This episode of CoinDesk's Public Keys at the NYSE features three conversations with the most closely watched voices in crypto's institutional moment. ProCap Financial founder Anthony Pompliano argues that 75% of crypto companies "aren't going to be here in five years," and lays out the four areas he believes will survive — Bitcoin, equity infrastructure, stablecoins, and tokenization. Angus Fletcher, Head of Digital Assets at State Street, breaks down how the $30 trillion-plus custody bank is building the bridge between traditional finance and tokenized markets, including a new tokenized fund service launching from Luxembourg by the end of 2026. Plus, SharpLink CEO Joseph Chalom on the publicly traded Ethereum treasury company's 46% institutional ownership, why permanent ETH capital is reshaping on-chain finance, and why he believes ETH's risk/reward "has never been better."
