with $100M - Franklin Templeton's BENJI: $680M+ on-chain government money fund - Fidelity's FDIT: tokenized money market fund launched on Ethereum - Ondo Finance: $1.4B+ across tokenized Treasury products - WisdomTree, Hashnote, Superstate, Amundi, SocGen FORGE — all live Tokenized money market funds alone grew from $3B to $9B in a single year. Ethereum hosts ~57% of all tokenized real-world assets by value. Source: Norges Bank (Mar 2026)

We Were Right About This Space $12.7 trillion is now moving toward tokenized money markets. JPMorgan Chase Wealth Management just released a document describing the tokenization of money market funds as a fundamental upgrade to the plumbing of global finance, not a simple technology enhancement. The global money market fund industry is ~$12.7T, with ~$8.1T in the U.S. alone. Their position is explicit: Tokenized money market funds extend the evolution from stablecoins and deposit tokens while enabling: • faster settlement • greater predictability • improved collateral efficiency • more transparent redemptions that may enhance financial stability This document is written for institutional, wholesale, and professional clients and references live infrastructure, not theory. Networks and systems mentioned or contextualized: • Hedera as a public permissioned DLT with built-in regulatory controls • Solana and Avalanche as scalable, widely adopted public blockchains • Bitcoin and Ethereum as foundational blockchain systems • Canton Network through JP Morgan–related settlement and market infrastructure activity Additional real-world deployments highlighted: • JP Morgan arranged a U.S. commercial paper issuance on Solana for Galaxy, purchased by Coinbase and Franklin Templeton Interesting connections uncovered: • Visa launched USDC settlement for U.S. banks on Solana, with Cross River Bank helping scale the program to billions in annualized volume • As early as 2016, Cross River Bank was among the first U.S. banks to adopt Ripple (the “IOU network”) for real-time, low-cost cross-border payments, long before today’s tokenization narratives By the numbers: JP Morgan’s global liquidity business manages ~$1.4T, including ~$1.1T in money market funds, and is actively developing tokenized versions to optimize liquidity. For context, total on-chain tokenized real-world assets today are still only ~$50B. JP Morgan alone is discussing tokenization at a multi-trillion-dollar scale. This isn’t speculation. Regulated financial institutions are preparing for tokenized markets to operate inside the existing system, not outside of it. Networks mentioned: SOL I HBAR I XRP I CC I LINK I ETH I AVAX I BTC Watch what they do, not what they say.

"Crypto is the dumbest market in the world" Scott Phillips (Temu Robot James) runs HyperTrend — $20M of his own capital, one losing year in six. His edge? Picking the table big firms can't sit at. "There's no second-best counterparty in crypto. You see crime, you run towards it — crime is the foundation of edge." We cover: - Why crypto still has edge in 2026 — even when your uncle is talking about Bitcoin at Thanksgiving - The simple rules (buy 20-day highs, top-20 coins) that print through any market - Why stacking trend + momentum + carry gets you there from a spreadsheet — no automation required - Price-insensitive buyers (Saylor), price-insensitive sellers (North Korea) & why both are permanent alpha - The 90-day Binance listing short — an edge hiding in plain sight in market maker contracts - Why most shit coins trend to zero — and how to trade the ones that don't - Building a tokenized, permissionless DeFi hedge fund on hyperliquid — 2 & 20, fully on-chain - Why the best quant firms are run by near-non-verbal autists with one translator Thank you so much Temu Robot James for coming on the pod! Highlights: 01:04 Table selection and the math of competitive alpha 06:21 Why basic trend following yields outsized Sharpe in crypto 08:49 Why market inefficiency persists despite institutional inflows 14:58 Price insensitive buyers: Cults, VCs, and North Korean hackers 17:17 Factor analysis and the size-decay effect in shitcoins 25:40 The structural edge in mid-frequency crypto strategies 32:43 Tokenized DeFi vaults and on-chain hedge fund governance 40:43 Designing a robust portfolio: Equal weighting vs. MVO 44:21 Sourcing alpha from ghost chains and VC exit liquidity 49:58 Exploiting market maker contracts and post-listing drift 53:55 Operational alpha: Managing margin and manipulated funding rates 01:01:13 Shifting from quant to CEO 01:11:28 How to bridge the mentorship gap with elite traders 01:22:38 Building network triads: The secret to compounding social capital 01:29:23 Why 10x goals require total identity transformation

