About this episode

Mert Mumtaz discusses undervalued crypto assets and security standards in the industry.

Mert Mumtaz, co-founder and CEO of Helius, breaks down why he sees Solana and Zcash as two of crypto's most undervalued bets heading into 2026, using his "physics and incentives" framework to separate real conviction from trader noise.
