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.

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!!!

Everyone in crypto has a horror story. In this episode, Joel and Travis turn the mic on themselves and the community for a raw, honest look at loss, regret, and the painful side of the crypto journey. Travis recounts how he lost 55 Bitcoin he mined back in 2010 after a hardware failure and no backup of his keys. Joel shares how he was seconds away from reading a 2FA code to a fake “Google security” caller that could have compromised everything tied to his account. Add in a 10 ETH honeypot scam, drained wallets, and NFT phishing, and you start to see a pattern: nobody is immune. Along the way, they read anonymous posts from the CoinFessions account on X – real stories of people who:– Turned life-changing gains into dust by trying to time “one more pump”– Lost six figures to scams and bad decisions– Sat through entire bull runs and never took profits– Finally got it right after years of pain and one big, smart exit This episode covers:– Why even experienced users still get wrecked– The psychology behind never taking profits on the way up– How grief, stress, and desperation make you vulnerable to scams– Why experiences and relationships matter more than your portfolio balance– A brief look ahead at what macro conditions and liquidity might mean for the next phase of the market If you have ever:– Round-tripped your portfolio– Lost coins to a scam, bad link, or bad judgment– Felt alone or ashamed about your mistakes …this is group therapy. You are not the only one. The Bad Crypto Podcast has been here since 2017, and the guys are still in the arena with you. Pull up a chair, listen in, and maybe walk away feeling a little less wrecked and a little more human.Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this special double-feature episode of Bits + Bips, Unchained executive editor Steve Ehrlich brings listeners two of the clearest investor perspectives on where the crypto markets may be headed next. First, Owen Lau, Managing Director at Clear Street, breaks down why crypto equities remain so tightly correlated to Bitcoin—and what might finally cause that link to break. He unpacks the growing role of stablecoin revenue, Coinbase and Circle's evolving business models, and why a market structure bill in 2026 could reshape the sector. Then, in the second half, Bob Diamond and David Schamis of Hyperliquid Strategies explain why they believe Hyperliquid and its HYPE token represent one of the most compelling opportunities in digital assets. They walk through the rationale for their DAT, Hyperliquid's performance during extreme market volatility, and the broader ecosystem being built through HIP-3 and beyond.

We also cover Ethereum's Fusaka upgrade, Vitalik's push to bring builders back to L1, Polymarket's mainstream breakout and CNN–Kalshi deal, and Aztec's 16K ETH privacy auction.
