Coinbase just launched fully backed tokenized stocks on Base. Dromos Labs' Alex Cutler says they'll chip away at Interactive Brokers "77% profit margin." ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! Visit 1inch.com to swap tokenized securities, crypto and more. Simple. Secure. Self-custodial. Whatever asset you're buying - swap it at 1inch.com ======================================================== Coinbase this week launched tokenized versions of Apple, Nvidia, Meta, and Google stock on Base, moving past the prior synthetic tokenized-stock wrappers. The tokens are fully backed, held in trust, with ETF-style minting and redemption. Alex Cutler, CEO and Co-Founder of Dromos Labs, joins Laura Shin to unpack what real backing changes about tokenized stocks, and to argue decentralized exchanges can beat legacy brokers on cost and access. Cutler points to Aerodrome's roughly 25% share of AMM volume on the new assets, about $80 million traded and 5,000 wallets active within days, plus integrations across nine DeFi protocols including Aave, Morpho, and 1inch. He argues Interactive Brokers extracts a 77% profit margin as a middleman, and cites Nvidia's earnings, released after the bell, as proof onchain markets kept pricing news around the clock. They also cover the SEC innovation exemption and a roadmap of more assets, a Centrifuge migration to Aerodrome, and a launch on Circle's Arc chain.

Bijan Maleki and Kris Bullock are back to break down a potentially important shift in the macro setup for crypto. With the U.S. Treasury stepping up long-dated bond buybacks, long-end yields are falling and the dollar is weakening - conditions that could become increasingly supportive for bitcoin, gold, and other risk assets. Kris also digs into PUMP, which has recently overtaken Hyperliquid in 30-day protocol revenue, and explains why he's considering adding it to the Real Vision model portfolio. They compare the setup with HYPE, run through the usual crypto charts, and look for the strongest opportunities across the market.
Convidado: Felipe Maciel, sócio-fundador e diretor executivo da agência eixos, especializada nos setores de petróleo, gás e energia. No último sábado (15), a Petrobras anunciou a identificação de hidrocarbonetos no poço Morpho, localizado a 175 quilômetros da costa do Amapá e a cerca de 2.800 metros de profundidade. A confirmação de que há petróleo na Bacia da Foz do Amazonas, na chamada Margem Equatorial, gerou empolgação imediata – o presidente Lula chegou a chamar a descoberta de "passaporte para o futuro" do país. Mas ainda falta uma longa jornada até que seja confirmada a viabilidade econômica da exploração do petróleo na região. A presidente da estatal, Magda Chambriard, fala em até 7 anos para que o primeiro barril de petróleo seja extraído de águas submarinas. Há perspectivas econômicas otimistas, mas também há riscos ambientais e climáticos: a região é considerada de extrema sensibilidade ambiental e o investimento em combustível fóssil vai na contramão do compromisso do país com a transição energética. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery entrevista Felipe Maciel, jornalista que acompanha há duas décadas os setores de petróleo, gás e energia. Ele explica como irá se dar a possível exploração, analisa os riscos para a questão ambiental e compara o caso brasileiro com o da Guiana. Participa também do episódio Shigueo Watanabe Jr., especialista em energia do Observatório do Clima e pesquisador do Climainfo.
Robbie and Andy debate Morpho founder Paul Frambot's controversial take that token buybacks are "shooting yourself in the foot" versus the market's clear reward for programmatic buybacks from Hyperliquid, Lighter, and Pump. They break down Luca Prosperi's corporate finance framework for when buybacks make sense based on market conditions and return on equity, and make the case that too many projects launched tokens before they had a business generating enough revenue to justify one.The Rollup is where the leaders of digital assets and finance converge.

Durante o evento, Renan Santos afirmou: “Hoje somos uma nação derrotada, sem esperança e sem futuro”. Reportagem: Matheus Dias. O presidente do PSD, Gilberto Kassab, reduziu as chances de vitória de Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) nas eleições presidenciais de 2026. O presidente do PL, Valdemar Costa Neto, reagiu à declaração e afirmou que “Kassab é um petista roxo”. Reportagem: Rodrigo Viga. Os candidatos ao governo de São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos) e Fernando Haddad (PT), iniciaram suas campanhas neste domingo (16).

