The Biggest Banks Are Finally Going All In on Crypto #118

In this week’s Crypto Options Unplugged, Imran Lakha and David Brickell are joined by Andrew Theodosiou, Director of Sales at Talos, to discuss how institutional adoption is accelerating and why digital asset infrastructure is rapidly converging with traditional finance.Andrew explains how banks, hedge funds, ETF providers, and trading firms are moving beyond simply offering crypto exposure and are now investing in tokenization, stablecoins, prediction markets, perpetual futures, and 24/7 trading infrastructure. The discussion explores why regulatory clarity has removed much of the career risk around digital assets and why institutions are now building multi-year strategies rather than waiting on the sidelines.The conversation then shifts to the long-term investment case for Bitcoin, stablecoins, and tokenized assets. The panel debates whether Bitcoin will ultimately become digital gold, why stablecoins represent crypto’s clearest real-world use case, and how tokenization could transform everything from payments to securities trading over the coming decade.The episode concludes with a macro and options market update, covering Bitcoin’s current positioning, the four-year cycle, whale accumulation, volatility dynamics, and why patience and disciplined positioning may offer a better strategy than trying to perfectly time the next crypto bull market.Deribit FZE does not accept UAE retail clients for derivatives and does not accept US clients and clients from restricted countries.#crypto #trading #cryptocurrencynews #podcast
