Neoclassic co-founder & Managing Partner, @MikeBucella , was recently on @CNBC's Power Lunch to discuss Stablecoin regulation in the US and the global rise of prediction markets...

[Mike Bucella @MikeBucella]

Back in studio at CNBC for the first time since 2019!

Great discussion on Stablecoins, Prediction Markets and the overall state of crypto and broader capital markets. Always enjoy spending time with @KellyCNBC, @TheDomino and the @CNBC @PowerLunch team

Also, amazing to consider the industry progress from that last in-studio interview in 2019...at that time, we spoke about @Meta's Libra Coin announcement and Bitcoin's "Renaissance" as $BTC traded back through $9,000, from the $3,375 low of that cycle! (link in comments)...

[Neoclassic Capital @NeoclassicCap]

Our co-founder @MikeBucella will be speaking next week at DAS NY on prediction markets with @j0hnwang (@Kalshi), Asaf Meir (@Solidus_Labs) , and @Kunallegendd (@Blockworks).

Discussion will center around how the markets are developing as tools for price discovery, information aggregation, and capital formation.

Still early, but the pace of development and institutional interest is picking up.

AI × crypto becomes clearer when separating the infrastructure and application layers.

On infra side, blockchain and crypto could serve as a trust and verification layer for AI, including data provenance.

On app side, they fit naturally for agent-to-agent payments and AI-driven execution (e.g., trading), with crypto as the payment rail.

Today, much of AI × crypto still feels more narrative-first than problem-first. But as the AI economy grows, the role of blockchain and crypto may become increasingly logical.

If that happens, as @ilblackdragon recently mentioned:
“AI on the front end. Blockchain on the back end.”

Good piece from @TheBlockCo on the ICE–OKX deal and what it may signal about TradFi and crypto convergence. Thanks for the quote @Yogita_Khatri5

Recently, our Managing Partner Steve @xxstevelee shared his view at Innovate Denver by @TheTieIO on the unique dynamics of the crypto investing market, which challenge VC investors to understand not only private VC markets but also token public markets.

‘Excited’ to be in Denver next week.

Given current sentiment, I expect far fewer people at the conference, especially during this builder-focused week. This time, my intention is to reconcile what I see and hear directly from builders with headline and price sentiment, and to find those still pushing their passions in a challenging moment.
