We’re entering a new era where data behaves like energy, AI collapses the value of “knowledge”, and the real differentiator becomes wisdom: executable knowledge.

In this episode of the All In Crypto Podcast, Rupert Pickering sits down with Michael Clarke — global advisor, product builder, and author of Our Moment — to explore the hard decisions leaders, governments, and investors must make as AI, tokenisation, and digital infrastructure reshape society.

Michael argues we’re moving from a wealth-based economy to an intelligence-based economy, where access, interoperability, and governance will decide whether the future becomes our moment… or theirs.

What happens when fans don’t just watch sports but control the game? In this episode, we sit down with Omar Rahim, CEO and founder of Arena2, a Web3 sports platform experimenting with a radical idea live sports as interactive gameplay.

Fans can vote to change rules mid-match, stake tokens to co-own teams, and use NFTs that can literally swing a final. Arena2 features athlete-led teams including Khabib Nurmagomedov, Patrice Evra, and other global sports icons.

We explore:

Why traditional sports are “closed and archaic”

How crypto enables fan-controlled rules

Co-owning teams through staking

NFTs that award penalties in live matches

Why a Premier League executive said Arena2 is either “crazy” or “multi-billion”

This isn’t fan tokens.

This is crypto applied where it actually works.

Most blockchains weren’t built for banks.

They were built for ideology.

In this episode, we sit down with Yuval Rooz, Co-Founder & CEO of Digital Asset, to explain why public, fully transparent blockchains break real financial markets — and why Canton Network was designed differently.

We go deep into how banks, institutions, and regulators actually think about privacy, collateral, governance, and risk. From FTX-style black boxes to verifiable on-chain finance, this conversation explains what institutional adoption really requires — and why Europe and Wall Street are moving this way.

This isn’t DeFi hype.

This is how finance actually moves on-chain.

We explore:

Why banks will never use most public blockchains

The hidden problem with “trustless” finance

Privacy vs transparency (and why both matter)

How black-box systems like FTX really failed

Why zero-knowledge breaks down in finance

Canton’s approach to privacy-enabled smart contracts

How institutions like DTCC and Nasdaq participate

Tokenomics designed for real economic activity

Why RWAs need a different blockchain architecture

What institutional crypto looks like in Europe vs the US

What happens when money becomes programmable and AI starts trading on its own? In this episode, we sit down with Michael Casey, journalist, author, and chairman & co-founder of the Advanced AI Society, to unpack why crypto isn’t about price charts — it’s about who controls data, money, and truth in the AI age. Michael has covered every major technological shift of the last 30 years, from newspapers to the internet, from Wall Street to crypto. He explains why blockchain is fundamentally a record-keeping revolution, why Web2 failed, and why AI forces finance to become programmable. We explore: Why crypto is really about record-keeping, not speculation Blockchain as a “truth & consensus machine” How Web2 destroyed journalism and centralized data Techno-feudalism, surveillance capitalism, and loss of free will Why tribalism is crypto’s biggest failure AI agents trading autonomously and why banks can’t handle it Programmable money, stablecoins, and tokenized finance Why DTCC, Nasdaq, and Wall Street are moving on-chain Crypto’s role in preventing AI-driven centralization

Today we’re joined by Philip Piper, CEO & Co-Founder of Swarm (Swarm Markets) a builder at the intersection of DeFi, real-world assets (RWA) and regulated market infrastructure. In this forward-looking conversation with host Rupert Pickering (All In Crypto), Philip explains why we’re still in “Mickey Mouse land” for on-chain markets and why the next phase could bring trillions of traditional assets on-chain, surpassing even Bitcoin’s adoption curve.

We break down the (paused) U.S. market structure bill, the tokenization of gold as an unexpected RWA growth driver, privacy vs. surveillance in transparent ledgers, and Swarm’s Invenium acquisition to build a full-stack platform for agentic asset management — where AI agents analyze data with provenance, execute trades via open smart-contract rails, and manage portfolios with personal privacy in mind.

