Скачать или смотреть E129: Have You Been Involved with the Banks Screaming Stablecoin Yield While Tokenizing Everything?

It’s the pre-Valentine’s Day thaw in Washington, and the ABA is back in the White House like a jilted ex—demanding the government define stablecoin yield before community banks get replaced by a Coinbase login and a vibes-based APR.

In this episode of Off the Record, On the Rocks, Toner and BTC Ankarino run the tape in real time: the Clarity Act inches toward a breaking point, the new SEC chair starts whispering sweet nothings about tokenized assets, and the market mood swings from gold at all-time highs to Bitcoin doing the limbo (“how low can you go?”) while everyone pretends this is normal.

Meanwhile, the Super Bowl turns into the largest behavioral laboratory on Earth—where Kalshi/Polymarket-style prediction rails, AI-funded commercials, and synthetic hope wash over America like a digital Xanax. The ads don’t sell products. They sell trust. The bets don’t predict the future. They manufacture consensus. And the real tokenization story isn’t stocks or stablecoins—it’s you: your commute, your clicks, your “proof of human,” and the receipts you’ll need when reality gets paywalled.

Also on the bar tab: China’s Tesla door-handle “safety” excuse as narrative warfare, Waymo’s remote-human elephant in the room, Epstein-grade FUD as an adoption engine, and why “privacy vs surveillance” is the new national religion… conveniently outsourced to consumer hardware.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when banks fear yield, regulators chase relevance, and the future becomes a tradable instrument—congrats. You’re already in the market


Buy bags. Keep receipts. Don’t trust the door handles.
