Arthur Hayes & Tom Lee map the new crypto arms race—Hyperliquid vs Aster, Plasma's stablecoin rails, and ETH's DAT-fueled supercycle. Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. Live at Token2049 Singapore, we're joined by Arthur Hayes (Maelstrom) and Tom Lee (Bitmine) to map two battles shaping the next cycle: the Perp DEX war—Hyperliquid's moat vs. CZ-linked Aster, zero-fee experiments like Lighter, and whether ~$500M/year token unlocks can stay “bullish”—and the race to own stablecoin rails, from Tether-affiliated Plasma's zero-fee USDT chain to distribution plays like Tempo and Codex. We dig into DATs, mNAV compression, and Tom's “ETH supercycle,” plus prediction markets (Polymarket vs. Kalshi) crossing into the mainstream and a surprise Zcash revival. If crypto's future is being decided in trading venues and in money itself, this is where the battle lines get drawn.  Show highlights

Insider-Trading ist in Krypto so normal wie Pommes mit den Händen zu essen. Aber wenn du mit solchen Manieren ins Drei-Sterne-Restaurant gehst, wirst du hochkant rausgeschmissen. So oder so ähnlich kommentiert Julius Nagel die Meldung, dass die SEC potenzielles Insider-Trading rund um Digital Asset Trading Companies untersucht. Außerdem in dieser Folge von Alles Coin, Nichts Muss: Plasma launcht einen Token, der alle Erwartungen übertrifft. In die andere Richtung geht es beim Story Protocol. Deren Token crasht, weil sie offenbar IP verkaufen, die ihnen gar nicht gehört. Und verkaufen ist ein gutes Stichwort. Denn irgendwer stößt aktuell massiv Token von Hyperliquid ab. Ganz oben auf der Liste der Verdächtigen: Binance-Boss CZ. Währenddessen steckt Florian Adomeit im Rahmen seiner 1to100k-Challenge bis über beide Ohren im Polymarket-Rabbit-Hole. Er setzt auf mögliche Navy-Insider im Kampf gegen venezolanische Drogendealer, zählt mit, wie oft Donald Trump über Joe Biden herzieht, und landet einen Volltreffer durch eine Prediction im Rückspiegel.

Listen in as they discuss the fading premiums and potential consolidation wave in DATs following the Strive-Semler merger this past week, the liquidity and centralization risks emerging in altcoin DATs, the evolving debate over stablecoin regulation from the GENIUS Act to the CLARITY Act as bank lobbying intensifies, how banks might fit into a stablecoin-driven financial system, the surge of crypto IPOs with Circle, Gemini and BitGo, the custody economics underpinning institutional adoption, Coinbase's forthcoming Base token and what it could mean for valuation, and more.

James Seyffart from Bloomberg Intelligence joins to break down the state of crypto ETFs and their explosive growth.  We cover the rise of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the debate between ETFs and DATs, and the institutional inflows reshaping the market. James explains how advisors, hedge funds, and sovereign wealth funds are participating, the regulatory hurdles around staking ETFs, and why basket products may be the next big wave.  We also explore the implications of tokenized ETFs, the S&P 500's gatekeeping of crypto companies, and what to watch for in the coming months as approvals and new products hit the market. ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 1:18 DATs vs ETFs 6:18 DATs Final Equilibrium  9:21 ETFs 1-Year Check-in 23:42 Crypto Indexes 30:41 ETF Approval Process 41:03 Solana ETF 44:17 BTC & ETH ETFs 56:11 What's Driving the Price? 59:39 Crypto Companies in the S&P 1:07:17 Blackrock Tokenized ETFs? 1:13:59 Key Outcomes 1:19:14 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES James Seyffart https://x.com/JSeyff  https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesseyffart  Bloomberg Intelligence https://www.bloomberg.com/professional/products/bloomberg-terminal/research/bloomberg-intelligence/  ------ Not financial or tax advice.

Markets had a flood of liquidations on Monday, and traders lost over $1.5 billion in positions. So, why are liquidations spiking? Is this a warning or a blip?  Also, could a flood of DAT issuance be setting the stage for not just a crypto winter, but a crypto “nuclear” winter? If so, hedge funds and market structure could accelerate the pain.  This week on Bits + Bips, Steven Ehrlich, Ram Ahluwalia, Austin Campbell, and Vinny Lingham talk about why mNAVs could compress and whether even MicroStrategy's stack is more fragile than it looks.  They debate the bull case for gold (yes, even at these ATHs), how tokenized stocks and changing reporting cadences could open new insider edges, and what the U.S. macro picture looks like.  Thank you to our sponsors!

