In this episode of the ATX DAO Podcast, Luke, Ash, and Tom break down the latest on ETFs hitting the market, including Dogecoin’s surprising debut with $6M in volume before lunch. They explore how new SEC guidance could open the floodgates for a wider range of crypto assets, while billions flow into Solana DATs from top funds.