A Polícia Federal localizou em Assunção, capital do Paraguai, uma aeronave vinculada ao ex-banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro, no âmbito da Operação Compliance Zero. A aeronave é avaliada em R$ 120 milhões e retornou ao Brasil no fim da tarde deste domingo, com o apoio da adidância da PF no Paraguai e da Secretaria Nacional Antidrogas do país vizinho (SENAD/PY). O avião ficará estacionado no Aeroporto Internacional de Brasília, onde será submetido às medidas judiciais cabíveis. Reportagem: Marco Viana. Em documento enviado ao Ibama (Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis), a Petrobras afirmou que espera gastar ao todo pouco mais de R$ 3,3 bilhões para perfurar quatro poços na Foz do Amazonas. A manifestação afirma ainda que o valor inicial contempla os descontos dos custos com garantias e/ou apólices, prêmios de seguros pessoais e reais, licenciamento ambiental e planos, programas e projetos ambientais associados a cada perfuração. O valor foi repassado pela Petrobras ao Ibama depois que o órgão cobrou, durante parecer do fim de 2025, o pagamento de uma compensação ambiental de R$ 39,6 milhões para a exploração no poço pioneiro Morpho, onde foi encontrado petróleo na sexta-feira (14). Reportagem: Rodrigo Viga. O governo dos Estados Unidos discutiu a imposição de novas sanções contra o ministro do STF Alexandre de Moraes, segundo o jornal Financial Times. De acordo com fontes ouvidas pela publicação, a medida estaria relacionada à investigação sobre a origem de uma reportagem envolvendo o ministro Flávio Dino e aos mandados autorizados por Moraes. Em julho do ano passado, os EUA aplicaram sanções ao magistrado com base na Lei Magnitsky, posteriormente revogadas em dezembro. A punição havia sido motivada pela atuação de Moraes no julgamento que resultou na condenação do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro. Reportagem: Eliseu Caetano. Os 21 partidos políticos com representação no Congresso Nacional têm até esta quarta-feira (19) para prestar esclarecimentos ao ministro Flávio Dino, do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), sobre a eventual participação de dirigentes partidários na gestão de emendas parlamentares. O pedido busca esclarecer se houve participação de dirigentes das legendas na gestão dos recursos. Reportagem: Marco Viana. O presidente Lula (PT) e Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) aparecem tecnicamente empatados em um eventual segundo turno das eleições de 2026, segundo pesquisa Nexus realizada para o BTG Pactual. O petista tem 47% das intenções de voto, contra 44% de Flávio Bolsonaro, filho do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro. Como a margem de erro é de 2 pontos percentuais, a diferença entre os dois está dentro do intervalo estatístico da pesquisa. Ainda no confronto entre Lula e Flávio Bolsonaro, 8% dos entrevistados afirmaram que votariam em branco, nulo ou não escolheriam nenhum dos dois, enquanto 1% não soube ou não respondeu.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION In this episode, I sit down with Joao Lobo, founder of Kute Wallet , a Bitcoin-only, non-custodial wallet built for the next generation of crypto users. Joao walks me through his journey from discovering Bitcoin on 4chan forums in 2013, to building a PIX-integrated wallet for Brazil, to now targeting the European market with a product designed to feel as simple as a banking app. We dig into what makes Kute different , from Lightning-powered Polymarket integration to upcoming Hyperliquid stock exposure and Morpho lending features , and why he believes the future of finance is a seamless blend of non-custodial crypto and traditional banking. We also get into the brutal reality of customer acquisition costs, why MetaMask and Phantom overwhelm new users, and the advice Joao has for any founder building in this space right now.

Enjoyed our podcast? Shoot us a text and let us know—because great conversations never end at the last word!The fastest way to lose money in DeFi is to outsource understanding. We sit down with Anton, founder of Monarch, to unpack a deceptively simple question: when you deposit into a “yield” product, do you actually know what you're exposed to, and who can change it after you click deposit?We get concrete about Morpho lending markets, why vaults and curators can introduce hidden risk for suppliers, and how Monarch is built to offer permissionless direct access instead. Anton walks through Monarch's Etherlink integration (Tezos EVM), what the live markets look like today, and how users can supply, track flows, and manage positions with better visibility than a single APY number on a button.From there, we dig into the tools that matter when conditions turn chaotic: smart rebalance across markets with the same loan asset, auto vaults that let you set your own exposure caps, and the bigger idea of agents that help you monitor and de-risk instead of “manage your whole wallet.” We also get into the details most interfaces hide, especially oracle assumptions, hard-coded paths, backup oracle designs, and why RWA and private credit assets can be harder to evaluate when part of the story lives off-chain. Anton shares a monitoring tool he likes for RWAs and stablecoins and how that kind of data could plug into safer DeFi UX.If you care about DeFi risk management, Morpho, on-chain lending, yield optimization, and the real tradeoffs behind vaults, this is a practical listen. Subscribe, share this with a friend who farms yield, and leave a review with the one risk metric you wish every app showed.
Paul Frambot breaks down how Morpho's new Midnight protocol lets curators price risk directly, unlocking under-collateralized lending onchain for the first time, and explains why he believes DeFi is finally ready to capture a slice of the $200 trillion global credit market.

