AI is already changing commodity trading operating models. And unlocking adjacent technologies such as digital assets and DeFI? That itself is changing the competitive landscape and attracting new participants from outside the sector. Where is that investment going? And how profound is this change going to be? And how quickly is it going to be upon us? Our guest is Eren Zekioglu. Eren has spent a career at hedge funds and at trading houses and at the intersection of trading, operations and technology, including at Glencore and Gunvor.

In this episode, host Friederike Ernst is joined by Michael Svoboda, CEO of Liquid AG, to discuss Liquity V2 and the launch of the BOLD stablecoin. Michael explains how Liquity maintains a governance-free, immutable architecture to provide "sovereign dollars" that are not dependent on human committees or centralized backstops. He introduces user-set interest rates, a novel DeFi primitive where borrowers determine their own rates to balance their cost of capital against the risk of being redeemed by stablecoin holders. They explore the technical mechanics of the BOLD stablecoin, its multi-collateral backing of ETH and LSTs, and why the protocol funnels 100% of fees directly to users rather than extracting rent. Michael also shares his analogy of crypto-native stablecoins as "electric engines" that offer a fundamentally different risk profile from traditional banking rails. Finally, the conversation dives into the impact of global regulations like MiCA and why the future of finance belongs to peer-to-peer credit markets.Topics00:00 Intro & Context04:15 Why Banking is Under Pressure09:30 From V1 to Liquity V215:00 User-Set Rates Explained21:45 Redemptions & Peg Stability27:10 Collateral Risk: ETH & LSTs35:20 Cefi vs. Defi Risk Spectrum42:15 Is Immutability Dogmatic?49:00 Revenue Distribution & Self-Sustainability55:30 Non-USD Stables & Global ShiftsLinksMichael on X: https://x.com/svobodamichaelLiquity: https://www.liquity.org/Bluechip: https://bluechip.org/Lido: https://lido.fi/stvaults?mtm_campaign=epicenterSponsors: Lido V3 introduces stVaults: modular staking infrastructure that lets builders and institutions deploy custom staking vaults, while staying anchored to stETH as a shared liquidity layer.

The market structure bill introduces a "control" test for DeFi protocols. The problem: nobody agrees on what control means. Figure is giving away $25,000 in USDC. Deposit into Democratized Prime, earn ~9% APY hourly—and every $1 you keep in for 25 days is 1 entry. Enter here Peter Van Valkenburgh of Coin Center sits down with Jessi Brooks and Vy Le to confront a question that will determine which DeFi projects can operate in the United States and which ones can't.  The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act creates a carve-out for non-custodial developers, codifying the principle that if you never hold customer funds, you shouldn't need a money transmitter license. Simple enough on paper.  But Vy presses on the hard cases: what about an admin key, an upgradeable vault, or a pause function built for security? Where exactly does "non-custodial" end and "control" begin?  Meanwhile, Jessi raises the tension the industry rarely wants to discuss. The DOJ just charged cartel brokers moving money through crypto, yet simultaneously dismantled its own enforcement teams.  If Congress clears developers, who pursues the actual criminals? The answer matters for every builder, investor, and victim watching this play out.

In this episode of The Milk Road Show, John Gillen breaks down what's really happening beneath the surface. Is this simply the four-year cycle playing out, or are broader macro forces driving this selloff? We dive into liquidity conditions, inflation data, capital flows, and the growing disconnect between price and fundamentals. While sentiment is collapsing, institutions are making moves. BlackRock is entering DeFi through Uniswap, Goldman Sachs holds significant crypto exposure, and onchain activity continues to grow.~~~~~⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Every token issuer knows that scale depends on liquidity, but liquidity depends on scale. To break this cycle, Bermuda-based MembersCap, the specialist reinsurance investment manager, is making available composable versions of its tokenised funds. The firm is confident composability will extend the range of allocators open to investing in MembersCap funds beyond traditional end-investors such as foundations and pension funds to encompass the corporate treasurers, hedge funds, market makers, arbitrageurs, proprietary traders and yield farmers active in the Decentralised Finance (DeFi) markets. The challenge is that the 24/7 trading models characteristic of DeFi demand instant liquidity. MembersCap meets the challenge through an innovative custodial structure. Which means the funds get a liquidity boost as well as wider distribution. Dominic Hobson, co-founder of Future of Finance, asked Bruce Jackson, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Capital Officer at MembersCap, how it all works.⭐ Read more about this interview: MembersCap is repackaging its tokenised funds to meet the needs of DeFi tradersLearn more and connect with Future of Finance:

