Ep. 712 Crypto Isn’t Dead — It’s Being Rebuilt by Wall Street: What Smart Money Is Buying Now

This episode features Aryan Sheikhalian Head of Research of CMT Digital, who explains how crypto has evolved from a niche asset class into institutional-grade infrastructure. He emphasizes that the current market volatility reflects a transition phase where traditional finance and blockchain are merging, especially through tokenization and on-chain settlement. The conversation highlights how investment strategies have shifted over time—from access and infrastructure to real utility and institutional integration. Aryan ultimately argues that long-term opportunity lies in solving real-world problems with decentralized systems that are more efficient than centralized alternatives.
