## Resource

Bitcoin moved back toward $78,000 as spot ETF flows returned to positive territory, although Matt argues the market remains sideways rather than in a confirmed recovery. The bigger structural story is the SEC's new five-year innovation exemption for tokenized U.S. stocks, which requires tokenized shares to carry the same ownership rights as their traditional counterparts. Traditional finance continues moving deeper into blockchain infrastructure even as corporate Bitcoin purchasing has slowed.  Prediction markets are also becoming increasingly important and increasingly controversial. Matt discusses a listener's proposal to emphasize knowledge and consumer protection rather than prohibition, his prior research into apparently coordinated wallet activity in Ohio political markets, and the Ninth Circuit's ruling involving Kalshi on tribal lands. He also examines AI-assisted cybersecurity and Andrew Yang's unverified account of self-replicating AI code on the open internet, while raising his own concerns about the growing role private AI platforms play in political research and expression.  Happy HODLing Hosted on Acast.
