The AllinCrypto Podcast

What happens when fans don’t just watch sports but control the game? In this episode, we sit down with Omar Rahim, CEO and founder of Arena2, a Web3 sports platform experimenting with a radical idea live sports as interactive gameplay.Fans can vote to change rules mid-match, stake tokens to co-own teams, and use NFTs that can literally swing a final. Arena2 features athlete-led teams including Khabib Nurmagomedov, Patrice Evra, and other global sports icons.We explore:Why traditional sports are “closed and archaic”How crypto enables fan-controlled rulesCo-owning teams through stakingNFTs that award penalties in live matchesWhy a Premier League executive said Arena2 is either “crazy” or “multi-billion”This isn’t fan tokens.This is crypto applied where it actually works.

Most blockchains weren’t built for banks.They were built for ideology.In this episode, we sit down with Yuval Rooz, Co-Founder & CEO of Digital Asset, to explain why public, fully transparent blockchains break real financial markets — and why Canton Network was designed differently.We go deep into how banks, institutions, and regulators actually think about privacy, collateral, governance, and risk. From FTX-style black boxes to verifiable on-chain finance, this conversation explains what institutional adoption really requires — and why Europe and Wall Street are moving this way.This isn’t DeFi hype.This is how finance actually moves on-chain.We explore:Why banks will never use most public blockchainsThe hidden problem with “trustless” financePrivacy vs transparency (and why both matter)How black-box systems like FTX really failedWhy zero-knowledge breaks down in financeCanton’s approach to privacy-enabled smart contractsHow institutions like DTCC and Nasdaq participateTokenomics designed for real economic activityWhy RWAs need a different blockchain architectureWhat institutional crypto looks like in Europe vs the US👇 Follow Yuval & CantonX (Yuval): https://x.com/YuvalRoozX (Canton): https://x.com/CantonNetwork

What happens when money becomes programmable and AI starts trading on its own? In this episode, we sit down with Michael Casey, journalist, author, and chairman & co-founder of the Advanced AI Society, to unpack why crypto isn’t about price charts — it’s about who controls data, money, and truth in the AI age. Michael has covered every major technological shift of the last 30 years, from newspapers to the internet, from Wall Street to crypto. He explains why blockchain is fundamentally a record-keeping revolution, why Web2 failed, and why AI forces finance to become programmable. We explore: Why crypto is really about record-keeping, not speculation Blockchain as a “truth & consensus machine” How Web2 destroyed journalism and centralized data Techno-feudalism, surveillance capitalism, and loss of free will Why tribalism is crypto’s biggest failure AI agents trading autonomously and why banks can’t handle it Programmable money, stablecoins, and tokenized finance Why DTCC, Nasdaq, and Wall Street are moving on-chain Crypto’s role in preventing AI-driven centralization

Today we’re joined by Philip Piper, CEO & Co-Founder of Swarm (Swarm Markets) a builder at the intersection of DeFi, real-world assets (RWA) and regulated market infrastructure. In this forward-looking conversation with host Rupert Pickering (All In Crypto), Philip explains why we’re still in “Mickey Mouse land” for on-chain markets and why the next phase could bring trillions of traditional assets on-chain, surpassing even Bitcoin’s adoption curve.We break down the (paused) U.S. market structure bill, the tokenization of gold as an unexpected RWA growth driver, privacy vs. surveillance in transparent ledgers, and Swarm’s Invenium acquisition to build a full-stack platform for agentic asset management — where AI agents analyze data with provenance, execute trades via open smart-contract rails, and manage portfolios with personal privacy in mind.Swarm: https://swarm.comXX: https://x.com/SwarmMarketsWhat we cover (high-impact):How the market structure bill could clarify SEC vs. CFTC roles and unlock regulated DeFi primitivesWhy tokenized gold materially boosted RWA adoption in 2025Democratization vs. gatekeepers: collapsing middlemen while keeping regulated trustPrivacy tech (ZK and private trading) vs. financial surveillance concernsAgentic AI portfolios, yield streaming, and instant derivative issuance on-chainSwarm × Invenium: linking provenance-rich data to tokens for credible marketsIf you’re serious about RWAs, DeFi, or AI-driven investing, this one’s full of rare, no-nonsense insights. 👉 Subscribe for more deep dives, and comment with your biggest takeaway or question for Philip.