Cap's founders on shrinking their Stabledrop from $11M to $4M — plus a $23M hack traced toward North Korea, a BarnBridge governance exploit, and Kain's case to force weak L2s to become their own L1s. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsors!

Cape is America's privacy-first mobile carrier that rotates your SIM identity daily and blocks SIM swaps before they happen. Get 33% off your first six months at https://cape.co/unchained (use code: UNCHAINED). ======================================================== Cap committed to a roughly 11 million dollar Stabledrop in February, promising early users stablecoins instead of tokens. A delayed token sale raised less than hoped, and the reward shrank to about 4 million, forcing a fast rewrite of who got paid. Benjamin Sarquis Peillard, Founder and CEO of Cap, and Weso of Cap join Kain Warwick and Taylor Monahan to walk through a restructuring that made yield-token holders whole, left farmers without a windfall, and argue points programs are an uncapped marketing expense many projects cannot afford. The conversation widens into EthSystems, a new Ethereum Foundation spinout backed by Joe Lubin, SharpLink and BitMine, Jesse Pollak handing Base product leadership to Cobie, Robinhood Chain's Morpho integration, and whether Ethereum mainnet undercharges L2s. They revisit BarnBridge's SEC-era DAO structure, a dormant governance exploit, a MetaMask and Revoke.cash delegation tool, and a 23 million dollar Ostium hack Taylor traced toward North Korea. Kain closes with a Three Mile Island analogy: complex systems fail not from one mistake, but from small shortcuts compounding at once.

In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Seong Lee, Head of Product at Robinhood Crypto, breaks down Robinhood's major new crypto product announcements, including Robinhood Chain, stock tokens, Robinhood Earn, perpetual futures, and agentic trading. He explains how Robinhood Chain is being built as a permissionless L2 focused on tokenized real-world assets, giving eligible global users 24/7 on-chain exposure to U.S. stocks and ETFs. The conversation also covers how stock tokens are backed one-to-one by equities, how dividend benefits are handled through a multiplier mechanism, and why U.S. access still depends on regulatory clarity. Seong also explains Robinhood Earn, USDG, Morpho lending, crypto perpetual futures in Europe, agentic accounts, and Robinhood's broader push to become an all-in-one finance platform.Check Out Scribe: Scribe.how/CRYPTO101Check out Quince: https://quince.com/CRYPTO101Check out Shopify: https://shopify.com/crypto101Check out NPR: https://npr.orgGet my #1 altcoin pick for this month.Get immediate access to my entire crypto portfolio for just $1.00 today!

