I joined Juliette Saly from Ausbiz to discuss America’s growing debt crisis and the looming risk of stagflation – the mix of slowing growth and stubborn inflation.

I joined Ausbiz with Clint Maddock, Founder and Director at Digital Asset Funds Management – our newest partner, an Australian investment manager specialising in digital asset markets – to discuss the growing role of digital assets like Bitcoin in investment portfolios. Once considered purely speculative, digital assets are now increasingly recognised as a legitimate component of diversification, sitting alongside equities, bonds, and property. We explored why they’re moving into the mainstream, the opportunities they present, and how investors can approach the space with a balanced view on both strategy and risk.

I joined Paul Turton on ABC Newcastle Mornings to talk about digital asset funds – what they are, how investors can gain exposure to cryptocurrencies without directly buying or managing them, and whether the asset class is becoming more mainstream. We explored real-world cases that show why blockchain makes sense, as a digital version of cash that enables frictionless payments while bypassing banks to help preserve wealth. With regulation on the way, the space is becoming more comfortable for investors. Bitcoin isn’t going anywhere, but the real question is what’s driving its price higher. I also touched on funds that profit from bitcoin regardless of price direction by arbitraging futures contracts.

In my article for Firstlinks, I explore whether a new brand of capitalism is emerging – one where governments take equity stakes in key industries to fund public services. Drawing on recent moves by the U.S. under Trump, I ask if Australia should consider a similar model to turn our resource wealth into broader social good, rather than relying solely on higher taxes or immigration.