Joseph Chalom explains why BlackRock launched BUIDL on Ethereum “I’m not a spokesman for Larry Fink, but he really evolved his thinking on Bitcoin, and I give him a lot of credit because there’s very few people in their 60s or 70s who have the humility to continue to be a student of the market and a student of technology. And he learned that it’s an incredible store of value and has a role in a portfolio.” “I think BlackRock and others believe even more strongly that tokenization will essentially lead to the democratization and digitization of all of finance. Crypto is a $2.4 trillion market. Total financial assets are over $700 trillion. Our clients wanted to know where we were going, and we led them along.” “We launched a token called BUIDL, which was a yield-bearing security on mainnet Ethereum that was interchangeable 24/7 with stablecoins and could be used as collateral in on-chain transactions. That became the largest tokenized fund in history — not because it was BlackRock, but because we provided real utility. The industry was missing real examples and use cases of utility, and we wanted our first foray into tokenization to be something that would break barriers and give clients more utility than what they had, which was that stablecoins were not earning yield.” BUIDL has grown to $2.5 billion, and BlackRock has since filed to launch two new tokenized money market funds on Ethereum. BSTBL brings the nearly $7 billion Select Treasury Liquidity Fund on-chain, with BNY Melon keeping the official shareholder registry on Ethereum in ERC-20 tokens. BRSRV is a new fund built for stablecoin reserves and the GENIUS Act-driven institutional demand for tokenized Treasury yield. Source: Thinking Crypto Podcast (Mar 2026)

We sat down with Matt Hougan at Breakpoint to talk about what happens when Wall Street finally starts to pay attention to stablecoins. Almost no one in traditional finance cared until the GENIUS Act. Now the Treasury Secretary is projecting a market repricing to $3.7 trillion. The question institutions are asking: how do I actually invest in this? That's what Bitwise has filed to build. As CIO managing over $15 billion in assets, Matt breaks down the stablecoin ETF filing — half crypto protocols like Solana and Ethereum, half companies like Circle and Coinbase 🛡️ — designed for investors who know stablecoins are going to be big but don't know where the value will accrue. Key Moments: 04:18 - "Almost no one cared until the GENIUS Act" 06:55 - "Robbed of the interest income for the last hundred years" 08:30 - Why the GENIUS Act timeline matters 10:38 - The stablecoin ETF thesis and filing 14:26 - Tokenization: $68 trillion in US equities 18:14 - Why stablecoin economics mirror Charles Schwab's profit model 21:55 - Solana's role in internet capital markets 23:48 - The Solana thesis: two bets at once Recorded at Solana Breakpoint 2025

Bitcoin has already won as Digital Capital. The next wave is Digital Credit, Digital Money, Digital Yield, and Bitcoin-backed capital markets — products that can bring trillions of dollars of traditional credit and money market capital onto Bitcoin.

Discussing UGC & UGM With The Cofounder of Youtube I hung down with steve chen, the co-founder of Youtube to discuss the key ideas of user generated content & user generated money. Steve, being the cofounder of Youtube, has obviously been one of the key pioneers of user generated content, playing a large part in creating the world as we know it. I recently floated the idea of all crypto, including bitcoin and your fav memecoin can basically be understood as user generated money, in contrast to fiat, which is obviously generated by governments. What was a pleasant surprise to both of us was the enormous overlap between these 2 movements in terms of their evolution, progress and how radically they empowered the masses compared to the previous paradigms of centralized content and money. Similar to how the widespread adoption of UGC has completely changed how the modern world works, thinks and acts, we believe that UGM can eventually do the same, even if we are very much in the infancy phase right now.

The FED’s Only Crypto Exchange Is Buying 15% Of One Altcoin The only crypto exchange the Federal Reserve let inside just bet its whole strategy on one altcoin. Everything we break down lives inside the community, link in bio, one dollar a month. Kraken is the first and only crypto native company in history to hold a Federal Reserve master account. That is direct access to the core payment system that moves money between every major bank in America, a door that was only open to traditional banks for 100 years. So when a company wired straight into the Fed makes a move, you pay attention. Here is the move. Kraken is in talks to buy 15 percent of Aave, the largest DeFi lending protocol in crypto, at a 385 million dollar valuation. The most fed connected player in the game is buying a piece of one specific coin. The question is why. Kraken already put more than 100 real stocks on chain through tokenized equities, with hundreds more coming. The SEC is clearing the path with its Project Crypto initiative, letting apps list tokenized securities directly and punching a hole in a 233 year old Wall Street monopoly. Picture it: you buy stocks on chain, then borrow against them instantly through DeFi, and the protocol built to do that at scale right now is Aave. So this is the bet. Stocks move on chain, and the lending that powers all of it runs through one coin. That is why Kraken is buying the coin before the rest of the world catches up. What it means for your money: this is what the start of institutional altcoin buying actually looks like. The most connected players position quietly, before it is obvious. The only real question is whether you see it before everyone else and act on it. Follow for the moves the news skips.

