Jay Woods Warns Market Relief Rally Isn’t the All-Clear Yet

On this episode, markets staged a modest relief rally after four straight down weeks, but Jay Woods of Freedom Capital Markets says investors should stay cautious. He points to the S&P 500’s recent low near 6,500 as a critical support level and says the market must reclaim the 200-day moving average around 6,630 to signal that the broader trend is stabilizing. Until then, traders remain on edge as volatility and headline risk continue to drive price action.

Woods says the next big moves in stocks will likely depend on oil prices, Treasury yields, and geopolitical developments surrounding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. He highlights energy, materials, staples, and even PFE as areas to watch in this environment, while warning that higher gas prices could start to weigh on consumer spending, inflation, and growth. With unemployment data and the Fed’s next decision ahead, the market is now balancing the risk of slower growth, sticky inflation, and a more complicated interest-rate outlook.

Circle plunges, Invesco tokenization, NYSE tokenization, Bitcoin shift

Circle Internet Group fell roughly 19% after a draft of the Clarity Act surfaced, which would ban interest or yield on passive stablecoin balances. The proposed rules target structures economically equivalent to interest, directly threatening the yield incentives that have driven USDC adoption. Coinbase also dropped 11% in sympathy, given its role as Circle’s primary USDC distribution partner and the $364 million in stablecoin revenue it reported in Q4 2025. In other news, Invesco has been named investment manager for SuperState’s tokenized US Treasury Fund (USTB), overseeing day-to-day management of nearly $1 billion in on-chain assets while leaving the blockchain infrastructure in the hands of its creator. The fund, currently at $967 million, ranks among the five largest tokenized Treasury products globally. Meanwhile, the New York Stock Exchange announced a partnership with Securitize to develop its tokenized securities trading platform. Securitize will become the NYSE’s first digital transfer agent, enabling the issuance and management of stock and ETF shares as blockchain-based tokens in a compliant way. Finally, Bernstein projects Bitcoin could reach $150,000 by the end of 2026, citing a shift toward institutional ownership, long-term holder concentration, and growing ETF adoption as stabilizing forces, challenging fears that the four-year cycle peaked in 2025. These are the key headlines shaping the crypto market today.

Anthony highlights Bitcoin’s evolving role as both a store of value and a medium of exchange, especially through innovations like the Lightning Network. He also explores the convergence of AI and blockchain, the growth of stablecoins, and the opportunities emerging markets have in leveraging digital assets. From institutional adoption to the future of payments and agentic finance, Anthony provides insights into how the crypto ecosystem is maturing and what to watch in the months ahead.

Crypto Regulation & the Clarity Act: What’s Next for Stablecoins and DeFi

Crypto clarity is inching forward as the Senate reportedly reaches a deal on the Clarity Act, which would prevent stablecoin issuers from paying yield to holders, a move that sent Circle shares tumbling to their worst day ever. At the same time, the SEC has sent two regulatory proposals to the White House aimed at easing rules for both crypto and Wall Street. At the BlockWorks Digital Asset Summit 2026 in New York City, Ron Hammond, Head of Policy and Advocacy at Wintermute, joins to break down the evolving regulatory landscape, including SEC Chair Paul Atkins’ push for an innovation exemption to spur DeFi development. From tokenization trends and institutional adoption to prediction markets and the ongoing lobbying battle in D.C., we explore how policy, regulation, and innovation are shaping the next phase of crypto. Hammond also weighs in on how these developments impact both retail and institutional players, and why 2026 could be a pivotal year for digital assets as the U.S. works toward clearer rules and wider adoption.

