It's not just another asset… in the digital age, it's The Last Trade that investors will ever need to make. 🎙️ About This Episode Bitcoin is down 50% from all-time highs and there's no single catalyst anyone can point to. Global uncertainty has broken all-time highs — surpassing 9/11, 2008, and COVID. The crew is joined by Onramp COO Nick DeLozier for a wide-ranging conversation on what's driving the drawdown, why the four-year cycle may be self-fulfilling, and how quantum computing fear is being overblown but shouldn't be ignored. The conversation shifts to key takeaways from Bitcoin Investor Week, including Tether US CEO Bo Hines' bullish case for the Clarity Act and stablecoins as the ultimate Trojan horse for bitcoin adoption. Nick then walks through "The Architecture of Trust" — Onramp's latest publication detailing the engineering breakthroughs behind their self-service onboarding, redesigned dashboard, and security-first withdrawal workflows. The team also discusses dynasty trusts, the evolving AI threat landscape, and the road to mass-market bitcoin custody. 🧠 Chapters 00:00 — Intro & Market Sentiment Overview 04:30 — Gold, Bitcoin & the Centralization Problem 08:10 — Coinbase Goes Down Again & the 50% Drawdown 17:42 — Bitcoin Investor Week: Behind Closed Doors 22:23 — Quantum Computing: Real Risk or Overblown FUD? 33:50 — Bo Hines on the Clarity Act, Stablecoins & Tether's Scale 40:03 — Stablecoins as a Trojan Horse for Bitcoin Adoption 44:06 — The Architecture of Trust: Onramp's Product Evolution 54:03 — Dynasty Trusts, Lending & the Custody Roadmap 1:02:50 — Shipping MacBooks: Crossing the Custody Chasm 1:06:00 — Closing Thoughts, Custody FAQ & Disclaimers 💡 Subscribe & Stay Ahead Get Onramp’s weekly Research & Analysis: High-signal insights in bitcoin, macro, and custody. 📩 https://onrampbitcoin.com/research Subscribe to Onramp Media for more: 🎧 The Last Trade | Final Settlement | Scarce Assets

    Bloomberg Analyst: Everyone Says Bitcoin Is Dead — Here's Why They're Wrong

    The Last Trade: Eric Balchunas of Bloomberg breaks down bitcoin's brutal drawdown, why 94% of ETF investors aren't selling, the "silent IPO" of OG holders, and the macro case for what comes next. --- 🔸 Connect with Onramp: The leader in resilient, fault-tolerant Multi-Institution Custody for secure, enduring bitcoin ownership. ⁠UPCOMING WEBINAR⁠ 👉 Inheritance & Trust Planning: https://onrampbitcoin.com/products/inheritance 👉 Institutional: https://onrampbitcoin.com/products/institutional 👉 Business: https://onrampbitcoin.com/products/business 📩 Schedule a briefing: https://onrampbitcoin.com/contact Eric Balchunas on X: https://x.com/EricBalchunas The Last Trade: a weekly, bitcoin-native podcast covering the intersection of bitcoin, tech, & finance on a macro scale.

It's not just another asset… in the digital age, it's The Last Trade that investors will ever need to make. 🎙️ About This Episode Eric Balchunas returns to The Last Trade to put bitcoin's 45% drawdown in perspective. Drawing on his deep expertise in ETF flows and investor behavior, Eric makes the case that this correction — while painful — is completely normal. With 94% of bitcoin ETF assets still intact and the fundamental debasement thesis unchanged, the real story may be less about what's going wrong and more about the price investors pay for outsized long-term returns. The conversation covers the "silent IPO" of OG holders taking profits, why ETF investors are the smart money in this cycle, the Kevin Warsh Fed chair implications, and why short-term narratives drawn from a year of data are "so dumb." Eric also shares what's exciting him in the broader ETF space — including the race to get SpaceX and other private companies into exchange-traded wrappers. 🧠 Chapters 02:07 — Intro & Welcome Back Eric Balchunas 04:16 — "Bitcoin Is Rocky Balboa" & Contextualizing Drawdowns 10:18 — Volatility Is the Cost of Admission 13:30 — The Silent IPO: OGs Selling & Why That's OK 23:41 — Kevin Warsh, the Fed & the Trump Put 34:58 — Understanding the Problem to Understand Bitcoin 38:59 — Why 94% of ETF Investors Aren't Selling 45:41 — Value Investing Wisdom & Human Psychology 49:51 — Crypto Contagion, Tokenization & Bitcoin's Separate Lane 55:35 — Vanguard vs. BlackRock & the Race for Private Markets 1:06:00 — Closing Thoughts, Outro & Disclaimer 💡 Subscribe & Stay Ahead Get Onramp’s weekly Research & Analysis: High-signal insights in bitcoin, macro, and custody. 📩 https://onrampbitcoin.com/research Subscribe to Onramp Media for more: 🎧 The Last Trade | Final Settlement | Scarce Assets

