Steven McClurg, CEO of Canary Capital, joins CoinFund President Chris Perkins to break down what’s actually driving crypto markets beneath the headlines. He explains why crypto ETFs are gaining traction even as Bitcoin and altcoins struggle, and why futures markets, basis trades, and market structure matter more than sentiment or politics.
McClurg shares a contrarian view on the four-year Bitcoin cycle, arguing that the peak may already be behind us, with miner capitulation and liquidity pressures weighing on prices. The conversation also explores why price weakness doesn’t necessarily signal slowing innovation, how stablecoins fit into the broader macro picture, and what investors should be watching as markets move into the next phase of the cycle.

In this conversation, Richard Young, President & CEO of i-80 Gold, joins Wealthion’s Trey Reik to discuss how his company is building a high-grade, mid-tier gold producer focused entirely on Nevada, one of the world’s best mining jurisdictions. Richard walks through i-80’s plan to grow production from under 50,000 ounces today to more than 600,000 ounces annually in the early 2030s, with the potential for long-life production way beyond that. The discussion highlights why high-grade underground mining, jurisdictional quality, and disciplined sequencing matter more than aggressive exploration in today’s gold market. Richard also outlines the key feasibility studies, recapitalization efforts, and development milestones investors should be watching over the next 12–24 months, before closing with his perspective on the global structural forces supporting gold and the importance of execution and asset quality.

Harry Dent argues that today’s markets are trapped in the largest and most artificial bubble in history, created by years of government deficits, money printing, and the suppression of natural economic cycles. In this conversation with Maggie Lake, he explains why demographics and generational spending patterns, not innovation alone, drive long-term booms and busts. Dent warns that eliminating recessions has destroyed true price discovery and made a soft landing impossible. He also breaks down why money velocity is signaling deep economic fragility and why millennials are being hurt most by inflated asset prices. Dent outlines what tends to break first when major bubbles unwind and why the initial phase of a crash often happens faster than investors expect. Finally, he shares how he thinks about positioning during extreme market stress and where opportunity may emerge after a full reset.
