Geoffrey Kendrick (Standard Chartered): The Bitcoin Low Is In, and $500K by 2030 Is Conservative
What happens when the US has to roll over its debt with 10-year yields above 5%? For Geoffrey Kendrick, that pressure is part of the Bitcoin case, and part of why he argues crypto is back and the low is in. The bigger shift may sit underneath Bitcoin: stablecoins, tokenization and protocols whose fees keep growing while their tokens stay cheap. Geoffrey Kendrick is Global Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered. The conversation covers why Geoffrey believes crypto has bottomed, and how US debt, Treasury intervention and the Fed shape the Bitcoin case. It then turns to stablecoins, where transactions doubled while supply stalled at about $300 billion, and why that is a massive use case for Ethereum and for protocols like Uniswap, Aave, Morpho, Chainlink and Arbitrum. It also covers the SEC exemption for tokenized US equities and why AI agents will need blockchain rails. It closes with price targets to 2030 and why Bitcoin dominance could edge lower as crypto moves from speculation to revenue.

Steven Goldfeder: How Arbitrum Went From Professor Coin to Robinhood Chain and Institutional Markets
What if TPS is the wrong way to measure a blockchain's scale? Arbitrum began as a Princeton research project nicknamed the "Professor Coin," and today Robinhood runs its own chain on the Arbitrum stack. So why does market sentiment still lag behind what institutions are actually building? Steven Goldfeder is the co-founder and CEO of Offchain. The conversation follows Arbitrum from its academic roots at Princeton to a platform that runs from Arbitrum One to custom chains like Robinhood Chain. It covers the license that sends 10% of on-chain revenue from chains not settling on Arbitrum One to the Arbitrum DAO, why perps and DeFi took off on Arbitrum One, and why gas per second says more than TPS. It also covers Web2-style privacy for institutions, the gap between market sentiment and institutional adoption, and why US crypto laws need to be made durable.

Can Solana Power the Future of Finance? | Nick Almond, Jito Foundation
Could Solana become the foundation of a new financial system — one capable of competing with Nasdaq and bringing global capital markets on-chain? Nick Almond, Head of Governance at the Jito Foundation and co-author of the Solana Constitution, joins Rupert Pickering on AllInCrypto to explore Solana’s future, Jito’s growing role in the ecosystem, and the changing economics of cryptocurrency. Nick explains why Solana is moving beyond memecoins towards becoming serious financial infrastructure, how Jito is building the network’s market layer through JitoSOL, BAM and JTX, and why institutional adoption depends on more than just transaction speed. The conversation also covers SOL staking and inflation, JTO token economics, MEV and sandwich attacks, decentralized governance, and the potential convergence of AI and blockchain. Can Solana become the backbone of 24/7 global finance and what role will Jito play in building it? Join us for a conversation about the future of crypto, capital markets and digital finance.

What 16 Major Banks Really Think About Crypto & Tokenization | Anthony Ralphs & Chris Ostrowski
What do 16 major investment banks really think about crypto and tokenization? Rupert Pickering is joined by Anthony Ralphs, Founder of Nova Modus and formerly at Ripple, and Chris Ostrowski, Founder & CEO of SODA, to explore what banks actually want from blockchain and why adoption at scale remains so difficult. Drawing on SODA’s research with 16 major investment banks, we discuss the real-world potential of tokenized collateral, intraday repo and cross-border payments, alongside the legacy systems holding traditional finance back. We also explore public vs private blockchains, SODA’s work with MIT on interoperability standards, and whether crypto-native companies could gain an advantage over traditional financial institutions. A conversation about what it will really take for tokenization to transform global finance.

