Special Guest Richard Galvin, DACM’s Executive Chairman & CIO
About this episode
This week, we step back from the day‑to‑day price action and bring on Richard Galvin, Executive Chairman & CIO at Digital Asset Capital Management (DACM), to frame the 2026 crypto cycle. We dig into how his TradFi background has shaped DACM’s investment philosophy, where he’s positioning across BTC and alts, and which tail risks he worries about most this year. The conversation covers how to characterize the current market setup, the themes that could define 2026 for professional allocators, the macro backdrop versus crypto beta, and how evolving regulation and institutional adoption are really moving capital in this space.
