What if Bitcoin could generate yield — without giving up custody? In this episode of the Grownlearn Podcast, Zorina sits down with Matthew Halfacre, founder of Half Acre Research, to explore his vision for a new kind of crypto asset: Codex, a tokenized system that uses algorithmic trading to create sustainable Bitcoin yield. Matthew opens up about his journey from traditional markets to crypto, the philosophy behind keeping his fund small and client-focused, and his 2026 plan to list Codex (BTCY) on major exchanges. We also talk about the macroeconomic forces shaping the digital asset space, including CBDCs, Bitcoin vs XRP, and why algorithmic trading may offer an edge in today's volatile market. If you're a serious crypto investor or just curious about where blockchain is heading, this one’s for you. 🔗 Explore Matthew’s work: https://halfacreresearch.tech/ 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell so you never miss an episode. 📺 Explore our curated playlist THE CAPITAL PLAYBOOK HERE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTJlaeHk03J3Csa1jytu1X1JKyZ_6qTQb About Grownlearn: Welcome to GrowNLearn, where innovation meets expertise in business growth, business transformation, and leadership development.
