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.

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.

From student loan anxiety to financial liberation through Bitcoin, Why digital assets are the answer for Africans priced out of traditional wealth - and the brutal truth about the one million dollar Bitcoin prediction in the next 10 years, the 2016 discovery that became the generational wealth solution for people who thought they were too late, the 70% Bitcoin, 20% Ethereum, 10% diversification portfolio that protects savings from losing value every single year in cash, and why a pharmacist who was earning six figures walked away from clinical pharmacy when his director turned against him overnight to focus 12 hours a day on a side business that was only making $20,000 annually - making his wife cry not because she was against entrepreneurship but because there's no guaranteed deposit in your bank account when you leap into the unknown, while the real journey started when a close friend called about his sister's crippling anxiety over student loans and that conversation revealed how many people are trapped in financial captivity without realizing the systems designed to keep them there, leading to the mission of setting people free through financial education and exposure to digital asset classes that appreciate over time instead of losing value like cash sitting in savings accounts. In this raw episode of Konnected Minds, host Derrick Abaitey sits down with Dr. Hans - the investing tutor - who dismantles the dangerous "keep your money in cash" mentality keeping Africans locked out of the fastest-growing wealth-building opportunities in human history, revealing the exact moment when his mother wanted him to be a doctor because he cared about people as a little boy who would stop playing to attend to someone who got hurt, when he chose pharmacy instead because pharmacists are accessible healthcare professionals you don't need appointments to see and can walk into any pharmacy for instant access to knowledge, when he landed a six-figure clinical pharmacist role while running investing tutor part-time earning only $20,000 annually and believed that was the best of both worlds, when his director who hired him suddenly turned against him overnight and was eager to get him removed from that position, when the hospital offered him a transfer to escape the toxic relationship but he came home and told his wife he was going to work on the business full-time instead, when a tear dropped down her face not because she was against the decision but because entrepreneurship offers no guaranteed future and no guaranteed deposits - you have to provide value to the world and no one knows how long it takes to see results, when a close friend called about his sister's deep fear and anxiety over student loans and that phone call became the catalyst for financial liberation work, when he told her student loans are actually the best debt to have in America and people didn't believe him in 2016-2019 until COVID hit and student loan payments were paused for three years while mortgages, credit cards, and car bills still had to be paid, when he got on the phone with the sister who was so scared she didn't think she could get married or buy a house and walked her through calling the loan servicer to get on a payment plan where she only pays 10% of her income and after 10 years it's forgiven, when he realized people are in financial captivity and don't even know it, when he started asking himself what opportunity exists for individuals who feel priced out of traditional wealth-building and waited all his life diligently searching for the answer until 2016 when he stumbled upon it: our people need exposure to digital assets because if they keep their money saved in cash it loses value every single year, and the question "are we too late to invest in Bitcoin" gets answered with the simple truth - we are not late, we are right on time. This isn't motivational wealth-building talk from Instagram financial gurus - it's a systematic breakdown of why Moses led people out of captivity and financial education does the same thing for people trapped in systems designed to keep them broke, why student loans are the best debt in America because they offer income-based repayment plans and forgiveness after 10 years while every other debt had to be paid even during COVID, Africans especially need exposure to digital asset classes because traditional banking and savings systems are designed to extract value not build wealth, and why the simple answer to "am I too late to invest in Bitcoin" is no - because the journey to one million dollars per Bitcoin is just beginning and every person who gets exposure now positions themselves for the generational wealth transfer that's coming over the next decade. Guest: Dr. Hans (The Investing Tutor) Host: Derrick Abaitey

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. ---

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. ---

Crypto markets are under severe pressure, with Bitcoin sliding into one of the most oversold conditions in its history and Ethereum following closely behind. In this episode of Bits + Bips, Steve Ehrlich sits down with Fairlead Strategies founder Katie Stockton to walk through what the charts are actually signaling amid the selloff. They discuss why oversold does not automatically mean a bottom, how technicians look for downside exhaustion, and what needs to change before confidence returns for Bitcoin and ETH.

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. Along the way: prompt-injection risks, why agents read calldata like it's their native language, and why it may be the best time in history to be a solo builder—even as it gets harder to be a junior dev. ---
