    ROLLUP: Iran Ceasefire Rally | Anthropic’s “Mythos” Model | Q-Day Divide | Stablecoin Yield Debate
    Apr 10 2026
    Markets are rallying on a fragile Iran ceasefire, but the real risks may be getting closer. David and Haseeb break down Anthropic’s secretive new AI model and why it could expose vulnerabilities across crypto, from smart contracts to core blockchain infrastructure, plus the growing divide around “Q-Day” and how urgent the quantum threat really is. They also unpack Iran’s unexpected use of Bitcoin in global trade, the White House’s stance on stablecoin yields, and why the market feels stable on the surface while bigger risks continue to build. --- 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium --- BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🔮POLYMARKET | #1 PREDICTION MARKET https://bankless.cc/polymarket-podcast 🪐GALAXYONE | SOLANA STAKING https://bankless.cc/GalaxyOne 🦊 METAMASK | DOWNLOAD NOW https://go.metamask.io/BL-Pod-Download 🏅BITGET TRADFI | TRADE GOLD WITH USDT https://bankless.cc/bitget 🎯THE DEFI REPORT | ONCHAIN INSIGHTS https://thedefireport.io/bankless 🐇MEGAETH | 1ST REAL-TIME BLOCKCHAIN https://bankless.cc/megaeth --- TIMESTAMPS & RESOURCES 0:00 Intro 1:56 Ceasefire in Iran https://images.wsj.net/im-97657631 https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2041728989119529307 https://x.com/WatcherGuru/status/2041867478033195336 15:43 Two Polymarkets of Relevance https://polymarket.com/event/iran-x-israelus-conflict-ends-by 70% chance the conflict ends by April 30 https://polymarket.com/event/will-the-us-invade-iran-before-2027 30% chance! 17:50 Anthropic Releases Project Glasswing https://x.com/AnthropicAI/status/2041578392852517128 https://red.anthropic.com/2026/mythos-preview/ https://x.com/DarioAmodei/status/2041580338426585171 https://x.com/hosseeb/status/2041579488224657581 https://x.com/kevinsxu/status/2042065892658258357 https://x.com/nic_carter/status/2041256570462326843 48:49 Satoshi is Adam Back? 57:44 The White House Weighs in on the Stablecoin Yield Debate https://www.whitehouse.gov/research/2026/04/effects-of-stablecoin-yield-prohibition-on-bank-lending/ 1:02:04 $MON trading above ICO price! https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/monad 1:05:47 Closing & Disclaimers --- Not financial or tax advice.

    The Largest Securities Exchange in the World is Coming Onchain | Michael Blaugrund of NYSE and Carlos Domingo of Securitize
    Apr 7 2026
    NYSE and Securitize are laying the rails to bring real, issuer-backed securities onchain. Michael Blaugrund of NYSE and Carlos Domingo of Securitize break down how blockchain-native equities could work in practice: transfer agents, tokenized issuance, interoperable trading infrastructure, 24/7 markets, and what it will take for public stocks to move from legacy rails to crypto rails. T They also explore how onchain equities could unlock faster settlement, better shareholder utility, and new DeFi use cases without sacrificing regulatory compliance. ------ 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium ------ 🔮POLYMARKET | #1 PREDICTION MARKET https://bankless.cc/polymarket-podcast 🪐GALAXYONE | SOLANA STAKING https://bankless.cc/GalaxyOne 🦊 METAMASK | DOWNLOAD NOW https://go.metamask.io/BL-Pod-Download 🏅BITGET TRADFI | TRADE GOLD WITH USDT https://bankless.cc/bitget 🎯THE DEFI REPORT | ONCHAIN INSIGHTS https://thedefireport.io/bankless 🐇MEGAETH | 1ST REAL-TIME BLOCKCHAIN https://bankless.cc/megaeth ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 0:52 NYSE x Securitize Partnership 4:57 Digital Transfer Agent 8:39 Blockchain Infrastructure 11:07 NYSE Alternative Trading System 17:01 Every NYSE Asset? 22:30 Portability & KYC 33:38 RWA Decentralization Debate 38:47 New NYSE Paradigm 44:46 24/7 365 Markets 48:03 Clarity Act 52:21 Issuer Choice 57:08 Tokenized Securities vs Perpetuals 1:00:24 Securitize Going Public 1:03:20 When Launch 1:04:04 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES Carlos Domingo https://x.com/carlosdomingo Michael Blaugrund https://x.com/mblaugrund Securitize https://securitize.io/ RWA Decentralization Debate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-h-PeUOvDw ------ Not financial or tax advice.