New ‘Sode Glitter Ledger;  Its Fashion Week where DATS are ala mode on the cover of Vogue. Ipso facto I shall request filing for a DAT all over my body and wrap it in a NVIDIA oil titanium put leveraged on Cote du Rhone and chocolate sprinkles.  What's a DAT you may ask. Well I'm so glad you did. I turned to my psychiatrist Dr. Seuss, who has a confusing following as a Nazi Bitcoin Maximalist. But I digress, he requested I open up The CAT in the DAT and read on page 14. “It is fun to have fun But you have to know how. That is what the cat said.Then he fell on his head!” -"They are tame. Oh, so tame! They have come here to play. They will give you some fun On this wet, wet, wet day."Oh, the things they will bump! Oh, the things they will hit! Should we tell her about it? Now, what SHOULD we do? Well. What would You do If your mother asked You?Inspired but confused, I realized that $375 session that had gone to waste could have spent on Bitcoin or quayludes. I then asked my dearest friend Fyre Festival Founder Billy McFarland Together with my bedazzled baccarat magnifying glass his Sharpei intern, we both determined that DATS are cute companies that purchase tokens on their balance sheets to capitalize on adderal spiked price appreciation and then they subsequently dump it in the pubelle. Thats french for garbage can. I am in. Oh the things you can think when you think about Seuss!Alas, Billy and I are throwing a Cat in the DAT Conference on Hedera for Armani RIP. It will be held in Gstaad on a Green Mountain aptly named Galaxy.  But I digress. My guest today is the supremely wonderful Josh Sroge. I interviewed Josh so long ago that just about everything in this episode is now factually incorrect. Do not let this stop you from listening. As most of what I say in the present is wrong. Josh is almost as entertaining as I am so the interview is worth a listen if insider info Binance US water cooler alpha intrigues you. It does not me.  All I care about is Xanax and Private Jets and Hedera.  I really wanted to get Josh on the show because I have not had a guest without hair and I want a Hedera Grant so I can finance my 2nd home in Burkina Faso. I queried a critical question where I wanted Josh to determine the answer to who would win in an elegant bar fight between Bitcoin Maximalists, CZ, or Hedera Fanatics. Josh responded with the flair of a disgraced politician. Alas, Josh is a former aspiring local politician, whose campaign I laundered money through to finance purchasing a Birkin and a pack of cigs. I digress. Josh is a fascinating melange of the Old School Crypto Bros of yester year coupled with a New Yorker Roc Hudson charm sans homosexuality.  We met on a panel but I was not on it.  He lives in the Caymans for obvious reasons. He had a stint as the CFO slash CEO of Binance US  and currently serves as a Director of the Hedera Foundation. He fits my criteria of financial availability in a mate based on his resume. Thats french for resume. Josh agrees with me that sales is essentially about how thin you are.  The man has the charisma of someone who could sell you a timeshare on Jupiter and has had an enviable career in a space full of many individuals who have needed thousand dollar attorneys. Josh is welcome on Glitter anytime. It was the utmost pleasure. Support the show

This Crypto Town Hall episode opens with reflections on September 11 and the recent violent death of a prominent figure (Charlie Kirk), leading to a discussion of violence, free speech, and the need for open debate. The conversation transitions to the state of global markets, Bitcoin, and crypto, particularly in light of macroeconomic trends, US debt, inflation, and the coming liquidity moves by governments. The panel examines the role of stablecoins and US regulatory strategy, with focus on how stablecoins and digital asset treasuries (DATs) could influence global dollar demand, Treasury markets, and institutional crypto adoption. Special guest Sue from EigenLayer/EigenCloud joins to discuss the explosive growth of ETH restaking, EigenCloud's shift into AI and cloud services, and the institutionalization of yield generation on Ethereum. Key technology developments, market outlooks, and debates on market risk are explored throughout, with an emphasis on financial sovereignty through crypto.

The fight for Hyperliquid's USDH stablecoin is more than a ticker battle—it's a referendum on how crypto distribution, governance, and incentives will shape the next trillion-dollar market.  In this episode of Bits + Bips, Steve Ehrlich sits down with Delta Blockchain Fund's Kavita Gupta, Galaxy Digital's Alex Thorn, and Frax founder Sam Kazemian to dig into the big questions: Who will win the USDH war, and why does distribution matter more than design? Are DATs fulfilling their promises—or raising money without accountability? Why are L2s the wrong place for tokenized stocks? And where exactly is the trillion-dollar opportunity in stablecoins?

Meanwhile, his therapist's suggestion to “get out and meet people” backfired when he caught a stomach bug that almost took him out completely!!Ramont keeps things simple with panhandlers, offering up his iconic response: “NO THANK YOU, I'M FINE” a line so unexpected it leaves Reese in tears. Reese also admits he's still waiting for a run-in with the preacher who scammed him in a Target parking lot.When the conversation turns to friends and money, Ramont makes it clear: subscriptions aren't his love language. Reese then overshares a recent manscaping mishap—one that almost had him dialing up Ramont for backup!!The main discussion? The guys go deep on what the title best friend really means—roles, responsibilities, and even whether Reese might just be guilty of friend ghosting (he defends his honor, of course). They also dive into Reese's disdain for the cliché that “couples should be friends first” and raise a spicy question: Why don't we hear more about same-gender work spouses?WHAT WE LEARNED:Ramont goes on record stating that compared to Florida, Baltimore is ghettoReese uses a spoon for his Chiopotle bowlQuestions, Concerns or Feedback- RamontAndReese@gmail.comIG- ALilRandRPodcast Hosted on Acast.

Altcoin froth meets real-asset rails. Vlad explains why Robinhood built an L2, how tokenized stocks—and even private shares like OpenAI/SpaceX—could trade on-chain, and what that means for accreditation, access, and the public/private wall. Plus: DATs, DTCC in a tokenized world, and AI that formally proves smart contracts. Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, Robinhood co‑founder/CEO Vlad Tenev joins to explain Robinhood Chain, why they chose a Layer 2 over a Layer 1, and the plan to bring tokenized stocks — including private shares — on‑chain. We get into the OpenAI/SpaceX kerfuffle, accreditation rules, and whether permissionless tokenization erodes the public/private boundary. Then we zoom out to 24/7 trading, Digital Asset Treasuries, and how formal verification (Lean proofs) could make smart contracts safer. Show highlights
