«Midterm-Review» nennt das KOF Institut der ETH ihren Vorschlag, um die UBS zu regulieren, ohne dem Wirtschaftsstandort Schweiz zu schaden. Das Eigenkapital soll schrittweise erhöht werden, die Auswirkungen 2031 kritisch überprüft. Das schlägt Co-Direktor Hans Gersbach vor. Die UBS moniert, die vom Bundesrat vorgeschlagenen Eigenkapitalanforderungen seien volkswirtschaftlich zu wenig durchdacht. Die Folgen für die Schweizer Wirtschaft, auch für die Grossbank und den Werkplatz Schweiz seien zu gravierend. Die UBS erhält breiten Support von Wirtschaftsverbänden und den bürgerlichen Parteien. Das KOF Institut der ETH ist nach ihrer Einschätzung nicht überzeugt vom politischen "Kompromiss", welcher nun in die parlamentarische Diskussion einfliessen soll: Statt ausschliesslich hartem Eigenkapital sollen auch AT1-Kapitalinstrumente (sogenannte bedingte Wandelanleihen) zur Unterlegung ausländischer Tochtergesellschaften angerechnet werden, die bei einer Verschlechterung der Kapitalquote oder im Krisenfall verlusttragend sind und abgeschrieben werden können. Das KOF Institut nimmt aber die volkswirtschaftlichen Bedenken ernst und schlägt nun einen neuen Weg vor: den «Midterm-Review»: Bis 2031 soll schrittweise in Richtung der neuen Eigenkapitalvorschriften wie vom Bundesrat vorgeschlagen gegangen werden. Falls sich die Befürchtungen beginnen zu bewahrheiten, müssten neue Wege gesucht werden. Warum taugen AT1 Instrumente weniger gut als hartes Eigenkapital? Ist eine Abkehr von den Eigenmittelanforderungen nicht zu spät, wenn sich negative Auswirkungen zeigen sollten? Was wären die Alternativen in einem solchen Fall? Hans Gersbach, Co-Direktor der KOF, ist zu Gast im Tagesgespräch bei Karoline Arn.

Bitcoin has just SMASHED through the $94,000 mark, hitting its highest level since mid-December 2025!

In this episode, Lex speaks with Michael Egorov - Founder of Curve Finance and YieldBasis. Kicking things off about his journey from experimental physicist to founder of Curve Finance and YieldBasis, highlighting how theoretical physics concepts influenced his creation of financial invariants in DeFi protocols.Curve pioneered fully automated concentrated liquidity for stablecoins and introduced veTokenomics, a governance model rewarding long-term commitment with voting power and protocol fees. Egorov defends veTokenomics against criticisms of unlock-driven volatility, citing that most CRV locks average over 3 years and behave like permanent commitments. YieldBasis expands Curve's approach by offering impermanent gain strategies to counter impermanent loss in volatile markets like Bitcoin, aiming to scale toward a $50B market ceiling.The discussion closes with reflections on DeFi token market structure challenges and Egorov's call for protocols to connect token value to real economic flows by activating fee-sharing mechanisms.NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS:veTokenomics Drives Long-Term Alignment and Token Sink EfficiencyMichael Egorov introduced veTokenomics in Curve to address short-termism in token governance by requiring users to lock CRV tokens for up to 4 years to gain voting power and protocol rewards. This mechanism has proven effective in practice, with the average CRV lock time exceeding 3 years, effectively removing tokens from circulation. Egorov notes that veTokenomics removed 3x more tokens from supply than buybacks would have, highlighting its material impact on protocol stability and investor alignment.YieldBasis Aims to Neutralize Impermanent Loss via Engineered Impermanent GainYieldBasis builds on Curve's AMM infrastructure by combining two layers: a Curve pool experiencing impermanent loss, and a complementary structure engineered to capture “impermanent gain”. This dual-layer approach statistically delivers net profit in volatile assets like Bitcoin, assuming mean-reverting price movements. Egorov estimates the market ceiling for this strategy at $50 billion, positioning YieldBasis as a scalable solution for volatility-based yield generation.DeFi's Market Structure Issues Stem from Uncertain Token-Economics LinkagesEgorov critiques much of DeFi for failing to connect protocol economics to token value. While Curve distributes fees directly to CRV lockers, most protocols (like Uniswap) have not activated fee-sharing mechanisms (”fee switches”), creating valuation uncertainty. Egorov argues that unless projects “turn the switch on” and reduce economic ambiguity, token pricing will remain volatile and fragile, hindering broader adoption and investment confidence.TOPICSCurve Finance, YieldBasis, Uniswap, MakerDAO, Convex, StakeDAO, Threshold Network, NuCypher, AladdinDAO, Athena, Yearn, DeFi, veTokenomics, AMM, Stablecoin, Tokenomics, Governance, CRV Token, Ethereum, ETH, Bitcoin, BTC ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

Donald Trump empfängt am späten Abend Israels Premierminister Benjamin Netanjahu in Florida. Hauptthema des Treffens ist die Zukunft des Gazastreifens. Was erhofft man sich von dem Treffen und wo steht die Umsetzung des US-Plans für Gaza? Einschätzungen von SRF-Auslandredaktorin Susanne Brunner. Weitere Themen: Der Bundesrat will in den nächsten Jahren das Forschungsbudget der Armee massiv ausbauen. Konkret heisst das: Hochschulen sollen rund zehnmal so viel Forschungsgelder erhalten wie bisher. Für die Hochschulen, insbesondere die ETH, ist das ein Spannungsfeld. Die Wiedereinführung der allgemeinen Wehrpflicht sorgt in vielen Ländern Europas für hitzige Diskussionen. Nicht so in Kroatien. Dort müssen im neuen Jahr alle jungen Kroaten wieder ins Militär, nachdem die Regierung im Oktober ein Gesetz zur Wiederherstellung der Wehrpflicht verabschiedet hat.

Kevin Lepsoe is the Founder of ETHGAS.What if Ethereum could feel instant? In this episode, we explore whether blockspace futures trading could pave the way toward a gasless, real-time Ethereum, and what that would mean for DeFi, MEV, validators, and the broader L2 scaling roadmap.------

William Mougayar is an author, entrepreneur, investor, and Ethereum advocate.In this episode, we explore why Ethereum shouldn't be valued like a stock, but instead understood as a public good infrastructure, more like the Internet valued through the lens of dependence, economic flow, and trust.------

This is the dumb money playing field and they built it on purpose. In this episode, I break down how Wall Street, brokers, and these new 5x leveraged ETFs are setting retail investors up to get obliterated, while the wealthy quietly print money with assets, loans, and tax games most people never get taught. We talk about how 23-hour trading, 5x leveraged stock & crypto ETFs, and casino-style apps are designed to keep you glued to the screen, over-leveraged, and emotionally cooked — while the people who built the game barely touch this stuff. If you trade AMD, Nvidia, Tesla, Coinbase, Bitcoin, ETH, Solana, XRP, Amazon, Google, MSTR, Palantir… this episode is a must-watch before you ever touch a leveraged ETF.Join our Exclusive Patreon!!!
