Is the Saylor playbook cracking? Bitcoin's biggest buyer just became a seller

On this episode of CoinDesk's Public Keys at the New York Stock Exchange, Jennifer Sanasie is joined by Two Prime Founder and CEO Alex Blume to discuss Bitcoin's range-bound price action, Strategy's accelerating Bitcoin sell-off, and why he's skeptical of the stablecoin consortium behind OpenUSD that knocked Circle lower. In a taped interview from the NYSE floor, Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo breaks down the company's NYSE debut under the ticker SECZ via a SPAC deal, its more than $400 million raise, and its move to tokenize its own common stock on the Solana and Avalanche blockchains.
