Episode notes
VanEck's Diversified Crypto ETF
- VanEck launched the Node ETF offering diversified exposure to crypto and blockchain-related equities with lower volatility sectors like energy.
- This balances risk by combining high-volatility crypto stocks with more stable dividend-paying utilities tied to the on-chain economy.
Energy Meets Bitcoin and AI
- Energy and utility companies are increasingly integrating with Bitcoin mining, often with state support in countries like Argentina.
- Combining AI, Bitcoin, and energy infrastructure growth could position the US as dominant in all three sectors.
Recession Risks Loom Large
- Despite recent rallies, Mike McGlone warns of a looming US recession affecting stocks, crypto, and bond yields due to high tariffs and stretched valuations.
- The current market bounce may be short-lived without proof of sustained growth.
