Euler is a DeFi lending protocol built around the idea of permissionless modularity, enabling users to lend and borrow almost any crypto asset with flexible, permissionless pools, tailored to individual risk profiles. Moreover, Euler Vault Kit (EVK) and Ethereum Vault Connector (EVC) enable the creation of custom lending vaults which, in turn, can be used as collateral for other vaults. Earlier this year Euler also announced EulerSwap, a new DEX with a built-in AMM powered by Euler's lending infrastructure and integrated with Uniswap v4's hook architecture. EulerSwap integrates directly with Euler's lending vaults, allowing assets to be used across multiple pools. This turns the lending protocol into a shared liquidity layer, improving capital efficiency across the ecosystem via swaps, lending yield or collateral for borrowing other assets.Topics covered in this episode:Michael's backgroundThe history & vision behind EulerThe Euler hackEuler V2Euler vs. other lending protocolsDiversifying offeringsVariable vs. fixed ratesHow Pendle worksEuler's futureRWAsPrivacy in DeFiEuler roadmapThe impact of AI in DeFiEpisode links:Michael Bentley on XEuler on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Avalanche (AVAX) is once again testing a critical resistance zone, this time with stronger momentum behind it. After several failed breakout attempts, the $27 level is beginning to show signs of weakening. Bullish indicators are stacking up, fueling speculation that AVAX could finally push higher. For now, traders are watching closely to see if this run sets off a broader rally—or if the resistance zone delivers yet another rejection.~This Episode is Sponsored By Coinbase~ Buy $50 & Get $50 for getting started on Coinbase➜ https://bit.ly/CBARRONGuest: Tim Warren, Host of Investing BrozInvesting Broz Youtube ➜ / @timwarrentrades Follow on Twitter ➜ @tims_ta 00:00 Intro00:10 Sponsor: Coinbase00:50 50bps incoming02:15 Mohamed El-Erian: Companies can't pass as much of the price increase as they want05:34 Tom Lee: September surprise10:00 AVAX Breakout?15:20 AVAX price prediction17:45 Solana $300 soon?19:45 Ethereum analysis22:10 Polygon analysis25:30 Ronin x $OP26:50 $OP analysis30:00 $HOOD a buy?32:35 Uniswap analysis34:55 Better buy Sui or Chainlink today?37:30 Outro#Crypto #AVAX #Ethereum~$AVAX Breakout!?

In this episode, Lex speaks with Marcelo Ruiz de Olano, Co-Founder of KPK (Karpatkey), an on-chain asset management firm born out of Gnosis DAO. Marcelo recounts KPK's evolution from stewarding Gnosis's $1B treasury to advising on more than $2B for leading protocols like ENS, Balancer, and the Ethereum Foundation. The discussion dives into the mechanics of non-custodial treasury management - balancing governance, security, and risk - along with strategies across lending, liquidity provision, and stablecoin yields. Marcelo also shares why the rise of large Ethereum treasury companies could be a turning point for DeFi, injecting institutional-scale liquidity and potentially making ETH more liquid than Bitcoin. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS:Origins and Scale of On-Chain Treasury ManagementKPK spun out of Gnosis DAO, which had one of the earliest and largest on-chain treasuries (~$1B). From there, KPK evolved into an independent manager now advising on over $2B of DAO and foundation treasuries (ENS, Balancer, Ethereum Foundation, etc.), pioneering non-custodial, fully on-chain asset management practices.Conservative, Mission-Driven Approach vs. Yield-ChasingUnlike many DeFi actors during “DeFi Summer,” KPK deliberately rejected risky high-yield strategies. Instead, they prioritized capital preservation and mission alignment—for example, ensuring ENS's treasury only supports Ethereum-strengthening initiatives (like minority client staking or avoiding centralization risks). This contrarian, values-driven approach built trust and positioned them as long-term stewards of DeFi treasuries.Transformative Potential of Ethereum Treasury CompaniesMarcelo highlights that emerging Ethereum treasury firms (similar to MicroStrategy's BTC play) could deploy $10B+ in ETH treasuries. A single such “mega whale” could inject unprecedented liquidity into DeFi—making ETH potentially more liquid than BTC, bootstrapping entire verticals (DEX liquidity, lending, insurance), and creating a flywheel where treasury strategies directly accelerate Ethereum's adoption and price stability.

