I joined Paul Turton this morning to unpack why markets are climbing despite geopolitical tensions and economic headwinds. Wall Street is edging toward record highs, encouraged by shifting perceptions of Trump’s policy agenda, including tax exemptions for U.S. tech giants. Surprisingly, markets have remained resilient amid high tariffs, Middle Eastern conflicts, and military tensions in Europe.

We also discussed the growing legitimacy of cryptocurrency. Trump’s proposal to allow U.S. retirement funds to invest in crypto marks a significant policy pivot, boosting Bitcoin’s momentum. While crypto remains volatile, increasing regulation and the emergence of real-world use cases are strengthening its case. Whether Bitcoin maintains dominance or faces new contenders, its mainstream acceptance continues to build.
