Crypto's next chapter isn't a shinier coin—it's invisible rails. In this episode, we sit down with Aryan Sheikhalian, Head of Research at CMT Digital, to unpack the shift from “crypto as an asset” to crypto as infrastructure: 24/7 markets, instant clearing and settlement, and new structured products that couldn't exist before. We talk about tokenized equities (wrappers vs. native tokenization and why dividends/governance matter), how identity layers and ZK proofs unlock mainstream distribution through banks and fintechs, and where regulation is pushing builders toward partnerships and licensed rails.Chapters00:00 Hook: crypto as infrastructure, not asset01:15 Guest intro and research focus02:06 Incentives, psychology, and mechanism design04:03 ICO lessons, maturity, and red flags07:09 CMT Digital's thesis and “strictly better”10:27 Tokenized equities drivers and demand13:40 Wrappers vs native: dividends, governance16:06 Fintech rails, velocity, cost efficiency18:26 Banks, distribution, and competitive incentives20:29 New assets: GPUs, data, energy tokens23:23 Identity layers and ZK proofs for scale25:55 State of crypto VC and fund trends27:51 Overlooked sectors: DePIN and decentralized data31:26 Prediction markets and resolution design34:18 Regulation, licenses, and partnerships39:45 Market outlook: TVL, stables, volatility42:45 Founder advice: conviction and user focus

In 2010, Ninja Theory released Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, a post-apocalyptic reimagining of the Chinese epic Journey to the West. We trace Tameem Antoniades' turbulent path from Kung Fu Chaos and Heavenly Sword to founding Ninja Theory and building Enslaved on a shoestring budget. The episode highlights the extraordinary creative lineup—Andy Serkis shaping Monkey, Alex Garland embedding with the team as co-designer, and Nitin Sawhney composing its score. Our conversation explores its lush environments, groundbreaking performance capture, and the dynamic between Monkey and Trip that critics compared to ICO and Prince of Persia. While sales fell short of expectations, expansions like Pigsy's Perfect 10 and cult acclaim cemented its legacy. Join us as we climb, fight, and journey west through Enslaved on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.Read transcript

Wrapping up this season of Data Bytes, we examine the expanded powers given to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and what this means for data protection investigations now and in the future. Host Rhiannon Webster is joined by Ashurst colleagues Anthony Asindi and Tom Brookes to zoom in on an area of the Data (Use And Access) Act that some have overlooked – the changes to the investigatory powers of the UK’s data protection regulator. The ICO (soon to be rebadged as The Information Commission) deals with a huge volume of complaints and data breach reports annually. Rhiannon, Anthony and Tom pinpoint three notable new powers that the ICO will soon have: to compel the production of documents, to require controllers or processors to provide a report on a specified matter, and to compel individuals to attend interviews and answer questions. As well as outlining which powers are effective now and when the other powers are likely to come into force, the podcast covers restrictions on the powers including privilege and self-incrimination – with a notable exception being where individuals may be required to answer potentially self-incriminating questions if they relate to Data Protection Act breaches. Anthony notes that refusing to cooperate could become "an aggravating factor" leading to higher fines for the controller or processor. Tom identifies the mandatory report power as a potential "game changer," shifting the investigative burden and costs to organisations while potentially allowing the ICO to investigate more cases. Anthony offers some illuminating comparisons with the FCA’s powers under the Financial Services and Markets Act (while cautioning that we don’t know certain that the ICO will follow a similar approach). And Tom adds that the ICO should soon provide guidance on its new powers and the circumstances where those might be applied.

Neste episódio, entrevistamos o advogado especialista em direito digital e trabalhista Eugênio Corassa para discutir vigilância e monitoramento no trabalho e proteção de dados. O ponto de partida da conversa foi a demissão de cerca de mil funcionários pelo Itaú sob a justificativa de baixo desempenho no trabalho remoto. O Itaú usou um software de monitoramento para identificar como os profissionais estavam se comportando durante o tempo de trabalho e argumentou que os demitidos tinham comportamento incompatível com sua carga horária. No entanto, os detalhes desse caso ainda são nebulosos e várias pessoas envolvidas afirmam que o banco não havia sido transparente quanto ao uso desse software assim e que as métricas de monitoramento não estão relacionadas a um bom desempenho profissional.Na entrevista, Eugênio falou sobre a relação entre regras trabalhistas e LGPD e explicou como a transparência é fundamental em casos como este.***Para se aprofundar na discussão sobre monitoramento no ambiente de trabalho, Eugênio Corassa recomendou um guia da ICO, o órgão do Reino Unido de proteção de dados. Acesse aqui (em inglês).  ***Confira a aula aberta da Data Privacy Brasil com Eugênio Corassa sobre uso de ferramentas de IA em processos de contração.