John is joined by Avichal Garg, Managing Partner of Electric Capital and Chairman of the Crypto Council for Innovation, and Emily Kapur, Co-Chair of Quinn Emanuel's Blockchain & Digital Asset Litigation Practice and partner in the firm's Silicon Valley office. They discuss the complex legal and regulatory landscape surrounding cryptocurrency, digital assets, and the intersection with emerging technologies like AI. The decentralization and autonomy of crypto systems challenges traditional legal concepts. Crypto technology—ranging from permissionless innovation to autonomous systems—raises foundational legal questions about jurisdiction, liability, and personhood, especially when code may function as both speech and money. While early legal battles focused on whether tokens are securities, today's disputes often focus on jurisdictional issues and cross-border liability for autonomous systems with governance distributed around the world. U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoins, while posing regulatory and competitive challenges, may also be an unparalleled tool for promoting U.S. soft power and economic influence. They can bypass traditional banking systems and reach global users, reinforcing the dollar's dominance. The recently enacted GENIUS Act provides a framework for regulating stablecoins in the U.S. without imposing restrictive reserve requirements, in contrast to European approaches. The rapid evolution of crypto trading venues—centralized exchanges like Coinbase, decentralized protocols like Uniswap, and traditional financial instruments such as ETFs and digital asset treasuries—highlight the legal uncertainty about which regulatory entities have jurisdiction. The increasing use of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) poses additional challenges under theories that all participants in a DAO are potentially liable as partners in a joint venture. More legal innovation is needed, perhaps even entirely new legal entities or frameworks, to accommodate a future in which autonomous code can hold assets, transact, and potentially commit fraud. Courts may begin to shape precedent in the absence of legislation, but a proactive regulatory approach or legal sandbox might be the key to responsibly managing these potentially disruptive forces. Ultimately, the question is whether the law will domesticate crypto or will crypto force legal innovation?Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Crypto's privacy war isn't simmering anymore. It's blowing wide open. What began as a digital experiment has morphed into something closer to a modern-day Reformation. An uprising against centralized power, driven not by scripture, but by code. From Brussels to Washington, authorities are drafting their own theses. More KYC. Fewer privacy tools. A coordinated effort to strip anonymity from the system. But the crypto world isn't kneeling. For many, financial freedom means self-custody, not compliance. It means privacy by design, not by permission. As someone who has long followed this space and considers XRP one of the most fascinating and resilient projects in the ecosystem, I have watched these battles unfold with growing concern. This isn't just about coins or code. It is about whether digital privacy survives the crusade against it or gets excommunicated entirely. Why Crypto Was Always About Privacy When Bitcoin launched in 2009, it wasn't just about making money. It was a protest. A way to flip the script on centralized banks, bloated institutions, and the people who controlled your financial life. Crypto's early adopters were rebels. The ideas behind it? Pseudonymity, freedom from censorship, and control over your own funds. Privacy coins like Monero and Zcash weren't shady outliers. They were the purest version of the original dream. Self-custody wallets let people hold their own keys. No middlemen. No questions asked. It made sense for a movement born from libertarian roots, where freedom from surveillance was sacred. But that dream is now under threat. The threat is not from hackers, but from the very systems crypto tried to escape. Why Crypto Scares Governments Governments never like a system they can't watch or tax. That's where the friction started. The European Union rolled out its Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, aiming for comprehensive oversight. The United Kingdom pushed its financial promotions regime, tightening the reins on crypto marketing. And the US Treasury? It's making aggressive moves to bring Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements to the forefront of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platforms. Their stated reasons sound reasonable: they want to stop money laundering, terrorism financing, and tax evasion. A critical distinction exists between fighting genuine crime and effectively criminalizing financial privacy for all. However, that line is indeed getting increasingly blurry. Crackdown measures against privacy coins are ramping up with alarming speed. Monero and Zcash, once mainstays, have been delisted from major exchanges as compliance pressures mount. Developers of privacy-focused wallets now face legal threats and increasing scrutiny. Even established tools like Wasabi Wallet are blocking users in certain regions, demonstrating the immediate impact of these regulatory shifts. Crypto's privacy tools are no longer merely innovative instruments; they have become targets in a broader regulatory crackdown, pushing the boundaries of individual financial freedom. The ongoing pressure is forcing the crypto ecosystem to adapt, often by compromising on the very privacy features that were once central to its appeal. KYC vs. DeFi: The Fight Over Self-Custody KYC means Know Your Customer. It's how banks check who you are, verifying identities to prevent illicit activities. However, in the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape, where no single entity controls the platform, the question of who performs this checking remains unanswered, much to the discomfort of regulators. Decentralized platforms like Uniswap lack a central off switch or a single point of control, making traditional enforcement mechanisms ineffective. Tornado Cash, for instance, did not simply vanish after sanctions were imposed; its code remained open-source and operational, a testament to the resilient nature of decentralization. This inherent characteristic makes enforcing KYC in DeFi incredibly challenging. It is also precisely wh...
Send us a textThe cryptocurrency onboarding experience remains a critical bottleneck for mainstream adoption, with the entire Web3 ecosystem claiming just 370 million monthly active users compared to Meta's staggering 3.9 billion. How do we bridge this massive gap?Harshit Gangwar, Head of Marketing and Investor Relations at Transak, joins us to reveal how they've built the infrastructure powering crypto purchases for millions through MetaMask, Ledger, Uniswap, and 450+ other applications across 100+ countries. With $2 billion in processed volume and backing from consensus, Visa, and Mastercard, Transak offers unique insights into building trust at the intersection of decentralized and traditional finance."Finding the right messaging and understanding in the early stages that it's going to be different and accepting that as a fact is very much important," Harshit explains as he unpacks their dual communication strategy. Web3 natives and traditional financial institutions require completely different approaches – from platform selection (Twitter vs. LinkedIn) to messaging tone and compliance considerations across multiple regulatory jurisdictions.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Harshit reveals how Transak is evolving beyond simple crypto purchases to enable stablecoin-powered remittances and cross-border payments. By building the necessary infrastructure – including licenses, banking partnerships, risk engines, and KYC systems – they're creating real-world utility that even traditional financial institutions are beginning to recognize.For Web3 marketers, Harshit leaves us with a powerful reminder: "Marketers need to take that role in their companies to understand what's happening in the industry and drive real change." The most effective marketing leaders in this space aren't just creating content – they're deeply understanding both the technology and customer needs to help shape product direction and business strategy.Join us for this enlightening conversation about building trust, navigating regulation, and creating the infrastructure that will help bring the next billion users into Web3.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on June 18, 2025.