In this episode of the All In Crypto Podcast, we sit down with Lex Sokolin (Managing Partner at Generative Ventures, former Chief Economist & CMO at Consensys, and author of the Fintech Blueprint) to unpack what he calls the “machine economy”—a world where AI agents, robots, and AI-augmented humans drive a massive leap in productivity, forcing finance to be rebuilt from the ground up.We explore why centralization tends to win during major platform shifts, how agentic commerce could reshape payments and capital markets, and why today’s AI race looks similar to earlier transitions: Napster → Spotify, early internet chaos → Google’s search box, and now reasoning/inference being captured by a handful of giants.Lex also explains where crypto genuinely fits: not as “AI + tokens,” but as property rights, identity, and settlement rails—a way to make AI and agents more ownable, composable, and economically legible. Finally, we close with an investor’s view of 2026: frothy private markets, resilient public AI equities (near term), and a crypto market still working through structural problems.Guest: Lex Sokolin:Managing Partner, Generative Ventures | ex Consensys | Fintech, AI, Web3Links:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexeysokolin/• X: https://x.com/LexSokolin• Newsletter: fintechblueprint.com

We sat down with Noelle Acheson author of Crypto Is Macro Now and one of the sharpest macro voices in the space to unpack how crypto has moved from a niche market into a real macro + geopolitical force. In this conversation we dig into: Why the economy increasingly looks K-shaped (and what that means for markets) The shift from “old” Bitcoin holders to “new” holders and why it matters How institutions are changing the market structure (and why adoption may still be early) Stablecoins, Treasuries, and policy: why stablecoins could reshape the monetary vs fiscal balance CBDCs, global rails, and geopolitics: resilience, fragmentation, and the weaponization of finance Gold vs Bitcoin as reserves and the custody question no one wants to talk about

They’re watching everything… and the fiat system is breaking in real time.In this episode of the AllInCrypto Podcast, we’re joined by Francis Hunt (“The Silver Messiah”) for a deep, uncensored conversation about the collapse of the debt-based system, why gold and silver are breaking out, and why privacy is becoming the most valuable asset in the world.Francis explains why silver could be heading to extreme levels, how monetary debasement is accelerating, and why the original purpose of crypto was never “number go up”… it was escaping the system.We also dive into the controversial thesis behind Monero (XMR) — and why it may be the biggest “off-grid” trade of the coming decade.⚠️ If you care about wealth protection, financial freedom, and what’s REALLY happening behind the scenes, this is one you don’t want to miss.⏱️ In this episode, we cover:✅ Government surveillance & total financial control ✅ The end of the fiat/debt-based system ✅ Silver breakout + explosive upside scenarios ✅ Why gold is the true “unit of account” ✅ The hidden risks of silver going parabolic ✅ The “escape trade” and why privacy matters 100x ✅ Monero as digital gold’s privacy equivalent ✅ Why Bitcoin lost the privacy mission

In this interview, we sit down with Charles Hoskinson to examine the convergence of AI, surveillance, regulation, and decentralised finance.

David Rosenberg (Founder & President, Rosenberg Research) joins the AllInCrypto Podcast to break down why no asset class is priced for recession, the reality behind a K-shaped economy and market, and why concentration risk + valuations could matter more than most investors realize.We dig into GDP vs Gross Output (GO), the wealth effect, how tariffs and supply-side inflation are squeezing the middle class, and why gold is benefiting from a shifting global reserve mix. We also explore Bitcoin vs gold, the challenge of valuing crypto, and whether Bitcoin is truly “digital gold” or still a risk-on trade.

In this episode, we sit down with Jeff Dorman (Arca) to unpack why the “real” crypto era may still be ahead of us even after years of hype, booms, and brutal drawdowns.We talk tokenization at scale, why “crypto” is a misleading umbrella term, and how to think about valuing assets when everything from finance to gaming to social becomes token-native. Jeff also shares his framework for Bitcoin vs. smart contract platforms, plus what could matter most heading into 2026.
