Alejandro Gutierrez joins me once again to dive into some of the biggest conversations in crypto right now, including:The fallout from Operation Chokepoint 2.0 and the debanking of crypto startups—what it means for the industry and how regulatory shifts in the U.S. and Europe could reshape the future of digital assets.Why Solana is having its moment—how Solana's DEX volume is outpacing Ethereum's and what this means for the long-term viability of the network.The rise of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and why Uniswap launching its own Layer 2, Unichain, could be a game changer.Institutionalization of crypto—how Solana ETFs and BitGo's rumored IPO are bringing more traditional finance players into the space.The evolving regulatory landscape—what the SEC's new stance on crypto, led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, could mean for the industry's future.Plus, we share the details on an exciting new event—Techstars and CryptoMondays Ireland are teaming up for a first-of-its-kind gathering in Dublin on March 10th (register here).Alejandro Gutierrez is a leading figure in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space and an early adopter of real-world asset tokenization. Alejandro has contributed to the growth of DeFi through his work with MakerDAO, Tokeny, Securitize, and Centrifuge, as well as his co-founding of Consolfreight, Defactor, and ETH Dublin.EPISODE LINKS:Operation Chokepoint 2.0 / DebankingCoinbase - the facts are the facts FDIC (X, 6-Feb-25)Operation Chokepoint 2.0 - Nic Carter, Castle Island Ventures (Pirate Wires, 8-Feb-23) Marc Andreessen on Joe Rogan (Joe Rogan Experience, 27-Nov-24)Fed's Powell Says He's Also Worried About Debanking (Coindesk, 11-Feb-25)Graham Rodford from Archax on the UK situation (Linkedin, recently)New Era in the SEC with CryptoThe Journey Begins - SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce (SEC, 4-Feb-25)Other TopicsSolana DEX Volume Tops $60M as It Looks to Extend 4-Month Winning Streak Over Ethereum (Coindesk, 11-Feb-25)BitGo Mulling IPO This Year (Coindesk, 11-Feb-25)Uniswap Labs Officially Launches Layer-2 ‘Unichain' (Coindesk, 10-Feb-25)Keywords:  #OperationChokepoint2 #debanking #SolanaDEXvolume #UniswapLayer2 #Cryptoregulation2025 #DeFI #Institutionalcryptoadoption #SolanaETFs #seccryptopolicyLeave a review and subscribe onApple PodcastsSpotifyMoneyNeverSleeps (website)Follow our guest co-host Alejandro Gutierrez:X(Twitter):  https://twitter.com/A_gutierroLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alejandro-gutierrez-98979b43/Email us: info@norioventures.comFollow us on X(Twitter):Pete Townsend: https://twitter.com/petetownsendnvMoneyNeverSleeps: https://twitter.com/MNSshowFollow us on LinkedIn:Pete Townsend: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pete-townsend-1b18301a/MoneyNeverSleeps: https://www.linkedin.com/company/28661903/MoneyNeverSleeps newsletter: https://moneyneversleeps.substack.com/

Despite the ups and downs of the Ethereum ecosystem, two of its most influential builders—Aave's Stani Kulechov and Sky's Rune Christensen—remain bullish. In this episode, they discuss whether we're witnessing a DeFi renaissance, the challenges of building on Ethereum vs. Solana, and why DeFi adoption isn't growing as fast as some expected. They debate stablecoins, whether Solana is truly innovating, and how AI could transform DeFi by automating governance and risk management. They also respond to some hot takes—including whether Aave is falling behind Solana-based Kamino, and why Sky deployed its USDS stablecoin on Solana despite Rune's long-standing Ethereum advocacy. Show highlights:  02:33 Whether Sky and Aave are experiencing a “DeFi renaissance” 11:49 How Stani and Rune are trying to appeal to a simpler audience 23:00 Whether developers overlook how easy it is to build DeFi on Ethereum 27:40 Why Stani believes there is not a lot of innovation in Solana 32:17 What would need to happen for Aave to be in Solana 33:27 Why Sky deployed USDS on Solana 40:30 Whether the Ethereum ecosystem should be worried about users going to other chains 49:19 Why Rune praises Solana's culture 51:38 How USDS's growth on Base happens organically, contrary to Solana 59:35 Why they believe that the combination of AI and DeFi will be so powerful Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsors!

Is your stablecoin earning you money? Probably not. While most stablecoins sit idle, there's a revolution happening in DeFi. We're talking 9.5% yield on USD-backed stablecoins, and it's not some risky algo-stable magic. This is real yield, powered by Spark Protocol and the MakerDAO ecosystem. In today's episode of The Milk Road Show, Sam McPherson, CEO of Phoenix Labs, joins us to uncover the secrets behind sustainable, high-yield stablecoins, the future of multichain stablecoins, and the explosive growth of Spark Protocol's revenue. ~~~~~ ⁠⁠

In episode 179, we're excited to welcome Jennifer Senhaji, Head of Growth at Chronicle, to discuss the importance of Oracles in Web3's future. We discussed the challenges facing oracles today, how Chronicle is advancing the data infrastructure needed for a truly decentralized world, and some of the incredible social impact use cases that oracles have supported. Jenn will also share insights on the role of zero-knowledge proofs in data privacy, Chronicle's partnership with MakerDAO securing $20B in value, and her vision for the future of oracles in a decentralized world.--Key Takeaways--Oracles are a critical piece of plumbing behind the Web3 ecosystem, playing an essential role in building the data infrastructure bridging the traditional and onchain worlds.As an essential piece of Web3 infrastructure, Oracles must be built resiliently. If Oracles were to fail, it would have a massive, cascading effect on the DeFi and Web3 ecosystems, resulting in liquidations, financial loss, and possible collapse of vital DeFi projects.Given the key role of Oracles, it is important that they are decentralized to help bolster their security.Oracles can bring a high degree of transparency to financial institutions that have traditionally been opaque. They allow for third party neutral attestations, as opposed to having to rely on the single source of truth of the institution.--Full shownotes with links available at--https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruism-podcast-episode-179-chronicle-how-oracles-are-paving-the-way-to-a-truly-decentralized-worldThank you to PIPE gDAO for sponsoring the Crypto Altruism podcast!PIPE gDAO is leveraging blockchain for their University Real World Asset IP Launchpad that helps bring groundbreaking ideas from lab to market.

In this episode of the DeFi Download, Piers Ridyard interviews Chris Bradbury, CEO of SummerFi. They discuss Chris's journey from MakerDAO to SummerFi, and the development of user-friendly financial tools and innovative features aimed at making DeFi more accessible to a wider audience by automating complex financial strategies.SummarySummerFi curates the best dApps in DeFi to provide the simplest and easiest way to borrow and earn crypto. SummerFi currently manages over $4.5 billion in crypto assets across various DeFi protocols, and in the last 30 days, it has completed $663 million in lend/borrow volume and automated over $275 million in loan positions.Chris talks about his transition from MakerDAO's product manager to CEO of Oasis.app, which rebranded as SummerFi and focuses on trusted, curated DeFi protocols. Chris discusses SummerFi's recent advancements and strategic vision, he elaborates on how SummerFi plans to simplify DeFi for a broader audience, and also highlights their goal of integrating DeFi with traditional financial systems to make these advanced tools accessible to everyday users, without requiring them to have deep technical knowledge or actively manage their assets.Key takeawaysSummerFi integrates key DeFi protocols such as Maker, Aave, Morpho, and Ajna, with a focus on security and usability. It offers features like Multiply, which allows users to leverage assets in a single transaction, enhancing efficiency and safety.SummerFi's automations, such as stop loss, are designed to protect users by managing risky positions and reducing potential losses during market volatility. Automations are non-custodial smart contracts that trigger actions based on predefined conditions, such as closing a position when the loan-to-value ratio exceeds a set threshold. While automations mitigate risks, they are not risk-free and cannot guarantee optimal prices due to potential market slippage, oracle inaccuracies, or network congestion.SummerFi's launch of the $RAYS point system aims to incentivize user engagement and reward active management, paving the way toward broader adoption.SummerFi plans to expand and achieve mainstream adoption by also developing a new Summer Earn protocol that simplifies DeFi participation, offering users automatic yield optimization similar to traditional wealth management products.Chapters01:27 — Chris's background and how he got into crypto02:27 — Insights gained from MakerDAO and Dai07:16 — Why was Oasis created & how it became SummerFi14:23 — Protocols SummerFi currently supports15:39 — The split of crypto assets under SummerFi18:24 — Automations addressing volatility in leveraged products22:21 — What is an automation and why is it powerful25:21 — What stop-loss is for29:23 — SummerFi's growth plans and the point-based system32:07 — What does the product that 100 million people can use look like?35:09 — What makes SummerFi Earn more viable than Yearn39:58 — Find out more about SummerFiFurther resourcesWebsite: summer.fi Twitter: @summerfinance_ Discord: discord.com/invite/summerfi
