In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, David Duong from Coinbase explains why crypto markets are currently driven more by macro headlines than fundamentals. He highlights that institutional demand is rising rapidly, but many firms are still waiting for regulatory clarity before deploying significant capital. The conversation explores key growth areas like stablecoins, tokenization, and AI-powered crypto infrastructure as the next major drivers of adoption. Despite short-term volatility, the long-term outlook remains strong as crypto becomes more integrated into the global financial system.Check out Quince: https://quince.com/CRYPTO101Check out Shopify: https://shopify.com/crypto101Check out Mars Men: https://mengotomars.comGet my #1 altcoin pick for this month.Get immediate access to my entire crypto portfolio for just $1.00 today! Get your FREE copy of "Crypto Revolution" and start making big profits from buying, selling,Get immediate access to my entire crypto portfolio.. just $1.00 today!
