From Mortgages to Auto Loans: Figure’s Plan to Revolutionize Finance

Figure CEO Michael Tannenbaum joins the show to discuss the company’s rapid growth since going public and why he believes blockchain is transforming the future of capital markets. As one of the standout IPO performers of 2025, Figure is using blockchain technology to modernize the mortgage industry by dramatically cutting origination costs and speeding up loan processing times. Tannenbaum explains how the company has built a marketplace of hundreds of partners that use its platform to originate mortgage assets more efficiently, while also expanding into new areas like auto loans as it broadens its reach across consumer lending.

Tannenbaum also breaks down the bigger picture of what blockchain-based capital markets could look like in the years ahead faster, more transparent, more liquid, and far less vulnerable to inefficiencies and fraud. From reducing third-party diligence costs to preventing issues like double-pledging of assets, he outlines how blockchain rails can reshape how loans move through the financial system. He also discusses how Figure is navigating regulation through multiple licensing frameworks and why the company is focused on innovating within the current rules while helping push financial infrastructure into the next generation.

Rising Yields and Slowing Growth: Bonds Regain Appeal Amid Market Turmoil

Mike Goosay, the CIO and Global Head of Fixed Income at Principal Asset Management, joins Remy Blaire to dive into the current state of the financial markets, focusing on the impact of the ongoing Iran War and its influence on oil prices, which have surged to around $1.10 for Brent and over $100 for WTI. We discuss the recent volatility in the stock market, highlighted by the VIX soaring past $30 and the S&P 500 experiencing its longest losing streak since 2022.

We explore the challenges of assessing the economy’s trajectory amidst rising concerns about global growth. Mike outlines three potential scenarios regarding the Iranian conflict: a quick resolution, a prolonged stalemate, or a more severe escalation involving military intervention. He emphasizes that the market’s focus is shifting towards demand destruction and the implications for employment.

We also touch on the recent spike in the 30-year yield, which approached the 5% mark, and discuss how inflation expectations are affecting the long end of the yield curve. Mike shares insights on the value in the bond market, particularly for municipal bonds, and the potential risks in consumer discretionary sectors if the labor market deteriorates.

As we look ahead to a holiday-shortened week in the U.S., we highlight the importance of the upcoming employment report and its potential impact on yields. Mike believes that a weakening labor market could provide the Federal Reserve with the justification to lower policy rates later this year.

The Impact of Middle East Conflict on Global Markets: A Deep Dive with Joe Brusuelas

Joe Brusuelas, Principal and Chief Economist for RSM US LLP, joins Remy Blaire to delve into the current economic landscape, particularly in light of the escalating conflict in the Middle East and its implications for global markets. With oil prices soaring above $100 a barrel and the VIX reaching its highest level in nearly a year, we discuss the potential macro regime change that Wall Street is eyeing.

Joe provides insights into the bond market’s response to the ongoing war and the anticipated economic slowdown, especially in Asia and Europe. Joe highlights that while U.S. stock futures may show some optimism, the S&P 500 has experienced its longest losing streak since 2022, and the Nasdaq has entered correction territory.

We explore the Federal Reserve’s likely stance moving forward, with Joe suggesting that the Fed should remain patient and refrain from making any immediate moves. He emphasizes the challenges posed by the current supply shock and the uncertainty surrounding the war’s duration.

As we look ahead to the upcoming nonfarm payrolls report, Joe shares his expectations for the unemployment rate and the overall labor market, noting that while there may be some job growth, the underlying issues in private sector hiring remain concerning.

Finally, we discuss the impact of rising gasoline prices on American households and the broader economy. Joe explains how increases in oil prices can affect GDP and inflation, urging listeners to consider practical ways to manage their expenses during this turbulent time.

