This episode breaks down a sleepy February 2026 market driven by a midterm-year liquidity squeeze, rising dollar strength, and geopolitical risk that has left altcoins bleeding and volume evaporating.

We cover Benjamin Cowan’s cycle analysis, the rotation of risk into safer assets, and why ETH Denver’s smaller crowd signals a shift from hype to serious builders laying infrastructure.

Then we dive into the existential risk from quantum computing — how Shor’s algorithm threatens ECDSA, why post-quantum fixes are bulky today, and why cryptographic agility and massive scalability are the real survival plays for the next decade.

Crypto in early 2026 faces a structural shakeout: liquidity is spread across over 31.8 million tokens, forcing a sharp flight to quality. This episode unpacks the "Great Crypto Filter," showing how extreme dilution and liquidity fragmentation are ending the lottery-ticket era and rewarding real revenue, yield, and scarcity.

We explain why institutional players—led by moves like BlackRock's staking ETF—are favoring yield-bearing infrastructure and revenue-generating protocols, and what that means for retail holders. The takeaway: audit your portfolio — is each holding a business, a source of yield, or just a ticket at the casino? Subscribe to our daily Free Crypto Newsletter: https://crypto.report.

This episode breaks down the current crypto winter and argues we’re moving from speculation to utility: projects with real users, revenue, and sustainable token models will survive while hype fades.

We examine institutional adoption on Ethereum (BlackRock, JP Morgan), the booming market for tokenized real‑world assets and stablecoins, freelancers using crypto for pay, and gold as a macro warning sign.

Practical takeaway: preserve capital, study revenue‑generating projects, and decide whether extreme market fear is a sell signal or a rare opportunity to build conviction. Subscribe to our daily Free Crypto Newsletter: https://crypto.report.

Bitcoin stalls around $70,000 as massive whale sell pressure, geopolitical risk, and a looming $10 trillion U.S. debt-refinancing squeeze drain liquidity. Retail investors are buying the dip while institutions accumulate DeFi and infrastructure tokens, leaving price-action boring even as adoption deepens. On-chain and technical indicators point to more chop and a potential lower bottom before a sustained recovery, making this a long patience game.

Today’s episode unpacks why the Crypto Fear and Greed Index plunged to five, showing apathy rather than panic, and why strong headlines haven’t sparked rallies.

We explore the growing clash between community banks and crypto platforms over stablecoin yields, institutional moves like BlackRock on Uniswap and Binance converting SAFU to Bitcoin, and on-chain models that point to potential downside toward a $40,000 balance price.

Finally, we examine emerging tech — agentic AI wallets and new global crypto infrastructure — and argue the best approach is patience, dollar-cost averaging for long-term believers, and keeping cash ready for possible dips. Subscribe to our daily Free Crypto Newsletter: https://crypto.report.

This episode breaks down the big contradiction: rapid technical progress in crypto versus falling prices and fading retail interest. We examine Goldman's large ETF sell-offs, Robinhood's collapsing crypto volumes, and the regulatory stalemate around stablecoin yields.

We also explain bold technical claims from the Zero white paper, Stripe's Buy 402 enabling AI-to-AI payments, and institutional plumbing moves (tokenized money market funds, Tether and LayerZero) that could matter long-term. The takeaway: infrastructure is being built while money sits on the sidelines. Subscribe to our daily Free Crypto Newsletter: https://crypto.report.
