Episode 66: Phil Graham, Harneys When I set out to do this show, my goal was to arm aspiring fund managers with the information they need to launch and operate a fund. In the legal realm, I happen to possess a lot of that information from my day job, but there's so much more that goes into launching and operating a fund. And wise though I may be, my area of expertise doesn't cover it all. So I'm going to bring in some friends to share their wisdom in various other aspects of fund management.  I am honored to have Phil Graham, Global Head of Investment Funds and Digital Assets at Harneys on the show today to talk to us about BVI funds law.  Key Points From This Episode: Why should I choose BVI over Cayman for my offshore fund?Does my fund always need to register with the local regulator?What does the registration process cost/involve?Brief rundown of the local regulatory requirements for a BVI fund.How should I choose the right offshore counsel?Creating pathways to regulatory compliance.What's the smartest thing a new fund manager can do? Disclaimer: This show is for informational purposes only.

Episode 65: The Zombie Episode (Three Rungs of the Regulatory Ladder) For as long as I've worked in crypto, the industry has been plagued by the dreaded REGULATORY UNCERTAINTY. That is, apparently, until the last couple months. All of a sudden I'm seeing clients putting stuff like “Regulatory Clarity Achieved!” in marketing decks and celebrating the demise of uncertainty's reign. Maybe pump the brakes a bit. I don't think we're quite there yet. The new SEC has certainly moved quickly to dismantle the anti-crypto reputation its predecessors cultivated, but it takes more than a vibe shift to achieve regulatory clarity. In today's episode, I analogize regulatory uncertainty to a zombie plague (obviously) and explain how regulation comes in three levels – kinda like a ladder leading you to salvation from the undead hordes surrounding you. I promise it'll make sense if you listen. Or it won't. Key Points From This Episode: Explaining the three rungs of the regulatory ladder, from the lowest to the highest: vibes; formal rulemaking; and legislation.What rung of the ladder are we on now?What kinds of zombies could still get us at this rung?How can we get higher up that ladder? Disclaimer: This show is for informational purposes only.

Would you ever keep a photo of a loved one taken after they died? Or wear a bracelet made from their hair? In this episode of Spirit Speakeasy, we're exploring some of the most haunting—and surprisingly heartfelt—mourning practices from the past.From Victorian post-mortem photography and death masks, to hair jewelry and family hair wreaths displayed in living rooms, these tangible tokens of grief may seem strange by today's standards… but they once carried deep spiritual, emotional, and cultural meaning.

In this series, Canon Maxwell leads a conversation about the central elements Christian faith as set forth in the Nicene and Apostles' Creeds. Using Rowan Williams' book, “Tokens of Trust,” Canon Maxwell will address questions like: What does it mean to believe in God? Can God possibly be almighty in the midst of so much evil and suffering? How am I to understand the meaning of Jesus Christ's ministry and resurrection? To what purpose is the church called? And what does it mean to follow Christ in today's broken world?

In this episode, Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch goes deep on how V0, their text-to-app platform, has already generated over 100 million applications and doubled Vercel's user base in under a year.Guillermo reveals how a tiny SWAT team inside Vercel built V0 from scratch, why “vibe coding” is making software creation accessible to everyone (not just engineers), and how the AI Cloud is automating DevOps, making cloud infrastructure self-healing, and letting companies expose their data to AI agents in just five lines of code.You'll hear why “every company will have to rethink itself as a token factory,” how Vercel's Next.js went from a conference joke to powering Walmart, Nike, and Midjourney, and why the next billion app creators might not write a single line of code. Guillermo breaks down the difference between vibe coding and agentic engineering, shares wild stories of users building apps from napkin sketches, and explains how Vercel is infusing “taste” and best practices directly into their AI models.We also dig into the business side: how Vercel's AI-powered products are driving explosive growth, why retention and margins are strong, and how the company is adapting to a new wave of non-technical users. Plus: the future of MCP servers, the security challenges of agent-to-agent communication, and why prompting and AI literacy are now must-have skills.VercelWebsite - https://vercel.comX/Twitter - https://x.com/vercelGuillermo RauchLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rauchgX/Twitter - https://x.com/rauchgFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) Intro (02:08) What Is V0 and Why Did It Take Off So Fast?

