James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, joins Rupert Pickering on the AllInCrypto podcast to break down one of the biggest shifts happening in crypto right now.In this episode, we discuss why Bitcoin has remained resilient during the Iran crisis, what institutional fund flows are really telling us, and why James believes the traditional 4-year Bitcoin cycle may be losing relevance.We also dive into Bitcoin’s role as an emerging store of value, whether governments like the UK should treat Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, and how institutional adoption is evolving across Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana and beyond.James also explains why Ethereum may be one of the biggest winners from stablecoin legislation, what CoinShares’ data is showing about whale selling vs ETF buying, and why most institutions are still massively underexposed to Bitcoin despite the success of spot ETFs.Topics covered in this episode:Why Bitcoin performed strongly during the Iran crisisWhether Bitcoin is becoming a true safe haven assetWhale selling, ETF inflows and the recent market correctionWhy the 4-year cycle may be breaking downInstitutional Bitcoin adoption and portfolio allocation trendsWhy Ethereum could benefit from stablecoin growthXRP, Solana and altcoin fund flow trendsWhy the UK should consider Bitcoin as a strategic reserveThe future of crypto regulation, ETFs and institutional capitalIf you enjoy macro, Bitcoin, institutional crypto adoption and deep market analysis, this is an episode you do not want to miss.

n this episode of the AllInCrypto Podcast, Rupert Pickering sits down with Richard Brown, CEO of R3, to explore one of the biggest shifts happening in crypto and global finance today: the move from private enterprise blockchains to public blockchain infrastructure.Richard explains how R3 originally built Corda to solve reconciliation and data-sharing problems inside traditional finance, why that model could only go so far, and why R3 is now pushing toward public chains, tokenized real world assets, institutional DeFi, and Solana.They break down why RWAs have not yet gone from $10 billion to $1 trillion, why the issue is more about product design than demand, how yield, liquidity, accessibility and DeFi composability matter, and why R3 believes the future of new issuance is increasingly permissionless.The conversation also covers privacy on-chain, public vs private chains, interoperability, why Solana was chosen, and Richard’s thoughts on CBDCs, stablecoins, and the future of money.If you want to understand where institutional crypto is really heading, this is a must-watch.Guest: Richard Brown, CEO of R3Topics covered: R3, Corda, Solana, tokenized real world assets, institutional DeFi, interoperability, stablecoins, CBDCs, public vs private blockchains, and the future of finance.Not financial advice.

In this episode, we sit down with Matthew Schultz (CEO of CleanSpark) to break down how Bitcoin miners can stabilize power grids in seconds, why AI/HPC is reshaping the energy landscape, and how CleanSpark is positioning itself for what comes next. We cover the real economics behind land + power, the interruptible load advantage, the hidden risks inside AI data center contracts, and why CleanSpark’s counter-cyclical strategy helped it scale while others got wiped out.

In this episode, we sit down with Sid Powell, Co-Founder & CEO of Maple Finance, to break down how institutional crypto lending is evolving—and why the next wave of DeFi value may come from real revenues, cash flow, and “earnings per token.”Sid shares how Maple underwrites Bitcoin-backed loans for institutions, why they focus on deep-liquidity collateral (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP), what really happens during sharp drawdowns (margin calls, liquidations), and why he believes blockchains will eat finance over the next decade.We also dive into Syrup, Maple’s governance token, how Maple thinks about buybacks vs reinvesting, and why applications may capture more value than infrastructure over time.

We’re entering a new era where data behaves like energy, AI collapses the value of “knowledge”, and the real differentiator becomes wisdom: executable knowledge.In this episode of the All In Crypto Podcast, Rupert Pickering sits down with Michael Clarke — global advisor, product builder, and author of Our Moment — to explore the hard decisions leaders, governments, and investors must make as AI, tokenisation, and digital infrastructure reshape society.Michael argues we’re moving from a wealth-based economy to an intelligence-based economy, where access, interoperability, and governance will decide whether the future becomes our moment… or theirs.If you enjoyed this conversation, subscribe and share it with someone who’s trying to understand where the world is heading.Guest: Michael ClarkeWebsite: https://www.michaelclark.ai/Book: Our Moment (link): https://ourmoment.ai/

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
