## Resource

Bitcoin remains stuck near  $64,000 , but the infrastructure around crypto keeps moving. Matt covers Custodia Bank’s Supreme Court fight for direct access to Federal Reserve payment rails, Franklin Templeton getting SEC clearance for expanded on-chain cash management, and BitGo reporting  $4.3 billion in quarterly revenue  despite posting a net loss.  The episode also looks at a proposal that could significantly reduce Ethereum staking yields as more ETH gets locked up, the CFTC’s warning about prediction-market incentives and wash trading, growing bullish positioning in Dogecoin, and what it could take to finally give Bitcoin a major new catalyst. Matt also explores how AI could fundamentally change the way industries analyze massive amounts of data, from financial markets to professional sports.  Happy HODLing. Hosted on Acast.
