In traditional finance, Treasury Management is a well-documented practice with plenty of guidance and literature. But in web3, many of those concepts don't quite apply.Foundations, DAOs, and other web3 startups often hold their treasuries in wallets, with those assets remaining idle.But by strategically allocating part of their treasury to generate yield, these organizations can create an additional revenue stream to help finance daily operations.The companies that understand DeFi tend to have a longer runway. They burn less of their initial funding because DeFi yield covers some or all of their working capital needs. But how do you identify the right protocols? How do you invest according to your risk profile and revenue goals?On Episode 85, I spoke with Mathieu Baril, the CEO & Founder of Octav, to provide us with the tips & tricks on managing a treasury in crypto, & how to leverage DeFi yield. ✅ OUR RESOURCES

Global currency digitalization is a process that is advancing rapidly around the world, with several countries creating digital versions of their currencies as a way to compete with the proliferation of private currencies and better meet the demands of an increasingly virtual economy. And even though Donald Trump has signed an executive order banning the creation and issuance of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in the US, he wants to be the president that approves his own token currency; that being, stablecoin. With Crypto Keeper Elon Musk at the helm, comprehensive stablecoin legislation is expected to be finalized in the coming months, underscoring the government's urgency to maintain the US dollar's dominance in On-Chain activity. Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10 pm, pacific time on groundzeroplus.com), Clyde Lewis talks about TALES FROM THE CRYPTO KEEPER.

This week, host Ben Floyd is joined by David Han and Georg Toropov to navigate a tough crypto landscape. We break down Solana's sharp decline—down nearly 50% from its highs—Ethereum nearing a death cross, and extreme fear gripping the market amidst over $1B in ETF outflows and widespread liquidations. We also cover the Bybit hack and its ripple effects across trading activity.On the onchain side, we dive into the drop in Solana DEX volumes, Pump.fun's plan to launch its own AMM, and a wave of more recent mainnet launches from the likes of Berachain and Story, as well as Monad's testnet debut.Meanwhile, macro factors add to the uncertainty, with rate cuts unlikely before summer. Client conversations reveal a lack of clear near-term catalysts with significant legislation potentially taking months to materialize. But we finish on a high note—Ethereum's RWA market is growing in both value and adoption, even as the Pectra testnet hits delays.Links:Coinbase Research2025 Crypto OutlookTopics Covered:Market Weakness: SOL's drop, ETH's death cross risk, ETF outflows, and liquidations.Security Incident: The Bybit hack and market response.Onchain Activity: Solana DEX struggles, Pump AMMs, and major protocol launches.Macro & Sentiment: Delayed Fed cuts, client sentiment, and regulatory hurdles.Ethereum Outlook: Pectra testnet hiccups, but RWA growth as a bright spot.Host:Ben Floyd, Head of Execution ServicesSpeakers:David Han, Research AnalystGeorg Toropov, Senior CES Sales Trader

with @1HowardWu @SuccinctJT @rhhackettWelcome to web3 with a16z. Today's show is all about privacy, why it matters, and how to achieve it technically onchain.It's fair to say that many blockchains today are quite… revealing. But that openness and transparency doesn't work for everything — who would want anyone to have full-on X-Ray vision into your finances? That's one reason why there's been a growing appreciation for — and trend toward — more blockchain privacy. Our guest today argues that there are many other reasons you might want some secrecy too, including a whole host of onchain applications and uses that only become feasible when you have a notion of privacy. That guest is Provable Cofounder and CEO Howard Wu who helped invent the protocols behind and build Aleo, a privacy-focused blockchain network. Wu joins a16z crypto Research Partner Justin Thaler, who is also a computer scientist at Georgetown University (as well as the brains behind the cutting-edge, open source zkVM Jolt), plus me, your host, Robert Hackett.The first voice you'll hear is mine, then Howard's, then Justin's. As a reminder, none of the content should be taken as investment, business, legal, or tax advice.
