In this episode, Lex speaks Friederike Ernst, co-founder of Gnosis. Together, they explore the evolution of Gnosis from an Ethereum-based prediction market project into a major infrastructure provider powering over $100 billion in DAO treasuries and $10–15 billion in monthly DEX trading via CowSwap. Tracing the company's journey from a 2017 ICO raising $12.5 million in ETH (now worth ~$450 million) to spinning out critical tools like Safe, CowSwap, and Zodiac, all originally built for internal use.Despite their success, Gnosis recognizes that the crypto-native user base is limited and has now pivoted to building user-centric, mainstream products like the upcoming Gnosis App targeting Gen Z with real-world financial utility. The company emphasizes its founding mission of democratizing financial ownership and warns against complacency as incumbents like Stripe and Robinhood enter the space. Lastly, Gnosis sees a near-term opportunity in AI-agent driven commerce, especially through reverse advertising models that could unlock trillion-dollar markets.NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS:The $12.5M ICO That Became a $450M Treasury: Gnosis raised $12.5 million in ETH during their 2017 ICO when ETH was trading at $40. Through conservative treasury management and holding their ETH position, that initial raise has sustained the company for nearly a decade and grown to approximately $450 million today. Friederike attributes this to “conservative treasury management and sheer luck” — a remarkable case study in long-term crypto treasury stewardship.Polymarket Runs on Gnosis Infrastructure: Despite Polymarket's $10B+ valuation and mainstream recognition, it still uses Gnosis's conditional token framework that was written years ago. Friederike acknowledges being “a little salty” that infrastructure they built powers such a significant share of the on-chain prediction market economy without Gnosis directly benefiting financially. It's a stark illustration of the “first up the mountain” dynamic where pioneers clear the path but don't always capture the value.The 19th Century German Banking Parallel: Friederike draws a compelling historical analogy: impoverished German farmers in the 1800s faced predatory moneylenders charging 25-40% interest. They responded by forming collective community banks, lending to each other at 4-6%. Within decades, tens of thousands existed, and one-third of Germans remain members today. She positions crypto's ownership model as the modern equivalent — a cooperative financial revolution for a generation economically disenfranchised by incumbent systems.TOPICSGnosis, Gnosis Safe, CowSwap, Zodiac, CPK, Polymarket, Kalshi, ConsenSys, Ethereum, ETH, AI, AI Agents, ICO, Onchain, Governance, Crypto Treasury, Web3, Blockchain, Finance, Banking, Payments, Custody, WalletsABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

After the GENIUS Act was enacted, the U.S. Treasury issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to gather public and industry input before drafting implementing regulations. Some of the most influential submissions came from major banking and traditional finance associations, outlining how they believe U.S. stablecoin regulation should look.J.W. Verret, Associate Professor of Law at the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University, submitted a detailed rebuttal pushing back on the banks' expansive interpretation of statutory authority and their call to ban “indirect yield.”We talk about that in this episode.