Global markets are leaning into growth. Following the upside surprise in U.S. non-farm payrolls — with 130,000 jobs added and unemployment falling to 4.3% — investors are focusing on economic resilience rather than fading hopes of aggressive rate cuts. MSCI's All-World index is trading near record highs, while South Korea's Kospi has crossed 5,500 for the first time. Attention now turns to initial jobless claims and the upcoming CPI print, which could shape expectations for the Federal Reserve's June decision. CME FedWatch odds for a rate hold have climbed to 40%. In the UK, GDP expanded just 0.1% in Q4, while industrial production fell unexpectedly. Meanwhile, Nuveen has agreed to acquire asset manager Schroders for $13.5 billion. In digital assets, crypto markets remain steady despite Blockfills halting withdrawals. BlackRock is deepening its move into tokenized finance, bringing its Treasury-backed BUIDL token to Uniswap through Securitize. Court drama surrounding FTX has resurfaced, and Kraken has replaced its CFO ahead of its public listing. A busy macro backdrop with institutional crypto developments accelerating beneath the surface.

Is Bitcoin still just a digital store of value, or is it quietly evolving into the financial engine of a new on-chain economy? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Callan Sarre, Co-Founder of Threshold Labs, to explore what happens when the world's most recognized crypto asset stops sitting idle and starts becoming programmable capital. We recorded against the backdrop of a sharp market correction that wiped out value across crypto and traditional assets alike, making for a timely and honest conversation about volatility, maturity, and why Bitcoin's next chapter may be defined by utility rather than price speculation.  Callan explains how the rise of ETFs and institutional flows is reshaping ownership, while decentralized infrastructure is working to ensure users can still access the asset's underlying power. At the heart of our discussion is tBTC, a trust-minimized bridge that moves native Bitcoin into DeFi without handing control to centralized custodians. Callan breaks down how Threshold's decentralized custody model works in practice and why removing single points of failure matters in a post-FTX world. We also explore the behavioral barriers that have kept long-term holders from putting their BTC to work, the real risks behind Bitcoin yield strategies, and the infrastructure required to make these tools accessible to a broader audience through familiar Web2-style experiences. The conversation also takes a global turn as we look at why Asia is accelerating Bitcoin innovation, how regulation is driving institutional adoption in Western markets, and what the shift from DAO-led governance to a lab execution model reveals about the realities of building at scale.  Looking ahead five years, Callan paints a picture of an integrated on-chain financial system where Bitcoin can be borrowed against, deployed, and settled instantly across shared liquidity rails, while still preserving the principles that made it attractive in the first place. So if Bitcoin becomes productive capital and the majority of financial activity moves on-chain, what does that mean for traditional finance, for long-term holders, and for the next wave of builders? And are we ready for a world where the most secure monetary asset also becomes the most composable?

