Are we witnessing the final days of the old financial guard? In this episode, Paul Barron sits down with market analyst Zach Rector to deconstruct the rapidly evolving digital asset landscape and the macroeconomic forces driving it.

From the front lines of the XRP Las Vegas event to the high-stakes battle between legacy systems and the XRP Ledger, Zach shares his unfiltered take on where the smart money is moving. They break down why institutional interest in Bitcoin is only the beginning and how Ripple is positioning itself to challenge SWIFT’s global dominance.
