The CFTC pulled a power last used in the Carter era to rescue Kalshi. Katherine, Jessi, and Vy Le on what it means — plus Japan's crypto tax cut and DTCC's tokenization leap. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! Cape: Your biggest crypto vulnerability isn't your wallet, it's your phone number. Cape is America's privacy-first mobile carrier that rotates your SIM identity daily and blocks SIM swaps before they happen. Get 33% off your first six months at https://cape.co/unchained (use code: UNCHAINED). ======================================================== Kalshi had a rough week. Sued by Michigan, hit with a restraining order, then rescued by a CFTC emergency power invoked only four times in the agency's history, most recently during Jimmy Carter's Cold War grain embargo. Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, Jessi Brooks, and Vy Le untangle how a fight over sports event contracts became a battle over federal preemption, why Kalshi also pulled its flight cancellation contracts under public pressure, and the insider-trading allegation swirling around a Trump teleprompter operator. They also cover Japan's new financial instruments law, which cuts crypto's tax rate from as high as 55% to a flat 20% and is already pulling Amazon Japan's delivery drivers onto yen stablecoins. Then there's DTCC's live settlement of tokenized securities with JPMorgan, Goldman, and BlackRock, which Vy Le argues could end the era of synthetic wrapper tokens. And the Clarity Act, still stuck on ethics and yield disputes as the midterms eat into Congress's calendar. The episode closes on a rare bright note: pseudonymous investigator ZachXBT turning impersonation memecoins into charity donations for Venezuela's earthquake victims. Host: Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, General Counsel. Previously held senior legal roles across DeFi and centralized exchanges.

What does 42 actually look like? According to Carla and Dex... it's acupuncture appointments, spending way too much money on skincare, arguing about hot dogs for ten minutes, refusing to go anywhere that starts after 8 PM, and finally realizing that peace is worth protecting. This birthday episode starts with laughs but quickly turns into one of those conversations that sneaks up on you. The hosts talk about aging, health, dating, friendships, boundaries, money, career decisions, and the freedom that comes from finally knowing who you are. They compare what excited them in their twenties versus what brings them joy now, debate whether dating gets easier or harder with age, and imagine what they hope life looks like forty years from now. It's funny. It's honest. And it's the kind of conversation that reminds you getting older doesn't mean becoming less you just become more yourself. In This Episode Why getting older feels more freeing than scary The wellness habits they're actually investing in now The surprising things that become exciting in your late 30s and 40s Dating standards that change with age Why boundaries get easier the older you get Spending money on health vs. spending money on everything else Career advice they wish they had followed sooner The future they're intentionally building—not just hoping for What peace looks like in this season of life Plenty of laughs about birthdays, hot dogs, Botox, and why nobody wants plans that start after 8 PM Memorable Moments The birthday conversation that turns into a reflection on aging. A hilarious debate over the "right" way to eat a hot dog. Why morning routines have become sacred. The reality of dating when you actually know what you want. Imagining life 40 years from now—and what really matters by then. CONNECT WITH US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: CARLA WILMARIS | DEX

Two weeks after launch, 85% of Robinhood Chain's trading is memecoins and just 1% is RWAs. Johann Kerbrat says that doesn't change the strategy. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor!

Cape is America's privacy-first mobile carrier that rotates your SIM identity daily and blocks SIM swaps before they happen. Get 33% off your first six months at cape.co/unchained (use code: UNCHAINED). ======================================================== Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev told CNBC on July 2 that real-world assets, not memecoins, were the future of crypto on Robinhood Chain. Two weeks after launch, the numbers disagree: roughly 85% of daily trading on the chain is memecoins, while tokenized RWAs sit at about 1%. Johann Kerbrat, Vice President and General Manager of Robinhood Crypto, joins Laura Shin to argue the split is not a problem. He makes the case that building the chain permissionless was deliberate, and that memecoin trading through CashCat and PumpFun brings the liquidity RWAs will eventually need. Kerbrat also defends building the chain's lending and margin system on USDG over USDC or Tether, walks through the separate, unshared liquidity instance behind Robinhood's new perps product with Lighter, and addresses Robinhood's 63% quarterly drop in crypto transaction revenue. His answer: Robinhood Chain was never meant to smooth out that swing, and the real test is whether tokenization can outrun regulation.

