Does Crypto Have a Crime Problem?
17 augustus 2022 · 44 min
In its mid-year update, popular blockchain data company Chainalysis reported that $1.9 billion was lost to hacks and theft through the first six months of 2022, up from $1.2 billion through the same point in 2021. But other illicit activity – scams and darknet markets – declined compared to last year. How much fear does “crypto crime” create around the digital asset economy? Is it enough to impede widespread adoption? Also, the Securities and Exchange Commission is coming after the initial coin offering from a blockchain project in 2017; so, why now? And there finally may be a solution to the recurring outages on the Solana network. In today's main segment, Marco and Ash talk about Mark Yusko’s declaration that crypto winter is over and crypto spring is here, the highlight of Ash’s recent conversation with the CEO and CIO of Morgan Creek Capital Management.

"The Bear Trend Is in Place Until It Isn't"
29 juli 2022 · 14 min
Cryptocurrency prices are rising, but there are some conflicting signals coming from the market. According to Dean Carr, "It's a patience game." Carr, the founder of C The Light Trading, breaks down charts of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other altcoins on his watch list, taking a technical approach to illustrate his main point. Carr thinks we need to see more upside rotation over multiple time frames to confirm a trend is in place before we enter new trades. And we may get some great short- to medium-term opportunities if we see those confirmations. Carr adds a note of caution: “The bear trend is in place until it isn't," and traders should be careful about "FOMO'ing in." Carr also shares the levels he’s watching for BTC, ETH, and other altcoins and explains how he analyzes risk-reward setups before he enters trades in a must-watch episode for traders and investors who appreciate the value of technical analysis.

What Sets This Crypto Options Platform Apart?
25 juli 2022 · 13 min
What makes Deribit one of the industry's leading platforms for crypto derivatives? Chief Commercial Officer Luuk Strijers gives Qredo's Ben Whitby a detailed look at what Deribit does, including how it structures and manages trades in this fast-moving market. Reacting to Luuk, Ben frames the company’s role as well as anyone: "I don't think the market would operate without [Deribit]." Luuk and Ben also discuss the direct fallout from the meltdown of Three Arrows Capital. Because 3AC was a shareholder, Deribit extended credit to the now-bankrupt hedge fund and is now one of the many creditor-claimants seeking a total of $2.8 billion of redress. "It was a painful lesson learned," Luuk notes. Despite the recent carnage, open interest is growing at Deribit, and he’s optimistic about how its approach will appeal to investors. What about Deribit makes it a favorite trading place for institutions and sophisticated traders? What's next for this thriving crypto options platform? Luuk and Ben address these questions and more in today's episode. Recorded on July 18, 2022.

Let King Dollar Be Your Guide
21 juli 2022 · 13 min
Cryptocurrency prices have rebounded from near-term lows. But does this bounce signal a trend reversal? Or is it just a relief rally? Here’s Francis Hunt’s answer: "I don't feel the long side is the safer side to be playing when you could have, at any point, dollar dominance reassert [itself]." In conversation with Real Vision's Marco Olivera, The Market Sniper breaks down what’s going on with the U.S. dollar, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. He notes that despite the dollar's recent pullback, it's trending higher over the long term. And technical analysis suggests it has more room to run. At the same time, Bitcoin is trending lower. And, of course, Hunt believes those who trade against the trend do so at their peril. He also discusses the U.S. Treasury market as well as the correlation between tech stocks and crypto. So, let’s say Bitcoin plunges; what targets does The Market Sniper have in his sights? What about Ethereum and other altcoins? He answers these questions and more in today's episode.

Blockchain-powered properties of immutability and provenance can enhance transparency and provide liquidity to businesses across multiple industries. Robin Schmidt, the head of video and Multimedia at The Defiant, asks Ben Whitby, who oversees regulatory affairs at Qredo, and Fitz Tepper, the vice-president of operations at Rally, about advances in real-life NFT utility that will be critical to sustaining growth beyond the hype.

Is It Too Soon to Bottom-Pick?
15 juli 2022 · 16 min
Everyone in the cryptoverse wants to know when the lows are in. But Holden Milstein and Mish Schneider of MarketGauge.com say crypto won’t bottom until equity markets do. "Most bottoms, you get a sharp rally, a ‘V’ reversal, or a breakout from the compression zone," Holden notes. "Until we see [Bitcoin's] price action moving back up, the bottom is not in." In conversation with Real Vision's Ash Bennington, Holden and Mish talk about their playbook for trading this stagflationary, sideways-moving bear market. They also discuss the impact of Federal Reserve policy on financial markets and the similarities between the current crypto crisis and the dot-com era. Can we identify the cryptos built to survive, even if we see a repeat of the current downturn? What’s the Marketgauge.com team trading at the moment? Mish and Holden answer these questions and many more in today's episode. To follow their market commentary, visit Marketgauge.com. Recorded on July 12, 2022.

Where Does Celsius Go From Here?
14 juli 2022 · 14 min
The crypto market is experiencing a "Lehman Brothers" moment, according to Simon Dixon, the chaos caused by greedy short-termers exploiting vulnerabilities in nascent technologies such as DeFi and yield farming. The CEO of BnkToTheFuture says lenders marketed products as low-risk savings accounts to attract retail depositors. What they were really doing was investing customer funds in DeFi, effectively making their products high-risk securities. Dixon joins Real Vision's Ash Bennington to talk about what happened at these troubled exchanges, how the industry can recover, and when it can begin to move forward again. A Celsius shareholder, Dixon is committed to helping retail investors affected by the company’s failure. He leads the Celsius Recovery Plan, a community-driven solution that will work outside traditional finance, as was the case with Bitfinex.

Three Arrows Drama Unfolds in Bankruptcy Court
13 juli 2022 · 42 min
The story of Singapore-based crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital’s collapse continues in a U.S. bankruptcy court in Manhattan, with liquidators accusing 3AC’s co-founders of not cooperating and going missing. Zhu Su, one of those co-founders whose physical whereabouts are currently unknown, recently broke a weeks-long silence on Twitter to accuse those liquidators of "baiting." It’s an increasingly dramatic fall – and it’s also raised the clamor for regulation in the crypto space. To that end, the Treasury Department submitted a framework for international cooperation on digital assets, hot on the heels of the European Union reaching agreement on sweeping new proposals. Dan Roberts, the editor-in-chief of Decrypto, and Chen Arad, a co-founder and the chief operating officer of Solidus Labs, join Real Vision’s Samuel Burke for today’s edition of Crypto Unwrapped.

Former Fed Economist Turned Private Market Investor Talks Inflation and Crypto
7 juli 2022 · 15 min
Bitcoin (and cryptocurrency generally) often has been called a long-term inflation hedge. Over the last few months, however, soaring inflation (and central banks’ efforts to counter it) has been a major driver of broad losses across the crypto market. Indeed, the U.S. dollar’s purchasing power against Bitcoin has been in an uptrend for the better part of 2022, inviting skepticism of the “inflation hedge” narrative. Joe Zhao, a former economist at the Federal Reserve and a current partner at venture fund Millennia Capital, joins Real Vision Senior Crypto Editor Ash Bennington to share insights into how the Fed makes policy and to explain why he believes all asset prices are correlated. Zhao also forecasts the stock market’s performance for the balance of 2022 and into 2023 – noting that stock-market performance will be a good gauge of Bitcoin’s trajectory. The Fed’s efforts to control inflation mean this year and next are for recovery. But, according to Zhao, we’ll start to see growth again in 2024. Recorded on July 1, 2022.