Navigating Market Turbulence: Insights on U.S. Equities and Commodities

Otavio Costa, founder and CEO of Azuria Capital, joins Remy Blaire to discuss the current state of U.S. markets, which are opening higher after a challenging sell-off last week that pushed the Dow and Nasdaq into correction territory. The ongoing Iran war has been a significant geopolitical factor affecting equities, and we see a notable rotation out of the Magnificent Seven stocks. While oil prices have surged, we explore opportunities in agricultural commodities, which have recently broken out of long-standing resistance levels.

Otavio believes that the recent selling has been overdone and highlights a compelling macro trade in long U.S. Treasuries, anticipating a significant drop in interest rates. He also discusses the resilience of gold miners, noting that they are still profitable at current gold prices, and emphasizes the potential for these companies to outperform the metals themselves.

We delve into the agricultural commodities space, where Otavio expresses optimism about wheat, corn, and sugar, all of which are showing strong upward momentum. He warns, however, about the societal implications of rising agricultural prices on food costs, especially in light of existing inequality issues.

Shifting focus to emerging markets, Tavi highlights Brazil’s potential as a significant beneficiary of the commodity boom, given its diverse exposure to various sectors. He sees a major opportunity for investment in Brazil and Latin America over the next decade, especially if there are positive political shifts.

The Rise of Prediction Markets: Unpacking the $20 Billion Surge

Ari Redbord, the Global Head of Policy at TRM Labs, joins Remy Blaire to discuss the growth of prediction markets, which have surged from $1.2 billion a month to over $20 billion in just a year. Ari sheds light on the factors driving this growth, particularly the influence of high-stakes geopolitical events and macroeconomic factors.

Ari discusses a recent analysis by TRM Labs that identified suspicious trading patterns ahead of U.S. airstrikes in Iran, raising concerns about potential market manipulation and insider trading. We explore the implications of this activity, especially in the context of how prediction markets differ from traditional securities markets.

We also touch on the role of high-frequency trading and algorithms in shaping market dynamics, and the challenges regulators face in keeping pace with these rapid developments. Ari emphasizes the need for a regulatory framework that can address both the gambling aspects of prediction markets and their classification as futures contracts.

As we look to the future, we discuss the proactive measures being taken by platforms like PolyMarket and Kalshi to combat trading based on non-public information. Ari shares insights on the potential for self-regulation within these platforms, while acknowledging that regulatory oversight is inevitable.

Finally, we delve into the intersection of artificial intelligence and blockchain, highlighting TRM Labs’ new AI assistant, Co-Case Agent, designed to assist law enforcement in tracking illicit crypto activities. Ari underscores the urgency for regulators to adapt to the fast-evolving landscape of crypto and AI, as we navigate this complex and rapidly changing environment.

Oil, Interest Rates, and War: What’s Driving Market Volatility

Senior Market Strategist at the New York Stock Exchange, Michael Reinking, breaks down the market’s turbulence amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and volatile oil prices. He explains why investors are showing risk aversion, with the S&P 500 experiencing its fifth consecutive week of declines, a 9% drop from its all-time high and why technical indicators suggest markets may be approaching a short-term oversold condition. Rankin also highlights the impact of rising oil prices, which not only affect fuel costs but also feed into broader inflationary pressures and influence interest rate sensitivity, creating a challenging environment for markets to stabilize.

Reinking points out that true relief in oil market volatility will depend on developments in key geopolitical flashpoints, such as the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, and negotiations with Iran. Until then, the combination of geopolitical uncertainty, choppy oil markets, and rising interest rates is likely to keep market swings elevated. This conversation provides a clear view of what investors should be watching in the near term as they navigate one of the more turbulent periods for global markets in recent memory.

Revolutionizing Satellites & the Future of Space Defense

York Space Systems is looking to shake up the aerospace and defense industry after its $630 million IPO, with CEO Dirk Wallinger outlining a faster, lower-cost model for building satellite constellations at scale. In this conversation, Wallinger explains how York is moving away from the traditional model of massive, multi-billion-dollar satellites and instead producing large numbers of smaller, more affordable satellites that can work together to deliver the same or even better capabilities. From communications and Earth observation to synthetic aperture radar and secure communications, the company is positioning itself at the center of a rapidly evolving space and defense landscape.

