Apart from incentivising market participants to secure the network through inflationary rewards, many consider staking as an equivalent of stock dividend yield. As a result, although Bitcoin is regarded as digital gold, protocols are looking for ways to increase its utilisation in DeFi and, ultimately, generate yield. Nowadays, while newer networks are struggling to attract investors and sustain a healthy, decentralised validator set, more established blockchains capture the lion's share of PoS actors. However, in a constant race for profit basis points, centralised consolidation of stakers seems inevitable. Join us for a fascinating discussion on the staking landscape and the challenges it may present to decentralisation.Topics covered in this episode:Increasing BTC utilization through BTC yieldLooping yield productsThe maturation of the staking marketChorus One staking portfolioHow to prevent staking consolidationRetail vs. institutional-grade operatorsSymbiotic, Eigenlayer & restaking yieldEpisode links:Mirko Schmiedl on XTobias Jung on XStaking Rewards on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Lex chats with Stani Kulechov - founder and CEO of Aave, a leading decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol. They explore the evolution of DeFi, Aave's growth, and its architectural shift from a peer-to-peer model to pooled liquidity. Stani reflects on the early days of DeFi, the impact of the FTX collapse, and the increasing adoption of DeFi over centralized exchanges. They discuss Aave's strategies for attracting assets, the importance of capital efficiency, and future innovations, including the tokenization of real-world assets and the role of stablecoins. Notable discussion points: 1. Aave Reaches $40 Billion in Net Deposits: Stani Kulechov shared that Aave has achieved a record-breaking $40 billion in net deposits and $25 billion in active liquidity, making it the largest DeFi lending protocol ever by total value locked (TVL). 2. DeFi's Evolution from Peer-to-Peer to Liquidity Hubs: The conversation detailed Aave's architectural shift from early peer-to-peer lending models to pooled liquidity and now to a hub-and-spoke model with Aave V4 — designed to balance capital efficiency and risk segregation for both native crypto and real-world assets (RWAs). 3. The Rise of Real-World Assets and Stablecoins in DeFi: Kulechov emphasized that tokenized real-world assets (like treasuries) and decentralized stablecoins (such as Aave's GHO) are reshaping the DeFi landscape, predicting RWAs will outgrow both stablecoins and native crypto assets in total value locked within five years. MENTIONED IN THE CONVERSATION Topics: Aave, Lens Protocol, GHO, Horizon, FTX, Project Guardian, AaveDAO, MakerDAO, Web3, DeFi, Lending, stablecoins, tokens, RWA, decentralized finance, capital markets, DAO, Digital Assets ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

With an extensive experience in traditional money markets, Maple Finance was envisioned as an institutional capital marketplace which combines the transparency & capital efficiency of blockchains with the regulatory framework of TradFi. Unlike many DeFi protocols that require over-collateralized loans (e.g. Aave), Maple also specializes in under-collateralized lending, enabling greater capital efficiency for institutional borrowers. With over $6b in loans since its inception, Maple plans to further expand its offerings by including RWAs as collateral assets.Topics covered in this episode:Sid's backgroundThe vision behind Maple FinanceMaple's tech stackDeciding risk profilesOver-collateralized vs. under-collateralized loansAssets accepted as collateralDeploying to other blockchainsInstitutional appealManaging defaultsRWAConverging DeFi & TradFiBiggest challengesExciting upcoming trendsFuture roadmapCrypto correlation or decoupling?Episode links:Sid Powell on XMaple Finance on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Key Takeaways: Different Types of Crypto (Like Different Tools) Think of Bitcoin like digital gold — it's something people save because it holds value over time. Other coins like Ethereum and Solana are more like smart computers that let people build cool apps or make contracts without needing a middleman. New Kind of Money System (No Banks Needed) With something called DeFi (short for Decentralized Finance), you can borrow or lend money using apps like AAVE and Uniswap — no banks, no waiting in line! Why Crypto Prices Change So Much Prices go up or down depending on: How many people want it (supply & demand) How useful it is New tech updates What people feel about it What governments say or do about it Creative Ways to Raise Money Businesses can now raise money through crypto instead of banks. This can help more people (not just the rich) invest or start something big without needing a bunch of connections. The Future Is Digital Crypto is becoming part of the world economy. Someday, you might be able to own a piece of a company or a building in another country, right from your phone!

Blue Alpine Cast - Kryptowährung, News und Analysen (Bitcoin, Ethereum und co)
This episode comes from a recent panel discussion hosted by the DeFi team at GAIB. We were joined by DeFi experts such as Patrick, Founder of Dynamo DeFi, an anonymous DeFi investor who goes by DeFiMaximalist, and crypto YouTuber / investor Joe Takayama. We found the discussion to be very insightful and so we agreed to edit and republish the conversation as a podcast. We hope you enjoy it!------
This week, we dive into the evolving crypto and macro landscape—starting with the latest market signals: BTC dominance climbs to 69%, perp funding turns negative, and BTC options remain cautiously bearish. We also break down technical levels to watch, institutional flow trends, and how global equity valuations are influencing crypto sentiment.On the macro front, rising US-China uncertainty continue to take center stage. We assess potential ripple effects from escalating tariffs, a weakening yuan, and the PBOC's monetary posture.In industry news, Ripple makes a $1.2B acquisition, and Apollo backs Plume's push into tokenized assets.