Algorand’s New CEO on AI, Quantum Security & What Comes Next
William Herkelrath, the new CEO of Algorand, joins AllInCrypto for an exclusive conversation on the future of the network and the broader direction of crypto. We discuss why security could become one of Algorand’s biggest opportunities, how AI may represent a more immediate cybersecurity threat than quantum computing, and why post-quantum infrastructure could become increasingly important across Web3. William also shares his thoughts on institutional tokenization, stablecoins, enterprise adoption, crypto maximalism, validator economics, product-market fit and Algorand’s strategy for creating more real-world value. We also explore why he believes blockchain adoption may already be much further along than many people think and what success could look like for Algorand heading into 2027. A wide-ranging discussion on AI, security, tokenization and the next chapter for Algorand. #algorand #algo #crypto #blockchain #web3 #ai

Wall Street Is Going Onchain: $160T, Bitcoin vs Gold & Quantum | Christopher Perkins
What happens when trillions of dollars in traditional finance start moving onchain? Christopher Perkins, Head of Franklin Crypto at Franklin Templeton, joins AllInCrypto to explain why institutional adoption may be far further along than most people realize. We discuss why public blockchains could become the infrastructure for 24/7 financial markets, what a potential $160 trillion onchain shift could mean for native crypto tokens, and why Perkins believes those tokens could eventually become strategic commodities. We also explore Bitcoin’s advantages over gold, Franklin Templeton’s involvement in blockchain infrastructure, stablecoins, tokenized collateral, US crypto regulation and one of Perkins’ most contrarian ideas: quantum computing may ultimately accelerate crypto adoption rather than destroy it. A wide-ranging conversation on what happens when crypto stops being an alternative financial system and starts becoming part of the infrastructure behind global markets. Not financial advice.

Altcoins Are Dead? Bitget CEO Gracy Chen on Bitcoin, AI & the Future of Crypto
Are altcoins dying, is the traditional crypto cycle breaking down, and could the next phase of crypto look completely different from the last? Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, one of the world’s leading crypto exchanges, breaks down where she believes the market is heading, why institutional capital is changing the game, and which parts of crypto could actually matter in the years ahead. In this episode, she explains: ■ Why Altcoins Are Struggling: Why institutional capital is flowing primarily toward Bitcoin, why issuing new tokens has become too easy, and the uncomfortable question: who actually buys the altcoins? ■ The End of the Old Crypto Cycle: Why the familiar Bitcoin → Ethereum → altcoins → meme coins rotation may no longer work the way investors expect. ■ Bitcoin’s Next Chapter: Why Gracy remains bullish on Bitcoin long term, while questioning whether the current market is really the beginning of a new bull cycle. ■ The $120 Trillion Tokenization Opportunity: Why only a tiny fraction of global equities are tokenized today, and why real-world assets could become one of crypto’s biggest areas of growth. ■ Stablecoins Built for AI: Why AI agents may naturally use stablecoins for payments — and why Gracy believes stablecoins could ultimately be better suited to machines than humans. ■ Why Crypto Doesn’t Need 30 Blockchains: Why public chains increasingly need real product-market fit as GameFi, SocialFi and other previous narratives lose relevance. ■ The Future of Bitget: How Bitget is evolving from a crypto exchange toward a Universal Exchange where users could trade crypto, equities, commodities and other global assets from one platform. ■ What Investors Should Question: Why holding an altcoin simply because it used to be worth more can be dangerous — and why historical market patterns should not be treated as guarantees.

World War III has already started | With Doomberg
Doomberg believes World War III has already started just not in the way most people imagine. In this wide-ranging conversation, Doomberg joins Rupert Pickering to explore how geopolitical conflict is increasingly being fought through finance, sanctions, industrial capacity, critical resources and technology. They discuss the growing tensions between the US, China, Russia and Iran, the strategic importance of rare earths, whether the US dollar is losing its neutrality as the world’s reserve asset, and the risks surrounding Taiwan. The conversation also turns to Bitcoin and gold, why Doomberg believes fiat currencies increasingly struggle as stores of value, the role of stablecoins in the global dollar system, and why he remains a no-coiner despite understanding Bitcoin’s appeal. Finally, Doomberg shares his outlook on AI, DeepSeek, accelerating compute demand and why the current AI revolution could make the dot-com era look slow by comparison. A thought-provoking conversation on geopolitics, money, Bitcoin, AI and the forces reshaping the global economy.