Wallinger also highlights the growing demand for proliferated space systems, especially as geopolitical tensions and modern warfare increase the need for resilient space infrastructure. He discusses York’s strong backlog, the importance of government and commercial funding to accelerate deployment, and the company’s recent $187 million commercial deal tied to a constellation of more than 20 satellites. As defense priorities shift and space becomes more contested, York is betting that speed, scalability, and distributed satellite networks will define the next era of aerospace and national security.

How Presidio Is Using AI to Transform Oil & Gas After Its IPO

Presidio is back at the NYSE celebrating its IPO milestone, and Chairman, Co-Founder, and Co-CEO Will Ulrich says the moment is about more than just business growth, it’s about sharing the achievement with employees, families, and the next generation. In this conversation, Ulrich explains how Presidio is taking a very different approach to the oil and gas sector by focusing not on drilling new wells, but on generating stronger cash flow from existing assets. By using technology and AI to optimize production, the company says it can improve performance, increase efficiency, and deliver strong returns to investors.

Ulrich also breaks down how Presidio is applying AI in practical ways, including identifying production inefficiencies and helping field teams prioritize the wells that need attention most. He says the company is targeting a 3–5% production increase this year without major capital spending, while also pursuing a massive pipeline of acquisition opportunities. With billions of dollars in potential deals on the table and ambitions to grow EBITDA from roughly $115 million to $1 billion over the next several years, Presidio is positioning itself as a unique player at the intersection of energy, data, and disciplined capital allocation.

Why Coinbase Is Doubling Down on the UAE Amid Middle East Tensions

Despite ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, institutional capital continues to show confidence in the UAE, with Abu Dhabi and Dubai reinforcing their roles as major hubs for global finance and digital assets. In this conversation, Coinbase Institutional’s John D’Agostino explains why the company remains deeply committed to the region, highlighting its growing presence through its acquisition of Deribit and its regulatory ambitions in Abu Dhabi. He points to the UAE’s forward-thinking regulatory environment, strong banking infrastructure, sovereign wealth capital, and long-term institutional loyalty as key reasons the region continues to stand out on the global financial stage.

D’Agostino also shares why he believes the UAE is built to not only withstand periods of uncertainty, but emerge stronger from them. From the rise of dirham-backed stablecoins and the strength of Abu Dhabi’s financial ecosystem to the world-class talent that has relocated there since COVID, he makes the case that the UAE has become one of the most compelling places in the world to build in finance and crypto. He closes with a broader message on career growth, opportunity, and why the region represents “optionality” for the next generation of ambitious builders and investors.

The Rise of Tokenization: How Financial Institutions are Adapting to a New Era

Gurpreet Oberoi, Head of Institutional at Kraken, joins Remy Blaire at the Digital Asset Summit 2026 in New York City to discuss the significant shift in institutional adoption of digital assets over the past few years. Gurpreet highlights that institutions, including asset managers and global banks, are no longer just exploring digital assets; they are actively developing strategies to integrate them into their operations.

We delve into the evolving perception of crypto among traditional financial institutions, which now view it as a vital component of their portfolios, akin to commodities. With the rise of digital asset firms, traditional banks are feeling the pressure to offer similar products to retain their wealth management clients.

A key topic was the concept of tokenization, which Gurpreet believes is on the verge of becoming a reality in 2026, much like stablecoins did a few years prior. He explains how tokenization can enhance liquidity and create new opportunities for financial products, allowing institutions to earn fees and innovate further.

As we reflect on the changes in the digital asset landscape from last year to now, Gurpreet notes a shift towards partnership approaches among firms, emphasizing the need for rapid implementation of digital asset strategies. Looking ahead, Kraken is focused on growth across various verticals, including qualified custody, staking, and tokenization.
