Exclusive from theCUBE + NYSE Wired’s “Crypto Trailblazers: Wall St On-Chain” series at the New York Stock Exchange, Shawn Douglass, co-founder and CEO of Amberdata, joins host John Furrier for an in-depth conversation unpacking the rapid convergence of TradFi and DeFi. Douglass details how regulatory clarity in the U.S. – via the GENIUS Act (stablecoins) and the CLARITY Act (market infrastructure) – is paving the way for mainstream adoption and transparent markets. He explains Amberdata’s role delivering “operational telemetry” to help institutions understand liquidity across 24/7 venues. Douglass also notes Nasdaq’s early investment in Amberdata and highlights Amberdata’s analytics powering trade-surveillance “smarts,” as market structure modernizes for an always-on economy. Data, AI, and derivatives are all in discussion as Douglass reveals Amberdata’s 16 petabytes of digital-asset data from 60+ exchanges, long enhanced with AI/ML for anomaly detection and quality. He previews training LLMs on this corpus to power Wall Street–style analytics, while exploring stablecoins as the backbone of internet-scale commerce and 24/7 rails reshaping risk and product design. Douglass also calls Coinbase’s $4.4B Deribit deal a “kingmaker” move with big implications for tokenized commodities and global markets – underscoring why Amberdata’s eight-year data moat is now core infrastructure for traders, risk managers, regulators and builders.

In this exclusive conversation from theCUBE + NYSE Wired’s “Crypto Trailblazers: Wall St On Chain” event, Randall Little, partner at 50T Funds, joins theCUBE’s John Furrier to unpack where crypto and Wall Street intersect as institutional adoption accelerates. Little explains why the market is still “early” despite unprecedented momentum over the last six months, how regulatory clarity is unlocking institutional demand and why digitization of value (beyond the earlier electronification of markets) is rewiring the financial “plumbing.” He shares why payments remain the most obvious near-term use case and why real businesses – not “one-trick ponies” – are now in the IPO spotlight. Little details 50T Funds’ growth-stage thesis (tilting toward $50M+ revenue, institutional demand and downside protection) and highlights portfolio activity around Figure, Gemini and Kraken. The discussion dives into what it really takes to be public-market ready – from SOX and accounting blocking-and-tackling to proving modelable, multi-product revenue that can endure cycles. Little contrasts retail-driven token hype with equity value creation as the IPO window opens and cautions founders to optimize for optionality, avoid over-hiring and to tune out “shiny objects.” Looking forward, he expects mainstream experiences to abstract DeFi complexity as hundreds of millions adopt crypto for payments and trading, with ecosystem building (and a community mindset) helping later-stage companies scale in tandem with institutions like BlackRock and Fidelity alongside moves from firms such as Stripe and Circle.

Broadcasting from theCube + NYSE Wired’s “Crypto Trailblazers: Wall St On-Chain” interview series, host John Furrier sits down for an exclusive interview with Elliot Han, chief investment officer at C1 Fund, to unpack how a publicly listed, closed-end vehicle is opening access to late-stage digital asset companies. Han shares why C1 Fund listed on Aug. 7 and how the structure gives retail and small-to-mid cap institutions liquidity and transparency into private-market equity – without investing in speculative tokens. Han walks through the journey from the first crypto SPAC effort to launching what he describes as the only publicly listed closed-end fund focused on digital assets, explaining how regulatory progress and market “commerciality” are accelerating mainstream participation. The discussion digs into selection criteria (scale, governance and revenue durability), portfolio construction (a curated set—up to ~30 names—of later-stage, often profitable companies) and mechanics (equity and equity-linked stakes, secondary platforms, sellers from early investors to employees and a 12–36 month exit horizon). Han details quarterly NAV disclosures and why institutional and retail demand converge around access and diligence at scale. He also offers perspective on regulators’ balanced approach, global opportunities (with stated geographic exclusions) and what first-mover advantage means as digital assets become core financial infrastructure.

