Fireside with Chris Giancarlo (ex-CFTC Chairman, Patomak) breaking down stablecoins, digital dollars, sovereign money + the reg landscape.
Giancarlo's one of the few who actually gets it from both sides—TradFi regulatory frameworks meeting crypto rails. If you're building in stables or watching the digital dollar narrative, this convo hits different.
Key themes: where US policy is headed, what sovereign CBDCs mean for decentralized stables, and how regs will shape the next wave of liquidity infrastructure.
Not your typical fluff panel. Real alpha for builders and macro watchers.
Polkadot's founder @gavofyork loves talking trash about $ETH, but where's the delivery? Ecosystem's bleeding, TVL's anemic, and the narrative's gone cold.
Core thesis: Ethereum becomes THE public infrastructure for global digital assets. Not just DeFi playground, but the settlement layer everything runs on.
Full breakdown in my @ethconf talk. This isn't hopium, it's structural demand modeling.
If you're not positioned for institutional capital flows into on-chain rails, you're missing the entire cycle thesis.
What actually matters: • Deep liquidity (no slippage nightmares) • Security that doesn't rug you • Execution speed when milliseconds = profit • Full stack: staking, launchpads, futures, earn
But here's the thing—features mean nothing if the platform can't be trusted.