Mert Mumtaz, co-founder and CEO of Helius, breaks down why he sees Solana and Zcash as two of crypto's most undervalued bets heading into 2026, using his "physics and incentives" framework to separate real conviction from trader noise. He also debunks the recent Zcash security scare, explains why AI is forcing crypto toward "spaceflight-level" security standards, and weighs in on Near's high-upside, low-conviction potential.THE SHIFT NEWSLETTER
The Supreme Court just made it easier to fire SEC and CFTC commissioners. Katherine, Jessi, and Vy on why that could reset who controls crypto policy.

Get 33% off your first six months at https://cape.co/unchained (use code: UNCHAINED). ======================================================== The Supreme Court just tore up a 90-year-old precedent that kept independent-agency commissioners safe from a president's whims, and almost no one in crypto is talking about what it means for the SEC and the CFTC. Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, Jessi Brooks, and Vy Le trace how the ruling in Trump v. Slaughter changes who actually controls financial regulation. Then they cross the Atlantic to the UK's sweeping new crypto rulebook and the European Commission's move to expand MiCA just as its first version fully takes effect. They also dig into a Cambridge report showing fighters from one of the world's most brutal terror groups using chatbots to troubleshoot weapons and plan attacks, and ask why there's no Section 230 for crypto or AI, only a growing pile of civil lawsuits testing where liability lands. Jessi Brooks argues crypto's decade of learning to police neutral technology might be the only playbook AI has left to borrow. Host: Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, General Counsel.

They also dig into a Cambridge report showing fighters from one of the world's most brutal terror groups using chatbots to troubleshoot weapons and plan attacks, and ask why there's no Section 230 for crypto or AI, only a growing pile of civil lawsuits testing where liability lands. Jessi Brooks argues crypto's decade of learning to police neutral technology might be the only playbook AI has left to borrow. Host: Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, General Counsel.

This week, Carla and Dex catch up on everything from spontaneous adventures and Puerto Rico reflections to the conversations that have everyone talking online. What starts with stories about swan boats, bingo halls, and self-driving cars quickly turns into a deeper conversation about motherhood, friendship, financial security, and why adulthood keeps forcing us to redefine what support really looks like. The episode explores whether women should be financially compensated for pregnancy, the rising maternal mortality crisis impacting Black women, and the reality that bringing children into the world still comes with unequal risks. They also unpack new student loan changes, share thoughts on the true cost of maintaining friendships in your 30s, and discuss how relationships naturally evolve without always needing to end in conflict. Dex also opens up about parenting a child with autism while reacting to the viral story of an 11-year-old boy who independently ordered an Uber to the airport because he wanted to fly to Japan. The conversation becomes a reminder of both the incredible capabilities of autistic children and the unique challenges their families navigate every day. As always, the episode balances humor with honesty, mixing viral stories, personal experiences, and thoughtful conversations about growing up, growing apart, and figuring out life as you go. In This Episode Carla's mission to experience Orlando like a tourist Puerto Rico, family reunions, and finding a sense of home Are self-driving cars ready for real life?

Vlad Novakovski, founder and CEO of Lighter, joins Laura Shin to unpack a partnership he says has been building since he and the Robinhood founder were high school classmates. He details a 50/50 revenue split, why USDG as collateral creates friction for market makers, and how a pending CFTC license would cover Robinhood's own front-end too. Novakovski also addresses the crowded field forming around US perps, from Kalshi and Coinbase to Kraken and dYdX, and makes the case that onchain volume keeps gaining share even as crypto native tokens lag real world asset perps. His new seat on the CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee puts him in the room as regulators decide what a DEX has to look like to operate onshore.

Ari Redbord sits down with Katherine, Jessi, and Vy to talk about SEC clarity, the onshore perps boom, and DeFi's opsec problem — plus why the U.S. should hack North Korea back.

