Will Peck: How WisdomTree Went From $30M To Over $1 Billion Onchain (Full Breakdown) Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

WisdomTree's Head of Digital Asset's Will Peck joins us for Episode #1 of Convergence, our new institutional product for sophisticated investors in partnership with Jacquelyn Melinek and StrataMedia.

WisdomTree's onchain assets went from $30 million to over $1 billion, and Will Peck says money market funds did the heavy lifting. On episode one of Convergence, Will explains why tokenized funds complement stablecoins rather than compete with them, and how WisdomTree got SEC exemptive relief to let a tokenized money market fund trade 24/7 through a broker dealer. He also pushes back on the private-markets tokenization thesis, arguing illiquidity isn't a record-keeping problem.

Will Peck is the Head of Digital Assets at WisdomTree, a global asset manager and ETF sponsor with roughly $170 billion in assets under management.

Convergence is powered by The Rollup and StrataMedia, covering the convergence of legacy finance and onchain finance.

You can stack multiple positions on the same token balance instead of babysitting a dozen pools, and your tokens never leave your wallet. Your liquidity stays awake, so you can catch up on your sleep. Check it out at https://1inch.com/aqua

CMS Holdings: The Next Bull Market Is Upon Us (How To Position For Success) Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

CMS Holdings operator Dan joins us for a conversation about positioning for the next bull market.

Tokenized equities end up bigger than stablecoins, and Dan Matuszewski thinks most people have the reason wrong. It isn't about 24/7 trading or DeFi composability. It's that an enormous share of the world wants to own Nvidia and structurally can't, exactly the gap Tether filled for dollars. He also pushes back on the barbell everyone's crowding into, and makes the contrarian case that L1s are underrated because nobody can articulate why you'd own them.

Dan Matuszewski is the Co-Founder of CMS Holdings and previously ran one of crypto's largest OTC trading desks.

Sam Kazemian & Raagulan Pathy: Why Neo Banks Are Quietly Selling Themselves (Full Interview) Sep 13, 2026

Show notes

Raagulan Pathy says KAST becomes a $100 billion company or it fails outright. There's no in-between, and he explains exactly why on this episode.

John Gillen: Ethereum Will Fly From Here And Most Investors Aren't Ready (Here's Why) Sep 12, 2026

John Gillen says Ethereum could hit $4,000 before the end of the year, and he's been making that case in a viral essay series called Wartime Ethereum.

Felix Jauvin: Why The Fiat Debasement Trade Is Set To Explode Soon (Full Portfolio Construction) Sep 10, 2026

Show notes

Felix Jauvin says he's as bullish as he ever has been on digital assets and thinks the bottom is in.

He's also been quietly rotating Bitcoin into Zcash and he lays out exactly why. The Blockworks Head of Content walks through the SEC's new tokenization exemption, why he thinks 75% of crypto tokens still have no real claim on value, his read on whether the Fed hikes in September. He explains Bessent's bond buying & the relationship with the Fed & Treasury.

We end up discussing the barbell portfolio he's building around Bitcoin, Gold, and Zcash and revenue-producing onchain businesses like Hyperliquid, Lighter, PUMP and others.

Felix Jauvin is Head of Content at Blockworks and the network's in-house macro voice, covering the intersection of crypto, monetary policy, and on-chain finance.

Dan Held: SpaceX Will Hit $100 Trillion Market Cap In 20 Years (The Detailed Thesis) Sep 09, 2026

Show notes

Dan Held joins us to unpack what it means to become a generational investor in today's world. For reference, he bought Bitcoin in 2012 and recently sold a lot to pour it into SpaceX, and says the thesis has barely started.

The longtime Bitcoin investor lays out why Starship's collapsing launch costs could unlock a total addressable market bigger than global GDP, why he thinks this cycle just bottomed at $81,000 on the back of the Fed's bond-buying, and why Zcash's run looks more like a crowded trade than a real discount.

Dan Held is an independent investor and Bitcoin OG who bought his first coin in 2012, previously led growth at Kraken, and has spent over a decade publicly calling market cycles.

Arthur Hayes: Ethereum Will Outperform The Entire Market (It’s My Biggest Position) Sep 07, 2026

Show notes

Arthur Hayes joins us for a session to understand the underlying economic forces leading to a massive digital assets bull market in the coming months and years.

The money printer is about to flip back on and Arthur Hayes says the Euro/Yen exchange rate is the tell everyone's missing. He gets into why Japan's forced unwinding of its massive carry trade, combined with France's brewing bond market crisis, all but guarantees a faster pace of dollar liquidity creation. He also makes the case that AI's unit economics problem becomes the government's next excuse to print more fueling the fiat debasement thesis further. He explains his positioning in the market and reveals why Ethereum is Maelstrom's largest position heading into this cycle.

Jake Chervinsky: Hyperliquid Is Set To Enter The US Market Imminently (Necessary Steps Explained) Sep 07, 2026

Show notes

Jake Chervinsky joins us in the Tokenization Tower to explain the path for Hyperliquid to enter the US markets.

Trump said "Hyperliquid" on national television and Jake Chervinsky was there to watch it happen live. He explains why perpetual futures are already coming to the US through the CFTC, why Hyperliquid is infrastructure rather than a competitor to exchanges like Coinbase and CME, and why the silver and oil market breakouts proved this technology is bigger than crypto. He also unpacks the new Circle-Hyperliquid stablecoin fee deal and makes the case that CLARITY Act-style comprehensive legislation may be dead, in favor of narrow, GENIUS Act-style bills targeting specific proven products.

Jake Chervinsky is the CEO of the Hyperliquid Policy Center, leading the effort to bring onchain derivatives markets into US regulatory compliance.

SEC Crypto Chief Counsel: Robinhood Stock Tokens Are Just The Beginning (Our Pro-Innovation Mindset) Sep 06, 2026

Show notes

Taylor Lindman calls in during a pivotal moment of Robinhood Chain stock token mania to debrief us on how the SEC is approaching tokenization.

He explains how Reg Crypto could be the biggest shakeup to token fundraising since the JOBS Act and Taylor Lindman just laid out exactly how it works. She breaks down why tokenized "stock tokens" from Robinhood and others are legally structured more like debt instruments than equity, and unpacks the SEC's new proposal for progressive decentralization: a real checklist that lets a token graduate out of securities law entirely once a project delivers on its promises.

Show notes

Ryan Watkins joins the show for an updated view on the digital assets bull market

Are traders are about to become bigger celebrities than athletes? Well, maybe or maybe not.

He breaks down why Hyperliquid's real endgame was always taking share from Binance and Coinbase, not just onchain rivals, and makes the case that barbell portfolio of store-of-value assets and revenue-generating businesses is only getting started.