Notre décennie marquera la fin du modèle bancaire tel qu'on le connaît.En 2020, Paul Frambot a 20 ans, il est en deuxième année à Télécom Paris et il déteste la finance.Il la trouve fondamentalement inutile et parasitaire.Puis il comprend que le problème est avant tout structurel : 50 000 banques, des milliers d'intermédiaires et des systèmes vieux de 40 ans que personne ne remet en cause parce que tout le monde en profite, sauf le client final.Pour y remédier, Paul commence à coder Morpho.Depuis sa chambre étudiante et en seulement 600 lignes, il crée un protocole de prêt et d'emprunt déployé sur la blockchain qui permet de contourner le système bancaire traditionnel.Un code que personne ne peut modifier ni arrêter. Pas même un État.Son pari : ne pas construire une banque de plus, mais devenir l'infrastructure invisible sur laquelle les géants de la finance viennent se brancher.Aujourd'hui, Morpho gère plus de 10 milliards de dollars de dépôts, héberge tous les produits de crédits numériques de la Société Générale et vient de lever 175 millions auprès de fonds américains parmi les plus prestigieux pour continuer son ascension.Cela faisait un moment qu'un entrepreneur ne m'avait pas autant impressionné. Et il a 25 ans. Dans cet épisode :Le fonctionnement de la finance décentralisée pour les nulsPourquoi les banques investissent dans celui qui veut détruire leur modèleLever 175 millions d'euros sans donner une seule part de sa sociétéComment fonctionne le cartel bancaire, et pourquoi un seul traître suffit à tout faire tomberPaul prouve qu'on n'a pas besoin d'être passionné par une industrie pour la révolutionner et qu'au contraire, la détester est parfois un bien meilleur moteur.Un épisode dense mais vulgarisé avec soin, pour comprendre comment 600 lignes de code sont en train de bousculer la finance mondiale.Vous pouvez contacter Paul sur LinkedIn et X (twitter)TIMELINE:00:00:00 : 600 lignes de code pour remplacer 50 000 banques00:17:33 : 6 ans d'échecs avant Morpho00:35:49 : "S'associer c'est comme se marier mais sans le sexe"00:48:34 : Se lancer dans une industrie tout en la détestant01:04:50 : Emprunter de l'argent sans banque01:12:38 : Devenir indispensable à l'ensemble des flux financiers mondiaux01:17:21 : Pourquoi BlackRock investit dans celui qui veut le détruire01:21:24 : Combien coûte un ingénieur blockchain ?01:25:58 : La stratégie de l'océan bleu01:28:51 : Comment fonctionne Morpho01:40:15 : Une association qui lève 175 millions01:43:04 : "Il y a des gens qui veulent nous tuer"01:52:01 : Développer une entreprise tech sans aucun codeur02:08:22 : L'AGI et la perte de contrôle inévitable vers laquelle nous fonçons02:12:37 : Ne jamais reculer, même face à la NSA ou la Corée du Nord02:26:40 : "J'ai très peu de vie privée, mais c'est un choix délibéré"02:29:54 : Pourquoi Morpho n'a pas de conseil d'administrationLes anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #543 - Yann Le Cun - AMI Labs - Rendre l'IA plus humaine#420 - Stanislas Niox-Château - Doctolib : derrière la plus grosse marque de la French tech#397 - Yann Le Cun - Chief AI Scientist chez Meta - L'Intelligence Artificielle Générale ne viendra pas de Chat GPT#229 - Frédéric Montagnon - Arianee - Le WEB3 pour se réapproprier Internet#32 - Fabrice Grinda - FJ Labs - Nerd, major de promo à Princeton, et entrepreneur bouillantNous avons parlé de :DeFi (Decentralized Finance) - définition et fonctionnement généralMorpho (protocole) - présentation générale du protocoleAndreessen Horowitz (a16z) - fonds d'investissementMarc Andreessen - fondateur a16zInstitut Polytechnique de Paris / Télécom Paris - écolesEthereum - blockchainTempo (blockchain de Stripe)Corée du Nord et hacks crypto - vague d'attaques DeFiApollo (asset manager, ~1 trilliard $ AUM)BlackRock / Fidelity (trilliards $ AUM)MICA (réglementation européenne crypto-actifs)"Software is eating the world" - essai AndreessenOpenClaw / Hermès - surcouches agents IAGranola - outil d'enregistrement de réunionsFabl 5 : le nouveau modèle d'AnthropicLes articles de Paul FrambotUn grand MERCI à nos sponsors : Squarespace : https://squarespace.com/doitQonto: https://qonto.com/r/2i7tk9 Brevo: brevo.com/doit eToro: https://bit.ly/3GTSh0k Payfit: payfit.com Club Med : clubmed.frCuure : https://cuure.com/product-onely (code DOIT)Vous pouvez retrouver la liste de tout le matériel utilisé pour enregistrer nos épisodes sur cette page.Vous souhaitez sponsoriser Génération Do It Yourself ou nous proposer un partenariat ?Contactez mon label Orso Media via ce formulaire.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

CME Group filed a federal lawsuit in Washington, D.C. against the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Chairman Michael Selig. The suit challenges the regulator's recent decision to approve perpetual futures for Kalshi and Coinbase, arguing that these 24/7 contracts are legally swaps rather than futures.

Eric Brown leads Developer Relations at BASE, Coinbase's L2. So when he says the chain sees over $4 trillion in monthly stablecoin payments and 25+ local stablecoins now circulate worldwide, it's worth interrogating closely.Jamie Crypto sits down with Eric at Consensus 2026 for a full read on what's actually shipping on BASE in 2026 — X402 as the default agent-payment rail, sub-cent fees and 5,000 TPS bursts, the Azul upgrade, the AI red team / blue team security flip, and why seven-plus local stablecoins are getting real point-of-sale adoption in South America while the U.S. lags.We cover:- The $4T monthly stablecoin payments figure (Eric's claim)- X402 and ~2M agent transactions in 30 days on BASE- 400M gas per block, sub-tenth-of-a-cent fees, 5,000 TPS bursts- DeFi security after a brutal month of hacks — AI's role on both sides- Why the agentic cohort is "completely unbanked already"- Morpho, 4% USDC yields, and what makes an onchain app stickyFilmed at Consensus 2026.Host: Jamie Redman

In this episode of the Oncology Brothers podcast, we dived deep into the complexities of relapsed refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with expert guest Dr. Joshua Zeidner, Chief of Leukemia Research at the University of North Carolina.