In this episode with Stas Levitan, AI Governance Expert & Co-founder @ DeepKeep we dive deep into the wild west of AI security, shadow AI, and the real risks lurking behind your favourite GenAI tools. Stas shares hard-hitting insights on why most companies are blind to their AI usage, and how governance isn't just about tick-box compliance — it's about survival.Here's what we covered:AI Risk Starts Way Before You Deploy It Most think risk begins at runtime. Nope. It starts the moment you grab that model from a repo — and trust me, most are not as “safe” as they look.Shadow AI Is Everywhere Employees are quietly using ChatGPT, Gemini, and open-source models — often with good intentions, but zero oversight. Big risk, bigger blind spot.Guardrails Aren't Optional Anymore Enterprise AI needs serious guardrails — not just generic APIs. Think AI-native tools that track, monitor, and enforce behaviour in real time.LLMs Don't Forget… Ever Feed your chatbot personal data, and you might just see it pop up later — possibly in someone else's output. AI Security ≠ Traditional SecurityFirewalls won't save you here. This is about controlling model behaviour, not just access and networks. Totally different mindset needed.Big AI Providers = Not Enterprise-Ready The default tools don't cut it. The second you fine-tune a model or use it with your data — you own the risk.EU AI Act Isn't Just Hype — It's Happening  Risk assessments, monitoring, documentation — this isn't optional for high-risk sectors. And no, you probably aren't ready yet.Step One: Get Visibility You can't protect what you can't see. Start by discovering what AI is actually being used in your org — you might be shocked. It's a frank and eye-opening conversation that every CIO, CISO, and compliance lead should hear. Tune in — and if you're using GenAI without a plan, maybe… stop.Stas Levitan  can be contacted here •DeepKeep official website: https://www.deepkeep.ai•Stas Levitan LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/stas-levitanThe latest in Data Protection and Privacy Podcast by David ClarkeFollow me on Twitter @1davidclarke 98.6k FollowersJoin Linkedin GDPR Group 30,475 Others Members for FREE CoAuthor of an ICO certified GDPR scheme

Base just crossed its own Rubicon. After months of saying “no token,” Jesse Pollak now says Base must decentralize and is “exploring” a token. What changed?  On this episode, Proof of Play's ICO Beast and former Coinbase Ventures investor Ryan Yi unpack why “exploring” is the operative word, how policy (the Clarity Act) could shape the rollout, and what a points-driven airdrop might look like.  We dig into governance realism (what Coinbase will and won't give up), token utility and valuation math, and how a Base↔Solana bridge could ignite a fight for DeFi liquidity while Solana keeps winning Gen-Z consumers.

TCW Podcast Episode 242- Fumito Ueda   Fumito Ueda entered game design through art rather than a love of traditional play. Influenced by titles like Flashback and Another World, he sought to tell stories with minimal interfaces and expansive environments rich in mood. After early work on D and Enemy Zero, Sony gave him a trial period that led to ICO, a game shaped by surreal landscapes inspired by Giorgio de Chirico and a hand-holding mechanic to convey emotional connection. ICO struggled in Japan but became a critical hit abroad, influencing games from Uncharted 3, The Last of Us, Dark Souls, and Journey. Ueda expanded his ideas in Shadow of the Colossus, a meditation on cruelty and consequence that inspired epic boss battles in other franchises such as God of War. His long-delayed The Last Guardian explored companionship through a giant creature, though with mixed reception. Now independent, Ueda continues to shape gaming with projects yet to be revealed.   Punch Out (Arcade): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T8hoeVpdV0 Space Harrier (Arcade): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEWGnj12GO4 The Legend of Zelda (Famicom Disc System): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsmXV06PwnM Smash Ping Pong (Famicom): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd5QSxyG3Z0 Flashback (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNTnRM77XuE Another World (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLC_Un9lNPw D's Diner - Director's Cut (3DO): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7G1NuWciEE Enemy Zero (SEGA Saturn): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmkfgDNihZ0 PaRappa the Rapper (PSX): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97k0Dy8JweM Prince of Persia (Game Boy): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thAmYGc37pA Virtua Fighter (Arcade): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7HQ2vspMHA Hello Pac-Man (SNES): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5IOwrutZmM Lemmings (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuiyFXMjGxA Chuck Jones - The Evolution of an Artist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHpXle4NqWI ICO Leap of Faith (PS3): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WWr_7CoIzY Giorgio de Chirico: https://www.wikiart.org/en/giorgio-de-chirico/all-works ICO cover - Japan: https://www.mobygames.com/game/5158/ico/cover/group-79093/cover-214724/ Uncharted 3 (PS5): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZFYTHMsLUc Zelda Twilight Princess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJPhioaehIY Journey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkL94nKSd2M FEZ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm9XRDlNDK4 The Last of Us (PS3): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJPKTCpL1ws Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34s9b6sLMjk Dark Souls (PS3): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdpdkd2eNmE ICO (PS2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIzZkGP3SUk Grand Theft Auto 3 (PS2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZMyBAjQ-QE Shadow of the Colossus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiB8MEJN-QU God of War 2 (PS2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pgks8w-HK8 The Last Guardian (PS4): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6ssIkVxg_k   New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