AI Could Break Payment Systems | Will Beaumont CPO Algorand
What happens when millions of AI agents start transacting 24/7? As AI moves beyond chatbots and begins making decisions, buying data, accessing compute and executing transactions autonomously, the infrastructure behind the digital economy may need to change with it. In this episode of the AllInCrypto Podcast, we sit down with Will Beaumont, Chief Product Officer at the Algorand Foundation, to explore the convergence of AI, blockchain and the future of finance. Will explains why today's payment infrastructure was built for humans rather than machines — and why an economy of always-on AI agents could demand faster settlement, dramatically lower transaction costs and entirely new models for identity, trust and reputation. We explore how Algorand is positioning itself for this emerging machine economy, from low-cost high-frequency transactions and instant finality to AC2, its proposed framework for keeping humans in control when AI agents need to perform sensitive actions. We also go deep into the rapidly growing world of real-world asset tokenization, institutional adoption, emerging markets, cross-border finance, the role of the ALGO token and Algorand's roadmap toward post-quantum resilience.

This Is The Bitcoin Buying Zone | Charles Edwards
Could AI become a bigger opportunity than Bitcoin and what happens if Bitcoin miners start choosing AI instead? In this episode of AllInCrypto, Rupert sits down with Charles Edwards, investor, founder of Capriole Investments and creator of Bitcoin’s Hash Ribbons model, for a wide-ranging discussion on Bitcoin, AI, quantum computing, macro markets and the future of crypto. Charles explains why he believes AI and quantum computing could be among the most important investment themes of the next five years, while also highlighting new risks emerging around Bitcoin. We discuss why Bitcoin miners are increasingly moving toward AI infrastructure, what happens if the cost of intelligence falls dramatically, and why the economics behind today’s enormous AI CapEx boom could eventually change. The conversation also dives deep into Bitcoin valuation including the electrical cost model Charles uses to identify deeper value as well as Strategy, Bitcoin treasury leverage, altcoins, tokenomics and the growing convergence between crypto and traditional finance. Charles also explains why he avoids altcoins when Bitcoin is trending lower, how he eliminates the vast majority of tokens using fundamental analysis, and why stablecoins, trading and tokenized real-world assets could eventually make crypto and TradFi almost indistinguishable.

Crypto’s Role In The AI War | Gaurav CEO io.net
What happens when the infrastructure powering artificial intelligence is controlled by only a handful of companies? In this episode of the AllInCrypto Podcast, we sit down with Gaurav Sharma, CEO & CTO of io.net, to explore the rapidly growing battle over GPUs, AI compute and the infrastructure that could shape the next generation of the internet. Gaurav argues that in an AI-driven economy, talent alone may no longer be enough. Developers need access to two increasingly valuable resources: compute and data. Without them, even the best engineers can struggle to compete. We discuss why GPU demand continues to accelerate, how decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) could unlock unused computing power around the world, and why Gaurav believes crypto may have found one of its most important real-world use cases. The conversation also goes much deeper. What happens if Amazon, Google, Microsoft and other major technology companies control an increasing share of the infrastructure behind AI? Could access to intelligence itself become centralized? And could decentralized infrastructure give developers, businesses and individuals another path? Gaurav also explains how everyday GPU owners can participate in distributed compute networks, why affordable GPUs could transform AI education, how platform dependency can threaten AI startups, and why he believes the current AI compute boom is far from a bubble.

The $400T Opportunity Is Here | eToro CEO Yoni Assia
In this episode of AllInCrypto, we sit down with Yoni Assia, Founder & CEO of eToro, for a deep conversation about AI agents, Bitcoin, DeFi, tokenization and the transformation of global financial markets. Yoni explains why he believes AI and crypto are a “pair made in heaven” — and shares his own experience asking an AI agent to open an Ethereum wallet, only to discover it could interact with prediction markets, perpetual markets, tokenized assets and tens of thousands of tokens. We also explore why he sees the movement of global assets on-chain as a potential $400 trillion opportunity, why traditional financial infrastructure may struggle in a 24/7 AI-driven economy, and how tokenized equities could eventually connect directly with DeFi. Yoni also shares his views on Bitcoin as digital gold, inflation and currency devaluation, the power of compounding, stablecoin adoption, AI-powered investing, market cycles and whether the current AI boom resembles the dot-com era. Could crypto become the native financial infrastructure for autonomous AI agents? And are we witnessing the beginning of one of the biggest changes in global finance?