FLT3 inhibitors like gilteritinib and quizartinib play an important role in MRD-positive FLT3 ITD/NPM1-mutated AML post-transplant, with the MORPHO trial supporting gilteritinib as maintenance therapy. Menin inhibitors may have a broader role in high-risk AML including NPM1-mutated disease, and re-evaluating mutational profiles at relapse is critical for optimal treatment selection. Careful monitoring of side effect profiles, drug interactions, and MRD status is essential when navigating targeted therapy decisions in relapsed refractory AML. Throughout the episode, we discuss key practical points, including the importance of monitoring for QTc prolongation and the impact of drug interactions with CYP3A4 inhibitors. Tune in for an informative discussion that sheds light on the latest advancements in targeted therapies for AML and the evolving landscape of treatment options.

David Reising is the Founder of Lotus."Aave compresses risk. Morpho isolates it. Lotus clears it."In this episode, David walks through why avoiding bad debt has become DeFi lending's biggest self-imposed constraint and how Lotus's connected tranches, cascading liquidity, and productive debt unlock a yield curve that neither Aave nor Morpho can offer.According to David, the next battle in DeFi lending is what's inside your vault, and Lotus is the answer.------
People think of Aave and Morpho as competitors. But Morpho only lost $1 million when North Korea drained $300M from a DeFi protocol. The architecture explains why. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsors! Coinbase One 20% off first year of annual plan + $50 Bitcoin bonus.

Satya changes how Bitcoin scales. citrea.xyz/unchained Ether.fi 15% cash back on food and ride apps, 3% on everything else. ether.fi/unchained ======================================================== After North Korea's Lazarus Group drained nearly $300 million from Kelp DAO's bridge, the contagion spread fast, leaving close to $200 million in bad debt on Aave. Morpho, one of the largest lending protocols in DeFi, ended up with about $1 million in exposure. Paul Frambot, co-founder and CEO of Morpho, explains why the protocol's modular, isolated architecture produced a different outcome, and what it reveals about how DeFi lending is supposed to work. He also addresses the ongoing debate over whether DeFi lenders are fairly compensated for risk, the institutional reaction to the hack and what it means for the sector's timeline, the moral complexity of Arbitrum's decision to freeze stolen funds, and why formal verification may be DeFi's last line of defense in an age of increasingly powerful AI.

Ellis Osborn and Kevin Li are CoFounders of Saturn.This is the first episode in a new series by The Edge Podcast covering emerging DeFi builders. Ellis and Kevin break down how Saturn tokenizes STRC via two onchain assets, USDat and sUSDat. Michael Saylor and his team at Strategy built STRC to pay an 11.5% yield backed by Bitcoin. Saturn is building the DeFi layer on top of this STRC yield.We learn how Saturn's tokenized yield unlocks global access to STRC, higher leverage through the likes of Morpho, yield trading on Pendle, and risk tranching soon through Strata. They share more on why Saylor himself is so excited for what Saturn is working on to distribute STRC yield on Ethereum. We cover why digital credit might be superior to private credit, and how STRC could become "the risk-free rate of onchain finance."------
What if the future of lending doesn't need banks at all? Paul Frambot, cofounder and CEO of Morpho, explains what it means to build lending infrastructure without banks, and why DeFi's real breakthrough isn't “risk-free” loans, but open, onchain markets that make lending more transparent, competitive, and efficient. In this conversation, Paul breaks down the biggest misconception in DeFi lending, how to think about risk onchain, why institutions are learning faster than expected, and where banks, asset managers, fintechs, and stablecoins fit into the next wave of adoption. He also shares his long-term vision for finance: a world where open blockchain infrastructure replaces siloed financial systems, access to capital gets broader, and financial products become cheaper, more personalized, and easier to build.

