The Ethereum Podcast with Paul Barron

China just made its first mid-month liquidity injection in history — $52 billion overnight — while state funds pour billions more into a market down 21% from its June highs. That money is chasing the AI trade, not crypto, and CXMT just became the most valuable company in the country while its own index bled. We break down what China is really protecting, where the liquidity is actually going, and why crypto is getting left behind. Plus: Tether's first-ever Big Four audit lands a clean opinion from KPMG, and the Lutnick conflict nobody wants to talk about.~This episode is sponsored by Uphold~Uphold Staking ➜ https://bit.ly/UpholdStakingPB00:00 intro00:10 Sponsor: Uphold Staking00:50 China equities still bleeding01:00 US investors dumping China ETFs?01:20 US money swap to Hong Kong01:35 China "Pump Team"01:55 PBOC's first-ever mid-month injection02:05 Why: $28 trillion mobilized for the AI race02:20 CXMT biggest Asia IPO03:05 China Pumping CXMT03:25 China wrecking Bitcoin04:05 If they pump, we pump04:45 Crypto suffers05:25 Apple treason05:45 China Gold06:35 UK terrified07:15 Tether finally audited07:55 Paolo CEO: the witch is dead09:30 Lutnik owns Tether#Crypto #Tether #China~China's Liquidity Pump Is Draining Crypto 📉 Tether May Have Saved Us 🔥~⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺Join our community!The Barron Market Edge (FREE)➜ https://www.paulbarronnetwork.com/barron-market-edge-signupPrivate Telegram Group (FREE) ➜ PBN Market Edge Grouphttps://t.me/+nISqoMxrok40NTcxFollow Paul on Instagram ➜ https://bit.ly/realpaulbarronSubscribe on YouTube ✅ https://bit.ly/PBNYoutubeSubscribeTwitter 📱 http://bit.ly/PBNtwitter~ The Best Self-Custody Wallet ➜ https://tangem.com/en/ Use Code PBN for Additional Discounts!~ The Best Crypto Exchange ➜ BTCC get special trading fees - https://bit.ly/PBNBTCC~ Looking for the CRYPTO IRA?

The SEC cancelled its first major crypto rulemaking meeting with no new date, killing what was supposed to be the industry's path forward after CLARITY stalled in the Senate. The token safe harbor and startup fundraising exemption are now in limbo, and the tokenization innovation exemption got delayed the same week. We break down what was on the table, why the timing is brutal with cloture not ripening until September 15, and how traditional finance keeps winning every round while crypto waits for rules that never arrive.~This episode is sponsored by Tangem~Tangem ➜ https://bit.ly/TangemPBNUse Code: "PBN" for Additional Discounts!00:00 intro00:10 Sponsor: Tangem00:50 Delayed01:20 Stakeholders?02:00 CLARITY cheerleaders02:30 CEO Citi wants to ban yields03:45 Patrick McHenry debunks bank deposit flight04:40 Banks are winning05:45 Crypto dead narrative back06:00 Fear and greed06:40 BTC trend break07:15 XRP concerns#Crypto #XRP #Bitcoin~SEC Delay Crashing Crypto🔥TradFi Wins Again🚨~⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺Join our community!The Barron Market Edge (FREE)➜ https://www.paulbarronnetwork.com/barron-market-edge-signupPrivate Telegram Group (FREE) ➜ PBN Market Edge Grouphttps://t.me/+nISqoMxrok40NTcxFollow Paul on Instagram ➜ https://bit.ly/realpaulbarronSubscribe on YouTube ✅ https://bit.ly/PBNYoutubeSubscribeTwitter 📱 http://bit.ly/PBNtwitter~ The Best Self-Custody Wallet ➜ https://tangem.com/en/ Use Code PBN for Additional Discounts!~ The Best Crypto Exchange ➜ BTCC get special trading fees - https://bit.ly/PBNBTCC~ Looking for the CRYPTO IRA?

