Gauntlet's Tarun Chitra joins us to unpack the latest developments—from OpenSea's upcoming airdrop to Arbitrum's permissionless fault proofs—while we debate whether airdrops are truly over. We also dig into Vitalik's “communist” joke and Dave Portnoy's memecoin mania. Tune in for all the drama and alpha happening in the second week of February! ------

Despite the range-bound movement, activity in the Ethereum derivatives market has spiked considerably, with short sellers increasing their positions. The number of short positions on ETH has surged to a historic high. This rise shows that many traders are bearish and anticipating that Ethereum could plunge further. However, this scenario could flip bullish if a sudden surge in ETH price hits a liquidation level that forces short sellers to close their positions, leading to a short squeeze.~This episode is sponsored by iTrust Capital~iTrustCapital | Get $100 Funding Reward + No Monthly Fees when you sign up using our custom link! ➜ https://bit.ly/iTrustPaul00:00 Intro00:16 Sponsor: iTrust Capital00:46 Trump Tariffs01:27 Barclay's Head Strategist: Trump walking a fine line between growth & tariffs03:00 Government shut down this year?03:20 Saylor buys more03:45 What is happening with Ethereum?04:52 ETH Liquidation Trap?06:30 ETH ETF chart07:54 Ethereum gas prices drops08:32 Staked ETH + Lido V309:20 February10:04 Solana users moving to AVAX?10:55 Hearing: Golden Age of Digital Assets11:33 Ethereum stablecoin market cap rising12:35 Outro#Ethereum #bitcoin #Crypto~Epic Ethereum Short-Squeeze Coming?

Juan Leon is a Senior Investment Strategist at Bitwise. In this episode, we sit down to discuss Bitwise's recent CIO memo, 'Ethereum: The Comeback Kid of 2025.' We explore why Juan's team sees a turning point ahead for Ethereum and ETH, the significance of surging ETH ETF inflows, the $100T opportunity in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), and how these trends could drive value accrual for ETH the asset. ------

New ‘Sode. Alas, as I sit polishing my ninja green Birkin bag buckle, alone after being dumped by a ParaFI partner, I ponder what went wrong in 2024 in Glitter and Crypto. There was the horrifying misunderstanding at Neiman Marcus ETH Denver that resulted in my shoplifting misdemeanor, the disappointing lack of staking in the ETH ETF that left most of my circle lightly slitting their wrists to the soundtrack of Usher Let it Burn, NFTs left completely out of the ERA's tour, Caroline Ellison's refusal to wear anything cute at her trial, .   I am high on AI generated meth with excitement for the 2025 Chinese New Year of the Snake, which can only bring good fortune.  I have so many hopes and dreams for 2025 that I hope my AI avatar bot can pin to my vision board in time for the year new me new meme coin. I digress. My guest is the fabulous Susan Oh. AI Afficiando who was recently beat up in a hotel room by her co-founder (and is OK) and was able to stop at Glitter Ledger Headquarters on her way to press charges before heading back to Bali. Susan has the IQ of Marilyn Monroe. Her story upbringing is fascinating. She and her  family fled South Korea's military dictatorship and then left Iran before the Ayatollah took over; and she family assumed refugee status for 8= months in the UK, before they were sponsored in Canada, where she grew up. She then became a teenage chain smoking punk rocker out at gay discos. Susan then had a career in journalism, media, AI and crypto all mixed together in a big clay pot thrown into a  Kiln of glitter and madness before developing her baby Muckr AI, a company that uses AI to flag disinformation. Unfortunately, the funding has had some interesting bumps. Listen on. Happy New Year. #GlitterLedger.