Fobi AI CEO Rob Anson outlines how the company maintained operational progress during the past year, streamlining its structure, modernizing internal systems with AI, reducing costs, and preparing for a more commercially focused relaunch. Instead of losing momentum, the company concentrated on building a stronger, more scalable foundation for its next phase of growth.Fobi has transitioned from a collection of standalone technologies into a professional-services-driven platform built around AI-powered reporting, mobile wallet strategy, and Web3-ready applications.REINVENTION THROUGH COST DISCIPLINE AND AI INFRASTRUCTUREA major theme is how Fobi used this period to reset its cost base and refine its revenue model. The company narrowed its operational footprint, strengthened its data-reporting capabilities, and moved toward higher-margin service engagements supported by a proprietary LLM environment that accelerates internal analyses and client delivery.A significant step involved optimizing the audit process to improve efficiency and predictability. Audit expenses had previously exceeded $1 million over two years, and the transition to a new auditor is expected to create a more streamlined path forward.“We've put ourselves in a far more efficient position than we've ever been in — and at a fraction of the cost.” — Rob Anson, CEOEARLY SIGNS OF COMMERCIAL MOMENTUMWhile limited in what it can disclose, Anson indicates that the business continued progressing throughout 2025. Several dynamics appear to be strengthening Fobi's market position:• Growing demand from enterprises seeking mobile wallet integration and data modernization • Increased use of Fobi's AI-driven reporting automation • Rising joint-venture discussions combining licensing, IP, and professional services • A more scalable cost structure supported by a leaner operating modelPREPARING FOR A STRATEGIC MARKET RE-ENTRYWith major internal milestones nearing completion, Fobi has a full brand refresh ready — including updated products, corporate materials, and new client use cases — to deploy once the company is able to communicate more broadly. Many shareholders have not yet seen how extensively the business has transformed.OUTLOOK: A LEANER, MORE FOCUSED ENTERPRISE SOLUTION PROVIDERFor investors evaluating turnaround narratives, the interview highlights decisive cost management, proprietary AI infrastructure, a pivot toward professional services, and continued commercial activity. As the company completes its remaining steps and begins its next phase, Fobi is positioning itself with a stronger foundation for long-term enterprise growth.

Portfolio Manager at Animoca Brands and former Chief Investment Officer at Node Capital, Shan Han joins Jeremy Au to trace his path from Hong Kong trading to fintech and Web3, discuss how early crypto grew from ideology, and explain why tokenizing assets like student loans can unlock education across Southeast Asia. They explore how customer urgency validates real problems, how global liquidity reshapes emerging markets, and how regulation and permissioned systems will define the future of crypto. Shan also reflects on leaving hedge funds to build companies that solve urgent needs. 06:00 First startup taught real founder lessons: Shan overbuilt the product and underinvested in speaking to customers, which he now sees as his biggest early mistake. 09:00 ICO wave created opportunity and chaos: Node Capital traded markets and backed early tokens as crypto cycles repeated with massive upside and sharp crashes. 10:00 SME lending proved a painkiller need: Borrowers called him for loans before a product even existed, showing that real demand always leads. 14:00 Tokenized student loans expand access: Global liquidity meets local underwriting so students in the Philippines and Indonesia receive financing they previously could not access. 14:55 Benefits emerge for investors, lenders, and borrowers: On-chain capital finds high-quality yield, local lenders scale faster, and students get more affordable financing. 17:15 Blockchain reshapes student loan markets: Unified liquidity, alternative credit models, and on-chain verification make lending systems more efficient and more inclusive. 22:00 Every major asset will become tokenized: Stablecoins lead the way, followed by T Bills and real-world assets as liquidity and tradability improve. 29:00 Courage means leaving comfort for impact: Shan left a hedge fund he loved to build companies because solving real problems mattered more than staying safe.