Send a textSelling crypto to fund life decisions can feel like cutting off future upside. We sat down with Tobias van Amstel, co-founder and CEO of Altitude, to unpack a smarter path: borrowing against assets like BTC and ETH so you can unlock liquidity while staying exposed to growth. From mortgages to market mechanics, we translate DeFi lending into simple mental models that make sense for founders, marketers, and anyone curious about finance that serves real needs.We start with what's broken in traditional lending: banks love your salary but struggle to lend against diverse assets. Tobias explains how on-chain collateral changes that dynamic, turning selling into a choice and letting both large funds and everyday savers access the same lending rails. We dive into trust signals that matter—transparent rules and reserves, audited code with real uptime, and teams that stand behind their products—so you can spot red flags before you click “borrow.”Then we decode yield. Not all returns are created equal, so we map the four main sources in DeFi: borrower-paid interest for lenders, trading fees for liquidity providers, real-world asset yields brought on-chain, and protocol incentives. Tobias shares how to weigh sustainability, liquidity, and risk so your returns aren't just numbers on a dashboard. For first-time borrowers, we get practical: wallets, security basics, gas, and why integrated on-ramps and loan optimizers can dramatically reduce friction and find best rates without hopping between protocols.We also explore why building financial infrastructure demands aviation-level rigor. In consumer apps, a bug irritates; in DeFi, it can vaporize funds. That's why testing, audits, conservative releases, and ongoing monitoring are non-negotiable. Finally, we look ahead to AI agents. Because blockchains are transparent and programmable, agents can analyze public data and act safely with scoped keys and guardrails—something closed, credentialed TradFi systems struggle to enable. If the industry can preserve open access—where a billion-dollar fund and someone with a hundred dollars share the same opportunities—DeFi will fulfill its promise to democratize finance.Enjoy the conversation, share it with a friend who's on the fence about DeFi, and leave a quick review to help more people find us.

Join Alex Tapscott as he decodes the world of crypto with special guest Rebecca Simmonds, Managing Executive of the Walrus Foundation. Listen in as they discuss why the next phase of AI won't just be about better models or smarter agents, but about trust, provenance, and ownership of the data those systems rely on. From decentralized storage and verifiable data markets to the rise of personal AI agents and new monetization models for user data, the conversation dives into how crypto infrastructure could become the economic and security layer for the AI economy. They also discuss the real-world path to adoption, from builders and DeFi use cases to enterprise experimentation, along with the challenges of competing with Big Tech, the role of tokens in decentralized data networks, and why the future of AI may depend on individuals reclaiming control of their digital lives. If AI runs on data, this episode asks the critical question: who controls it, and who captures the value?

Robinhood isn't just adding another crypto feature—it's assembling a new exchange stack: stock tokens, an Ethereum L2 built for real-world assets, and a wallet that can plug into DeFi. Johann Kerbrat (GM of Crypto at Robinhood) joins Bankless to unpack what “24/7 markets” actually requires, why liquidity and routing are the hidden battleground for tokenized equities, and how “Certified by Robinhood” could become a distribution moat for onchain apps. Along the way, they compare Robinhood's approach to tokenization with the NYSE's 24/7 tokenized platform plans and Nasdaq's tokenized securities proposal, and dig into what U.S. regulatory clarity would need to unlock stock tokens stateside.

Wyatt sits down with Bhavin, co-founder of Birch Hill to chat about the tokenized asset and DeFi market broadly. In this episode: Who is assessing whether cryptoassets are safe in DeFi today? Who is assessing risk and ensuring assets are solvent and not fraudulent? How have these standards been set and how are they evolving? What is a risk curator, how do risk curators make money, and what is their role? Is it the responsibility of protocols, curators, wallets, or someone else to protect users from buying bad assets? How do you expect non-DeFi-native market participants will start to enter this market? Will users eventually buy, hold, and sell assets on protocol interfaces, brokerages / exchanges, or risk curator interfaces? Does the Fat Protocol Thesis hold true? Where does value accrue today?

In this Feb 11, 2026 Crypto Town Hall, hosts and guests discuss extreme market fear, dismiss SBF's jailhouse bid for a new trial as futile, and slam big banks' lobbying to kill stablecoin yield via the Clarity Act as pure protectionism. They highlight stablecoins' potential to drive U.S. Treasury demand, BlackRock's DeFi push (including Uniswap), the collapse of hype-driven VC tokens, real-world asset tokenization opportunities, and persistent legal uncertainty for utility tokens without lasting regulatory clarity. The episode closes with AI's rapid coding/automation advances, its disruption of SaaS and DeFi, emerging security/legal risks from AI agents, and why tokenized money (especially stablecoins) will likely power future autonomous systems.
