I sat down with Cary Katz, the man who quietly built the modern stage of poker. He's the founder of PokerGO, the one who brought us the Super High Roller Bowl, Poker Masters, US Poker Open, and yes, even the Big Blind Ante. What fascinates me isn't just his $40M+ in tournament winnings, but his mindset: the shift from frustration to gratitude, from creating a prison with losses to celebrating them. Cary opens up about business risks, how passion projects cost more than you expect, and why he thinks integrity is the only real strategy in life.We also got into health, longevity, and some personal truths: how it took him 55 years to quit sugar, why lifting weights is a cheat code against the “four horsemen,” and how he views the next 30 years of his life as a freeroll. From billion-dollar loans to billions of minutes of poker watched, Cary's story isn't just about poker, it's about building, adapting, and finding perspective through the swings. He also finally lays out who he thinks are poker's true icons...

Sreeram Kannan, Founder and CEO of EigenLabs, joined me to discuss the latest updates around Ethereum staking, restaking, liquid staking and much more.Topics:- EigenLayer's role in the Ethereum ecosystem - Ethereum's growth and adoption - Future of Staking - SEC liquid staking guidance - Ethereum treasury companies - EigenLayer and EigenCloud are supercharging Ethereum yield and developer adoption - Institutions earning yield via staking and DeFi Show Sponsor -

David Kinitsky is the CEO of Everstake, a leading global non-custodial staking provider serving institutional and retail clients, with $6.5 billion staked across 85+ networks. David was the founding General Manager of Grayscale Investments, now one of the world's largest digital asset managers, and previously led operations for SecondMarket, the private market platform later acquired by NASDAQ. Why you should listen Everstake is a professional staking provider founded in 2018 by a team of Ukrainian engineers. The company specializes in Proof-of-Stake (PoS) validation, helping individuals and institutions participate in securing blockchain networks while earning staking rewards. Today, Everstake supports more than 70 networks, including Ethereum, Solana, and Cosmos, and operates with a strong technical focus, maintaining over 99.9% uptime for its users. In terms of scale, the platform has worked with more than 735,000 stakers, facilitated over $6.5 billion in assets staked, and distributed around $712 million in rewards. Beyond being a validator, Everstake positions itself as a broader infrastructure partner within the Web3 ecosystem. The company has contributed to well-known projects such as Solana, Wormhole, The Graph, and Pyth, and has provided advisory and engineering support to help these networks grow. One of its most visible initiatives was managing the Aid for Ukraine crypto fundraising campaign, in partnership with the Ukrainian government and other industry players, which raised over $60 million for humanitarian and defense support. Recently, Everstake has also expanded into institutional services. Through a collaboration with io.finnet, it now enables enterprises to stake assets like ETH and SOL directly from secure multiparty computation (MPC) wallets, removing custodial risk while simplifying the staking process. This shows Everstake's dual focus: serving the crypto community at large while also providing infrastructure for institutional adoption.

“I think this could be way bigger than the internet.” CoinFund's Seth Ginns describes the opportunity ahead for crypto, predicting the market cap could grow at least 10× in the next few years. In this in-depth conversation with Chris Perkins, Seth explains how Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) are becoming Wall Street's bridge into crypto, unlocking staking yields, DeFi income, and permanent capital advantages ETFs can't match. He breaks down how DATs defend against NAV discounts with buybacks, cash reserves, and M&A, and why strong management teams are critical for success. You'll also hear why institutional flows, macro tailwinds, and a pro-crypto U.S. policy could power massive growth, how AI + crypto could spawn the next wave of DATs, and why a global M2 liquidity signal that leads Bitcoin's price by ~100 days has him bullish. Plus, Seth shares his vision for an on-chain equity market that could transform capital formation worldwide.  

Ethical cryptocurrency Scotcoin (SCOT) is flipping the crypto script by offering a staking programme that goes beyond personal financial gain. The twist on traditional staking lets participants help fund vetted charities via a new staking initiative.

