In this episode of Milk Road Crypto, John sits down with Jamie Coutts, Chief Crypto Analyst at Real Vision and founder of Helios Analytics, to discuss Bitcoin's next move, the future of altcoins, and why DeFi could finally outperform BTC. Jamie explains why he's shifting his portfolio toward DeFi and Layer 1 blockchains after years of Bitcoin dominance. He also introduces his "Crypto Payback Era" thesis, revealing how nearly $2 billion in value returned to tokenholders, declining token issuance, and improving protocol fundamentals could transform the cryptocurrency market.
Today on Milk Road Crypto, John is joined by David Duong, former Global Head of Research at Coinbase Institutional and newly appointed Head of US at Ethereum Institutional, to break down what Wall Street's move into crypto really means for Ethereum, Bitcoin, and the next generation of altcoins. David explains why JPMorgan's Ethereum adoption could be a turning point for institutional crypto, the hidden challenge preventing ETH from benefiting directly from growing network activity, and whether Ethereum could finally outperform Bitcoin.
Today on Milk Road Crypto, John sits down with Sam MacPherson, co-founder and CEO of Spark Finance, one of the largest capital allocators in DeFi and part of the Sky ecosystem. Sam explains why the next wave of institutional crypto adoption could transform stablecoins, Ethereum, DeFi lending, and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. With banks, fintech giants, and Wall Street preparing to enter the stablecoin market, which crypto projects are best positioned to benefit?
In today's episode of Milk Road Crypto, John and LG break down why Bitcoin's Bollinger Bands are tightening, signaling that a major volatility event could be approaching. John identifies $83,500 as the key breakout level that could send BTC toward $90,000-$95,000, while $78,000 remains a crucial level of support. Meanwhile, traditional financial markets are showing signs of stress. Hedge funds are unwinding leverage, AI stocks are facing selling pressure, and macroeconomic uncertainty continues to grow. Yet Bitcoin is refusing to break down. Is this the ultimate bullish signal, or is the crypto market preparing for another major correction?
In today's episode of Milk Road Crypto, John sits down with John Hoffman, Managing Director at Ondo Finance, who previously spent nearly 20 years at Invesco and held a leadership role at Grayscale. Hoffman explains why the rise of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization reminds him of the early ETF revolution, how Ondo Finance is bringing traditional financial assets onto blockchain infrastructure, and why Wall Street's transition to onchain finance could happen much faster than most investors expect.
