Podcasts about perps

Vom Tellerwäscher zum Millionär, das war lange das große Krypto-Versprechen: 2010 zufällig ein paar Euro in Bitcoin gesteckt und ein paar Jahre später die komplette Bloodline in Rente geschickt. Funktioniert das heute eigentlich noch? Und wenn ja, wo? Bei den Perps, in den Prediction Markets oder doch nur mit schmutzigen Fingern und ehrlicher Research-Fleißarbeit? Darüber sprechen Julius Nagel und Florian Adomeit in dieser Folge von Alles Coin, Nichts Muss.

This week, CFTC Chair Michael Selig joins the show to discuss the CFTC's recent policy announcement on perps in the U.S. We deep dive into how to regulate crypto in the U.S, prediction markets, 24/7 markets, working with the SEC and more.

Kash Dhanda is the COO at Jupiter.Most people know Jupiter for its flagship DEX aggregator and perps. But we've dug into the onchain business backing JUP token value accrual and why the fundamentals are worth understanding heading into the next bull run.In this episode of Revenue Meta, Kash walks us through how Jupiter generates revenue across five distinct products: DEX aggregator, perps, Jupiter Lend, JupUSD, and Jupiter Spend, plus more revenue streams growing in development. This is a fascinating deep dive into Solana's largest, most dominant DeFi super app, including why perps for just three trading pairs wins over so much trade volume, how JLP remains one of Jupiter's most popular products, and how JUP token value accrual is aligned with Jupiter's app success. We also get the inside details on what's coming with Jupiter Lens DEX, prediction markets for the World Cup, Jupiter Spend, and their new Offerbook for borrowing and lending with long tail tokens.------

Joe Lubin makes the bull case for Ethereum amid a sea of bearishness. The panel dissects Saylor selling Bitcoin for the first time in four years, the meaning behind 9 senior EF departures, Justin Drake's Q-Day call (50% by 2032), Manuel Araoz declaring all of DeFi unsafe, the ThorChain hack fallout, the Zama/Overnight Finance USDC freeze saga, and the CFTC greenlighting the first US perpetual futures product. 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. This week Joe Lubin is stepping in to make the bull case for ETH on what he admits is a tough day to be bullish. We open on Strategy's first Bitcoin sale in four years and whether the STRC preferred stock structure is "an algorithmic stablecoin with too many steps," as Tarun puts it. Joe pivots to pitching Ether DATs, then we get into the Ethereum Foundation's brain drain -- nine researchers gone, CROPS as the new mandate, and a mysterious new developer organization taking shape behind the scenes. The episode's meatiest block covers DeFi security: Justin Drake warns Q-Day is 50% likely by 2032, Manuel Araoz says all of DeFi is unsafe, ThorChain's been offline for two weeks post-hack, and the panel debates whether we're entering a rough 12-24 months where attackers outrun defenders. We close on Hyperliquid's all-time highs and the CFTC opening the door to US perps.  Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.

The CFTC reclassified perps as futures. Katherine and Jessi parse what the ruling actually permits and what it means for Hyperliquid. Plus: if your AI agent gets scammed, who pays? Thanks to our sponsor! Explore crypto careers that could change your future at https://crypto.fidelitycareers.com The CFTC approved a perpetual Bitcoin futures contract for KalshiEX, and crypto Twitter immediately got it wrong. Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos untangles what actually changed, why the switch from swap to futures classification matters for retail access, and what the ruling leaves wide open on leverage and decentralized exchanges. Jessi Brooks and Katherine explore the fact that AI agents can now place orders, not just give advice. They revisit their paper "The Agents at the Gate" and make clear why Robinhood's move to let agents charge your Gold Card raises liability questions that existing consumer protection law was never built to answer. In the strangest segment, they also dug into a New York lawsuit where an anonymous plaintiff is claiming legal ownership of nearly 40,000 dormant crypto wallets. Jessi explains why the lost-property theory will probably fail — and why even a partial win could force centralized exchanges into an impossible spot.

Join our hosts as they explore the evolution of perpetual futures and how these “no-expiration” instruments are reshaping crypto market structure. From the mechanics of funding rates to the differences between traditional and perpetual futures, we break down why perps have become a dominant trading vehicle in digital assets. We'll cover the rapid rise of on-chain platforms like Hyperliquid, examining how permissionless market creation, expanded asset access, and real-time transparency are redefining who can trade—and what they can trade. We'll also unpack core trade-offs: from oracle design and liquidity challenges to smart contract risk, visible positions, and regulatory uncertainty. Listen in as we look ahead at what these innovations could signal for the broader future of markets, including the potential convergence of crypto-native infrastructure with traditional finance.

Felix Fan runs Trust Wallet — 200 million users and, per his own numbers, the third-largest self-custodial wallet by Bitcoin transaction volume. At Consensus 2026 he sits down with David Sencil to drop the stats, the controversies, and the roadmap.The tension Felix is honest about: shipping innovations on Bitcoin — like inscriptions — that Bitcoin OGs don't love. The Trust Wallet bet is that the next 100M users care more about features than purity, while still wanting self-custody. He also gets specific about what's NOT shipped yet: private swap, private transfer, and Zcash support are all built but waiting on legal frameworks.We cover:- The 200M-user and #3 Bitcoin volume claim- Inscriptions on Bitcoin and the OG debate- Gasless stablecoin transfers via RPC-level sponsorship- Trust Wallet's agent kit for AI on-chain- Perps, prediction markets, and the regulatory wall on privacyFilmed at Consensus 2026.Host: David Sencil

We discuss why oil remains the key macro pressure point for crypto as Iran-conflict escalation keeps inflation risk, the dollar, and higher-for-longer Fed expectations in focus. We cover why bitcoin's setup has weakened below $70K, with ETF outflows, weak trend signals, softer holder profitability, and exchange inflows all pointing to a more fragile market. We also discuss Coinbase bringing regulated access to crypto options and perpetual futures to the US, why that could be a major institutional market structure unlock, and why AI continues to support equities even as crypto lags. Main sections: (01:20 - 08:51) Oil, Iran, and stagflation risk (08:51 - 14:21) Bitcoin's weaker setup (14:21 - 22:18) Crypto options and perps come to the US!