In this week's episode, I'm joined by my good friend and returning guest co-host Alejandro Gutierrez, and we get into the thick of what I like to call “worlds colliding” — the convergence of Web3 and TradFi that's playing out in real time.From Robinhood stepping into prediction markets, to ETF filings for Solana, XRP, and even Sui, and even the Fed making front-page crypto headlines, this one's packed with all the signs that the walls between the old and the new are coming down fast.What we cover this week:ETH Dublin is back and bigger than ever – With Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and Aave founder Stani Kulechov confirmed to speak, the Irish Web3 scene is officially on the global map.Crypto Mondays Ireland kickoff – We kicked things off with a great crowd, bridging Web2, Web3, TradFi and crypto over pints and pizza (note to self: apply for a PizzaDAO grant next time).Robinhood enters prediction markets – A natural next step as U.S. regulatory winds start shifting, and another signal that mainstream fintech is eyeing the Web3 playbook.ETFs and tokenized RWAs are on the rise – With filings for DOGE, XRP, and SUI ETFs, and $18B+ in RWAs already on-chain, the signs are clear — TradFi is getting comfy with digital rails.Crypto's macro moment – When CoinDesk leads with “Fed holds rate steady,” you know we've officially crossed over into traditional markets territory.Why FIFA Coin is a terrible idea – Props to Pet Berisha for breaking it down. We don't need a FIFA token when stablecoins already do the job (with way less drama).Solana Talent Hub in Ireland – Alejandro and the team are building a home for the Solana ecosystem at Dogpatch Labs every Friday. If you're Solana-curious and based in Ireland, get involved.Links & Resources:ETH Dublin – May 23–25, Solana Talent Hub @ Dogpatch LabsSporting Crypto by Pet BerishaBrian Armstrong's Farcaster postTokenized RWA tracker – rwa.xyzCentrifuge/BlockTower report on tokenizationFollow our guest co-host Alejandro Gutierrez:X(Twitter): https://twitter.com/A_gutierroLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alejandro-gutierrez-98979b43/Leave a review and subscribe onApple PodcastsSpotifyMoneyNeverSleeps (website)Email us: info@norioventures.comFollow on X(Twitter):Pete Townsend: https://twitter.com/petetownsendnvMoneyNeverSleeps: https://twitter.com/MNSshowFollow on LinkedIn:Pete Townsend: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pete-townsend-1b18301a/MoneyNeverSleeps: https://www.linkedin.com/company/28661903/MoneyNeverSleeps newsletter: https://moneyneversleeps.substack.com/

DeFi isn't dead—it's just working better than ever. In this episode of The Wolf Of All Streets, we sit down with Stani Kulechov, CEO of Aave, to break down why DeFi is still booming under the surface, how institutions are quietly moving in, and why boring and reliable beats hype and failure every time. If you're wondering when DeFi will reach its full potential and whether meme coins are just a distraction, this conversation is a must-watch.

Despite the ups and downs of the Ethereum ecosystem, two of its most influential builders—Aave's Stani Kulechov and Sky's Rune Christensen—remain bullish. In this episode, they discuss whether we're witnessing a DeFi renaissance, the challenges of building on Ethereum vs. Solana, and why DeFi adoption isn't growing as fast as some expected. They debate stablecoins, whether Solana is truly innovating, and how AI could transform DeFi by automating governance and risk management. They also respond to some hot takes—including whether Aave is falling behind Solana-based Kamino, and why Sky deployed its USDS stablecoin on Solana despite Rune's long-standing Ethereum advocacy. Show highlights: 02:33 Whether Sky and Aave are experiencing a “DeFi renaissance” 11:49 How Stani and Rune are trying to appeal to a simpler audience 23:00 Whether developers overlook how easy it is to build DeFi on Ethereum 27:40 Why Stani believes there is not a lot of innovation in Solana 32:17 What would need to happen for Aave to be in Solana 33:27 Why Sky deployed USDS on Solana 40:30 Whether the Ethereum ecosystem should be worried about users going to other chains 49:19 Why Rune praises Solana's culture 51:38 How USDS's growth on Base happens organically, contrary to Solana 59:35 Why they believe that the combination of AI and DeFi will be so powerful Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsors!

USDe shattered expectations in 2024, emerging as the largest decentralized stablecoin in circulation and a game changer for DeFi. Ethena's founder, Guy Young, joins the show to reveal how the protocol surpassed long-established giants, generating billions in fees and setting new benchmarks for yield generation. Guy also breaks down the mechanics behind Ethena's innovative strategies, including “Aavethena,” a yield-boosting approach that's changing how users interact with synthetic dollars. Plus, he addresses the risks: what happens when leverage goes too far, and how Ethena mitigates volatility at its core. Will Ethena bridge DeFi and TradFi, leveraging the disconnect between crypto and traditional interest rates to tap into a $100 trillion fixed-income market? Show highlights: Why Guy was surprised to see the rapid rise of USDe Why Guy is spending 80% of his time on bringing Ethena to TradFi The launch of Ethena's UStb How regulation comes into play and the challenges in different jurisdictions Whether USDe could launch in the U.S. with a friendlier administration Why Ethena hasn't needed to utilize the reserve fund Why Guy believes Ethena has been able, at times, to surpass OG protocols like Ethereum and Uniswap in fees How USDe is being used across the board in DeFi applications What the “Aavethena” strategy is and how it generates yield for users Whether USDe has brought considerable risks of liquidations How allowing Pendle's PT tokens on Aave could supercharge growth How Ethena counters the centralization risks around exchanges Why Guy thinks that Ethena's cross-chain strategy has been “pretty poor” How ENA has performed well despite airdrops not doing well in 2024 Why Guy believes this bull cycle is different Why he's expecting USDe to reach at least $15 billion in 2025 Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsors!
