Join me, Raoul Pal on a fascinating chat with my friends at Blockworks about Crypto Summer, the Banana Zone, the Liquidity Cycle, and more.

In this insightful episode of "On The Margin," I join Felix Jauvin to delve into the transition from crypto spring to crypto summer. I also explain how the interplay of disinflationary forces and slow-growing economies set the stage for a macro Utopia, driving central banks and governments to inject liquidity into the markets. This is the beginning of what I like to call the "banana zone," where things start to get really interesting.