What we cover (high-impact):

• How the market structure bill could clarify SEC vs. CFTC roles and unlock regulated DeFi primitives
• Why tokenized gold materially boosted RWA adoption in 2025
• Democratization vs. gatekeepers: collapsing middlemen while keeping regulated trust
• Privacy tech (ZK and private trading) vs. financial surveillance concerns
• Agentic AI portfolios, yield streaming, and instant derivative issuance on-chain
• Swarm × Invenium: linking provenance-rich data to tokens for credible markets

If you’re serious about RWAs, DeFi, or AI-driven investing, this one’s full of rare, no-nonsense insights. 👉 Subscribe for more deep dives, and comment with your biggest takeaway or question for Philip.

In this episode of the All In Crypto Podcast, we sit down with Lex Sokolin (Managing Partner at Generative Ventures, former Chief Economist & CMO at Consensys, and author of the Fintech Blueprint) to unpack what he calls the “machine economy”—a world where AI agents, robots, and AI-augmented humans drive a massive leap in productivity, forcing finance to be rebuilt from the ground up.

We explore why centralization tends to win during major platform shifts, how agentic commerce could reshape payments and capital markets, and why today’s AI race looks similar to earlier transitions: Napster → Spotify, early internet chaos → Google’s search box, and now reasoning/inference being captured by a handful of giants.

Lex also explains where crypto genuinely fits: not as “AI + tokens,” but as property rights, identity, and settlement rails—a way to make AI and agents more ownable, composable, and economically legible. Finally, we close with an investor’s view of 2026: frothy private markets, resilient public AI equities (near term), and a crypto market still working through structural problems.

We sit down with Johan Kerbrat, SVP & GM of Robinhood Crypto, to explore where crypto is heading next from tokenized stocks and DeFi to AI investing assistants, prediction markets, and the growing tension between privacy and financial surveillance.

We cover why Robinhood launched crypto in 2018, how tokenization could reshape global markets, what AI changes for investors, and whether the Bitcoin 4-year cycle still holds up in a post-ETF, institution-heavy world.

Not financial advice. Do your own research.

We sat down with Noelle Acheson author of Crypto Is Macro Now and one of the sharpest macro voices in the space to unpack how crypto has moved from a niche market into a real macro + geopolitical force.

In this conversation we dig into: Why the economy increasingly looks K-shaped (and what that means for markets)

The shift from “old” Bitcoin holders to “new” holders and why it matters

How institutions are changing the market structure (and why adoption may still be early) Stablecoins, Treasuries, and policy: why stablecoins could reshape the monetary vs fiscal balance CBDCs, global rails, and geopolitics: resilience, fragmentation, and the weaponization of finance Gold vs Bitcoin as reserves and the custody question no one wants to talk about

They’re watching everything… and the fiat system is breaking in real time.

In this episode of the AllInCrypto Podcast, we’re joined by Francis Hunt (“The Silver Messiah”) for a deep, uncensored conversation about the collapse of the debt-based system, why gold and silver are breaking out, and why privacy is becoming the most valuable asset in the world.

Francis explains why silver could be heading to extreme levels, how monetary debasement is accelerating, and why the original purpose of crypto was never “number go up”… it was escaping the system.

We also dive into the controversial thesis behind Monero (XMR) — and why it may be the biggest “off-grid” trade of the coming decade.

⚠️ If you care about wealth protection, financial freedom, and what’s REALLY happening behind the scenes, this is one you don’t want to miss.

⏱️ In this episode, we cover:

✅ Government surveillance & total financial control

✅ The end of the fiat/debt-based system

✅ Silver breakout + explosive upside scenarios

✅ Why gold is the true “unit of account”

✅ The hidden risks of silver going parabolic

✅ The “escape trade” and why privacy matters 100x

✅ Monero as digital gold’s privacy equivalent

✅ Why Bitcoin lost the privacy mission

In this interview, we sit down with Charles Hoskinson to examine the convergence of AI, surveillance, regulation, and decentralised finance. We discuss the risks emerging from large-scale data capture and why crypto-native systems may become increasingly relevant as privacy standards evolve.