In this episode, Peter breaks down Cardano's emerging perpetuals landscape and why this next wave of DeFi products could bring both more activity and more risk to the ecosystem. Rather than focusing on just one project, he compares four platforms, Strike Finance, Atlas, Ascend, and Minute Markets, and explains how each one is approaching leveraged trading, prediction markets, liquidity, privacy, and user experience.The episode also gives a beginner-friendly explanation of what perpetuals are, how long and short positions work, why leverage can be dangerous, and why stablecoin liquidity matters so much for Cardano DeFi. It is a useful overview for anyone trying to understand where perpetual trading fits into Cardano's growth, what makes each platform different, and which design choices could matter most if this sector gains real traction.Key Takeaways:- Cardano now has multiple projects competing in the perpetuals and prediction market space, with Strike Finance, Atlas, Ascend, and Minute Markets each taking a different approach.- Perpetuals let traders go long or short with leverage, but they also introduce liquidation risk and should be treated as an active trading tool rather than passive income.- Strike Finance is currently the most established platform in the group, with a live mainnet product and a broader cross-chain expansion strategy.- Atlas is trying to solve Cardano's fragmented stablecoin liquidity problem through a unified collateral and liquidity model.- Ascend combines prediction markets with perpetuals and adds privacy through zero-knowledge infrastructure on Midnight.- Minute Markets focuses on short-duration prediction markets, making the user experience simple and fast but potentially encouraging overtrading.- Peter argues that better mobile wallet integration and cleaner user experience could be key to bringing more retail users into Cardano DeFi products.- The long-term winners in this sector are likely to be the platforms that combine liquidity, risk management, clear product design, and user trust.Links & References:- x.com: https://x.com/strikeperps- Strike Finance | Decentralized Perpetuals Trading On Chain: https://www.strikefinance.org/- x.com: https://x.com/ATLAS_DEFI_/- x.com: https://x.com/ATLAS_DEFI_/status/2039422902005571907- x.com: https://x.com/AscendPerps- Ascend Market | Leveraged Event Perpetuals: https://www.ascend.market/- x.com: https://x.com/minute_markets- Minute Markets: https://www.minutemarkets.io/Website: https://learncardano.ioX/Twitter: https://x.com/LearnCardanoDisclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only.

Hyperliquid landet den Stablecoin-Coup des Jahres: Circle und Coinbase leiten künftig bis zu 90 Prozent der USDC-Treasury-Umsätze auf Hyperliquid ans Protokoll weiter, geschätzt 160 Millionen Dollar pro Jahr. Erzwungen hat das ein kleines, Hyperliquid-nahes Team namens Native Markets, das Circle damit zu genau dem bewegt hat, was vor einem Jahr noch kategorisch abgelehnt wurde. Der Hyperliquid-Token sprang prompt 20 Prozent, der Circle-Aktienkurs läuft seitwärts. Wer sich als Nächstes ein Stück vom Stablecoin-Kuchen abschneidet und warum die Circle-Aktie trotzdem vor Power strotzt, darüber sprechen Julius Nagel und Florian Adomeit in dieser Folge von Alles Coin, Nichts Muss.

In this episode of the Crypto Rundown, Tevo and Brian break down a major shift as Bitcoin begins decoupling from tech stocks while institutional demand surges through consistent ETF inflows. They highlight 13 straight days of Wall Street buying, rising odds of Bitcoin hitting $90K, and growing evidence that smart money is accumulating during uncertainty. The conversation explores bullish catalysts like Morgan Stanley's ETF, government interest in Bitcoin infrastructure, and evolving regulation through the Clarity Act. They also touch on Ethereum's long-term upside, stablecoin adoption through major companies like DoorDash and Visa, and why crypto's integration into global systems is accelerating.$1 Trial Momentum Money Makers VIPhttps://www.thecryptomavericks.com/mm-vip-trial1763665474309?utm_content=MMTrial&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_source=Internal&utm_term=DescriptionCheck out Quince: https://quince.com/CRYPTO101Check out Shopify: https://shopify.com/crypto101Check out Mars Men: https://mengotomars.comGet my #1 altcoin pick for this month.Get immediate access to my entire crypto portfolio for just $1.00 today! Get your FREE copy of "Crypto Revolution" and start making big profits from buying, selling,Get immediate access to my entire crypto portfolio.. just $1.00 today!

Crypto's vibe check time: Jez (izebel_eth) joins the crew to dissect whether idealism is RIP, if cypherpunks should abandon hope, how Memecoins and asset mayhem changed the game, why prediction markets are both truth engines and regulatory minefields, and where real permissionless finance is actually winning in the middle of global chaos. 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. This week the gang is joined by super-perpetuals-junkie Jez for a spicy look at whether crypto has lost its soul — or if things are just getting interesting. Is crypto's vibe shift just growing pains, or did Memecoins and jaded traders nuke our idealism for good? The crew rehashes dreams of cypherpunk glory, debates the “death of the dream,” and gets existential about crypto's place in a world where everything is either a commodity, a meme, or a permissionless financial machine. Plus: War in Iran sends TradFi running, but DeFi markets are live, and prediction markets step up just as the regulators get weird. Enough nostalgia — let's get into it.
