#121 Frank Hepworth | Regulation, DeFi Portfolios, and Why Institutions Buy the Top
Welcome to The Crypto Podcast. You can find all our episodes on thecryptopodcast.org. My guest today spent years inside the room where crypto’s rules actually get written. As a regulatory crypto attorney, he’s advised leading exchanges on exactly what they could and couldn’t legally offer, and he helped launch the first crypto ETFs on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Now he’s on the other side of the table as CEO of Yield School and founder of New Market Trading, helping everyday investors get access to the primary markets that most retail traders never know exist. Please welcome Frank Hepworth. In this episode, Roy and Frank cover the regulatory landscape shaping crypto today, including the Genius Act, the pending Clarity Act, and why Frank believes Europe’s MiCA legislation forced crypto into traditional finance and backfired. Frank explains how New Market Trading uses smart contract technology so clients retain full self-custody while still getting professional portfolio management, why institutional ETF buyers have been buying the top and selling the bottom like retail investors, and how he evaluates which crypto assets are worth investing in using a commodity-versus-business framework. The conversation closes with a detailed, refreshingly honest breakdown of why real estate tokenization is far less advanced than people assume, and why native on-chain companies, not tokenized off-chain assets, are where Frank believes the space is actually heading.

#120 AI, Bitcoin Security & Self-Custody: How Casa Protects Your Wealth | Paul Brower
In this episode of The Crypto Podcast, Roy sits down with Paul Brower, Director of Engineering at Casa — the gold standard in Bitcoin self-custody — where he leads a 12-person team building AI-first workflows to protect billions of dollars in Bitcoin. Before Casa, Paul spent seven years building the first FDA-approved digital pill software, was an early Bitcoin adopter since 2011 (including a Mt. Gox close call), and even spent three episodes on an MTV reality dating show. Paul breaks down how Casa’s multi-sig self-custody system works (2-of-3, 3-of-5), how attackers are now using AI-powered spearphishing and deepfakes to impersonate support staff, and how cryptographic PIN verification protects users from social engineering. He also covers key loss prevention (health checks, hardware redundancy, YubiKeys vs. Trezor/Ledger), Casa’s inheritance system for passing on Bitcoin securely, the risks of giving AI agents access to financial accounts, and why physical air-gapped hardware remains one of the strongest defenses against an increasingly AI-powered threat landscape.

He’s one of the few people in America who can say—credibly—that he hasn’t paid income tax in over 10 years and hasn’t held a driver’s license in nearly 20… with zero legal consequences. Not because he’s hiding, but because he understands the law better than the institutions enforcing it.Dan has beaten government agencies at their own game—from the IRS to the FEC—forcing them to back down when they overstep. He’s also taken on major corporations and won. His work isn’t theory.
