Bitcoin didn’t fall 25% because of politics — it fell because U.S. dollar liquidity snapped. And at the same time BRICS nations are fully ditching the dollar for settlement, Citadel is quietly helping Ripple build a modern banking stack.
In this episode, Chip breaks down the real story behind the Bitcoin dip, why de-dollarization is accelerating at the exact moment TradFi is laying fresh settlement rails, and why assets like XRP are starting to function less like trades and more like transfers in a new global system.
You’ll also hear how ISO-20022, bank-charter applications, Digital Asset Treasuries, and the “cement isn’t dry” theory all converge into one thing: the future economy is being rewired under our feet — and retail still thinks it’s about vibes.

The best place to begin is the Start Here page — where I explain how capital is quietly reshaping the financial system, and how everyday investors can align early with the infrastructure being built beneath the headlines.

If you want to go further, the next step is the Alignment Intelligence Bundle — the system I use to interpret how structural financial shifts happen before they become obvious.
🔶 Get it here:

Inside you’ll find:
• Aligned or Left Behind — the framework for understanding alignment before clarity
• The Alignment Checklist — a practical guide for identifying positioning signals
• And 30 days of Signals access, where I track the infrastructure and assets institutions are quietly building
Because in structural shifts, recognition always arrives later than alignment.
The Chip Mahoney Show delivers financial intelligence for the Digital Dollar era — helping investors, advisors, and builders stay early, not reactive.
