The Wolf Of All Streets

From The Daily Wolf with Scott Melker, live weekdays at 12pm ET on Yahoo Finance.

The DTCC's tokenization service went live with 34 securities and 20 Wall Street firms, among them J.P. Morgan, Citi, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and Fidelity. Scott Melker asks whether this is adoption or whether Wall Street took the technology and turned it into plumbing.

The Fed held rates in a 10-2 vote, then GDP came in at 3.4% and PCE inflation at 3.6%. Utah filed 14 criminal charges against Kalshi and its co-founders while the CFTC sued Utah to stop it. Westpac is capping crypto payments at A$10,000 a month, and Singapore police found tampered Ledger devices behind S$3.5 million in losses.

Matt Cole, Chairman and CEO of Strive, joins Scott to break down Bitwise's new forecast of $1.6 million per bitcoin by 2036, why corporate Bitcoin buying outside Strategy has dried up, and how Strive keeps adding bitcoin through digital credit after a $511 million buy took its treasury to about 43,000 BTC.
Matt explains why Bitwise's base case is defensible, why superintelligence and dollar debasement favor scarce assets like Bitcoin, and how Strive's fixed-rate SATS differs from SATA for income investors. They cover Strategy shareholders approving daily dividends, which Bitcoin treasury companies are likely to survive, blending Bitcoin with real estate, and why AI-driven hacks and hardware wallet tampering are pushing some holders away from self-custody for now. Scott closes with AI-found Bitcoin node bugs, Google's crypto custody system, DTCC's tokenization service, Stan Druckenmiller's first tweet, Coinbase earnings and Kalshi Bitcoin odds.

Robinhood's crypto revenue broke a three-quarter losing streak, rising 20% to $120 million. Almost every outlet led on the 55% drop from a year ago instead. Scott Melker walks through what the quarterly numbers actually show.

Intel, Oracle and IBM told OKX and ICE not to tokenize their shares, which takes the objector count to 26. Brazilian companies bought stablecoins on election day and the real crashed the next morning.

Scott Bessent, Secretary of the Treasury, told Ripple's conference that stablecoins will keep the dollar on top. And Datavault AI lost half its value after admitting it cannot withdraw the Bitcoin it booked as an asset.

Brett Tejpaul, Co-CEO of Coinbase Institutional, joins Scott to talk about where Bitcoin's biggest buyers went, with the Coinbase Premium negative through October, and why seven of the world's largest banks are now building on Coinbase infrastructure for stablecoin payments and institutional crypto adoption.

Hyperliquid named Payward, Kraken's parent, as its intended first CFTC-regulated deployer on Monday. If regulators approve it, Bitnomial would run the markets and NinjaTrader Clearing would hold client accounts, giving US traders access to perpetual futures they have been locked out of.

The same day, Ripple won final approval for Ripple National Trust Bank, which will manage the reserves behind its $2.5 billion RLUSD stablecoin.

Scott Melker also covers BlackRock testing a yen stablecoin in Japan, Binance filing for a Brazilian licence, and Canada copying the GENIUS Act.
