Ep. 742 Why Only a Few Crypto Assets Are Still Investable with FalconX Aug 11, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Josh Lim, Global Co-Head of Markets at FalconX, joins from the Out East Summit to break down how crypto market structure is evolving as liquidity, institutions, and tokenization mature. He explains why crypto has shifted from a frontier asset class into a technology layer for payments, market infrastructure, and traditional finance rails. The conversation covers the 10/10 liquidation event, thinning altcoin liquidity, what makes a token truly investable, Bitcoin’s role as collateral and a potential flight-to-safety asset, and why stablecoins, payments, speculation markets, and major L1s are where investors are focusing.

Crypto Rundown: 10x Winners & How to Find Them Aug 07, 2026

Show notes

In this Crypto Rundown, Tevo and Brian McNutt break down a choppy but improving crypto market, with Bitcoin holding in the mid-$60,000 range, Ethereum gaining more institutional momentum, and Solana continuing to show signs of activity. They discuss the Clarity Act vote being pushed back to September, why the market may have already priced in the delay, and why crypto could still move forward through SEC and CFTC action even without immediate legislation. The episode also covers Tom Lee’s thesis that crypto is downstream from AI, the rise of on-chain financial apps, tokenized equities, meme coins paired with stocks, and Robinhood Chain bringing new energy back into the trenches.
