ROLLUP: Extreme Fear | Tariff Whiplash | Citrini AI Crash | Jane Street vs Terra | Pentagon vs Anthropic | Bankless

This weekly roll-up analyzes the extreme fear and uncertainty pervading crypto and traditional markets. The hosts attribute crypto's sustained low Fear and Greed Index score to doubts about the industry's future and the negative association with figures like Trump. They explore the broader "uncertainty bubble," citing the Supreme Court's tariff reversals and the unpredictable impact of AI. The discussion covers Jane Street's alleged role in the Terra Luna collapse and potential Bitcoin price suppression, as well as Meta's renewed stablecoin plans. Finally, the hosts highlight ZachXBT's exposure of insider trading at Axiom, and the clash between Anthropic and the Department of War over AI usage.
