Dave welcomed listeners to the final ATC episode of the week and recapped the late-night $Thon story space. He pledged to post spaces earlier and asked the audience to hold him accountable. NatNat joined with a headache but ready to dive in, while Kool connected after some audio issues.
Dave questioned why Grayscale released an AVAX trust after trusts for STX, NEAR, and SUI, given Avalanche's activity. NatNat said the timing looked smart as AVAX was up over 20 percent that week and worth watching. Kool viewed it as Grayscale diversifying to offset Bitcoin ETF losses and attract new institutional business.

Dave explained Babylon as a Bitcoin layer two enabling trustless self-custodial BTC staking for proof-of-stake networks without losing control. NatNat called it bullish for Bitcoin with over 1000 BTC already staked but noted rising fees as a concern.

Kool said he buys NFTs mainly for airdrops, community access, and alpha rather than flipping. NatNat discussed an eight hundred thousand dollar weekly options bet on Snow earnings that lost nearly everything after the stock dropped despite a beat due to weak forward guidance.