"This really does feel like a silent IPO." James Seyffart (James Seyffart) is the ETF analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. Spent his career inside the machine that tracks every dollar flowing through US ETFs. Predicted the spot Bitcoin ETF approval timing months before Wall Street consensus. Now tracking what advisors are actually doing, not what they're saying. "Q1 2026 was the most successful quarter Bitwise ever had. Selling Bitcoin ETFs to wealth advisors. Despite the price not doing well at all." We cover: — Why advisors loaded up on Bitcoin while retail was selling — The "silent IPO" frame: ETFs in, MicroStrategy in, retail out, and what happens when that flips — Why the Iran weekend was the real Bitcoin turning point nobody talked about — The Facebook moment thesis: why ETF growth keeps compounding even as crypto-native traders lose interest — Six years ago people asked if Bitcoin would be banned, what changed in DC — Why gold ETFs went from $130B to $300B+ and what that means for the next BTC leg — The basket ETF and prediction market ETF wave coming through SEC pipeline right now — Why James can't be more bullish than he is on ETF structure and the inflow numbers backing it up — Which wealth advisors are now writing Bitcoin into 60/40 portfolios as a structural allocation — The Clarity Act window and why his colleague has never put odds below 60% Thanks to James for joining us again on New Era Finance Podcast. Highlights: 00:00 - Intro 02:13 - The Iran Moment Shock 02:33 - Bitwise's Best Quarter Ever 03:34 - Crypto's Inverse Adoption Curve 12:08 - Tokenization & The Stablecoin Cliff 20:00 - Gold ETFs vs Bitcoin ETFs 21:00 - Six Years Ago vs Now 24:48 - The Gold Bull Run Explained 30:15 - Basket ETFs Coming 32:50 - Clarity Act Odds 33:40 - Why ETF Inflows Hit New ATHs 36:08 - The Silent IPO Frame

"I haven't seen a real new idea in trading in at least 15 years." Tom Costello (Tom Coste) ran money at Tudor, Moore Capital, and Caxton. Built one of the first NLP-driven equity systems in 2003. 20 years managing capital, never had a down year. "Comparing what a retail trader does to what a quantitative hedge fund does is like comparing driving a bus on the New Jersey Turnpike to winning a Formula One race." We cover: - His hot take: no genuinely new trading idea in 15 years — only better people doing the same things faster - Why everyone in quant finance is a genius — and why that makes you ordinary, not special - Crypto is "super smart guys cosplaying at finance" — built for retail, which is exactly why it's the easiest money in finance right now - Why AGI won't beat the hedge fund industry — all the readily-capturable alpha is already captured - The status trap: why the path that made Paul Tudor Jones a billionaire won't work for the kid trying to copy it in 2026 - His friend the investment banker who'd quit it all to run a 10-employee ambulance supply company worth $150M - Why excitement is "wildly overbid" in finance — and why wanting an exciting trading job is itself a disqualifier - The most honest end of the financial industry — and why the media has it exactly backwards Thanks so much to Tom for coming on Odds on Open! Highlights: 00:00 Intro 01:18 Building institutional credibility for early-stage managers 03:01 The Pareto distribution of hedge fund returns 04:25 Applying the Unified Field Theory of Finance to fair value 08:14 Trading against human incentives in a deterministic market 13:54 Why allocators don’t steal alpha from prospective PMs 25:16 Evaluating career edge in quantitative finance for 2026 30:48 Paul Tudor Jones and the art of game selection 33:42 Analyzing the economic viability of starting a new fund 35:16 Identifying common retail pitfalls: Mean reversion and arbitrage 38:55 Why there hasn't been a new trading idea in 15 years 50:33 Managing tail risk: Physics vs. deterministic financial distributions 59:10 Career pathing for PMs after a fund blow-up 1:07:53 SBF and FTX: Credibility vs. the "Founder-Genius" archetype 1:13:44 Establishing proof-of-concept through audited multi-year returns
