Leo Lanza is a well known Ethereum investor and content creator.Markets are panicking. ETH is down 50% from its all-time high. Sentiment across all crypto markets is at multi-year lows. But Leo remains steadfast.He breaks down why Ethereum can't be replicated, why the four-year cycle is breaking, and how the CLARITY Act could be crypto's biggest catalyst ever. He explains why ETH is valued like gold or oil, not a tech stock, and walks through the math behind his $80,000 price target.In this episode, we cover:+ Why Ethereum is like Netflix replacing Blockbuster+ His $80,000 ETH thesis+ Why the CLARITY Act changes everything for institutional adoption+ L2s as Ethereum's weapon for distribution and growth+ What could break Leo's bull case------

Dan Nathan welcomes Michael Dempsey, partner at Compound VC, for an in-depth discussion on AI, crypto, and technological investing. Returning guest Dempsey shares his insights on historical and emerging trends in AI, highlighting the evolving landscape of AI commercialization, the increasing speed from research to market, and the shift from market cap expansion to destruction. The podcast also dives into Dempsey's venture capital strategies, discussing his firm's impressive portfolio, including companies like Runway and Wave, and their new public markets fund. The conversation later transitions to crypto, with guest Evan Karvounis sharing his journey and the significant potential he sees in the decentralized exchange, Hyper Liquid. Michael further elaborates on Bitcoin's potential as a store of value. The episode encapsulates a comprehensive overview of the bleeding-edge tech landscape and its promising future. After the break, Dan welcomes Evan Karvounis to the pod. Evan shares his view on Bitcoin's current branding issues linked to the Trump administration and the preference for gold among Eastern investors. The conversation then shifts to Ethereum and Solana, which Evan believes are significantly overvalued, explaining their past success through the 'casino chip thesis.' The focus then moves to Hyper Liquid, a decentralized exchange project Evan heavily invests in. He outlines its unique approach of building a product before a chain, its market potential, and recent impressive growth, particularly in traditional asset trading. The discussion concludes with Hyper Liquid's market positioning and revenue growth potential. —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media

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.

En este episodio pongo sobre la mesa una de las trampas intelectuales más comunes en cripto: analizar blockchains como si fueran empresas. Ese lente distorsiona por completo cómo entendemos su valor. Aquí cambiamos el marco mental para ver a los blockchains como lo que realmente se están convirtiendo: economías soberanas on-chain, “ciudades digitales” con actividad económica, flujos de capital y un “PIB” propio medible con señales como uso real, fees, volumen y dinámicas de liquidez. Comparo ecosistemas como Ethereum, Solana, Tron y Hyperliquid desde indicadores de actividad y rol dentro del sistema (no desde promesas). También explico por qué la volatilidad no es un bug, sino parte del rendimiento esperado cuando estás participando en economías emergentes. Este episodio no es para elegir “la mejor cripto”. Es para aprender a hacer mejores preguntas y dejar de usar modelos mentales que ya no aplican al juego que se está construyendo.

Świat tradycyjnych i cyfrowych finansów coraz mocniej się przenika, a najlepszym tego potwierdzeniem jest rozwój ETF-ów inwestujących w krypto oraz trend tokenizowania aktywów. Czym są tokenizowane akcje i fundusze ETF, czy stanowią alternatywę, a może wręcz konkurencję dla tradycyjnych odpowiedników? O tym rozmawiamy w najnowszym odcinku podcastu z Katarzyną Wabik z Kraken.Temat tokenizowania mocno przyspiesza i po stablecoinach jest jednym z ważniejszych obszarów, w którym rynek kryptowalut widzi dla siebie perspektywy wzrostu. Widzą to także tradycyjne giełdy: Deutsche Börse podpisało współpracę z Kraken w zakresie tokenizowania instrumentów finansowych, a giełda w Nowym Jorku zapowiedziała plany budowy platformy, która umożliwi handel tego rodzaju instrumentami.Po co tokenizować akcje i inne instrumenty finansowe? Jak to działa w praktyce i dlaczego zyskuje coraz większą popularność? Na te pytania odpowiada Katarzyna Wabik, Head of Growth CEE w Kraken Digital Asset Exchange.O czym usłyszysz w podcaście:   01:25 Czym jest i jaką pozycję rynkową ma Kraken   04:30 Przenikanie się świata tradycyjnych i cyfrowych finansów   06:30 Po co tokenizować akcje?   09:00 Dla kogo są tokenizowane akcje?   12:30 Tokenizowane akcje vs. realne akcje   14:30 Tokenizowane akcje a dywidenda i uczestnictwo w WZA   16:00 Jakie akcje są przedmiotem tokenizacji?   20:00 Jakie jest zainteresowanie tokenizowanymi akcjami?   22:30 Tokenizowane instrumenty a upadek giełdy   25:00 Jakie instrumenty można jeszcze tokenizować?   29:00 Rola stablecoinów w rozwoju krypto   32:00 Świat tradycyjnych vs. cyfrowych aktywów   34:00 Czym dzisiaj żyje świat krypto?*Materiał Partnerski

In dieser Samstagsfolge von “Alles auf Aktien” reden wir mit unserem Lieblings-Krypto-Erklärer. Und wir reden mit ihm natürlich über das Ende des Bitcoin-Narrativs. Ist die Theorie vom digitalen Gold endgültig widerlegt oder gilt sie weiterhin? Unser Gast analysiert für uns die vergangenen Bitcoin-Monate, vom Melania-Moment, über den Crash am 10. Oktober, bis ins Jetzt. Dann präsentiert er 3 Szenarien für die Zukunft der digitalen Devise. Doch unser Erklärer geht noch weiter. Er verrät uns das 15-Prozent-Geheimnis der Hegdefonds-Legenden, die Rolle der Pot Shops, den großen Vorteil von Ethereum und den Sieger des Robinhood-Coinbase-Duells. Ein Gespräch mit Ha Duong.

