MoneyMasters Podcast 🎙️ 3/5/26: Why Wall Street is Finally Buying into Crypto

Mike Larson | Editor-in-Chief

At the 2026 MoneyShow Las Vegas, I sat down with Ophelia Snyder, co-founder of 21Shares, and Andrew McCormick, head of eToro US, to break down what’s really happening in crypto — and where the industry is headed next.

In this MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast episode, we talk through institutional adoption, recent Bitcoin volatility, and why long-term development in digital assets keeps moving forward...even during sharp pullbacks. Ophelia explains how crypto ETFs are changing access for investors, why distribution still matters, and why we’re still early in the “ETF-ification” of the crypto market.

We also dig into the rise of stablecoins, the impact of new US legislation, and what tokenization could mean for payments, investing, and financial infrastructure. It’s a practical, forward-looking conversation about access, regulation, and how digital assets are moving from the fringes to the core of global finance.

Roche: Politics, Geopolitics, and Controlling Your EMOTIONS as an Investor

At the 2026 MoneyShow Las Vegas, Cullen Roche of Discipline Funds warned that political bias is a dangerous trap. He also explained why you can’t ignore geopolitical developments — but you can avoid getting overly influenced by them. Finally, the MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast excerpt covers “tail risk” hedging…and strategies that help investors absorb shocks instead of reacting to them.

  As geopolitical conflicts heat up, watch a company called IperionX Ltd. (IPX). It’s based in Charlotte. And it’s one of my favorite “Commodities Supply Shortfall” stocks, notes Bill Patalon, chief stock picker at Stock Picker’s Corner.

• CAIE: A Swaps-Based ETF Focused on Income (Not Leverage)
  👉️ TICKER: CAIE
  When most investors hear “swaps in ETFs,” they immediately think of leveraged products. But firms like Calamos Investments are using swaps in ways that have little to do with leverage, writes Tony Dong, lead ETF analyst at ETF Central.