Episode 63: Hedge Fund Offering Terms, Part 2: Liquidity Today is the second in a series of Tokens of Wisdom episodes walking through the main offering terms for an open-ended fund, aka a hedge fund.  One of the first things I do with new fund clients is take them through a fund questionnaire to determine the offering terms for their new fund. This is usually a one hour conversation, at the end of which I have most of what I need to draft the fund's offering documents. Since I know ToW listeners like it short and sweet, I'm going to break this up into a handful of different episodes. Today's episode discusses liquidity terms. Key Points From This Episode: How do hedge fund managers think about liquidity provisions?What's the tension between manager and investor?Common liquidity restrictions/mechanisms.What variables are relevant for each mechanism? Disclaimer: This show is for informational purposes only.

Summary   In this episode, Wayne Marcel hosts Bruno Sessions and Jeremy to discuss the launch of Bitcoinciaga, a unique apparel brand that integrates cryptocurrency and community engagement.

Tokenomics are designed to incentivize early adopters. AI technology will play a role in community engagement and education.

Bitcoin is a powerful brand statement. Using Bitcoin's brand can foster business innovation. Token distribution models can incentivize community engagement. The X-verse wallet supports various Bitcoin-related tokens. Community building is essential in the crypto space. DeFi offers endless possibilities for token utility.

We use up our remaining MTA MetroCard credit this week for a sit-down with baseball author/historian Chris Donnelly — whose new book "Get Your Tokens Ready: The Late 1990s Road to the Subway Series" represents the final installment of his intriguing trilogy charting the divergent, yet intertwined sagas of the Mets and Yankees from the mid-1980s through 2000's historic “Subway Series.” Donnelly's previous works — "Doc, Donnie, the Kid, and Billy Brawl: How the 1985 Mets and Yankees Fought for New York's Baseball Soul" and "Road to Nowhere: The Early 1990s Collapse and Rebuild of New York City Baseball" — set the stage.   But now, with “Tokens,” he delivers the most in-depth look ever at how the late-1990s Yankees rose to dynasty status while the Mets clawed their way back from irrelevance — culminating in a tightly contested World Series showdown that defined a generation of New York baseball fans. We explore how the Yankees became the undisputed kings of New York, the Mets' dramatic resurgence, and what the 2000 cross-town showdown meant for the city's baseball soul -- some four decades after the Giants and Dodgers abandoned Gotham for the California coast.  + + +    SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/good-seats-still-avalable?ref_id=35106 BUY THE BOOKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!):   "Get Your Tokens Ready: The Late 1990s Road to the Subway Series": https://amzn.to/3HBihSD  "Road to Nowhere: The Early 1990s Collapse and Rebuild of New York City Baseball": https://amzn.to/4koT4cR "Doc, Donnie, the Kid, and Billy Brawl: How the 1985 Mets and Yankees Fought for New York's Baseball Soul": https://amzn.to/3StBKan   SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats   Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old Fort Baseball Co.

Lex chats with Stani Kulechov - founder and CEO of Aave, a leading decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol. They explore the evolution of DeFi, Aave's growth, and its architectural shift from a peer-to-peer model to pooled liquidity. Stani reflects on the early days of DeFi, the impact of the FTX collapse, and the increasing adoption of DeFi over centralized exchanges. They discuss Aave's strategies for attracting assets, the importance of capital efficiency, and future innovations, including the tokenization of real-world assets and the role of stablecoins. Notable discussion points: 1. Aave Reaches $40 Billion in Net Deposits: Stani Kulechov shared that Aave has achieved a record-breaking $40 billion in net deposits and $25 billion in active liquidity, making it the largest DeFi lending protocol ever by total value locked (TVL). 2. DeFi's Evolution from Peer-to-Peer to Liquidity Hubs: The conversation detailed Aave's architectural shift from early peer-to-peer lending models to pooled liquidity and now to a hub-and-spoke model with Aave V4 — designed to balance capital efficiency and risk segregation for both native crypto and real-world assets (RWAs). 3. The Rise of Real-World Assets and Stablecoins in DeFi: Kulechov emphasized that tokenized real-world assets (like treasuries) and decentralized stablecoins (such as Aave's GHO) are reshaping the DeFi landscape, predicting RWAs will outgrow both stablecoins and native crypto assets in total value locked within five years. MENTIONED IN THE CONVERSATION Topics: Aave, Lens Protocol, GHO, Horizon, FTX, Project Guardian, AaveDAO, MakerDAO, Web3, DeFi, Lending, stablecoins, tokens, RWA, decentralized finance, capital markets, DAO, Digital Assets ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT
