Tapping Into Crypto

Ted has officially abandoned the studio for a two-week holiday, so Pav is joined by our resident fraud and risk expert, Calum, to try and make sense of a market that is tearing up the traditional crypto playbook. The boys are breaking down the real drivers behind the HYPE pump, looking at everything from Goldman Sachs quietly scooping up massive positions to a brand new US Spot ETF sucking in $74 million in its first week and a half. Plus, we look at why historical midterm election data says a stock market drawdown is looming between May and October, why billionaire fund managers are dumping 95% of their blue-chip bags, and the legendary "Pentagon Pizza Index" that might be flashing an early warning sign for global markets. You’ll hear: - How Hyperliquid is completely eclipsing the rest of the market and trading in brand new territory . - Why giant fund managers and NASDAQ-listed companies lare aggressively building Hyperliquid treasuries - Inside the $74 million in cumulative net flows that completely flipped the "sell the news" script - The historical data that shows stock markets behaviour between May and October during a midterm year. - Why Kevin Warsh stepping in could signal a historical 6-to-12 month market drawdown . - The hilarious (but oddly accurate) way internet sleuths track geopolitical tension via late-night fast-food orders … and much more!

This week’s episode of Tapping Into Crypto brings some serious "all-rounder" energy to the studio! With Ted still settling into his Sydney digs, Pav is joined by Aussie cricketing royalty and Swyftx-sponsored athlete, Hayden Kerr. We’re trading the pitch for the charts as Hayden spills the tea on his seven-year crypto journey, from losing his first password (classic) to DCA’ing his match payments into Bitcoin while on the road with the Sydney Sixers. We dive into the locker room vibes, the gut-wrenching feeling of "chasing your tail" in a bull market, and why Hayden thinks the Fear & Greed index is the ultimate playbook for not stuffing up your portfolio. Whether you’re a die-hard cricket fan or just trying to survive the next cycle without catching a falling knife, this chat is a total six. You’ll hear: - What life in the off-season looks like for an elite cricketer and Hayden’s plans for international tournaments - How Hayden started DCA’ing his "match payments" into Bitcoin - Why getting the "fundamentals" right in cricket is exactly like surviving the crypto markets - The "Bored Ape" locker room stories of teammates on NFTs and how the "taboo" of crypto is slowly fading among athletes - Hayden’s shift to a more balanced, long-term wealth strategy - Hayden’s strategy in using the fear and greed index when buying … and much more!