Is this the last window to load up before institutions move in? Chris Perkins, Head of Franklin Crypto at Franklin Templeton ($1.7 trillion AUM), joins us to break down why they launched a crypto division into a 46% drawdown, where tokenization goes after money funds, and what institutions are actually buying right now.GUEST: Chris Perkins - Head of Franklin CryptoX Account: https://x.com/perkinscr9700:00 intro00:05 Sponsor: Uphold01:00 Sandy Kaul: Need to own tokens now!03:15 SEC Exemption06:20 Are you planning on releasing something major soon?07:30 What is the hold up?08:00 How will Franklin draw in Defi OGs?10:30 Did DTCC & Citadel compromise SEC?13:40 Mike Novagratz: Memecoin fine print14:30 Is crypto done with Trump?17:50 Crypto needs a new narrative?19:00 Tom Lee: Broader de-risking in September21:30 Wallet hacks vs Cybersecurity#Crypto #Ethereum #Bitcoin~30 Days To Load Up?🚀Franklin Templeton Crypto💰Chris Perkins INTERVIEW~⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺Join our community!The Barron Market Edge (FREE)➜ https://www.paulbarronnetwork.com/barron-market-edge-signupPrivate Telegram Group (FREE) ➜ PBN Market Edge Grouphttps://t.me/+nISqoMxrok40NTcxFollow Paul on Instagram ➜ https://bit.ly/realpaulbarronSubscribe on YouTube ✅ https://bit.ly/PBNYoutubeSubscribeTwitter 📱 http://bit.ly/PBNtwitter~ The Best Self-Custody Wallet ➜ https://tangem.com/en/ Use Code PBN for Additional Discounts!~ The Best Crypto Exchange ➜ BTCC get special trading fees - https://bit.ly/PBNBTCC~ Looking for the CRYPTO IRA?

Washington just proved you can't bet on it — so where does smart money go when everything breaks? We break down the three tokens built for exactly this moment: one defensive, one offensive, one growth engine. Each one has already won its battles, generates real value, and has a history of climbing while everything else falls. Full breakdown with the criteria, the disqualified names, and the catalysts coming next.~This episode is sponsored by Tangem~Tangem ➜ https://bit.ly/TangemPBNUse Code: "PBN" for Additional Discounts!00:00 intro00:10 Sponsor: Tangem01:00 Grayscale positioning for CLARITY not passing01:40 Chaos is a ladder02:00 The setup03:10 The Filter04:20 Disqualified06:00 Pick 1: Tokenized Gold - DEFENSE07:30 Fort Knox Audited?07:45 Retail is back08:30 Tokenized gold holders08:50 UK Gold CLARITY09:30 Pick 2: Uniswap - OFFENSE11:25 October 10th11:45 Grayscale rebalances12:30 UNI Burn by Chain12:50 SEC favors Uniswap13:00 Uniswap Judge "defies logic"13:30 Pick 3: Solana - GROWTH ENGINE15:00 IPO season15:20 HYPE losing to SOL15:45 Prediction markets16:10 Solana 2x Speed16:20 Double Disinflation13:36 Stablecoin Payments17:00 Breakpoint + Midterms17:20 The catalyst stack18:50 Takeaways20:00 Don't count out Ethereum#Crypto #CLARITY #Gold~CLARITY-Proof Portfolio Analysis 🔥Chaos Is a Ladder🪜~⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺Join our community!The Barron Market Edge (FREE)➜ https://www.paulbarronnetwork.com/barron-market-edge-signupPrivate Telegram Group (FREE) ➜ PBN Market Edge Grouphttps://t.me/+nISqoMxrok40NTcxFollow Paul on Instagram ➜ https://bit.ly/realpaulbarronSubscribe on YouTube ✅ https://bit.ly/PBNYoutubeSubscribeTwitter 📱 http://bit.ly/PBNtwitter~ The Best Self-Custody Wallet ➜ https://tangem.com/en/ Use Code PBN for Additional Discounts!~ The Best Crypto Exchange ➜ BTCC get special trading fees - https://bit.ly/PBNBTCC~ Looking for the CRYPTO IRA?

