The Wolf Of All Streets

From The Daily Wolf with Scott Melker, live weekdays at 12pm ET on Yahoo Finance.

Hyperliquid named Payward, Kraken's parent, as its intended first CFTC-regulated deployer on Monday. If regulators approve it, Bitnomial would run the markets and NinjaTrader Clearing would hold client accounts, giving US traders access to perpetual futures they have been locked out of.

The same day, Ripple won final approval for Ripple National Trust Bank, which will manage the reserves behind its $2.5 billion RLUSD stablecoin.

Scott Melker also covers BlackRock testing a yen stablecoin in Japan, Binance filing for a Brazilian licence, and Canada copying the GENIUS Act.

DoubleZero co-founder Austin Federa joins Andrew Parish and Tillman Holloway of Arch Public to debate whether the Bitcoin bear market is over, after Galaxy said the bottom was in back in June while Bernstein cut its targets for crypto stocks and stopped assuming any bullish price action.
The panel starts with Wall Street's split on Bitcoin, volatility, IBIT options and ETF flows, then Austin explains DoubleZero's low-latency network, its new Edge for Builders data feeds and how AI agents are opening up fast trading. From there it's the K-shaped economy and Bitcoin ETF demand, Kraken's plan for regulated US perpetual futures on Hyperliquid, crypto and the dollar, on-chain IPOs, Ripple's national trust bank, crypto's market structure and self-custody problems, and why meme coins are entertainment, not investments.

Peter Tchir, Head of Macro Strategy at Academy Securities, joins Mike McGlone of Bloomberg Intelligence and CoinRoutes co-founder Dave Weisberger to break down why Bitcoin and gold are the two worst-performing major assets of 2026, and what credit markets, the Fed and the AI spending boom mean for crypto.
The panel starts with Fed week, the AI trade unwinding and midterm odds, then digs into widening credit spreads, debt-funded AI data centers and Fed liquidity. Mike makes his case that gold and Bitcoin have peaked and Treasuries are the place to hide, Dave and Peter push back on Bitcoin, gold, a Democratic sweep and deficit spending, and Peter closes on the risk from volatility-selling strategies.
