But Cowen isn’t stopping at crypto. Oh no, he’s got his sights set on the big leagues, warning that cheering Jerome Powell’s departure from the Federal Reserve could leave traditional markets feeling as credible as a politician’s promise. Because, apparently, we’re all just one leadership change away from financial chaos.
On the 27th of April 2026, the good people at 21Shares announced that Dogecoin had waltzed its way onto Xetra, Europe’s grandest ETF ballroom. Oh, the glamour!

His previous laments about stablecoin yield provisions and the archaic treatment of software developers under 1960-era statutes seem but distant memories. Ah, the malleability of conviction! His shift, we are told, signals that negotiations have “moved far enough to proceed.” How far is far enough, one wonders, in this grand ballet of compromise?
As a crypto investor, I was really interested to hear that Coinbase Asset Management just launched a new fund called CUSHY. It’s pretty innovative – it’s a tokenized fund focused on markets tied to stablecoins, which could open up some interesting opportunities.