Original Release Date: October 31, 2025Our Japan Financials Analyst Mia Nagasaka discusses how the country's new stablecoin regulations and digital payments are set to transform the flow of money not only locally, but globally.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mia Nagasaka, Head of Japan Financials Research at Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities. Today – Japan's stablecoin revolution and why it matters to global investors. It's Friday, October 31st, at 4pm in Tokyo. Japan may be late to the crypto market. But its first yen-denominated stablecoin is just around the corner. And it has the potential to quietly reshape how digital money moves across the country and globally. You may have heard of digital money like Bitcoin. It's significantly more volatile than traditional financial assets like stocks and bonds. Stablecoins are different. They are digital currencies designed to maintain a stable value by being pegged to assets such as the yen or U.S. dollar. And in June 2023, Japan amended its Payment Services Acts to create a legal framework for stablecoins. Market participants in Japan and abroad are watching closely whether the JPY stablecoin can establish itself as a major global digital currency, such as Tether. Stablecoins promise to make payments faster, cheaper, and available 24/7. Japan's cashless payment ratio jumped from about 30 percent in 2020 to 43 percent in 2024, and there's still room to grow compared to other countries. The government's push for fintech and digital payments is accelerating, and stablecoins could be the missing link to a truly digital economy. Unlike Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, stablecoins are designed to suppress price volatility. They're managed by private companies and backed by assets—think cash, government bonds, or even commodities like gold. Industry watchers think stablecoins can make digital payments as reliable as cash, but with the speed and flexibility of the internet. Japan's regulatory approach is strict: stablecoins must be 100 percent backed by high-quality, liquid assets, and algorithmic stablecoins are prohibited. Issuers must meet transparency and reserve requirements, and monthly audits are standard. This is similar to new rules in the U.S., EU, and Hong Kong. What does this mean in practice? Financial institutions are exploring stablecoins for instant payments, asset management, and lending. For example, real-time settlement of stock and bond trades normally take days. These transactions could happen in seconds with stablecoins. They also enable new business models like Banking-as-a-Service and Web3 integration, although regulatory costs and low interest rates remain hurdles for profitability.Or think about SWIFT transactions, the backbone of international payments. Stablecoins will not replace SWIFT, but they can supplement it. Payments that used to take days can now be completed in seconds, with up to 80 percent lower fees. But trust in issuers and compliance with anti-money laundering rules are critical. There's another topic on top of investors' minds. CBDCs – Central Bank Digital Currencies. Both stablecoins and CBDCs are digital. But digital currencies are issued by central banks and considered legal tender, whereas stablecoins are private-sector innovations. Japan is the world's fourth-largest economy and considered a leader in technology. But it takes a cautious approach to financial transformation. It is preparing for a CBDC but hasn't committed to launching one yet. If and when that happens, stablecoins and CBDCs can coexist, with the digital currency serving as public infrastructure and stablecoins driving innovation. So, what's the bottom line? Japan's stablecoin journey is just beginning, but its impact could ripple across payments, asset management, and even global finance. Thanks for listening.

In this episode, I sit down with Wojciech Kaszycki — serial entrepreneur, business angel behind 19+ ventures, and the mind behind both Mobilium and BTCS.Wojciech shares how he went from building one of Poland's earliest e‑commerce platforms to pioneering fintech and crypto infrastructure. We explore why his teams focus on building real, regulated bridges between traditional finance and digital assets — not just hype.We dig into how Mobilium plans to let you use Bitcoin as collateral to spend or borrow against, and how BTCS builds a treasury + validator network to bring yield and Web3 services to a wider audience.He also gives practical advice for founders and investors: why a crowded “yes” may be a warning sign — and why sometimes it's the weird, rejected ideas that deserve to be built.If you care about honest, long-term crypto infrastructure and what it takes to build it — this one's for you.It would mean a lot if you can leave a review of this podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify — and share this podcast with a friend.

The crypto markets have been battered over the past several weeks with Bitcoin sinking from six-figure highs to the low-$80Ks, more than a trillion dollars wiped from crypto's total market cap and record ETF outflows shaking investor sentiment. Unlike previous drawdowns triggered by blow-ups or bad actors, this downturn is different: It's macro-driven, liquidity-driven and deeply tied to broader global markets.In this episode of Byte-Sized Insight we hear from the author of “Crypto is Macro Now,” Noelle Acheson; co-founder and CEO of LO:TECH, Tim Meggs; and author of “The Crypto Trader,” Glen Goodman, to help break down the forces behind the volatility and offer clear, grounded perspective for navigating the turbulence.(0:24) Bitcoin plunges from $120K to $80K and the market wipes out $1.2 trillion(1:08) Why this downturn feels different from past crashes(2:55) Noelle Acheson explains why the dip is “a blip” and liquidity-driven(3:52) How macro sentiment, not crypto-specific issues, is driving this correction(4:59) Why this drawdown isn't systemic like 2017 or 2022(6:03) Bitcoin dominance drops during the downturn  and why that's never happened before(7:38) Noelle breaks down “short-term noise vs. long-term debasement thesis”(10:28) Tim Meggs: Why this drawdown is slow, measured, and institution-driven(12:05) Inside the market: What liquidity providers look for during stress (13:22) Signs of stabilization and why healthy corrections matter(15:41) Glen Goodman: How institutional money changed the structure of crypto cycles(20:34) Why today's downturn lacks a narrative and why that weakens crypto rallies(23:04) Survival rules: managing leverage, mental resilience & “reduce to the sleeping point”This episode was hosted and produced by Savannah Fortis, @savannah_fortis.Follow Cointelegraph on X @Cointelegraph.Check out Cointelegraph at cointelegraph.com.If you like what you heard, rate us and leave a review!The views, thoughts and opinions expressed in this podcast are its participants alone and do not necessarily reflect or represent the views and opinions of Cointelegraph.

