Navigating the Future of Finance: Stablecoins and Tokenization in 2026

Glen Sussman, CEO of the Tassat Group joins Remy Blaire to discuss the evolving landscape of digital assets, particularly focusing on stablecoins and tokenization. We discuss the significant regulatory changes that have taken place, including the passage of the Genius Act, which has shifted the conversation from uncertainty to a more structured framework for stablecoins.

Glen highlights the impressive growth of stablecoins, which have surged from $200 billion in January 2025 to nearly $300 billion in January 2026, with a substantial portion being USD-denominated. He also shares insights on the SEC’s recent guidance that allows broker-dealers to treat stablecoins as near-cash equivalents, further encouraging institutional adoption.

We explore the ongoing innovation in financial solutions, particularly around real-time tokenized systems that integrate with traditional financial infrastructure. Glenn draws an interesting parallel to the cable industry’s transition to streaming, suggesting that while the upgrade in finance may happen more quickly due to software-driven systems, the legacy infrastructure poses significant challenges.

As we wrap up, we discuss the implications of stablecoin adoption for American consumers and the potential for a robust stablecoin ecosystem that enhances our financial system rather than disrupts it. Glenn also shares his vision for the future of tokenization, emphasizing compliance, efficiency, and systemic stability as key focus areas.

Market Sentiment and Prediction Markets: Analyzing the State of Crypto in 2026

Adam Morgan McCarthy, Senior Research Analyst at Kaiko joins Remy Blaire to provide valuable insights into the current bear market in crypto. Adam explains that the recent downturn was triggered by structural market issues and a liquidity event, highlighting the fragility of the crypto market despite its maturation over the years. He notes that the narrative surrounding Bitcoin, particularly the ETF hype, has lost momentum, leading to decreased liquidity and increased vulnerability to downturns.

We also discuss prediction markets in light of the recent State of the Union address, where Adam shares his perspective on their reliability as macro signals versus high-speed retail sentiment. He points out that most trades on these platforms are under $100, suggesting they may serve more as a reflection of public sentiment rather than serious institutional investment.

Finally, we touch on the surge in stablecoin dominance, which is nearing the 11% mark seen during the 2022 crash. Adam attributes this to Bitcoin’s volatility, as investors seek safety in stablecoins while the market remains uncertain. He also shares some technical price levels to watch for Bitcoin, indicating that if it approaches the $55,000 to $50,000 range, it could signal a potential bottom.

Trump’s State of the Union: Domestic Focus Amidst Global Trade Challenges

In this episode, we dive into the highlights of the recent State of the Union address, which was notably the longest in history. President Trump focused on domestic issues but surprisingly omitted any mention of America’s economic competition with China. Brendan Ahern, CIO at CraneShares, joins Remy Blaire to discuss the implications of this, especially in light of Trump’s upcoming trip to China and the potential for expanded trade deals.

We also explore the recent Supreme Court ruling that struck down emergency tariffs, leading to a 10% tax on nearly all imports. Brendan shares insights on how this uncertainty affects long-term trade relationships, particularly with China, and the impact on U.S. consumers.

As we look ahead to Nvidia’s earnings report, we touch on the so-called “SaaSpocalypse” and Trump’s new ratepayer protection pledge, which requires tech companies to cover higher electricity costs in areas where new AI data centers are built. Brendan emphasizes the importance of addressing voter concerns about rising electricity prices due to AI-driven demand.

Additionally, we discuss the controversy surrounding Anthropic and its accusations against several Chinese AI startups for improper use of its cloud model. Brendan provides a nuanced perspective on the growth of AI in China, highlighting the significant contributions of Chinese STEM graduates.

Finally, we reflect on recent market movements and the rapid shifts in investor sentiment regarding risk, particularly in the context of AI and software companies. Brendan notes the ongoing debate within Craneshares about the future of software in light of AI advancements and the potential margin pressures these companies may face.

Coinbase’s 24/5 Stock Trading: A Step Towards Super Apps and Market Accessibility

John D’Agostino, Head of Strategy for Coinbase Institutional, joins Remy Blaire to discuss the recent launch of 24/5 stock trading on Coinbase and its implications for the future of market accessibility. John highlights how technology is breaking down traditional market separations, allowing for greater convenience and efficiency in trading various assets.

We also delve into the current state of Bitcoin, which, despite a recent surge, is facing its worst month since June 2022. John emphasizes the importance of sticking to one’s trading thesis while remaining open to new evidence, arguing that the narrative around Bitcoin hasn’t fundamentally changed despite the negative press. He points out that the crypto industry is still in its early stages, with increasing adoption from banks and governments.

Additionally, we discuss the growing significance of stablecoins, particularly in their real-world applications. John notes that while some in the crypto community may find stablecoins less exciting, they represent a crucial advancement in blockchain-based value transfer systems. He emphasizes the transformative potential of stablecoins for businesses and individuals who rely on faster, more secure transactions.

Tariffs, Economy, and the State of the Union: Insights from Mark Hamrick

Mark Hamrick, a Senior Economic Analyst at Bankrate joins Remy Blaire to provide valuable insights into the current economic landscape. We delve into the implications of the recent State of the Union address and the ongoing tariff discussions.

