In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Austin Barack joins Bryce and Brendan to discuss why he believes the crypto market has bottomed and why liquid opportunities are opening up heading into the rest of the year. He explains that seller fatigue, Bitcoin holding key technical levels, macro liquidity support, regulatory tailwinds, and the four-year cycle setup all point toward a more constructive market environment.

The conversation covers why this cycle may become more of a token-picker’s market, with stronger focus on fundamentals, tokenomics, buybacks, revenue growth, AI, tokenization, 24/7 markets, Zcash, Hyperliquid, Venice, Robinhood Chain, and tokenized stocks. Austin also shares why Relayer Capital was acquired by Rockaway X, how he is now leading the Rockaway X Liquid Opportunities Fund, and why the next phase of crypto investing may look more like long-short equity investing than old-school liquid venture.