What happens when all the world's money moves on chain? That's not a hypothetical for Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs, it's the company's mission. In this episode, Marc explains how Polygon is evolving from its roots as an Ethereum layer two into the blockchain for global payments, detailing two recent acquisitions that form the foundation of what he calls the "open money stack" - a single API combining on-ramps, wallets, and cross-chain interoperability.With over $2.5 trillion in transaction volume already processed and partnerships with Revolut, Stripe, Nubank, and dozens of fintechs across Latin America, Africa, and Asia, Marc makes the case that stablecoins are just the beginning. He shares why tokenized bank deposits will be the real game-changer, how banks are already positioning to profit from this shift, and why in 10 years he believes every dollar, whether paying a merchant down the street or sending a remittance across the globe, will move on a blockchain without anyone even thinking about it.In this podcast you will learn:How Marc first got interested in blockchain and crypto technology.Why he decided to make the move to Polygon Labs.Why Polygon decided to focus on payments.All the components you need to move money around the world on blockchain.The idea behind the open money stack.How Polygon is working with the likes of Revolut and Stripe.How they differentiate themselves from the other payments blockchains.What they are doing in AML and sanctions policy.The scale that Polygon is at today when it comes to transaction volume.What will the financial system look like when more money stays on chain.The two things banks ask in their initial conversations with Polygon.How money will transform in the next 10 years and why most people will not notice.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

Robinhood is opening the testnet for its Arbitrum-based Ethereum Layer 2. In this episode, we sit down with the fintech's head of crypto, Johann Kerbrat, to discuss the strategic move to build on Ethereum. He believes institutions can get the privacy and compliance guarantees they need on public chains like Ethereum, so building on private chains doesn't make sense as they are just a “fancy database.” Kerbrat says he sees a future where most financial infrastructure and assets transact on public blockchains. Topics:Robinhood Layer 2 LaunchTokenized Stocks & Real-World AssetsThe "Adapt or Die" moment for BanksSelf-Custody vs. Platform Safety

MegaETH mainnet is live, kicking off a new frontier for Ethereum scaling: ultra-low latency, massive throughput, and an execution environment built to unlock apps that can't exist on L1. Lei Yang & Namik break down why Vitalik's latest L2 framing validates “barbell” scaling, what users actually inherit from Ethereum (censorship resistance, exit guarantees, and fraud-proof security assumptions), and why stages + governance are harder than they look.  Plus: the mainnet stress test (11.4B tx in 7 days, 55k peak TPS), the economics shift toward stablecoin yield with USDM, proximity markets for MEV, and MegaETH's aggressive app-incubation strategy. ------

Thank you to our sponsors! Fuse: The Energy Network MultiChain Advisors Vitalik Buterin just dropped a bombshell: the L2 vision no longer makes sense. Meanwhile, AI coding agents are going parabolic. In this monster episode of Uneasy Money, Ethereum Foundation Head of Developer Growth Austin Griffith and Optimism co-founder Karl Floersch join hosts Kain Warwick and Taylor Monahan to unpack the reasoning behind Vitalik's remarks and debate whether Ethereum needs L2s to pull institutions. They also take a deep dive into the OpenClaw and Moltbook craze and Austin shares how he has different agents running on different machines, including one that texts his wife good morning everyday. Is “AI the new UI?” Hosts: Kain Warwick, Founder of Infinex and Synthetix Taylor Monahan, Security Expert, Metamask Guests: Austin Griffith, AI Lead at Ethereum Foundation Karl Floersh, CTO of OP Labs Links: Vitalik Rethinks Ethereum's L2 Playbook, Calls for Shift Toward Native Rollups How the x402 Standard Is Enabling AI Agents to Pay Each Other Learn more about your ad choices.

A single Vitalik tweet just snapped Ethereum's scaling narrative into focus: the rollup-centric roadmap is over, and a new path is here. Ryan and David break down what Vitalik actually said (and what he didn't), why stage 2 plus rollup interop proved far slower than anyone hoped, and why L1 scaling, powered by ZK, may be Ethereum's real reset button in 2026. Along the way, they unpack the quiet death of the “L2s are Ethereum” meme, the community's whiplash reaction, and what differentiated “gen 2” L2s must do to earn their place in the alliance. ---

Crypto enters a full-blown pain market as Bitcoin, ETH, tech stocks, and even gold sell off together. Ryan and David break down why crowded trades are unwinding across markets, what the Warsh Fed chair pick means for rates and risk assets, and whether crypto has become uniquely fragile in this cycle. They dig into Vitalik's L2 pivot and what it signals about Ethereum's next era, unpack massive institutional paper losses at Strategy, BitMine, and Galaxy, and analyze Polymarket odds on where Bitcoin goes next. Plus: OGs selling to ETF buyers, the Clarity Act standoff between banks and crypto, and how to survive the psychology of a real bear market. ---