Get 33% off your first six months at https://cape.co/unchained (use code: UNCHAINED). The hosts of DEX in the City spend every week breaking down crypto's legal fights. This time, they're the ones answering the questions. Ari Redbord, Global Head of Policy at TRM Labs, sits down with Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, Jessi Brooks, and Vy Le for a wide-ranging conversation on where crypto's regulatory and security battles are actually headed. Vy traces her path from SEC enforcement to her case for "tech-neutral" rules: regulators should regulate outcomes, not technology. Katherine explains why DCMs have become crypto's hottest acronym, as true perps and prediction markets move onshore. And Jessi makes her push to stop calling North Korea's hacks "illicit finance" and start naming them a national security threat: Pyongyang, she notes, is funding a weapons program with stolen crypto. Ari goes further — if North Korea can steal hundreds of millions from DeFi, the U.S. should steal it back. Vy pushes back on the panic over the recent hacks: most, she argues, weren't broken smart contracts at all, just sloppy operational security. The conversation covers SEC clarity, the CFTC's moment, DeFi security, on-chain privacy, and what it really takes to keep the ecosystem safe.

This week, Carla and Dex unpack what it means to stop living for "the next thing" and start finding joy in the life that's already unfolding. From unexpected life updates and health check-ins to parenting during summer break, solo living, AI, and the internet's latest obsession with "solo maxing," this conversation is a reminder that fulfillment isn't always waiting somewhere in the future. They also dive into the financial realities of adulthood, why making a "smaller" decision isn't always a step backward, the invisible cost of parenting, and the importance of maximizing whatever season you're currently in instead of constantly rushing toward another one. As always, it's honest, funny, a little chaotic, and full of the conversations we'd probably be having off-camera anyway. In This Episode Why "solo maxing" is really about building a life you genuinely enjoy. The pressure to always chase the next milestone. Health, aging, and making smarter choices before life forces you to. Why downsizing isn't always a setback. The emotional and financial realities of parenting during summer break. Should adult children have their parents' location? AI, technology, and whether we're becoming too dependent on it. Finding joy in simple experiences instead of constantly chasing bigger ones. Music, pop culture, and the week's funniest moments. Takeaway Your happiness doesn't have to wait for a relationship, a new job, more money, or whatever comes next.

In this episode, Jesse Schrader (Jestopher), CEO of Amboss, joins us to break down RailsX — their new Lightning-native DEX.We discuss:
Peter interviews Bryan Colligan and Eric Waisanen from AlphaGrowth about the Cardano Prime proposal, the missing DeFi infrastructure on Cardano, how liquidity incentives could work, and what transparency the community should expect before treasury funds are committed.Key Takeaways:- AlphaGrowth says its Cardano Prime work would begin with a deep audit of Cardano DeFi infrastructure, applications, and liquidity gaps.- The team argues Cardano needs coordinated DeFi primitives, including stablecoin liquidity, money markets, DEX depth, bridges, and oracle infrastructure.- AlphaGrowth points to prior work with ecosystems such as Compound as evidence of its ability to attract and structure DeFi liquidity.- The proposal includes phased work: audit and planning, protocol buildout and integrations, then marketing and incentive campaigns.- The interview covers KPIs, reporting, community oversight, and why treasury funds should be released with accountability checks.- Peter pushes for detail on timelines, execution risk, UTXO-specific challenges, and whether this can realistically move Cardano DeFi by year end.Links & References:AlphaGrowth Cardano Prime Proposalhttps://link.learncardano.io/RKWXyBBryan Colligan: Founder & CEOhttps://link.learncardano.io/XbzA78https://link.learncardano.io/xyZcQoEric Waisanen: Head of DeFi Operationshttps://link.learncardano.io/JnyEpEWebsite: https://learncardano.ioX/Twitter: https://x.com/LearnCardanoDisclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION In this episode, I sit down with Milos, Lead Engineer at Enso, live at Berlin Blockchain Week. We dig into the real problem holding back DeFi builders, complexity. Audits cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, bridges are a nightmare, and integrating protocols is a full-time job on its own. Enso is tackling all of that with a single API that handles routing, security, and DeFi actions across 100-plus protocols, so developers and agents can just build. We also get into the RWA boom, the current state of AI agents in Web3, and why Milos thinks we should never forget where DeFi came from.

