💡As crypto, equities, and liquidity move through different cycles, it helps to understand your positioning. Get a free portfolio review with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors: https://bit.ly/4s7lLPI Steven McClurg, CEO of Canary Capital, joins CoinFund President Chris Perkins to break down what’s actually driving crypto markets beneath the headlines. He explains why crypto ETFs are gaining traction even as Bitcoin and altcoins struggle, and why futures markets, basis trades, and market structure matter more than sentiment or politics. McClurg shares a contrarian view on the four-year Bitcoin cycle, arguing that the peak may already be behind us, with miner capitulation and liquidity pressures weighing on prices. The conversation also explores why price weakness doesn’t necessarily signal slowing innovation, how stablecoins fit into the broader macro picture, and what investors should be watching as markets move into the next phase of the cycle. 💡Protect your wealth with real gold and silver through Hard Assets Alliance: https://www.hardassetsalliance.com/?aff=WTH Chapters: 1:02 - Building the Next Generation of Crypto ETFs at Canary Capital 4:42 - Crypto ETFs as a Gateway: Making Digital Assets Easy to Access 6:32 - Who’s Really Buying Crypto ETFs Right Now? 7:19 - The ETF Filter: Which Crypto Assets Make the Cut 9:12 - First-Mover Advantage: Does Being Early Still Matter? 10:13 - From Simple ETFs to Smarter Crypto Products 12:22 - The Futures Question: What Unlocks the Next ETF Wave? 16:49 - If the Setup Is Bullish, Why Is Bitcoin Stalling? 18:56 - What Changes the Trend and Reignites the Cycle 21:26 - Ethereum’s Comeback: Smart Contracts and Real Adoption 24:11 - ⭐️Wealthion Golden Nugget: Looking Ahead to 2026 - Fed Policy, Liquidity, and Tailwinds 28:57 - Stablecoins Explained: The Quiet Force Reshaping Finance 33:32 - Internet Capital Markets: On-Chain Equities and the Future of ETFs 36:38 - Spot, ETFs, and Strategies: How Crypto Investing Evolves 41:10 - The Big Crypto Predictions for 2026 Connect with us online: Website: https://www.wealthion.com X: https://www.x.com/wealthion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wealthionofficial/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/wealthion/ #Wealthion #Wealth #Finance #Investing #PortfolioReview #InvestmentAdvice #FinancialPlanning #WealthManagement #Bitcoin #Crypto #CryptoETFs #BitcoinCycle #MarketStructure #FuturesMarket #BasisTrade #Altcoins #Stablecoins #Macro #Liquidity #FinancialMarkets #DigitalAssets ________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT NOTE: The information, opinions, and insights expressed by our guests and our hosts do not necessarily reflect the views of Wealthion or the views of their respective employers.

💡FREE access to the full interview and more exclusive content in the real assets sector by joining our Get Ready for Real Assets wait list: http://www.wealthion.com/getready In this conversation, Richard Young, President & CEO of i-80 Gold, joins Wealthion’s Trey Reik to discuss how his company is building a high-grade, mid-tier gold producer focused entirely on Nevada, one of the world’s best mining jurisdictions. Richard walks through i-80’s plan to grow production from under 50,000 ounces today to more than 600,000 ounces annually in the early 2030s, with the potential for long-life production way beyond that. The discussion highlights why high-grade underground mining, jurisdictional quality, and disciplined sequencing matter more than aggressive exploration in today’s gold market. Richard also outlines the key feasibility studies, recapitalization efforts, and development milestones investors should be watching over the next 12–24 months, before closing with his perspective on the global structural forces supporting gold and the importance of execution and asset quality. 💡Protect your wealth with real gold and silver through Hard Assets Alliance: https://www.hardassetsalliance.com/?aff=WTH 💡Concerned about today’s markets?

💡Worried that America’s fiscal crisis could trigger the next inflation shock? Get a free portfolio review with Chris Casey and the team at WindRock by going here: https://bit.ly/4q9uYFm The Federal Reserve may be cutting rates. But, according to Chris Casey, founder & managing director of WindRock Wealth Management, the most dangerous inflation hasn’t even started yet. In this conversation with Wealthion’s Maggie Lake, Casey explains why the Fed is far more limited than most investors realize, why markets are already looking past rate cuts, and why the next inflation wave won’t come from supply shocks or tariffs, but from the Fed’s inevitable response to an unsustainable debt load. “When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail,” Casey warns. With trillions in deficits and a fiscal system under strain, he argues that money printing becomes the default option — that’s when the real inflation risk emerges. 💡Get to Know Chris Casey: His Journey, Strategy, and Financial Philosophy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2DdcqtoBYs 💡 Looking to hedge fiscal risk, debt, and currency debasement?

💡Think “buy the dip” may no longer be enough? Get a free portfolio review with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors: https://bit.ly/48WIKnY The business cycle is dead. Bear markets are no more. Recessions, eliminated. At least, that’s how many investors view the market. But are these safe assumptions? In this interview with James Connor, economist David Rosenberg pushes back on these dangerous beliefs in investing today. He explains how complacency, hubris, and overconfidence have replaced risk management and why history suggests markets are ignoring forces they can’t repeal, no matter how strong the narrative feels. This isn’t a call to panic. It’s a warning about what happens when investors believe Mother Nature no longer applies to markets David also breaks down: * Why rate cuts aren’t actually stimulating the real economy * How stocks are being priced as if risk no longer exists * Why the equity wealth effect is masking weakness in the consumer * How AI-driven capex is distorting economic growth * Why the labor market is cracking beneath the headlines 💡 Worried today’s market optimism is masking real risk?

💡Uncertain about how a potential market downturn could affect your portfolio? Get a free, no-obligation portfolio review with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors at https://bit.ly/4pD6Vi6 Harry Dent argues that today’s markets are trapped in the largest and most artificial bubble in history, created by years of government deficits, money printing, and the suppression of natural economic cycles. In this conversation with Maggie Lake, he explains why demographics and generational spending patterns, not innovation alone, drive long-term booms and busts. Dent warns that eliminating recessions has destroyed true price discovery and made a soft landing impossible. He also breaks down why money velocity is signaling deep economic fragility and why millennials are being hurt most by inflated asset prices. Dent outlines what tends to break first when major bubbles unwind and why the initial phase of a crash often happens faster than investors expect. Finally, he shares how he thinks about positioning during extreme market stress and where opportunity may emerge after a full reset. 💡Protect your wealth with real gold and silver through Hard Assets Alliance: https://www.hardassetsalliance.com/?aff=WTH Chapters: 0:49 - Checking the Pulse: What Do You See Across Markets Today?   4:36 - Recalibrating Your Framework for a Government-Driven Boom 6:28 - “The Bubble That Never Bursts” — Or Just the Biggest Yet? 8:39 - Has Policy Killed True Price Discovery? 13:06 - Can Demographics Deflate the Bubble Without a Crash? 15:19 - The “K Economy” and Millennials Stuck on the Wrong Side 16:44 - Is There a Less Destructive Way to Help Millennials? 24:21 - Early Warning Signs: Where Does the Fallout Hit First? 25:40 - ⭐️Wealthion Golden Nugget: What Finally Pops The Bubble? 28:07 - Investor Playbook: How Should People Position Now? 30:07 - Timing the Trade: Early vs. Late in the Cycle 33:24 - Gold: Safe Haven or Just Another Bubble? 34:28 - Treasuries: Still the Last Safe Haven? 36:27 - Crypto in a Crash: Where Does Bitcoin Fit? 40:01 - What Would Change Your Mind: Is There a “Moderate” Exit?
