Episode notes
Wild West Crypto Risks
- Crypto markets act like a global Wild West because major trading hubs sit offshore with little regulation.
- Binance's large, opaque leverage can force rapid liquidations and spike volatility across all crypto.
Stablecoin Fragility
- Stablecoins are central to crypto payments but face concentration risk from dominant issuers.
- Tether's opaque investments could destabilize the stablecoin market and spill over to regulated firms like Circle.
Narrow Market Breadth Warning
- Market breadth is weakening despite index highs because fewer stocks are carrying the gains.
- Less than 60% of the S&P 500 sits above its 50-day moving average, signaling a narrow, tired market.