Is the crypto bull market over? The crypto sentiment has suddenly flipped bearish. The skeptics are saying that the ETH ETF will amount to nothing. Gox will dump on you. There are no new crypto use cases. There's too much token supply. The bearish list goes on. So what gives? Is this just summertime slowness or is the bull market over? ------ ✨ Mint the episode on Zora ✨ https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x0c294913a7596b427add7dcbd6d7bbfc7338d53f/21 ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:

The SEC won't pursue enforcement against Ethereum 2.0, but why? How much of a role did politics play? And where does that leave staking and court cases involving companies such as Consensys and Coinbase? Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.Last week, Consensys revealed that the SEC had concluded an investigation into Ethereum 2.0, referring to when Ethereum transitioned from a proof-of-work consensus mechanism to a proof-of-stake one.In this episode, Laura Brookover, senior counsel & head of litigation and investigations at Consensys, and Sam Enzer, partner at Cahill Gordon & Reindel, explore the implications of this decision on Ether's status as a commodity versus a security, and why the SEC dropped the pursuit, including whether the shifting political winds played a role. For instance, how much of the decision was influenced by the ETH ETF approvals, Democrats crossing party lines to vote for FIT21 and the repeal of SAB 121, and/or SEC crypto enforcement chief David Hirsch's resignation? In this discussion, they also explained why the closure doesn't necessarily mean that staking, or restaking, is safe from the SEC. Plus, what's the impact of this closure on the other big crypto cases, such as Coinbase, Kraken, Uniswap, and Ripple? Show highlights:How Consensys managed to get the SEC to reveal that it had concluded its investigation into Ethereum 2.0, and the significance of that moveThe SEC's possible reasoning behind investigating Ethereum after it had switched to proof of stakeHow uncommon is it for the SEC to send a letter concluding an investigation like the one into EthereumWhether recent events around crypto as an election issue, the ETH ETF approvals, votes for FIT21 and the repeal of SAB 121, and David Hirsch's resignation, might be connected to the decision to close this investigationWhether the Biden administration has shifted its stance on crypto and whether Gensler should remain as chairHow the SEC might still go after stakingWhether restaking, such as pioneered by EigenLayer, is safe from regulatory actionsWhy the SEC might be pursuing different judgments in various jurisdictions for MetaMask and Coinbase WalletWhat crucial evidence from the closed Ethereum 2.0 investigation could strengthen Coinbase's defense in its ongoing lawsuitWhy the SEC's aggressive stance on various crypto enforcement actions seems to remain unchanged despite closing the Ethereum 2.0 investigationWhy Sam and Laura believe Solana should not be considered a security, despite the SEC naming it as such in various crypto casesHow the SEC's argument about an “ecosystem” is nonsensical, according to Laura BrookoverWhat the implications of the closed investigation are for the cases of Kraken and RippleWhat Sam and Laura B. are watching out for in terms of regulation and ongoing legal casesVisit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.comThank you to our sponsors!PolkadotGuests:Laura Brookover, Senior Counsel & Head of Litigation and Investigations at ConsensysPrevious appearance on Unchained: Consensys's Lawsuit Against The SEC: Will It End Gensler's ‘Unlawful Power Grab'?Sam Enzer, Partner at Cahill Gordon & ReindelPrevious appearances on Unchained:The Real Reason Why the SEC Might Be Going After EthereumHow 'a Criminal Choice' Got Sam Bankman-Fried a 25-Year Prison SentenceWhy the SEC's Case Against Coinbase Is So Significant for CryptoWhy SBF's Testimony So Far Has Likely Already Doomed HimAnother Bad Week for Sam Bankman-Fried in His Criminal TrialWhy These Lawyers Say It's Over for SBF-But His Only Hail Mary Is to TestifySBF Trial: How Sam Bankman-Fried's Lawyers Might Try and Win His CaseSBF's Lawyers Could Be Annoying the Judge How Might That Impact the Trial?LinksEthereum ‘Survives the SEC'Consensys announcement blog Consensys' threadLaura Brookover's tweet on the investigation being closed.Investigation Termination LetterFortune: Ethereum wins a major battle, but its war with the SEC is far from over CNBC: Consensys' head of litigation provides new details after SEC closes probe into crypto firmConsensys lawsuit against the SECOriginal Press ReleaseConsensys V.

In this episode of Bits + Bips, hosts James Seyffart, Alex Kruger, and Joe McCann, along with guest Hal Press, founder of North Rock Digital, dive into the intricate challenges of pitching the ETH spot ETF to traditional finance and the Federal Reserve's anticipated next steps.
