About this episode

Dan Tapiero says digital assets are on a path to $50 trillion, and Bitcoin's bear market is already behind us. Live from DAS London, the 50T Funds CEO and CIO joins Andy to explain why institutions, ETFs, and stablecoins mean the horse has left the barn, how 50T backs growth-stage companies at 3 to 6 times revenue, and why stablecoins, tokenization, prediction markets, and onchain perps have been the real winners. He walks through Deribit and Ledger, the rise of agentic finance, Bitcoin as the biggest money innovation since gold, and his macro view on the Fed, AI-driven deflation, and the road to a $1 million Bitcoin. Dan Tapiero is the Founder, CEO, and CIO of 50T Funds. The Rollup is where the leaders of digital assets and finance converge. Live from the financial capital of the world.
