Then the stolen ETH kept swapping into Bitcoin through THORChain, which declined to block the addresses. Austin Campbell, Ram Ahluwalia, and Chris Perkins weigh whether a network that has paused itself before can claim it has no off switch, and why Chris and Austin say attackers will keep coming until they face real consequences, including counterhacking. They also cover a global tightening cycle that pushed the US 10-year yield to its highest level since 2007, why Ram would rather own utilities than Treasurys, the strain on Oracle's data center financing, and who is liable when an AI agent breaks the law. If weak security keeps pushing users back to intermediaries, crypto may end up rebuilding the system it set out to replace.

Bitcoin closed above its 50-week average for the first time in 45 weeks. Ram calls it a short squeeze, Chris a regime change. Plus, Amazon locks out Meta's Muse agent.

The Coinbase premium stayed negative for 166 of the last 168 hours anyway. Ram Ahluwalia and Chris Perkins read that gap differently. Ram calls the move a short squeeze, and says that doesn't make it illegitimate. Chris argues crypto has entered a regime change now that regulators no longer treat every token with a cash flow as a security. Austin Campbell, Ram, and Chris also cover the Fed's first rate hike since July 2023 and why the 10-year barely moved. Chris flags the cost of servicing US debt, and Austin explains why, with $30 trillion outstanding, rate hikes stop being restrictive and "just spray more cash out." Then Meta's Muse agent, which Amazon has blocked as an unauthorized AI agent, kicks off a debate over whether AI splits into mass-market apps and institution-only tools. Plus, Austin predicts Congress won't touch the deficit until Social Security runs short in the 2030s, and Ram says superintelligence isn't coming, but an AGI that's "extraordinarily competent and highly effective" is good enough.

A day later, a researcher quit Anthropic warning that both labs are "gambling with our lives," and by week's end Dario Amodei had called on the industry to pace the frontier. Jordi Visser, founder of Visser Labs, joins Austin Campbell, Ram Ahluwalia, and Chris Perkins to ask how much of the safety push is about safety. Jordi calls it "a big midterm election story," while Austin tests whether the labs want rules that cool CapEx before an IPO and box out smaller competitors. They also cover why Jordi would never invest in OpenAI or Anthropic, why he would rather own semiconductors and memory, what drone strikes on a Saudi pipeline mean ahead of the Fed, and why batteries could unlock idle grid capacity. Jordi's own read on the slowdown: the models are getting "too good too fast," and the compute delays holding them back are "actually healthy."

Austin Campbell, Ram Ahluwalia, and Chris Perkins pick apart Adam Aron's fight with Robinhood, and ask whether the dispute is really about capital formation, or about who gets to sell exposure to a company's stock. The discussion also sees them cover the mechanics of a reverse ADR and debate the value of the stock tokens, with Ram saying they solve no real problems. Plus, why memecoins like $FAMI and $STONK are trading against Robinhood Chain's stock tokens, Anthropic's Fable 5.1 and OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra clearing new cybersecurity thresholds, Bernie Sanders' bill to ban artificial superintelligence, and whether Kevin Warsh's Fed will hike in September. Chris says stock-paired memecoins are GameStop 2.0 and Ram says Warsh is only talking the talk but likely won't walk the walk.

Andy Ross, Head of Institutional at Kalshi, joins Austin Campbell, Ram Ahluwalia, and Chris Perkins to unpack the resulting circuit split and argue that Kalshi's order book looks nothing like a sportsbook that bans its winners. They also dig into a viral report that OpenAI's agents built a covert message board to coordinate across sandboxes and dodge shutdown, debating whether it is a real security failure or, as Ram argues, a marketing stunt. Ross also reveals the topic that drives the most requests for new markets: divorce. The conversation turns to Kevin Warsh's hawkish Jackson Hole debut, why Kalshi and FedWatch price September's rate odds more than 30 points apart, and why Ram thinks Congress, not the Fed, holds the real key to the debt problem.

Austin Campbell, Ram Ahluwalia, and Chris Perkins are joined by Bitwise portfolio manager Gordon Grant to referee the fight, weighing whether the incumbent exchange or the upstart prediction market has the stronger claim as CFTC chair Mike Selig moves to bring platforms like Hyperliquid onshore. They also cover Bitcoin pushing toward $80,000 as Scott Bessent's Treasury long-end buybacks jolt bond market volatility, stress signals building in the TIPS market, Gordon's pitch for parametric insurance as prediction markets' next frontier, and a mystery 20-cent open-weight AI model outscoring GPT and Claude at a fraction of the price. Whether prediction markets graduate from novelty bets into real financial infrastructure may come down to who wins this fight.

Perkins, Head of Franklin Crypto, and Austin Campbell, Founder of Zero Knowledge Group, unpack the letters-of-marque-style memo: the $1 million escrow bond, the sixty-day rulemaking window, and why North Korea’s Lazarus Group sits at the center of the attribution debate. Legal scholars call it a war powers problem and a violation of international law on piracy; Perkins calls it the only workable answer to $21 billion in crypto theft last year. They also dig into World Liberty's conditional OCC trust bank charter for its USD1 stablecoin, Treasury's new guidance on Genius Act stablecoin reciprocity, and why Coinbase's US platform may need to delist Tether. Plus, the SEC abruptly postpones its crypto rulemaking meeting while the CFTC keeps moving. Campbell's verdict: after 2028, a new administration could turn World Liberty's own bank charter into the industry's biggest liability.

A Technical Strategist Sees Opportunity in Bitcoin's Quiet Market

Katie Stockton, founder of Fairlead Strategies, says that stillness is not a warning sign. It is what a long-term bottom looks like on the charts. Stockton, a CMT returning to the show, points to a monthly stochastic oscillator that has stayed oversold for months and DeMark indicators showing downside exhaustion. She argues the two together suggest Bitcoin may have a major low in place, even with a hardware wallet hack, the Clarity Act, and an inflation print complicating the setup. She walks through why Ether's downtrend looks cyclical inside a longer secular uptrend, what the ETH to Bitcoin ratio's break below its 200-day average could mean, and how Solana, XRP, and Hyperliquid each look different.
