CRYPTO 101

With the momentum in the NEAR Token we wanted to release this interview from the Out East Conference this July so there may be some backadated info around Clarity Act but the NEAR info is still timely!
In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Abhishek Vaidyanathan, Chief Legal Officer at the Near Foundation, joins from the Out East Summit to explain how Near is building at the intersection of AI, intents, privacy, and programmable assets. He breaks down how Near Intents started with cross-chain asset swaps and has already expanded to more than 100 assets across 30-plus blockchains, with roughly 20 billion in volume. The conversation covers AI agents, machine-to-machine payments, agent marketplaces, quantum resistance, collapsing app interfaces, model routing, regulatory clarity, tokenized equities, and why crypto may become the natural payment layer for AI. Abhishek also explains what is next for Near as the token price sees a lot of momentum this fall.

In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Reid Cuming, co-founder of Superstate and Ground, joins Bryce and Brendan to explain how Ground is making stablecoin cash management easier for fintechs, neobanks, exchanges, payments companies, and cross-border money movers. He breaks down how Ground acts like a Stripe-style API for stablecoins, letting companies access tokenized assets, RWAs, lending protocols, LSTs, and yield products without having to manage complicated smart contract integrations themselves.

In this Crypto Rundown, Tevo and Brian break down why crypto is still rallying even after the Fed raised rates and the Clarity Act failed, calling it a major sign of strength for the market. They explain how Bitcoin absorbed negative macro headlines, why crypto may be catching up after its own bear market, and why this next bull run is likely to reward research, strong narratives, and specific winners instead of every altcoin moving together. The conversation covers the SEC’s new tokenization pathway, why tokenized stocks could keep moving forward even without the Clarity Act, and how agencies like the SEC and CFTC are continuing to push on-chain finance ahead. Tevo and Brian also dive deep into Zcash’s massive breakout, the privacy narrative, institutional interest, market cap upside, and the ZCAT meme coin as the riskier casino version of the Zcash trade.
