The Master Investor Podcast with Wilfred Frost · Memory Is A Bubble, But Nvidia Protected – Jan Van Eck On Semis Surge · 27 May 2026 podcast

It might not replace gold, but it'd be accompaniment.

Fast forward to where we are today, I think Wall Street in the last year or so has basically taken the best

of crypto, the blockchain decentralized visibility aspect of blockchains, and some of the other 24-7 capabilities and some of the programmability of money aspects.

This is a little too wonky, maybe.

We love wonky.

In 2026, you know, I call it the year of corporate chains where companies like Bank of New York or JP Morgan or Cumberland Trading in Chicago, a big trading firm, they're trying to create what I would call corporate chains, right?

So get the best of whatever's out there, but I still want to control the ecosystem, right?

I still want it to be the Wilfred chain, right, or whatever it is, because I want to keep my customers in my network, right?

And so that's kind of where we're at, where companies, almost all financial companies in the U.S.

now are using stable coins or one aspect of crypto and trying to kind of capture an ecosystem.

I don't think that's going to work for a lot of them.

But anyway, that's how the technology adoption is evolving, in my view, in 2026 and kind of the year of corporate chains.

And the winners are relatively few.

For the rest of crypto tokens, I think we're in what we call a crypto winter, and I don't think it's coming back.

I just don't think a lot of those projects and softwares will be at all interesting or alive in five or 10 years from now.

So the concept of blockchain and stablecoins are definitely there, and Bitcoin is there, but a lot of other parts of the ecosystem are just, to me, going away.

You know, who knows?

My view is that Bitcoin would achieve sort of half the market value of gold because gold has gone up and the price target of Bitcoin is still multiples of where it is now.

I mean, I would just remind a lot of U.S.

investors seem to have forgotten that Bitcoin hit all time highs last year.