For episode 228, we have something special in store. In Web3, we spend a lot of time talking about potential: what blockchain could unlock for climate, aid, finance, or human rights. And those conversations matter because they help shape the future.But today, I want to cut through the noise and focus on what's happening right now.All around the world, builders, nonprofits, and communities are already using crypto rails to move money faster, more transparently, and more equitably than ever before. Real people are feeling the impact. Lives are changing. And these stories often go unheard.So in this special episode, I'm sharing eight powerful clips from past conversations; moments that highlight the human stories behind the tech, and the tangible impact being made today.You'll learn:

Welcome back to the People's Guild.We're back with a brand-new episode of TPG, and today we're joined by a fresh face in the Splinterlands community: @teammtgjedi. Many will know him from the Grand Prix, where he first dipped his toes into the game — but he's also a long-time strategy gamer, seasoned content creator, and now… a budding Splinterlands convert.In this episode, we walk through his first impressions of the game, the learning curve, rental strategies, Ghost Modern exploration, the rating system, and what it feels like for a new player to step into our ecosystem. We also dive into the broader gaming world he comes from, including his work as a board game designer. His latest project — a fast, fantasy-themed math-strategy title — is currently live on Kickstarter, and you can check it out here:Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alariaquest/alaria-quest-the-goblin-kings-dungeonSideQuest Games: https://sidequestgamesllc.com/It's a fun conversation, a fresh perspective, and a great reminder of how Splinterlands can feel through new eyes.Enjoy!

Welcome back to the People's Guild.Today's episode brings another deep-dive installment of Under the Hood, the newest show under the TPG banner — hosted by @keeegs. This series breaks down the systems, structures, and decision-making processes behind the Splinterlands DAO, giving the community a clearer look at how governance, funding, and long-term planning actually take shape.In this conversation, @keeegs sits down with @mattclarke and @bjangles to unpack the inner mechanics of the DAO Foundation, the multi-sig structure, and how legal responsibilities intersect with on-chain governance. They explore the origins of the Foundation, how directors are selected, the challenges of maintaining trust and transparency, and the future direction of Chairman bounties. From there, the discussion moves into the ongoing effort to define a DAO constitution or governance framework — what it should do, what it shouldn't do, and how it could help guide proposals without restricting community creativity.The episode also touches on the role of the DAO in game development, the boundaries between community voting and team authority, and the importance of clearly defining jurisdiction so the DAO's efforts remain focused and impactful. Finally, the group explores long-term contract stability for Splinterlands development, DEC volatility, and ways to improve the proposal experience for players.Below is everything that went down in the newest episode of Under the Hood.Enjoy!

October 2025 shook the crypto world. Bitcoin crashed harder than any October since 2015, someone accidentally minted $300 trillion in stablecoins, and traditional banks started an all-out war against crypto companies trying to get federal charters. Tedd Huff, founder of Fintech Confidential and CEO of fintech advisory firm Voalyre, sits down with Rob Musiala, partner at Baker Hostetler who co-leads The Blockchain Monitor, to break down what moved Web3 when it mattered most. They walk through why stablecoins just crushed major card networks with $2.6 trillion in annual volume, how Western Union suddenly decided blockchain payments make sense, and what the Genius Act really means for everyone trying to operate in this space. This isn't theory. Banks are fighting to protect their turf while crypto infrastructure gets bought up for billions. The conversation covers enforcement crackdowns, court rulings that actually matter, regulatory battles over OCC charters, and why sitting this one out stopped being an option months ago. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1️⃣ Financial institutions must evaluate make-or-buy decisions on stablecoin infrastructure before competitors capture market share as platforms offering blockchain-based payments already process volumes exceeding major card networks. 2️⃣ Developers building on Ethereum layer-2 solutions can expect 30-60% lower transaction fees after Fusaka activates December 3rd, allowing projects to adjust pricing models or capture improved margins. 3️⃣ Stablecoin issuers, custodians, payment facilitators, and exchanges face different compliance requirements based on their specific business models under the Genius Act framework. 4️⃣ Retail investors and traders experienced 60-80% losses across major meme coins during October, while newcomers like Mini U and MemeCore surged during the same downturn. 5️⃣ Businesses operating cross-border payments between Japan and international markets gain new infrastructure as institutions push toward 10 trillion yen stablecoin circulation targets.

I sat down with Michael Sena to explore how we'll start trusting AI agents with real‑world responsibilities — from crypto trading to enterprise workflows. We talk about his Web3 roots, the genesis of the concept behind skill markets, and how his project is creating transparency and performance benchmarks in a rapidly evolving AI ecosystem. If you've ever wondered how to evaluate an agent, give one control of money, or build one yourself — this episode gives you a front‑row seat.Key Learnings[00:01:00] Michael's journey: from discovering Bitcoin in 2011 to diving into Web3 identity protocols and ultimately shifting to AI skill‑markets.[00:04:00] What the company does: a “decentralised skill market” where AI agents are tested, ranked, and evaluated on real‑world skills.[00:06:00] The central problem: how do you trust an AI you hand your crypto portfolio to, or a business process you delegate?[00:10:00] Why benchmarks often fall short: static tests, academic settings, and hype don't always align with real‑world performance.[00:12:00] The role of agents vs. foundation models: many new AIs will specialise, and evaluation will need to keep up.[00:17:00] Why blockchain? For coordination, capital‑signalling, transparency and enabling open skill‑markets with economic incentives.[00:24:00] Most traction today: crypto‑trading agents, but enterprise and internal tooling evaluations are growing fast.[00:35:00] Roadmap highlights: token launch, permissionless market creation, verifiable AI execution via partnerships, and more.[00:39:00] How you can get involved: as a builder, curator, or user — open to anyone with interest and energy.Connecthttps://x.com/recallnethttps://recall.network/https://discord.com/invite/recallnethttps://www.linkedin.com/company/recalllabs/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/msena/https://x.com/dataliquidity DisclaimerNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research. It would mean a lot if you can leave a review of this podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify and share this podcast with a friend.Get featuredBe a guest on the podcast or contact us – https://www.web3pod.xyz/

Welcome back to the People's Guild.This episode brings another installment of Under the Hood, the newest show under the TPG banner — hosted by @keeegs. Under the Hood takes a closer look at the inner workings of the Splinterlands DAO: how decisions form, how proposals evolve, and how the systems shaping the game's future continue to improve.In this conversation, Dave and Keeegs dive into the early foundation of a potential DAO constitutional framework — discussing how to protect the ecosystem, support DEC/SPS, and keep entry affordable for new players. They explore the idea of community representatives and voting delegation to better balance the needs of whales and smaller players. The discussion moves into proposal-process improvements, including draft phases, clearer communication, and how a standardized, recurring set-development contract could provide stability for both the DAO and the company.All told, it's a deep, detail-rich look at how the DAO, the team, and the community can continue building a healthier, more transparent governance and gameplay ecosystem.Enjoy!
