In this episode, Matt Hougan and Base Head of Growth Antonio García Martínez break down the rise of tokenized stocks, why traditional financial assets are moving onto crypto rails, and what this could mean for investors. We explore how tokenized equities could transform the stock market by enabling 24/7 trading, near-instant settlement, onchain lending, borrowing, and yield opportunities. We also discuss Base’s early success with tokenized stocks, the growth of onchain trading volume, and why assets like Nvidia can now be used as collateral inside DeFi protocols such as Aave.~~~~~ 🚨Want to see what John’s actually buying?

In this episode, Geoffrey explains why he believes tokenization is now “100% locked in,” why traditional finance is moving onchain, and how that shift could create massive opportunities across decentralized exchanges, lending, asset management, and Layer 2 infrastructure. We break down his highest-conviction altcoin picks - Uniswap (UNI), Aave (AAVE), Morpho (MORPHO), and Arbitrum (ARB) - and the logic behind some of Standard Chartered’s most aggressive long-term crypto price targets.~~~~~ 🚨Want to see what John’s actually buying?

In this episode of Milk Road Crypto, John Gillen sits down with Joe Andrews, co-founder and CEO of Aztec Labs, to break down the return of ZK.money, Aztec’s privacy-focused Ethereum Layer 2, and why programmable privacy could become one of the most important pieces of crypto infrastructure. Today, using Ethereum can expose your wallet balance, transaction history, counterparties, and financial activity to anyone. Aztec is betting that zero-knowledge proofs can change that, bringing private payments, private DeFi, identity verification, institutional finance, and eventually AI-powered transactions to Ethereum without giving up decentralization.~~~~~ 🚨Want to see what John’s actually buying?

Bitcoin is pulling back after reclaiming a key long-term technical level - so is this just a healthy dip, or are the bears about to take control again? In today’s episode, John and LG break down the latest Bitcoin price action, why the recent weekly close still matters, and what would invalidate the bullish setup. They also dig into the growing macro risks facing markets, including rising bond yields, liquidity pressures, and why crypto may still be showing relative strength despite a shakier backdrop.~~~~~ 🚨Want to see what John’s actually buying?

In this episode of Milk Road Crypto, Greg explains why crypto is entering a new “dispersion regime” where fundamentals, token design, revenue, unlocks, and value accrual increasingly determine which assets outperform, and which ones could keep falling even in a bull market. We break down how TAG Capital approaches crypto as a long/short fund, why shorting weak tokens helped drive performance during the bear market, and what Greg looks for when deciding whether a token is fundamentally mispriced.~~~~~ 🚨Want to see what John’s actually buying?

In this episode of Milk Road Crypto, John Gillen sits down with Trevor King, Head of Investor Relations and Growth at Lighter, to break down how the zero-fee, ZK-powered perpetual exchange plans to compete as crypto derivatives move toward mainstream and institutional adoption. Trevor explains why Lighter believes the total addressable market for perps could grow dramatically as U.S. regulation opens the door to traditional financial institutions, brokers, and fintech platforms. He also breaks down why distribution, not just technology, could become the defining competitive advantage against platforms like Hyperliquid.~~~~~ 🚨Want to see what John’s actually buying?

Eliezer explains why he believes Hyperliquid has the potential to become the second-largest crypto asset after Bitcoin, how 24/7 markets could reshape global price discovery, and why liquidity may give Hyperliquid a powerful advantage over both crypto-native and traditional competitors.~~~~~ 🚨Want to see what John’s actually buying?

In this episode of Milk Road Crypto, John Gillen sits down with Louis Regis, founder and CEO of Proper, an onchain prop trading firm built on Hyperliquid, to explore how AI agents, automated trading, perpetual futures, prediction markets, and decentralized infrastructure could reshape the future of crypto markets. Louis explains why roughly one-third of Proper’s users are already agents or algorithmic traders, why bots may have an advantage when it comes to risk management, and why prop trading could become a powerful way to allocate capital to autonomous trading systems without putting large amounts of money at risk upfront.~~~~~ 🚨Want to see what John’s actually buying?

In this episode, LG Doucet and John Gillen break down why Bitcoin’s latest breakout could represent a major shift in market structure, why the failure of the CLARITY Act may have actually removed one of crypto’s biggest overhangs, and why sidelined capital could now start moving aggressively back into digital assets. They also explore what comes next for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins as risk appetite returns. John explains why tokens with real users, revenue, and direct value accrual, including projects using token burns, buybacks, reserves, and fee mechanisms, could become some of the biggest beneficiaries of the next phase of the market.~~~~~ 🚨Want to see what John’s actually buying?