In Episode 319 of The Block Runner Podcast, hosts William and I-man are joined for a third time by Benny the Dev of Tap and Track. Benny walks through the TAP protocol's largest upgrade since 2023: native time locks, delegations, and HTLC-based cross-chain swaps that work without bridges, all done natively through meta protocols rather than soft L2s. They dig into Tapscope, the new cross-chain DEX, and Benny's take on perpetuals he calls superpositions, isolated collateral arenas that avoid cascading liquidations. He also teases phase two (the full cross-chain trading matrix) and a phase three AI integration. Then a retrospective on routing NAT emissions to Bitcoin miners, now over sixty percent of hashrate with four of the top five pools engaged, why the declining Bitcoin subsidy and security budget is a real long-term problem, and why NAT, built on the bitsfield with a minimal, non-invasive footprint, may be the perfect engineering answer to it. Plus: building ahead of the narrative, the OpenSea lesson, NAT.fun's dual-rail Solana and Bitcoin approach, Tim Sweeney's Team Open and the NFT/gaming revival, and where AI genuinely helps in development versus where human instinct still wins. Disclosure: The hosts are founders of NAT.fun and hold positions in assets discussed. Nothing in this episode is financial advice.

Stellar (XLM) has been one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies in recent weeks, fueled by growing speculation surrounding its role in the future of tokenized finance and digital asset infrastructure. I break down the recent surge in XLM, the significance of the DTCC announcement, and why institutional adoption narratives are once again putting Stellar in the spotlight. We discuss tokenization, blockchain-based settlement, real-world asset infrastructure, and whether Stellar is positioned to play a meaningful role in the next generation of financial markets. Is this the beginning of a larger move for XLM, or just another short-term rally?

This week, Carla and Dex are back with one of those conversations that somehow starts with body changes in your 40s, detours through parenting philosophies, and lands in some of the biggest questions women ask themselves in midlife: What happens when you stop trying? The episode opens with a candid catch-up on life lately empty nesting, dating, career pivots, raising neurodivergent children, fitness goals, and figuring out who you are when the roles you've always identified with start to shift. As both women navigate very different seasons of motherhood, they reflect on what it means to build a life that feels full beyond work, relationships, and parenting. They also dive into the growing backlash against "gentle parenting" and explore the difference between parenting with empathy and parenting without boundaries. Carla and Dex unpack how their own childhood experiences shaped the way they parent today, what they've had to unlearn, and why self-awareness may be one of the most important parenting tools we have. The conversation takes a heavier turn as they discuss the tragic Carmelo Anthony case and the devastating consequences that can come from a single moment of conflict. Through the lens of motherhood, they explore accountability, self-defense, emotional regulation, and the difficult realities of raising children in today's world. Later, things lighten up with a hilarious womanhood segment featuring dating hot takes, relationship boundaries, attraction red flags, and a few questions that reveal just how different and how similar their views on love, intimacy, and relationships really are. But the heart of this episode centers around a listener letter from a woman who admits she's emotionally checked out of her marriage and feels relieved about it. Together, Carla and Dex explore the difference between burnout, resentment, emotional numbness, and knowing when a relationship may have reached a crossroads. They discuss therapy, communication, perimenopause, and the importance of being honest with yourself before making life-changing decisions. Because sometimes the question isn't: "Should I leave?" Sometimes the question is: "When did I stop showing up?" In This Episode: The unexpected realities of your 40s Empty nesting and rediscovering yourself Gentle parenting vs. permissive parenting Breaking generational parenting patterns The Carmelo Anthony case and accountability Dating standards that change with age Relationship red flags we once thought were attractive Why emotional numbness can be a warning sign Marriage burnout vs. relationship disconnection Perimenopause and its impact on relationships Learning to communicate before resentment becomes permanent CONNECT WITH US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: CARLA WILMARIS | DEX