XRP briefly broke below $1 today, touching 99 cents and leading the entire market lower — but is this the edge of a collapse or the setup for a ferocious bounce? Master trader Gareth Soloway joins us with his technical analysis charts to break down XRP's critical level, where the market goes from here, and the key levels every trader needs to watch. We also cover Bitcoin, the broader red day, and what the charts say happens next.~This episode is sponsored by iTrust Capital~iTrustCapital | Get $100 Funding Reward + No Monthly Fees when you sign up using our custom link! ➜ https://bit.ly/iTrustPaulGuest: Gareth Soloway Chief Market Strategist of InTheMoneyStocks.comJoin Gareth's Stock & Crypto course using our link! ➜ https://verifiedinvesting.com/products/the-winning-trader-series00:00 intro00:10 Sponsor: iTrust Capital01:00 XRP CLARITY: Where is Brad?01:30 XRP analysis02:50 XRP if CLARITY doesn't pass?05:40 MSTR trade dead?07:15 STRC back to $100?08:00 BTC analysis09:40 CNBC: S&P 9,000 by 202710:45 BTC vs S&P11:15 ETH analysis12:50 UNI analysis16:00 HOOD vs COIN17:00 SOL analysis18:40 Has crypto bottomed?19:30 Gold analysis21:50 Biggest catalyst affecting markets right now?24:00 Gareth is bullish on...?#Crypto #XRP #Bitcoin~XRP $1 Wall: Break or Bounce?📈@GarethSolowayProTrader Technical Analysis~⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺Join our community!The Barron Market Edge (FREE)➜ https://www.paulbarronnetwork.com/barron-market-edge-signupPrivate Telegram Group (FREE) ➜ PBN Market Edge Grouphttps://t.me/+nISqoMxrok40NTcxFollow Paul on Instagram ➜ https://bit.ly/realpaulbarronSubscribe on YouTube ✅ https://bit.ly/PBNYoutubeSubscribeTwitter 📱 http://bit.ly/PBNtwitter~ The Best Self-Custody Wallet ➜ https://tangem.com/en/ Use Code PBN for Additional Discounts!~ The Best Crypto Exchange ➜ BTCC get special trading fees - https://bit.ly/PBNBTCC~ Looking for the CRYPTO IRA?

The CLARITY Act finally has a September 15th vote — but according to our guest it's just a cloture vote, a "vote for a vote" that lets senators pretend to care while the bill goes nowhere. Kevin Wysocki, Head of Policy at Anchorage Digital, breaks down how the banking lobby masterfully wrecked crypto's most important bill, why even 8 Republicans still won't commit, and why zero Democrats are on board. We dig into what's really blocking CLARITY, the stablecoin yield fight, and whether the bill has any path left in 2026.~This episode is sponsored by iTrust Capital~iTrustCapital | Get $100 Funding Reward + No Monthly Fees when you sign up using our custom link! ➜ https://bit.ly/iTrustPaulGUEST: Kevin Wysocki, Head of Policy, Anchorage DigitalX Account: https://x.com/KevWysocki00:00 intro00:10 Sponsor: iTrust Capital00:45 Ben McKenzie gloats that he killed CLARITY01:45 What happened03:45 Banks will dominate CLARITY regulation?05:30 What happens in September?07:45 Republican betrayals10:00 Vote for a vote?11:00 Odds spike?13:50 Anti-Crypto ads already running15:00 Fairshake war chest useless if voting starts in September?18:30 Crypto vs Investigations19:50 Lummis & Moreno FINALLY go on the offense20:30 How much ground will the banks gain in the next 30 days22:40 SEC won’t release guidance until after September vote fails?24:40 Republicans fumbled their chance to distance themselves from WLFI26:30 Crypto industry isn’t prepared from Trump trials#Crypto #Bitcoin #XRP~Banks OUTPLAYED Crypto🚨CLARITY's September Vote Too Late?💥Anchorage Digital INTERVIEW~⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺Join our community!The Barron Market Edge (FREE)➜ https://www.paulbarronnetwork.com/barron-market-edge-signupPrivate Telegram Group (FREE) ➜ PBN Market Edge Grouphttps://t.me/+nISqoMxrok40NTcxFollow Paul on Instagram ➜ https://bit.ly/realpaulbarronSubscribe on YouTube ✅ https://bit.ly/PBNYoutubeSubscribeTwitter 📱 http://bit.ly/PBNtwitter~ The Best Self-Custody Wallet ➜ https://tangem.com/en/ Use Code PBN for Additional Discounts!~ The Best Crypto Exchange ➜ BTCC get special trading fees - https://bit.ly/PBNBTCC~ Looking for the CRYPTO IRA?
