Brian from Santiment joined me to review the crypto market metrics for Bitcoin, XRP, Ethereum, and Uniswap.
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
Crypto has become increasingly integrated into the financial system, from the use of stablecoins for payments, to the trading of tokenized equities on blockchains, to the adoption of crypto holdings by corporate treasuries. We explore how PNC Bank, one of the first movers in this space, has been expanding access to crypto and the challenges it has had to overcome.Our guest for this episode is: Amanda Agati is the Chief Investment Officer for PNC Asset Management – a firm with over $215 billion in total assets under management.

Vlad Novakovski is the Founder and CEO of Lighter, a high-performance ZK-based perps and spot exchange, built on Ethereum.A year ago, Lighter hadn't even launched. Today it's processing billions in daily volume, handling 500 million orders at a total cost of around $50K. Vlad's background spans STEM Olympiads, Harvard at 18, Citadel trading, and being an early advisor to Robinhood. Now he's building the infrastructure layer for when TradFi and DeFi merge.Vlad breaks down how Lighter achieves centralized exchange performance on Ethereum, what Robinhood's $68M investment means for tokenized equities, and the post-TGE reality for LIT: token down, volumes pulled back, but fundamentals unchanged.In this episode, we cover:+ Scaling Ethereum's top perps DEX+ Robinhood's $68M bet and tokenized equities+ LIT token utility and value capture+ Roadmap: options, prediction markets, fixed income------

In Episode 49 of Chain Reactions, we sit down with Mashal Waqar, Head of Marketing at Octant, and get a surprise drop-in from Griff Green, Founder of Giveth, to dig into how public goods funding actually works on Ethereum and why it matters more now than ever.We cover:– How Octant's model works: lock GLM, earn ETH, and choose to fund public goods or keep the yield– The surprisingly heated debate over what counts as a "public good" (yes, Pizza DAO came up)– Why blockchain unlocks speed, transparency, and community-driven capital allocation that traditional grants can't match– Griff's wild story of The DAO hack, how edge case funds turned into $200M+, and the launch of the new DAO Security Fund– The case for an Ethereum security coalition and why L2s need to fund shared infrastructureMashal shares her journey from running a media company with tens of millions of readers to burning out, discovering crypto through NFTs and Gitcoin, and co-authoring the first State of Web3 Grants report.We also get into real-world impact stories, from funding water filters in Gaza to helping doctors in Syria get paid through crypto, and why sustainable funding through DeFi yield beats depleting treasuries. Plus, a great riff on AI in public goods, the Zakat use case for crypto, and why execution beats everything.Timestamps00:00 – Intro and what's on everyone's timeline right now02:08 – Welcome to Chain Reactions and introducing Mashal from Octant03:54 – Mashal's journey from media founder to crypto marketer06:28 – How NFTs and Crypto Covens pulled her back into Web308:53 – Co-authoring the first State of Web3 Grants report and discovering Octant10:25 – What Octant is and how the GLM staking model works13:15 – What actually counts as a public good (and the Pizza DAO debate)16:49 – The $1M Ethereum creator round and lessons from vetting 1,000+ applications18:30 – DeFi vaults, sustainable funding, and the new StreamVote experiment23:30 – Why blockchain unlocks faster, more transparent funding than traditional grants26:34 – Remittances, financial access, and the personal case for crypto in emerging markets33:24 – Griff joins: founding Giveth, The DAO hack, and rescuing $200M+ in edge case funds39:21 – The multiplier effect and why matching makes it hard not to donate44:18 – Launching the DAO Security Fund inspired by Octant's model48:45 – AI experiments at Octant, building with AI, and the case for AI in public goods56:29 – Vitalik's L2 tax tweet, Ethereum sustainability, and the need for a security coalition1:00:00 – Rapid fire: execution beats everything and don't count your chickensShow Notes & Mentions
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.

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. ---

The tech rout Stateside looks set to continue into a third day with giants such as Oracle, Palantir and Salesforce all suffering double-digit losses for the week. The gloom is contagious in the crypto space with Bitcoin briefly plunging below the $61,000 mark. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer offers an apology to victims of Jeffrey Epstein for his appointment of Peter Mandelson as U.S. ambassador, despite being aware of his close ties to the late, convicted paedophile. We hear from BoE governor Andrew Bailey who says the upheaval seen in Westminster is being felt globally. And in e-commerce news, Amazon posts its first quarterly miss in more than three years and announces $200bn for capex spending for 2026. Shares plummeted 11 per cent in after-hours trading as a result. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

AI agents aren't “coming” to Ethereum—they're already here, spinning up on dedicated machines, clicking through wallets, deploying contracts, and even building apps for themselves. In this episode, Ryan and David sit down with Davide Crapis and Austin Griffith to map the emerging agent stack: ERC-8004 as a decentralized identity + reputation layer, x402 as payment rails for agent-to-agent commerce, and the real-world “Clawdbot” experiments that show what happens when an agent gets a wallet, a codebase, and a mandate.
