    Strategy Sold Bitcoin. Polymarket Can't Agree on When

    Strategy sold Bitcoin in May and disclosed the sale via SEC filing in June. The Polymarket market on that sale resolved to no sale in May, with tens of millions of dollars on one question: does the trade date control, or the disclosure date? Sam Enzer and Steven Ehrlich map the dispute, the oracle governance concentration risk behind it, and the practical checklist for diligencing any prediction market bet before placing it. Host: Steven Ehrlich, Host of Bits + Bips and Head of Research at Sharplink - https://x.com/Steven_Ehrlich Guest: Sam Enzer - Partner and CahillNXT Co-Chair at Cahill Gordon & Reindel This clip is from a longer conversation on prediction market law, insider trading, and oracle risk.

    Why Strategy's Capital Stack Is Starting to Show Cracks

    Strategy sold Bitcoin for the first time since 2022 — a small sale, but a meaningful signal.

    Why Crypto Is Losing the Momentum Trade to AI Stocks Right Now

    Bitcoin’s implied volatility just hit a nine-month low. ETF outflows have been running for weeks. And a memory chip ETF may have matched IBIT for the fastest ETF launch in history. So what’s happening to crypto? Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers, and Steve Ehrlich break down the structural forces working against crypto right now: AI stocks doing the heavy lifting in portfolios, upcoming SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic IPOs pulling momentum capital, Kraken and Ledger delaying their own listings, and the ‘crypto tourist’ problem — ETF buyers who bought on momentum and will sell on momentum the moment something else outperforms. Is this a cleansing moment, or is crypto just one sector now? Guests: Steve Sosnick, Chief Strategist at Interactive Brokers. Host: Steve Ehrlich, Head of Research at SharpLink. This clip is from a longer conversation.

    Why Arjun Sees a Link Between Pope Leo and Bitcoin

    What does Pope Leo's first AI encyclical have to do with the Bitcoin white paper? Arjun Sethi, co-CEO of Kraken, traces a philosophical thread from Augustine's City of God through Catholic social teaching's subsidiarity principle to Satoshi's monetary architecture. Austin Campbell finds the same argument in the Federalist Papers. Ram Ahluwalia brings in Immanuel Kant and the Tower of Babel. And Chris Perkins asks the question the whole room is thinking: is the Pope into DeFi? Hosts:  @austincampbell, @perkinscr97, @ramahluwalia Guest: @arjunsethi This clip is from a longer conversation on Kraken's global strategy, tokenized equities, and the SEC's paused innovation exemption.

    Kevin Warsh Takes Over the Fed. Here's What He Actually Can Do

    Kevin Warsh is confirmed as Fed chair today. He says he wants a smaller balance sheet, fewer dot plots, less forward guidance, and new ways to measure inflation. In this clip, Noelle Acheson tells Steve Ehrlich why the bond market will veto the balance sheet goal, why fewer FOMC press conferences may increase volatility rather than reduce noise, and why the most likely outcome for the next few Fed meetings is no hike and no cut — giving Warsh room to build trust within the FOMC before he can move on anything structural. Host: Steve Ehrlich | Head of Research, Sharplink Guest: Noelle Acheson | Author, Crypto Is Macro Now This clip is from a longer conversation on bond yields, Kevin Warsh's Fed, and the macro outlook for Bitcoin.

    Structural Stimulus Has Replaced the TACO Trade

    The TACO trade — the assumption that Trump will always walk back market damage — is temporary. The BLISS trade is not. In this clip, Noelle Acheson explains Gita Gopinath's thesis from the Financial Times: no government, regardless of political party or political system, will be voted out for spending to protect citizens from hardship. The put under markets is now structural. Noelle and Steve Ehrlich work through what that means for currency debasement, moral hazard, and why risk-on appetite is so strong in such an uncertain environment. Host: Steve Ehrlich | Head of Research, Sharplink Guest: Noelle Acheson | Author, Crypto Is Macro Now This clip is from a longer conversation on bond yields, Kevin Warsh's Fed, and the macro outlook for Bitcoin.

    Why Agents Will Ditch Stablecoins That Don't Pay Yield

    If the risk is the same, why would any rational agent choose a stablecoin that pays nothing over a money market fund that does?  In this clip, Chris Perkins puts the question directly to Circle’s Gordon Liao, who walks through USYC — Circle's yield-bearing instrument — and the seamless toggle between it and USDC.  Austin Campbell frames the winners as "transformers": platforms that can move fluidly between yield and liquidity states. The answer matters for every wallet, exchange, and agentic commerce stack being built right now.   Hosts: Austin Campbell @austincampbell | Ram Ahluwalia @ramahluwalia | Chris Perkins @perkinscr97 Guest: Gordon Liao, Chief Economist and Head of Research at Circle   This clip is from a longer conversation on USDC, the CLARITY Act, and rising bond yields.

    Will On-Chain Repo Reach $1 Trillion? One Reason Yes, One Reason No

    Matteo Pandolfi of Pareto puts a number on the table: on-chain repo reaches $1 trillion within five years. He makes the case using the current pipeline of traditional institutions entering the space and the hybrid infrastructure model that does not require full on-chain execution. Craig Burchell of FalconX gives you both sides. The bull case: the facilities are already being built, the demand is real, and you are watching it happen in real time. The bear case: the standardization problem. The reason centrally cleared repo works in TradFi is that everything operates under the same agreement and can be automated like clockwork. Getting an entire ecosystem on a standardized on-chain repo form is a gargantuan challenge. On-chain is probably one of the best places to try, but that is still essentially standing up a new exchange from scratch. To open the segment, Craig walks through the Aave deleveraging crisis as the clearest example of what a mature on-chain repo market changes: nobody wanted to sell their positions. They needed short-term liquidity. The cascade did not have to happen. This clip is from a longer conversation on bringing the repo market on-chain.