Een gevarieerde beursdag, zo kan je hem wel het best omschrijven. Het ging over een vette bek, medicatie, software en over olie. Om te beginnen met oliemaatschappij BP. Dat kwam met goede kwartaalcijfers, die beleggers totaal niet zagen aankomen. Nu alle grote olie- en gasreuzen met cijfers zijn gekomen, maken we de balans op. Wat is het beste aandeel dat je kan hebben? Is dat nu toch BP of moet je gaan voor Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron, TotalEnergies of Saudi-Aramco?Die andere hoogvlieger is Pfizer. De farmaceut verrast niet alleen met de kwartaalcijfers, dat doet het óók met de outlook. Het verhoogt de winstverwachting. Ondanks de torenhoge importheffingen van Trump en zijn dreigement om de prijzen van farmaceuten aan te pakken.Die vette bek gaat over Yum Brands, de eigenaar van onder meer KFC en de Pizza Hut. Dat heeft het pijnlijk genoeg heel lastig op de thuismarkt. Al kwartalen op rij draaien ze in de VS slecht.Ook vertellen we je alles over Palantir. Dat aandeel deed het al waanzinnig goed, maar blijft maar stijgen. Reden zijn de goede cijfers. We onderzoeken waarom dit bedrijf (dat onder meer de FBI als klant heeft) zo'n beurslieveling is. Verder in deze aflevering: De Zwitsers vliegen naar Trump om te onderhandelen over de tarieven Trump ziet Scott Bessent afhaken: hij wil geen Fed-baas worden TSMC heeft een lek: er zijn bedrijfsgeheimen gestolen Aandeelhouders van NovoNordisk slepen bedrijf voor de rechter See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if staking could be seamless, secure and DeFi-friendly? In this episode of The Index, host Alex Kehaya talks with Michael Repetny, Co-founder and CEO of Marinade Finance, the largest staking protocol on Solana with over $1.5 billion in crypto assets under management.Michael shares the remarkable journey behind Marinade—from a scrappy Solana hackathon project to a cornerstone of Solana's infrastructure. Built by a team that turned down VC funding and acquisition offers, Marinade's community-first ethos helped it scale organically while staying aligned with Solana's mission of decentralization.To help demystify staking, Michael breaks it down with an easy-to-grasp analogy: Solana is a representative democracy—validators act as political parties processing transactions, while token holders are citizens who delegate their voting power. Marinade leveled up this system with liquid staking, empowering users to earn staking rewards while staying active in DeFi. It's like earning yield without locking up your assets—having your cake and eating it too.The conversation also dives into Marinade's evolving product suite:mSOL – the OG liquid staking tokenMarinade Native – a no-smart-contract solution that stakes directly with validatorsMarinade Select – tailored for institutions prioritizing compliance and transparencyThese innovations are positioning Marinade as the go-to staking partner as Solana matures, financial institutional interest grows, and ETF discussions heat up.Whether you're building in Solana, buying tokens, or just want your assets to work harder—this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

Kyle Reidhead is the Founder of Impact3 and Co-Owner of The Milk Road.In this episode, we provide a comprehensive guide on ETH treasury companies, publicly traded firms focused on acquiring and staking ETH for their balance sheets, while tapping into DeFi to earn yield. We explore how these firms raise capital to buy more ETH, how staking/DeFi differentiates them from BTC treasury companies, why metrics like mNAV, share count, and ETH purchase-to-issuance ratio matter, and how this new Wall Street phenomenon is driving an outsized bid to buy a shrinking supply of ETH.------

Can Bitcoin finally generate yield without compromising self-custody? My interview with Fisher Yu, Co-Founder of Babylon, on unlocking Bitcoin staking. Babylon enables BTC holders to earn staking rewards by securing other networks. The future of Bitcoin DeFi could unlock trillions in idle value. Regulation and technology must align to ensure secure, yield-generating BTC protocols. Want your kids to learn about crypto?

Proof of stake might not be the endgame we thought it was.In today's episode, we sit down with John Adler from Celestia to explore his controversial "proof of governance" proposal that's been ruffling feathers in crypto Twitter.John argues staking creates fake yield through inflation while creating unfair validator economics. His solution? Skip staking entirely and move to governance-based validator selection.We dive into how this could slash issuance by 20-40x, why validators are "cogs" in the system, and how burning fees becomes viable without massive inflation.Let's get into it.The RollupWebsite: https://therollup.co/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1P6ZeYd9vbF3hJA2n7qoL5?si=7230787bb90947efPodcast: https://therollup.co/category/podcastFollow us on X: https://www.x.com/therollupcoFollow Rob on X: https://www.x.com/robbie_rollupFollow Andy on X: https://www.x.com/ayyyeandyJoin our TG group: https://t.me/+8ARkR_YZixE5YjBhThe Rollup Disclosures: https://therollup.co/the-rollup-discl

Staking in crypto ETFs has been highly anticipated by the industry. Marinade (MNDE) is an automated staking protocol on Solana that offers two core products: liquid staking via mSOL and Marinade Native. Marinade Select's structure has earned it the role of the first staking provider named in Canary Capital's proposed Canary Marinade Solana ETF.

