Crypto & Stablecoins podcasts worth following, and what each is good for

These are the podcasts Briefwire has chosen to cover Crypto & Stablecoins, each one fetched and checked before it is listed. Where operators and investors reason out loud at length. The receipt is a timestamp wherever the publisher’s transcript carries one.

The list

In no ranked order. The note beside each says what it is good for, which is a different thing from how big it is.

Most podcasts publish no transcript, and an episode published without one is not read. Being on this list does not mean a show’s episodes are read: only those that come with a transcript reach a brief.

Each note describes the publication in its own terms. Briefwire reads what these sources publish, in public, and nothing else.

  1. Empire

    Blockworks' markets show; institutional flows and stablecoin-yield discussion.

  2. Bell Curve

    Blockworks' protocol-mechanics show; deeper on infrastructure than the news desks.

  3. Forward Guidance

    Macro and crypto intersection from an institutional-allocator view; the flows argument.

  4. 0xResearch

    Analyst-led debate on protocol revenue and token economics with the models shown.

  5. Lightspeed

    Solana-ecosystem builders and on-chain collateral topics; the fastest-moving L1's operators.

  6. On The Brink with Castle Island

    Nic Carter and Matt Walsh with issuers and regulators; the venue where stablecoin policy gets argued first.

  7. Tokenized

    Simon Taylor interviewing the executives building stablecoin and tokenisation rails at banks and fintechs.

  8. The Stablecoin Podcast

    Weekly founder interviews across the issuer long tail — MENA, APAC and FX stablecoins the US desks skip.

  9. Galaxy Brains

    Alex Thorn's weekly markets-and-policy read from inside Galaxy's research desk; guests trade the flows they describe.

How the list was made, and what we do with it

Chosen by hand
Every source is here because people who work in Crypto & Stablecoins say substantive things on it, not because it is large. Enough of them to cover the field, few enough to audit.
Checked before listing
Each feed is fetched and checked when it is added and again whenever the library is re-checked by hand: one whose newest item is more than six months old fails, and one quiet for more than three is flagged but can stay listed. Every source is English-language and public.
Read, so you need not
Where a show publishes a transcript, you need not listen: each new episode that comes with one is read from it, and the claims worth keeping are pulled out with the timestamp where each was said, where the transcript is timed. An episode published without a transcript is not read.
When it is read
Briefwire reads a beat’s sources through the day while a trial or paid account tracks it. A beat nobody tracks may not be read at all, and its page shows the library, not a live feed.
Sent as a brief
The 12 lines that rank highest across the whole Crypto & Stablecoins beat go out daily or weekly. A claim several independent sources made ranks higher — that counts agreement, not accuracy.

The podcasts are one part of the beat. Every Crypto & Stablecoins source, all media — or just the blogs and newsletters or YouTube channels.