MultiChain Advisors - The Growth & Capital Markets Partner You Need Crypto Tax Girl $25 million extracted and millions more in bad debt across lending protocols. Chaos Labs founder Omer Goldberg joins Uneasy Money hosts Kain Warwick, Luca Netz and Taylor Monahan to unpack the Resolv exploit. They dive into how the exploit reveals DeFi's basic OpSec and risk judgement failings. Omer highlights the various ways it could have been prevented as Tay says protocol audits have become “security theater.” Kain questions Morpho's curator model after its pools were hit hard as the contagion spread. He also highlights markers that suggest the exploit may have been executed in panic. Beyond the Resolv exploit, the crew highlights that Aave v4 has made it out of governance, discussing the motivations behind the upgrade and whether the hub and spoke model will impact listing standards.

Natasha Hamilton was 16 when she signed a record deal with the girl band, Atomic Kitten. The group went on to sell over 10 million records and achieve three UK Number One singles including Whole Again and The Tide Is High. But the pressures of fame affected her mental health and made her feel isolated and judged. After five years and the birth of her first son, Hamilton quit the band. Today, Hamilton tells that story - the one that existed behind the headlines. We talk about the toxicity of 90s and early Y2K media, surviving postnatal depression and financial catastrophe after divorce. Plus we talk about why she set up her own record label, Morpho, to focus on nurturing and empowering young talent rather than - as she puts it - ‘moulding them into a product'. An amazing woman whose resilience should be an inspiration to us all! Natasha Hamilton's new single Numb is out now. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction 03:15 Forties And Clarity 04:47 Writing Numb 06:03 Morpho Records And Duty Of Care 08:11 Bullied But Born To Sing 14:13 Fame Tabloids And Numbness 21:40 Whole Again And Industry Bias 29:37 Making Peace With The Band 31:17 Rebuilding Sisterhood Again 31:37 Losing Pop Star Identity 32:43 Shock Pregnancy And Isolation 35:17 Postnatal Breakdown And Help 38:12 CBT And Taking Control 40:40 New Career In Beauty 46:00 Divorce Money Chaos And Recovery
Sid Powell and Paul Frambot on why Apollo, Cantor, and Coinbase are quietly building their financial products on DeFi rails, and what it means for lending. Nexo is the premier digital wealth platform. Receive interest on your crypto, borrow against it without selling, and trade a range of assets. Now available in the U.S with 30 days of exclusive privileges. Get started at nexo.com/unchained Onchain lending used to be a crypto-native curiosity. Now Cantor Fitzgerald is extending credit facilities through it, Apollo Global Management is acquiring governance tokens, and Coinbase users are borrowing against Bitcoin to buy houses, all running on DeFi protocols operating in the background. Maple Finance CEO Sid Powell and Morpho co-founder Paul Frambot sit at the center of this shift, and they have very different reads on what it takes to make institutional adoption real. What are the actual limits to onchain lending growth right now? Does the DeFi mullet model work for everyone, or only for specific use cases? And as DAOs across the industry stumble under the weight of public governance, what structures actually let a protocol move fast without losing trust? This conversation gets into the mechanics, the trade-offs, and the deals that are quietly redrawing the lines between DeFi and traditional finance. Guests: Paul Frambot, Co-Founder & CEO at Morpho Labs Sid Powell, CEO & Co-Founder of Maple Finance Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Mag 7 have committed over $700 billion to AI infrastructure, but the companies building the models may never capture the value. Thank you to our sponsors: Adaptive Security Fuse: The Energy Network The BLS just quietly revised away 862,000 jobs, and real-time inflation trackers now peg price growth below 1%, less than half of what official figures report. If the Fed is steering monetary policy with stale data, investors need to ask what else the models are getting wrong. At the same time, the Mag 7 have committed more than $700 billion to AI infrastructure, with Anthropic alone projecting $1 trillion in revenue within five years. Is that conviction or the early stages of a debt cycle nobody is pricing? And then there is the institutional side of crypto: BlackRock's BUIDL fund just landed on Uniswap with $2.4 billion in assets, Apollo acquired $90 million in Morpho tokens, and AI agents are already settling micropayments in stablecoins. Austin Campbell, Ram Ahluwalia, and Christopher Perkins sit down with Truflation's CEO Stefan Rust to ask whether the numbers we trust are telling us the truth. Hosts: Ram Ahluwalia, CFA, CEO and Founder of Lumida Austin Campbell, NYU Stern professor and founder and managing partner of Zero Knowledge Consulting Christopher Perkins, Managing Partner and President of CoinFund Guest: Stefan Rust, Founder and CEO of Truflation Links: Unchained: BlackRock Just Chose Uniswap.