AI Agents Will Need Money Too | Jody Mettler, COO of BitGo
AI agents may soon need their own wallets and BitGo is already working on the infrastructure that could make it possible. In this episode of the AllInCrypto Podcast, we sit down with Jody Mettler, Chief Operating Officer of BitGo and President of BitGo Bank & Trust, to explore how digital assets are evolving from speculative investments into real financial infrastructure. After spending 22 years at Citi working across payments, operations and financial infrastructure, Jody now sits at the intersection of traditional finance and one of the fastest-moving areas of the digital economy. We discuss why institutions are moving beyond simply buying and holding crypto, how stablecoins could transform global payments, why tokenization may disrupt traditional securities markets, and what growing institutional participation actually looks like behind the scenes. We also explore one of the most fascinating developments ahead: the convergence of AI and digital assets. Jody reveals that BitGo is already working on an agentic wallet and explains why blockchain could become the financial connector that allows autonomous AI agents to open wallets, transact and participate in the economy. Could crypto ultimately become part of the financial infrastructure of an AI-driven world?

This is Why The World Needs XRP | Interview with Vet from XRPL
Could XRP become the neutral bridge connecting the world’s currencies? In this episode of the AllInCrypto Podcast, we sit down with Vet, contributor to the XRP Ledger Foundation, XRP Ledger dUNL validator and co-founder of XRP Café. We explore the original vision behind XRP: enabling global liquidity and serving as a neutral bridge between currencies, markets and tokenized assets. Vet explains why the rise of stablecoins and real-world asset tokenization does not weaken XRP’s original use case. In his view, it gives XRP more assets to connect and more opportunities to improve on-chain liquidity. The conversation also examines whether a neutral digital asset could eventually compete for part of the global bridge and reserve role currently dominated by the US dollar. We also discuss the growing divide between institutional optimism and retail fatigue, XRP’s relationship with the XRP Ledger, the expansion of DeFi, on-chain lending, privacy, institutional adoption and the long-term vision of an Internet of Value.

Blockchain Goes Where Banks Cannot | Matt Keller Algorand
What if blockchain’s most important use case isn’t trading but helping humanitarian aid reach people traditional banking systems cannot? In this episode of the AllInCrypto Podcast, Rupert Pickering sits down with Matt Keller, Lead: Impact at the Algorand Foundation, to explore how blockchain, stablecoins and digital wallets are transforming humanitarian payments. Matt explains how Algorand and HesabPay are helping organizations deliver financial support in Afghanistan and Syria, where access to traditional banking infrastructure remains limited. The conversation explores how direct digital payments can give recipients greater control, make the movement of aid easier to trace and provide institutions with greater confidence that resources reached their intended destination. We also discuss how developing economies could leapfrog traditional banking infrastructure—just as many previously skipped landlines and moved directly to mobile technology. Matt shares insights into stablecoin payments for agricultural workers in northeast Syria, the future of digital financial services, privacy for vulnerable recipients and the growing Humanitarian Payments Council bringing together organizations including Visa, Mastercard, Circle and United Nations agencies. This is crypto being used not for speculation, but to solve real human problems.

The West Is Losing Crypto Adoption with Vincent Gramoli - Redbelly Network
In this episode of the AllInCrypto Podcast, Rupert Pickering sits down with Vincent Gramoli, Founder and CTO of Redbelly Network, to explore how blockchain could move beyond speculation and become trusted infrastructure for real-world finance. Vincent is a Professor at the University of Sydney and has spent years researching distributed systems, blockchain scalability and Byzantine fault tolerance. He explains how that academic research became Redbelly Network: a Layer 1 designed around deterministic consensus, no forks, quasi-instant finality and compliant real-world asset tokenization. The conversation covers why a transaction appearing on a blockchain may not always mean it is permanently settled, how tokenization could allow titanium to trade before it reaches another continent, and why emerging economies may adopt decentralized financial infrastructure differently from the West. Vincent also discusses Redbelly’s reported mainnet throughput, its earlier laboratory benchmark, the security trade-offs associated with moving transactions off-chain, Australia’s evolving digital asset regulation and Redbelly’s participation in Project Acacia with the Reserve Bank of Australia.