NYSE Partners with Securitize to Launch 24/7 Tokenized Stocks & ETFs

The markets are buzzing as the opening bell rings at the New York Stock Exchange, and crypto is making waves with Bitcoin holding above $71,800 and Ether up over 3%. US stock indices are climbing, driven by hopes for de-escalation in the Middle East, with the Dow Jones up over 500 points, the Nasdaq rising 250 points, and the S&P 500 gaining 1%. Meanwhile, oil prices are pulling back sharply, with WTI under $88 and Brent below $100 per barrel. Amid this backdrop, the NYSE has partnered with Securitize to develop a digital tokenization platform, making Securitize the exchange’s first digital transfer agent. This collaboration enables the issuance and trading of equities and ETFs as digital tokens, promising 24/7 trading, instant settlements, and even stablecoin-funded trades. Joining in on this episode at Digital Asset Summit 2026, Carlos Domingo, co-founder and CEO of Securitize, who explains how this innovation opens new opportunities for retail investors and institutions alike, highlights tokenization and stablecoins as major industry narratives, and he shares why he is optimistic about 2026 and beyond despite recent market volatility.

Bitcoin, Stablecoins & the Future of Crypto

On this episode, Ryan Rasmussen, Head of Research at Bitwise Asset Management, explores how digital assets are responding in real time to a market environment shaped by geopolitical uncertainty, shifting regulation, and accelerating institutional adoption. As volatility continues across crypto, equities, and commodities, Ryan breaks down what’s behind the recent price action in Bitcoin and why Bitwise still sees the current drawdown and sideways movement as a compelling long-term opportunity for investors. He explains how Bitcoin’s role is evolving beyond short-term market swings, especially as it increasingly behaves like a 24/7 macro signal during periods when traditional markets are closed.

The discussion also dives into the structural trends Ryan believes will define the next decade of crypto growth: stablecoins, tokenization, regulatory clarity, and institutional capital flows. He explains why these three forces remain the clearest signals in an otherwise noisy market and why they could play a major role in shaping the future of financial infrastructure. The interview takes a closer look at Circle Internet Group and why Bitwise views it as one of the strongest public market plays on the stablecoin boom, even as policy debates around the Clarity Act and stablecoin yield continue to evolve. Ryan shares why regulated, institution-friendly stablecoin issuers may be especially well-positioned as governments and financial institutions move toward compliant blockchain-based payment systems.

The conversation also touches on where institutional money could flow next if regulatory momentum continues, with a strong focus on tokenized assets, stablecoin payments, and crypto investment vehicles like ETFs. Finally, Ryan walks through Bitwise’s bold long-term view on Bitcoin and why the firm believes it could reach $1 million over the next decade. From ETF adoption and fiat debasement concerns to Bitcoin’s expanding role as a store of value, this interview offers a clear look at the macro forces driving digital assets forward and why some of the biggest opportunities in crypto may still be ahead.

Self-Driving Money: How AI & Stablecoins Could Transform Finance

At Digital Asset Summit 2026 in New York City, the conversation is shifting from self-driving cars to something potentially even more transformative: self-driving money. In this episode, Ronit Ghose, Global Head of Future of Finance at Citi and author of Future Money, explains how the next evolution of finance could be powered by a combination of AI, stablecoins, and programmable money. Imagine a world where your money automatically pays your mortgage, rebalances your savings, orders groceries through connected devices, or even embeds compliance rules directly into every transaction. From everyday purchases to more complex financial decisions, Ronit outlines how AI agents and digital dollars could quietly take over many of the financial tasks people deal with today—making money movement more seamless, intelligent, and automated.

The discussion also dives into why this moment may represent the “ChatGPT moment” for institutional blockchain adoption. Ronit reflects on Citi’s influential Digital Dollars research and why the shift from experimentation to real-world production is accelerating. He explains how institutional interest is being driven by three major forces: client demand for more digital asset solutions, the growing opportunity to bring traditional financial assets like bonds and money market funds on-chain, and a more constructive regulatory tone emerging since late 2024. As lawmakers continue to shape the future of digital asset legislation, Ronit highlights the balancing act between innovation, compliance, and long-term infrastructure development, emphasizing that this is no longer just about hype, it’s about building the next generation of financial rails.

