Charles Schwab just finished rolling out direct Bitcoin and Ethereum trading to millions of regular brokerage clients. It’s not the biggest news of the year on its own — but it’s another clear sign that crypto is moving deeper into the mainstream financial system.

Dr. Corey Petty joins Dads Gone Crypto to challenge one of the biggest assumptions about blockchain privacy.

If you put a real-world asset on a blockchain, how do you move it somewhere else without leaving the rules behind?

AI isn't just answering questions anymore. It's starting to hire other AI agents, pay them for work, use their results and continue operating — without a human approving every step. That sounds futuristic. It isn't. In this episode of Dads Gone Crypto, Sean and Ryan sit down with Dr David Minarsch, CEO of Valory and a founding member of Olas, to explore what a real autonomous agent...

BitMine has ~87% of a 5.9M ETH stack staked. SharpLink put $200M through Lido. BNY is adding staking to a $62T custody platform. So the new question isn’t “should institutions buy ETH?” It’s: if you already own it… why is it sitting idle? Kean Gilbert (Lido, Head of Institutional Relations) on whether unstaked ETH is becoming dead money — and what happens when staking gets too successful. Watch it...

Bitcoin just broke out of a six-week range. Billions of dollars in crypto shorts were wiped out. Ethereum moved. HYPE surged. And suddenly everyone is talking about crypto again. But the price pump may not be the most important thing happening. In this episode of Dads Gone Crypto, Sean and Ryan look underneath the move. The US Treasury is increasing liquidity-support buybacks in longer-dated gover...

What if you never missed a payment on a Bitcoin-backed loan... but your Bitcoin could still be liquidated because the market crashed? That's one of the problems Omer Husain believes crypto lending got fundamentally wrong. Omer is Co-Founder & CEO of POGUN — a team building a different approach to Bitcoin-backed credit. Instead of allowing price movements alone to determine default, POGUN...

Most people judge a token launch by what happens AFTER it goes live. The price. The volume. The pump. The dump. But what if the most important part of a token launch happens before the chart even exists? In this episode of Dads Gone Crypto, Sean and Ryan sit down with Bogdan Habić, Co-Founder & CTO of Tenderly, to investigate what actually makes an onchain project launch-ready. Watch it here:...

Dads… 594 Bitcoin ($38 million) was stolen in just 25 minutes from around 500 Coldcard hardware wallets.

But once you actually try to manage liquidity yourself, it gets complicated quickly. You need to understand liquidity ranges, volatility, rebalancing, impermanent loss, fee capture, slippage, execution risk, and when to move capital. That is the problem Capry is t...
