Today’s episode of On the Margin Weekly Roundup with Mike Ippolito and Mark Yusko has a special guest — Blockworks’ own video journalist Jack Farley.

With bond yields plummeting and tech stocks selling off hard, Mike and Jack make sense of the recent bout of market volatility. They also discuss market anomalies such as stay-at-home darlings like Zoom ($ZM) failing to serve as a hedge against bad Covid-19 news, and the tremendous surge in the VIX despite the fact that the S&P 500 is only a few points below its all-time high.

They also talk about yield curve flattening, inflation’s threat to the 60/40 portfolio, and why bitcoin’s dominance might fade over time in the crypto universe.

On the Margin is a two-part show. Once a week, Mike interviews industry experts, and then at the end of the week, he is joined by co-host Mark Yusko where they break down the top crypto and macro stories. Episodes go live every Wednesday and Saturday morning.