It's not just another asset… in the digital age, it's The Last Trade that investors will ever need to make. 🎙️ About This Episode Mel Mattison returns to explain why bitcoin hasn't participated in the broader rally in non-USD assets — even as gold hits all-time highs and emerging markets outperform. Rather than abandoning his thesis, Mel frames bitcoin as being in its "puberty stage," with uneven growth before reaching adult stability. The conversation unpacks the real reason the Clarity Act failed: stablecoins with yield threaten the banking system's core business model. We explore the sovereign debt picture, why Europe may be the real powder keg, and how the Fed will eventually be forced to expand its balance sheet as traditional treasury buyers exit. We close on potential upside surprises — including Trump's possible use of Defense Department vehicles to buy bitcoin — and why deflationary forces from AI and demographics may thread the needle between debasement and collapse. 🧠 Chapters 00:00 — 2026 Market Recap & Why Bitcoin Is Stalling 09:29 — Bitcoin's "Puberty Stage" & Investor Base Turnover 24:55 — Emerging Markets, Gold & Non-USD Assets Winning 35:00 — The Clarity Act, Banks & the Inflation Tax 50:23 — Europe as the Powder Keg & Sovereign Debt Risks 58:06 — AI, Demographics & the Permanent Underclass 💡 Subscribe & Stay Ahead Get Onramp’s weekly Research & Analysis: High-signal insights in bitcoin, macro, and custody. 📩 https://onrampbitcoin.com/research Subscribe to Onramp Media for more: 🎧 The Last Trade | Final Settlement | Scarce Assets

With 20+ years building multi-asset portfolios, Jeroen left traditional finance to launch a fund focused on scarce assets: quality stocks, physical gold, and directly-held Bitcoin. We discuss why bonds have delivered negative real returns for two decades, how gold at $5,000 still isn't enough to rebalance the system, the mechanics of financial repression, why owning assets outside the system matters more than ever, and how $124 trillion in generational wealth transfer will reshape portfolios. The conversation also covers Bitcoin's coming catalyst and the AI investment bubble Jeroen sees forming. Scarce Assets: a biweekly podcast presented by Onramp which delves into the emergent role of bitcoin in finance professionals' strategies and outlooks. Hosted by Jackson Mikalic, Scarce Assets provides invaluable insights for wealth managers aiming to outperform their peers in the decades ahead. Finance professionals everywhere know about stocks and bonds, but the macroeconomic outlook requires that serious investors pay close attention to another category: Scarce Assets. 🧠 Chapters 00:00 — Gold's Historic Rally to $5,000 03:08 — What's Driving the Gold Breakout 08:43 — How Long Will the Rally Last? 16:20 — The Myth of Central Bank Independence 21:54 — Trussonomics: When Bond Markets Strike Back 29:58 — The Great Rebalancing Defined 38:40 — Financial Repression & Forced Bond Buying 47:44 — Owning Assets Outside the System 53:23 — The $124 Trillion Wealth Transfer 59:16 — AI Productivity Gains vs. Investment Bubble 1:06:58 — Bitcoin's Catalyst & 2026 Outlook 1:10:41 — Where to Find Jeroen's Book, Outro & Disclaimer 💡 Subscribe & Stay Ahead Get Onramp’s weekly Research & Analysis: High-signal insights in bitcoin, macro, and custody. 📩 https://onrampbitcoin.com/research Subscribe to Onramp Media for more: 🎧 The Last Trade | Final Settlement | Scarce Assets
