Bankless - A podcast by Bankless
Categories:
This week in crypto, Trump’s new DeFi project sparked debate—is it legit or a grift? After the SEC, the CFTC targeted Uniswap—what’s going on with regulators? Brazil’s Twitter ban also made waves—what does it mean for free speech and crypto’s role in resisting censorship? Markets are asking if the 4-year cycle is dead, and Ryan has three takes on the lackluster crypto prices and what it could mean moving forward. On the bright side, Polymarket is now on the Bloomberg terminal, and Coinbase is looking to bank the robots—an exciting step for AI and crypto. ------ 📣 SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium ------ 🌊 KELP | Deposit ETH with Gain today https://kelpdao.xyz/gain/?utm_source=Bankless ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2 🦄UNISWAP | BROWSER EXTENSION https://bankless.cc/uniswap ⚡️ CARTESI | LINUX-POWERED ROLLUPS https://bankless.cc/CartesiGovernance 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle 🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT https://bankless.cc/toku ------ ✨ Mint the episode on Zora ✨ https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x0c294913a7596b427add7dcbd6d7bbfc7338d53f/58?referrer=0x077Fe9e96Aa9b20Bd36F1C6290f54F8717C5674E ------ TIMESTAMPS & RESOURCES 0:00 Intro 2:03 Markets https://x.com/Negentropic_/status/1830685688662040961 https://outlierventures.io/article/token-trendlines-2-bitcoin-halving-the-four-year-cycle-is-dead/ https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1831316995691671641 https://x.com/Fiskantes/status/1831302629651042637 https://x.com/SplitCapital/status/1831317921089642915 https://x.com/iamDCinvestor/status/1831318267367145492 18:30 Trump revealed more about his DeFi project, World Liberty Financial! https://www.worldlibertyfinancial.com/ https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1829141447087648796 https://x.com/lex_node/status/1831084542377206220 https://x.com/lex_node/status/1831105068952961399 https://x.com/nic__carter/status/1831145983847137451 https://x.com/worldlibertyfi/status/1831348462635397271 https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1829500453152837828 32:07 Brazil banned Twitter https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1829778143449698764 https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1831015509384364428 37:17 Binance exec Tigran Gambaryan entered Nigeria court on crutches https://x.com/_RichardTeng/status/1830869029705441553 41:47 Arbitrum released Stylus! https://x.com/arbitrum/status/1831020553211089243 https://x.com/joeykrug/status/1831367181885698392 43:30 Euler V2 is back! https://x.com/eulerfinance/status/1831331399619756375 48:03 Celestia releases technical roadmap https://blog.celestia.org/roadmap/ 48:39 Bloomberg added Polymarket election data to Terminal https://x.com/M_McDonough/status/1829166689516442043 https://x.com/shayne_coplan/status/1830984489259901203 50:13 CFTC charges Uniswap with illegal derivatives trading https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/8961-24 https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/SpeechesTestimony/phamstatement090424 https://x.com/MinarikLaw/status/1831363800542634459 53:11 AIs are now paying other AIs with crypto https://x.com/brian_armstrong/status/1829623778726592804 56:32 MEME of the Week https://x.com/TrustlessState/status/1831386476841726226 59:03 Closing & Disclaimers ------ Not financial or tax advice.
