Pomp: 75% of Crypto Companies Won’t Survive; State Street's Tokenization Bridge

This episode of CoinDesk's Public Keys at the NYSE features three conversations with the most closely watched voices in crypto's institutional moment. ProCap Financial founder Anthony Pompliano argues that 75% of crypto companies "aren't going to be here in five years," and lays out the four areas he believes will survive — Bitcoin, equity infrastructure, stablecoins, and tokenization. Angus Fletcher, Head of Digital Assets at State Street, breaks down how the $30 trillion-plus custody bank is building the bridge between traditional finance and tokenized markets, including a new tokenized fund service launching from Luxembourg by the end of 2026. Plus, SharpLink CEO Joseph Chalom on the publicly traded Ethereum treasury company's 46% institutional ownership, why permanent ETH capital is reshaping on-chain finance, and why he believes ETH's risk/reward "has never been better." - Timecodes: 00:00 Welcome to Public Keys at NYSE 00:14 Pomp on 75% of Crypto Being "Dead and Never Coming Back" 02:30 The Four Survivors: Bitcoin, Infrastructure, Stablecoins, Tokenization 04:30 Ghost Chains and Why Crypto Needs to Grow Up 05:30 BlackRock Is Now a Bitcoin Company 09:00 Pomp on Prediction Markets and ETFs as "Biggest New Category" 12:30 State Street's Angus Fletcher Joins 14:30 Why Traditional and Digital Will Run Together 17:00 Regulatory Clarity as a Stamp of Approval 18:30 State Street Picks Luxembourg for Tokenized Funds 20:30 SharpLink CEO Joseph Chalom on Ethereum as Infrastructure 23:30 Permanent ETH Capital and Institutional Standards 26:30 Why Stablecoins Will Outpace Bitcoin Payments 31:00 Chalom: ETH Risk/Reward "Never Been Better" - This episode was hosted by Jennifer Sanasie.