Looking further ahead, the conversation explores Citi’s vision for a more borderless financial system by 2030, where tokenized assets, on-chain cash, and AI-powered financial interactions become increasingly common across both consumer and institutional markets. Ronit shares why he believes this shift is not only about efficiency, but also about creating entirely new market opportunities and profit pools for banks, corporates, governments, and investors alike. Recorded live from one of the most important gatherings in digital finance, this interview offers a powerful look at where the future of money is heading and why the world of finance may soon become far more automated, connected, and intelligent than ever before.

Jargon Translator: Tokenization

Jargon Translator: Tokenization

Jargon Translator, Money20/20, breaks down the finance buzzwords that sound complicated but are actually transforming the industry. In this episode, Scarlett Sieber explains tokenization and no, it’s not about arcade tokens. In finance, tokenization refers to the process of turning real-world assets like real estate, artwork, or even stocks into digital tokens on the blockchain. That means instead of needing millions to buy an entire building or masterpiece, investors can own a small fraction for a much lower amount, making high-value assets more accessible to everyday people.

Tokenization is a game changer because it opens the door to fractional ownership, faster trading, and greater transparency. By using blockchain technology, transactions can happen more efficiently with fewer intermediaries, less paperwork, and a clearer record of ownership. It’s essentially a new way of democratizing access to assets that were once reserved for institutions or the ultra-wealthy. However, while the technology is moving quickly, regulation is still catching up, which means the legal and compliance side of tokenized finance is still evolving. If you’ve been hearing more about tokenization lately, this is why it matters, it’s not just a trend, it could reshape how ownership works in the future of finance.

Bitcoin Bottom, ETF Flows & Institutional Adoption

This episode features an in-depth conversation with Sean Bill, CIO and co-founder of the Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company. Against a backdrop of global market volatility impacting crypto, equities, and commodities alike, Sean breaks down the current environment shaping Bitcoin and explains how its traditional four-year cycle has influenced recent price movements from highs near $126K to lows around the $60K range. He shares insights on market behavior, including ETF outflows, retail selling pressure, and why Bitcoin may now be entering a key “bottoming zone,” with strong support levels forming and a notable divergence emerging between Bitcoin and Gold.

The discussion also dives into the growing momentum behind institutional adoption, with major players like BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, Fidelity Investments, and Charles Schwab increasingly entering the space. Sean highlights how Bitcoin ETFs are lowering barriers to entry and expanding access for both institutional and retail investors, despite ongoing debates around “paper Bitcoin.” He also reflects on his early role in institutional Bitcoin adoption and why he believes broader participation could serve as a major catalyst for long-term price appreciation.

Looking ahead, Sean offers a behind-the-scenes look at the company’s ambitious plans, including its groundbreaking Bitcoin-backed fundraising strategy raising approximately $1.4 billion through a mix of Bitcoin contributions and traditional capital markets. With roots tied to pioneers like Adam Back, the inventor of Hashcash, the firm is focused on accelerating the financialization and global adoption of Bitcoin.

The Future of Digital Assets: Adoption, Stablecoins, and M&A Trends

Santiago Roel Santos, the founder and CEO of Inversion, joins Remy Blaire to delve into the current state of the crypto cycle, highlighting a significant divergence in the market. While public companies like Visa, MasterCard, and Coinbase are increasingly adopting crypto technologies, token prices remain volatile and often uninvestable.

Santiago emphasizes that the real opportunity lies in investing in public companies that are embracing blockchain technology rather than in individual tokens, which he believes are overvalued. We also discuss the impact of geopolitical tensions on trading volumes, particularly with the rise of Hyperliquid and the interest in tokenized commodities.

Santiago predicts that stablecoins would become a crucial tool for businesses, especially those engaged in international trade. He notes that the adoption of stablecoins is a secular trend that will continue regardless of external factors like interest rates or geopolitical issues.

Finally, we touch on the anticipated M&A activity in the crypto space, with larger companies seeking to acquire innovative engineering teams to bolster their crypto strategies. Santiago concludes by reassuring American retail consumers that while the apps they use may not change drastically, the benefits of these technologies will manifest in lower rates and faster transactions.
