This episode breaks down the key turning points in the current macro environment, exploring why risk assets are struggling despite recent Fed dovishness and what’s driving the recent pause in DeFi total value locked (TVL) growth, even as markets search for new catalysts. The conversation moves into real-world adoption, examining fresh stablecoin and asset-tokenization initiatives on Avalanche, and considers the broader implications for digital asset treasury (DAT) markets—including the merger between Strive and Semler Scientific. We offer insights from our latest institutional research, touching on the impending US government shutdown, the evolving regulatory landscape and major onchain trends.
