Where is the smart money moving next? In this episode, Paul Barron sits down with digital asset pioneer Steven McClurg to break down the rapidly shifting landscapes of crypto, macroeconomics, and institutional finance. From the next wave of crypto ETFs to the critical legislative battles shaping the future of DeFi, Paul and Steven dive deep into what’s happening behind closed doors on Wall Street and in Washington. They analyze why regulatory clarity from the CFTC could change the game, how real-world asset (RWA) tokenization is transforming markets, and what surging Treasury yields mean for your portfolio. Plus, get their unfiltered market predictions on whether Bitcoin is gearing up for a massive summer rally, where XRP truly stands in the ETF pipeline, and why gold remains the ultimate hedge against an looming economic downturn.