Pump.fun just announced plans to raise $1 billion at a $4 billion valuation through an upcoming ICO—news that's sent ripples through the crypto world. Is this another massive value extraction scheme, or a pivotal growth moment for crypto's next breakout unicorn? In this episode, we unpack our initial skepticism and how our perspective has shifted. We explore why Pump.fun may actually be catalyzing a broader inflection point in on-chain market design, bringing new energy and viability for creators and users alike. We break down how its model resembles a modern form of market making—one with the potential to revive crypto activity across all levels, in a way we haven't seen since the 2021 bull run. We also touch on breaking news from Yuga Labs, which is dissolving the Ape DAO—the governing body behind Bored Ape IP, ApeChain, and Otherside. Is this the final nail in the coffin for DAOs as a sustainable model for web3 governance? Tune in for our thoughts.

Rencontrez Vadim Asadov, candidat du Parti libertarien aux élections législatives partielles dans la 2ᵉ circonscription de Paris.Ensemble, nous avons vulgarisé les ambitions du mouvement libertarien et expliqué la place qu'occupent Bitcoin et les cryptomonnaies dans leur vision politique.Rediffusion de l'émission du 9 septembre 2025.

Yirmibir Bitcoin Podcast'in "Bitcoin ve İslam" serisinin "Bitcoin Only" serisinin 3. bölümüne hoş geldiniz [Başlangıç talimatı].Bu bölümde, Bitcoin dışındaki kripto para birimlerinin karşı karşıya olduğu etik sorunlara odaklanıyoruz. Genellikle göz ardı edilen bu problemler, yeni bir kripto projenin başlangıcında paraların nasıl dağıtıldığı ve kurucuların para politikası üzerindeki kontrolü etrafında yoğunlaşıyor. Hedef riba sorununu çözmekse, az sayıda kişiyi başkaları aleyhine haksız yere zenginleştiren bir alternatif yaratmak çelişkili olacaktır.Birçok kripto projesi, Bitcoin'in sınırlamalarını aşma iddiasıyla bir kurucu ekibiyle başlıyor. "Airdrop"lar ve "tokenomik"ler gibi dağıtım stratejileriyle, kuruculara, geliştiricilere ve erken yatırımcılara çok sayıda coin tahsis edilir. Geleneksel finanstan esinlenen İlk Coin Arzları (ICO'lar), şirketlerin dijital token satarak fon toplamasını sağlar. Ancak ICO'lar, yatırımcılara anlamlı güvenceler sunmadan yüksek riskli token'lar satarak düzenleyici boşlukları sömürür. Michael Flaxman'ın belirttiği gibi, ICO'larda likidasyon tercihleri veya uzun vadeli hak ediş programları gibi standart yatırımcı korumaları yoktur. Bu yapı, projenin terk edilmesiyle perakende yatırımcıları değersiz token'larla bırakan ahlaki tehlikeler yaratır ve dolandırıcıları cezbeder.Son yıllarda "meme coin"ler gibi daha nihilizm içeren trendler ortaya çıktı. Bu coin'ler, kullanım değeri iddiasında bulunmaz; tamamen spekülasyon amaçlıdır ve erken yatırımcılar tarafından "pompalandıktan" sonra şüphelenmeyen perakende yatırımcılara "dump" edilir. Sam Callahan, "premine" adı verilen yöntemle içeriden kişilerin sıfır maliyetle aldıkları coin'leri, projenin popülerleşmesiyle perakende yatırımcılara sattığını açıklar. Bu yapay dağıtım süreçleri, içeriden kişilere başkaları aleyhine fayda sağlayacak şekilde tasarlanmıştır, bu da tartışmasız bir şekilde etik dışıdır.Bitcoin, bu etik sorunların aksine konumlanmıştır. Genesis'inde ne bir "premine" ne de bir ICO vardı. Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin'i herkes gibi madencilik yaparak elde etti ve başkalarının katılımını bekledi. Bitcoin, kurumsal değil, organik olarak ortaya çıktı.Diğer kripto paraların aksine, Bitcoin'in bir lideri yoktur. Satoshi, protokolü oluşturduktan sonra projenin gerçekten tarafsız olmasını sağlamak için ayrıldı. Andrew Bailey ve Craig Warmke'nin belirttiği gibi, bu liderliksiz durum, Bitcoin'i daha sağlam ve dayanıklı kılar; merkezi bir bankası veya CEO'su yoktur.Ayrıca, diğer kripto para birimlerindeki protokoldaki değişiklikler genellikle çoğunluk oyuyla veya merkezi otoritelerin kararlarıyla zorla uygulanırken (örneğin Ethereum DAO hack'i ve ETH arz politikasındaki değişiklikler), Bitcoin etik olarak kullanıcılara muhalefet etme özgürlüğü tanır. SegWit veya Taproot gibi yükseltmeler geriye dönük uyumludur, yani kullanıcılar isterlerse kabul etmeyebilirler ve yine de fikir birliğine katılabilirler. Pete Rizzo'nun vurguladığı gibi, Bitcoin'de kullanıcılar para haklarını pazarın takdirine bırakmak zorunda kalmadan istenmeyen özelliklere itiraz edebilirler.Bazı İslami finans uygulayıcılarının Bitcoin'in ilk dağıtımının haksız olduğu iddialarına rağmen, Bitcoin'in lansmanı mümkün olduğunca adil ve şeffaftı. İslam, zenginliğin mutlak eşit dağılımını değil, adil dağılımını hedefler.Sonuç olarak, diğer kripto para projeleri kurucu etkileri, token dağıtım modelleri ve yönetim uygulamaları nedeniyle etik sorunlarla doluyken, Bitcoin adil başlangıcı, liderliksiz gelişimi ve kullanıcı özerkliğine saygısıyla öne çıkıyor. Bitcoin, bu etik tuzaklardan uzaktır ve İslami ilkelere uygun, gerçekten etik para temsil etmektedir.Kaynak

Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. In this episode, the crew breaks down the return of the ICO — but with a twist. Pump.fun's $500 million token sale sells out in 12 minutes, sparking a heated debate about forward markets, new market structure design, and whether we've entered a smarter, more institutionalized fundraising era—or just rebranded 2017 chaos. Hyperliquid becomes the surprise king of pre-launch liquidity, exchanges buckle under demand, and a new class of crypto treasury vehicles raises eyebrows (and capital). Meanwhile, Trump declares “Crypto Week” as Congress moves forward with the most sweeping legislation the industry's seen in years. Is crypto finally growing up—or just getting better at dumping on retail? The gang dissects the narratives, the numbers, and the fallout.

On Tuesday, a pseudonymous X account claimed that Pump.fun, Solana's breakout memecoin launchpad, would raise $1 billion via an ICO at a $4 billion valuation. The potential deal? Multiple CEX listings, a 10% community airdrop, and maybe even a launch by the end of the month. The community reaction? Not great. In this episode, Syncracy Capital's Ryan Watkins joins to break down the backlash, whether the raise makes sense, and what this kind of fundraising says about the current state of crypto. He discusses: Whether Pump needs $1 billion and what they'd even do with it Why some people are furious, even as Pump prints revenue If this is bullish or bearish for Solana Why an airdrop was not pursued Whether the $4 billion valuation makes sense Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Ledn FalconX Human Rights Foundation Ryan Watkins, Co-founder of Syncracy Capital Unchained: Pump.fun Mulls $1B Token Sale Nextfckingthing's tweet breaking the news  Ansem's tweet on “pump fun raising $1B at $4B after Trumpcoin launch is like the second plane hitting the towers” Ansem's poll Ryan's tweet on “Pump anger”  Solojay tweet on Pump's top 25 wallets Mosi's tweet on why “Pump's ICO seems like an asymmetric bet (skewed to the downside)” Timestamps:
