    Is the AI Boom Keeping Bitcoin from Its Next Bull Run? | Markets Outlook

    Hyblock Capital co-founder and CEO Shubh Varma joins CoinDesk’s Ray Salmond on Markets Outlook in the aftermath of the largest hack in crypto history. Varma says the order books barely moved because Binance could cover the $6.3 billion loss and refunded users in coin, not dollars. Plus, what the Democrats’ midterm wave means for crypto regulation, why he thinks Bitcoin’s next run will come from capital rotating out of the AI trade, and his contrarian call that 2027 will be bullish despite a Fed that’s raising rates. - This episode is brought to you by Grayscale, the world's largest digital asset-focused investment platform.

    Hunter Biden Says Democrats Have It Wrong on Crypto

    Hunter Biden sits down with CoinDesk’s Nik De on Election Day to talk about his $LAPTOP meme token, Democrats’ crypto blind spot and why he’s done hiding. Biden blames the token’s chaotic launch on a market maker he says put just $5,000 to work. He calls himself a “true believer” in crypto, and says most Democrats who weigh in on it “don’t know anything about it.” He also argues that President Trump’s personal crypto ventures are a danger to the industry, and says Trump’s refusal to accept ethics provisions is the only reason market structure legislation stalled. Plus, his take on the swift dismissal of charges against two FBI agents tied to the laptop investigation why he chose to “walk through the fire” instead of disappearing. - Register for Consensus Hong Kong 2027 (February 1-3) and Consensus Miami 2027 (May 4-6) at events.coindesk.com. - Learn more about CoinDesk Data & Indices at coindesk.com/institutions. - Timecodes: 00:00 - Hunter Biden Joins CoinDesk 01:40 - Why He’s a Crypto “True Believer” 02:44 - The First Meme Coin With a Built-In Prediction Market 03:28 - Why Progressives Have Crypto Wrong 04:27 - What Happened at the $LAPTOP Launch 06:47 - $LAPTOP Tokenomics and the 5% Charity Floor 09:02 - Hunter Biden’s Election Day Predictions 12:56 - Why Crypto Money Is Flowing to Republicans 14:34 - Why He Says Trump’s Crypto Ventures Are “Dangerous” for the Industry 17:06 - The Ethics Fight That Stalled Market Structure Legislation 22:29 - Owning the Launch, and the Rug Pull Perception 23:52 - A Judge Tosses Charges Against FBI Agents in the Laptop Probe 26:18 - Comey, Don Lemon and the DOJ’s “Eye of Sauron” 29:58 - Can Government Weaponization Be Stopped? 35:00 - Iran, Vietnam and the Nuclear Codes 37:19 - Why Hunter Biden Stays in the Public Eye
