In this episode, Lex speaks with David Namdar - CEO of the BNB Network Company, kicking off with his journey from early Bitcoin adoption in 2012 to co-founding Galaxy Digital and now leading the BNB Network Company. Namdar explains the evolution of public markets' engagement with crypto, highlighting how regulatory hurdles and speculative cycles shaped market participation. He outlines the rise of Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) companies, crediting Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy for pioneering the model by converting $400 million in cash to Bitcoin - now holding over $75 billion in BTC. We examine how Binance, with 290 million users and 40% of global crypto volume, supports BNB as a deflationary asset, burning up to $2 billion per quarter. Finally, Namdar shares why BNB, not Bitcoin, is the focus of his new DAT initiative, offering U.S. investors exposure to an underrepresented but powerful asset.NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS:Digital Asset Treasuries Are Emerging as Crypto ETFs in Disguise: Public companies like MicroStrategy and MetaPlanet are turning their balance sheets into crypto holdings, offering indirect exposure to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB. This model is attracting billions and creating a new on-ramp for investors -especially where ETFs or direct access are limited.BNB Is Massively Used Yet Underrepresented in U.S. Markets: With 290 million users and up to $2B in quarterly token burns, BNB is one of the most used tokens globally. Yet it's largely inaccessible to U.S. investors, creating a major disconnect and a potential opportunity for BNB-focused public vehicles.Crypto Booms Often Rely on Misunderstood, Unsustainable Incentives: Namdar highlights how past cycles inflated demand through staking rewards and nominal yields, not real value. A lack of economic literacy continues to fuel hype over fundamentals, risking long-term sustainability. TOPICSBNB Network Company, Binance, BNB, Galaxy Digital, SolidX Partners, MicroStrategy, Bitcoin, Bitcoin treasury, Ethereum, Digital Asset Treasury, DAT, treasury, crypto, convertible debt, tokenomics, crypto treasury, capital markets ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

Send us a textFear is loud when money feels uncertain, but clarity is louder when you understand how the system actually works. I sat down with financial coach and intuitive, Nicole Cesa of SheInvestor, to map the journey from barter to gold, from paper claims to fiat, and now to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the broader world of decentralized finance. Together we unpack what these technologies do in plain English, why stablecoins exist, and how tokenized gold and silver can offer old-world stability with new-world flexibility.We get tactical about safety: the difference between leaving funds on an exchange and holding your private keys, what cold wallets like Ledger and Trezor protect you from, and the simple steps that make crypto custody feel routine. Nicole explains Ethereum's programmable layer, tokenization, and how decentralized lending and trading compare to today's banking rails. We also zoom out to the macro forces: record debt, inflation pressures, shifting foreign reserves into gold, and why policymakers are eyeing CBDCs for faster global payments—alongside the real privacy risks of tying money to digital IDs.Rather than spiraling into worst-case thinking, we focus on resilience. That means thoughtful diversification across cash for offline needs, physical or vaulted metals for value stability, Bitcoin for censorship resistance, Ethereum for the DeFi ecosystem, and select stablecoins to stay nimble. If you're exploring infrastructure plays, Nicole flags XRP's potential role in replacing legacy cross-border networks. You'll leave with practical tools, trusted resources, and a grounded mindset that blends research with intuition—so you can act from confidence, not fear.If this conversation helps you breathe easier and plan smarter, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review.

For episode 226, I'm exited to welcome 0xJoshua and Penguin, Co-Founders of Azos, a third-generation DeFi protocol using blockchain technology to turn climate-positive assets into real financial infrastructure. Their stablecoin, AZUSD, is designed to hold a stable value while automatically directing capital toward environmental good.In our conversation, we explore how Azos is making values-aligned money possible, what it means to merge DeFi innovation with climate action, and how they're building an ecosystem where both regens and degens can participate in building a greener future.You'll learn:

Learn how first-generation wealth builders create financial freedom and what stablecoins could mean for your savings. How do you build wealth when you're the first in your family to be able to do so? And can stablecoins really out-earn your savings account? Host Elizabeth Ayoola and Sean Pyles explore generational wealth-building and the myths and realities of stablecoins in a rapidly changing cryptocurrency environment. Joined by entrepreneurs and fiancés Ronne Brown and Courtney Hale, Elizabeth kicks off the first segment with a heartfelt look at how first-generation wealth builders are redefining what it means to be “rich.” Ronne and Courtney share their journeys from modest beginnings to financial independence, relaying how childhood lessons shaped their values, how they built multiple income streams through entrepreneurship, and the steps they're taking to continue building generational wealth together. They discuss the power of investing early, using real estate and the stock market strategically, and protecting assets through estate planning and life insurance. Then, investing writer Sam Taube joins Sean and Elizabeth to break down the difference between Bitcoin and stablecoins — and whether high-yield stablecoins are too good to be true. They explore how the Genius Act changes crypto regulation, how yield-bearing stablecoins compare to high-yield savings accounts, and what risks investors should consider before diving in. They discuss how to find a balance between risk and reward in crypto-based savings options, how stablecoins actually earn yield, and why traditional banking products still offer peace of mind for the risk-averse.

Brian Fabian Crain and Michael Egorov, Curve Finance founder, discuss Curve's origins: solving inefficient DAI/USDC swaps after MakerDAO borrows by creating a DeFi AMM for stablecoins and LSTs. It hit 1M TVL with a bonding curve concentrating liquidity at 1:1, more effective for pegged assets than Uniswap. Features grew to include BTC wrappers, stETH pairs, and crvUSD (a CDP stablecoin with reversible liquidations & a peg-keeper). Governance uses veCRV: Locking CRV grants voting power proportional to lock duration, a mechanism now refined in Yield Basis. Yield Basis solves impermanent loss in volatile pools (e.g., BTC/crvUSD). Users deposit BTC; the protocol borrows crvUSD, pairs it at 2x leverage (50% debt/equity), and uses LP tokens as collateral. This gives 1:1 asset tracking, while fees accrue from auto-rebalancing arbitrage. Simulations show 20%+ APY (may decline as BTC volatility drops) under a $50B TVL cap. It complements Curve by directing veCRV incentives to crvUSD pools, enhancing liquidity, fees, and DAO revenues. Key considerations: manual migrations, deterring forks, and dev support to scale. Topics Discussed 00:00 Introduction to Curve Finance and YieldBases 02:24 Understanding Curve's Unique Mechanisms 07:58 The Concept of veTokenomics 15:27 Lessons Learned from Building Curve 22:20 Exploring YieldBasis and Its Innovations 29:47 Understanding Yield Basis and Collateralization 32:25 Navigating Market Volatility and Liquidation Events 35:32 Metrics and Performance Insights of Yield Basis 38:35 Scaling Yield Basis: Future Directions 40:33 Yield Expectations and Market Dynamics 43:12 Potential Growth and Liquidity Challenges 46:18 Expanding to Other Chains and Governance Tokens 49:35 The Symbiotic Relationship with Curve 54:31 Upcoming Milestones and Future Developments Links Mentioned Michael Egorov on X Curve Finance Yield Basis Gnosis Epicenter - All Episodes SponsorsGnosis: Building decentralized infrastructure since 2015.

В этом выпуске обсуждаем криптофинансы: зачем вообще нужен блокчейн в мире, где уже всё работает через банки и SWIFT, как устроены кастодиальные и некастодиальные кошельки, и почему крипта — это не только про спекуляции. Говорим о том, как бизнесу защититься от потери ключей, на чём зарабатывают DeFi-протоколы, чем обеспечиваются токены и почему ставки по вкладам в крипте так далеки от привычных фиатных. В гостях Александр Тоболь, технический директор Кошелька в Telegram и бывший CTO VK. Александр рассказал, как устроены криптосервисы изнутри, что происходит с ликвидностью на биржах и почему, даже если у тебя есть все технические знания, поднимать собственного валидатора чаще всего не стоит. Также ждем вас, ваши лайки, репосты и комменты в мессенджерах и соцсетях!