We begin by discussing the confusion surrounding the administration’s tariff policies, particularly the recent increase in U.S. tariff rates for certain countries. Mark highlights the volatility and uncertainty this creates for American businesses and consumers, especially with midterm elections approaching. He emphasizes that tariffs are not popular among the public, which complicates the administration’s approach.

Despite President Trump’s claims of a “roaring” economy, Mark points out that recent data, including a disappointing GDP growth rate of 1.4% for Q4, does not support this narrative. He notes that while some sectors are performing well, many others are struggling, and the overall economic outlook remains lackluster.

We also touch on the housing market, where lower mortgage rates have not yet translated into increased activity. Mark explains that while the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate has dropped to a three-year low, the housing market remains frozen. He warns that increased competition for limited housing supply could lead to rising prices later this year.

Finally, we discuss the future of the Federal Reserve under Jerome Powell’s leadership and the potential transition to Kevin Warsh as the new chair. Mark stresses the importance of data in guiding the Fed’s decisions, particularly regarding inflation.

Understanding ETF Taxes: Insights from LionShares CEO Sofia Massie

In this episode, we dive into the complexities of taxes for investors as we approach the 2025 tax deadline. With major equity averages experiencing double-digit gains, understanding the tax implications of ETF dividends is crucial. Sofia Massie, founder and CEO of LionShares joins Remy Blaire to discuss the novel ETF strategy designed to provide tax-efficient exposure to the total U.S. stock market.

Sofia explains that many investors are unaware that ETFs can pay dividends, which may be taxed at various levels, potentially impacting their after-tax returns significantly. LionShares has developed a unique approach that allows investors to keep returns within the fund, aiming to eliminate taxable events for investors. This proactive strategy encourages investors to consider tax implications before making investment decisions, rather than reacting when tax season arrives.

We also discuss the advantages of compounding returns within the fund versus paying out dividends, highlighting how taxes can erode investment performance over time. Sofia believes that this innovative ETF strategy, represented by their ticker TOT, has the potential to gain popularity and could even lead to the creation of similar products tracking other asset classes.

The Evolution of Hagerty: Building a Global Ecosystem for Car Enthusiasts

On this episode Hagerty CEO McKeel Hagerty, shared the evolution of the family business since its 1984 launch. Originally focused on insuring wooden boats, the company has grown into a full ecosystem for enthusiast vehicles, covering insurance, membership through the Hagerty Drivers Club, and an auction platform for buying and selling collectible cars. The U.S. collector car market alone boasts over 35 million vehicles, with values steadily appreciating over time. Classic car collectors are typically mid-career, with discretionary income, and these vehicles are often purchased for enjoyment rather than daily transport.

Hagerty’s 2026 Bull Market List highlights 11 standout vehicles across categories, including high-performance icons like the Porsche Carrera GT, driver favorites like the Mazda Miata and BMW M5, and notable modern classics such as the Corvette C6 Z06. The list also reflects a growing trend in collectible trucks and SUVs, including a Chevrolet high-performance pickup and a Dodge Ram Charger. Additionally, vintage classics like the Continental Mark II cater to the next generation of collectors, bridging past and present automotive enthusiasm. McKeel Hagerty emphasizes that the collector car market continues to grow, with the next generation showing strong interest, making this a thrilling time for automotive enthusiasts.

AI Market Shock: Why Investors Are Suddenly Rethinking the Trade

Phil Rosen, co-founder of Opening Bell Daily and host of Full Signal, joins the program to break down the recent volatility shaking AI-driven markets. He explains how a provocative hypothetical report from Citrini Research rattled investors by imagining a future where artificial intelligence becomes so powerful it disrupts jobs, growth, and valuations triggering billions in market-cap losses before a swift rebound. Rosen says the reaction highlights just how sensitive markets are to shifts in the AI narrative, comparing the moment to last year’s shockwaves tied to DeepSeek. He argues that while AI could reduce hiring in some sectors through productivity gains, history suggests new industries and roles will emerge over time. Still, he cautions that valuations remain “on a knife’s edge,” noting that sentiment can swing dramatically even from a single post on Substack and that volatility is likely to persist, especially with major catalysts ahead such as earnings from Nvidia, which he says could set the tone for markets in the weeks to come.

How to Trade the 2026 Volatility: RDS Wealth’s CEO Playbook

RDS Wealth founder and CEO Dale Smothers joins the show to break down the latest market rally, explaining why he believes the recent rebound could continue following upcoming earnings from Nvidia. He argues that recent selling in software stocks appears to be an overreaction, noting that emerging AI players like Anthropic are more likely to partner with existing tech leaders than replace them. Smothers maintains that the broader bull market thesis remains intact and expects the S&P 500 to finish the year higher, though he cautions investors to prepare for significant volatility, especially around the midterm election cycle. He also discusses policy risks, including tariff uncertainty tied to actions from Donald Trump and legal challenges involving the Supreme Court of the United States, which could either pressure markets or create a tailwind if companies receive refunds on previously collected tariffs. From a strategy perspective, Smothers says his firm favors equal-weight exposure across the market while selectively buying dips in major tech names such as Amazon and Microsoft, while closely watching commentary from Jensen Huang as a key signal for near-term market direction.

Headquartered in Chicago, the company positions itself as the largest healthcare educator in the United States, producing a significant share of the nation’s nurses and veterinarians, and aims to drive long-term profitability through program expansion, increased enrolment, and deeper employer partnerships that could reshape healthcare talent pipelines.