Join us on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, where host John Furrier meets with David Namdar – CEO of CEA Industries and BNB Network Co. – to unpack a new digital-asset treasury play in an exclusive theCUBE + NYSE Wired “Crypto Trailblazers: Wall St On-Chain" interview. Namdar details a $500M PIPE at CEA Industries and the launch of BNB Network Co. as a bid to become the first NASDAQ-listed BNB treasury strategy. He contrasts the approach with the MicroStrategy model and explains why he believes BNB is undervalued: Binance’s scale (~290M users and volumes 5–8x Coinbase), BNB’s deflationary mechanics and BNB’s role as “digital infrastructure equity.” The conversation grounds big-picture market caps (Bitcoin around $2T, Ethereum near $500B, BNB about $120B) in a practical thesis around disciplined accumulation. Furrier and Namdar dig into the collision of DeFi and TradFi by comparing treasury strategies with passive ETFs, flagging $100–$200B in expected capital inflows via public markets and reading policy shifts that could open U.S. investor access to global exchanges. Namdar unpacks BNB’s token economics, with dual burn mechanisms removing 4–5% of supply – over $1B each quarter – and momentum around tokenized stocks and RWAs. He stresses optimism as the engine of financial entrepreneurship, noting BNB’s near all-time highs and consistent outperformance of Bitcoin since his strategy began.

Join theCUBE + NYSE Wired as host John Furrier unpacks a “pure-play” Bitcoin strategy with Matt Prusak, president of American Bitcoin in this “Crypto Trailblazers: Wall St On-Chain” exclusive. Prusak explains how American Bitcoin operates a “several-percent of the global network” mining footprint to help secure the ~$2T Bitcoin market and accumulate BTC on the balance sheet, which positions the company to become a category leader across the ecosystem. He also shares why the team chose the public markets in the first place, noting early interest from both institutions and everyday investors seeking thoughtful exposure to the broader Bitcoin narrative (beyond a one-to-one ETF construct). This leads into the growing convergence of TradFi and DeFi and the wave of institutional adoption shaping market maturity. Furrier and Prusak touch on U.S. policy momentum around digital assets (including stablecoins) and the role of Bitcoin as a potential reserve-like asset. Prusak highlights American Bitcoin’s focus on scarcity economics – “only 21 million” – and the miners’ role as the sole source of new supply. On infrastructure and energy, he details the company’s sibling relationship with Hut8 to access an energy and facilities pipeline in stable U.S. jurisdictions, framing Bitcoin as an energy-backed currency. Looking ahead, Prusak envisions seamless, PayPal-like Bitcoin transactions that are transparent, secure and fast.

Join this exclusive interview in the “Crypto Trailblazers: Wall St On-Chain” series presented in collaboration between theCUBE + NYSE Wired, where host John Furrier shares a dialogue with Demetrios Skalkotos, Chief DeFi & Protocol Officer at Blockdaemon, on exactly how institutional-grade infrastructure is accelerating crypto’s integration with Wall Street. Skalkotos outlines Blockdaemon’s four pillars: enterprise node access across major networks, a fast-growing staking business, MPC wallet capabilities via the Sepior acquisition, and a newly acquired DeFi infrastructure layer (backed by Cumberland and DRW) that offers an abstracted API into ~20 DEXs and DEX aggregators along with lending, yield and (liquid) staking venues. He explains how Blockdaemon’s horizontal protocol layer connects nodes, staking, wallet and DeFi so that institutions can gain “connectivity and access” across more than 80 chains. Their discussion digs into what is hot right now – staking, “earn” and yield (USDC, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana) and increasingly frictionless cross-chain trading through bridges. Skalkotos highlights interoperability across public and private networks and why many enterprises want the transparency of public chains plus selective privacy. He details how stablecoins, ETFs/ETPs and back-office efficiencies are pulling traditional finance on-chain, calling the shift “evolutionary, not revolutionary.” The segment also touches on market talent flows from TradFi to crypto and the complexity of topics like MEV as the industry scales real-world use cases.

Straight from theCube + NYSE Wired’s “Crypto Trailblazers: Wall St On-Chain” interview series, SalesAi CEO Devin Johnson joins host John Furrier for an exclusive discussion on how AI voice agents are reshaping speed-to-lead, qualification and tier-one support. Johnson outlines SalesAi’s mission to make AI simple for businesses – highlighting how agents call inbound leads within ~17 seconds, qualify like a trained rep and book meetings, while also handling tier-one support. The reason this works, he underscores, is clear disclosure (not “robocalls”), conversation quality and consistency – AI agents don’t have “bad days”, after all. Johnson showcases SalesAi’s rapid traction: 3,000 customers split between sales and support, $7.1M in first-year revenue, a telecom case study with $500K saved in three months and a new HubSpot partnership cementing its role inside Marketing Hub. The conversation then leads into agentic workflows, the “conversion bow tie,” weeding out unideal customers and why the real edge is in the data layer as digital models and traditional enterprises converge.