Show notes Cryptocurrency News: Senate passes stablecoin bill, turning focus to House | The Block The U.S. Senate has passed the GENIUS Act, the first major federal legislation to regulate stablecoins, requiring them to be fully backed by liquid assets and imposing audit and transparency standards. The bill, which received bipartisan support, now shifts to the House for consideration and is seen as a pivotal step toward legitimizing the crypto industry and cementing U.S. dollar dominance in digital assets. Despite this progress, concerns remain over potential conflicts of interest and the adequacy of consumer protections, particularly regarding anti-money laundering and corporate issuance provisions. How to legally stake crypto in 2025: What is now allowed after the SEC’s latest move The SEC’s 2025 guidelines confirm that solo, delegated, and custodial staking directly tied to network consensus are not securities offerings. Staking rewards are treated as service compensation, not investment returns. However, yield farming and staking-like lending schemes remain regulated as securities. JPMorgan, SEC meet to discuss capital markets moving onchain JPMorgan executives met with the SEC’s Crypto Task Force to discuss the regulatory implications and potential impacts of traditional capital markets migrating to public blockchains, including how existing financial models might change and how to assess associated risks and benefits123. The discussions also covered JPMorgan’s current digital asset initiatives, such as its digital platform for repurchase agreements and the launch of its new deposit token, JPMD, on Coinbase’s Base blockchain123. JPMorgan emphasized that deposit tokens like JPMD, which are fully backed by bank deposits, offer a more scalable and institution-friendly alternative to stablecoins, with no immediate plans to launch a stablecoin themselves123. Cointelegraph joins forces with Nansen to boost crypto journalism with onchain data Cointelegraph has partnered with Nansen, a leading onchain analytics platform, to integrate real-time blockchain data and AI-powered insights into its news coverage, research, and social media content1. This collaboration aims to enhance the quality and transparency of crypto journalism by providing readers with actionable, data-driven intelligence on DeFi, Web3, and market trends1. The partnership marks a significant step toward more informed and credible reporting in the crypto industry, leveraging Nansen’s advanced analytics across Cointelegraph’s global newsroom1. Report: Justin Sun’s Tron Aims for Nasdaq Listing in High-Stakes Merger Deal Justin Sun’s Tron is set to go public on Nasdaq through a reverse merger with SRM Entertainment, a toy and merchandise company, in a deal valued up to $210 million that will see SRM rebranded as Tron Inc. and Sun serve as an advisor123. The transaction, orchestrated by Dominari Securities with close ties to the Trump family, involves SRM raising $100 million to acquire TRX tokens for its treasury, following a pause in SEC investigations into Sun34. This marks a significant move for Tron and highlights shifting U.S. regulatory attitudes toward crypto firms entering public markets through unconventional means45. The Legal Personhood of Decentralized Systems Decentralized systems like DAOs face major challenges fitting into global legal frameworks, as existing laws often treat them as general partnerships, exposing members to unlimited liability and tax risks if no formal structure is established. Several legal solutions have been proposed, such as Wyoming’s DUNA, the BORG framework, and blockchain-native governance models, but each has significant limitations and often cannot accommodate complex, real-world assets or operational needs. DUNAs, while offering a nonprofit legal wrapper, are criticized for being technology-specific and potentially allowing profit-like activities under a nonprofit label, raising regulatory and compliance concerns. Other frameworks, like BORGs and Q blockchain, are more technology-neutral but struggle with practical issues such as asset custody, compliance, and the ability to interact with traditional financial systems. The article suggests that some proposals may be motivated by large investors seeking to limit their own liability, rather than providing comprehensive solutions for the broader DAO ecosystem.
