Marisa Tashman, policy counsel at Blockchain Association, analyzes the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) decision to name nine tokens as securities and investigate whether Coinbase lists securities.

Show highlights:

why the SEC named tokens as securities in an insider trading case where no exchanges or token teams are listed as defendants
what happens if the Coinbase insider trading case is settled or goes to court
why the SEC’s actions should be considered “regulation by enforcement”
whether there is any process to force the SEC to reveal its reasoning for calling a token a security
why Marisa thinks the SEC is actively harming US investors with its crypto policy
how Coinbase is handling the SEC’s investigation
what Marisa thinks of Coinbase’s listing process
why the Cynthia Lummis-led crypto regulatory framework is a good start
what Marisa believes will happen in the crypto regulatory landscape in the near future

Ryan Berckmans, Ethereum investor and community member, and Alexandre Bergeron, Bitcoin investor, discuss Lido’s dominance as a liquid staking provider, whether that issue can be resolved, and how it could be a centralizing force for Ethereum. Show highlights:

what stETH is, what the uses cases are for stETH, and why it is important
how Lido had a first-mover advantage and how that kicked off network effects
whether the liquid staking derivatives system is one of a “winner-take-all”
how much of the staked ETH will be turned into a liquid staking derivative
how Lido might have a huge MEV opportunity after the Merge
what the proposer-builder separation is
whether Lido's dominance will increase over time
whether other competitors have been competitive with Lido
why Lido is a natural monopoly because of the incentives and MEV opportunities
what the implication of Lido’s monopoly is for Ethereum’s censorship resistance
whether Lido is effectively a single entity despite having multiple node operators
whether there could be a long waiting period for becoming a validator after the Merge
how Lido is moving its staking derivatives to other chains
how Lido’s new dual-governance proposal works, why it might be useful to decentralize Lido and whether it reduces the power of LDO token holders
how Lido’s centralization is the biggest threat to Ethereum in the long term and what are the possible solutions
why Ryan believes the value of ETH comes from its credible neutrality and whether Lido's centralization may jeopardize that
whether finding solutions around MEV opportunities is a good way to reduce Lido’s monopoly
whether Lido’s competitors could form an alliance and build a tokenized basket of their staking derivatives to compete with Lido
whether Lido could airdrop the LDO token to all ETH holders to decentralize its governance token

Hasu, strategic advisor to Lido, and Tarun Chitra, founder of Gauntlet, explain everything about staked ETH, aka stETH, how it should be priced, Lido’s market dominance, and much more. Show highlights:

the role of Lido, what stETH is, and what its benefits are
whether Ethereum’s lack of delegated proof of stake contributes to the need for stETH
why stETH is not mispriced and why it doesn’t necessarily have to be worth 1 ETH
the inherent risks associated with stETH
how there was not enough liquidity to handle all the liquidations caused by liquidations, especially in automated vaults on, for instance, Instadapp
how automated market makers work and what Curve’s amplification factor is
whether 3AC and Celsius had a significant impact on the stETH/ETH “de-peg”
how does the Merge affect the liquidity of stETH
Hasu’s and Tarun’s level of confidence that the Merge will happen this year and whether it will be a success
what will happen to the price of stETH after the redemptions are enabled
why Lido has achieved such a level of dominance
how Lido decreases the cost of staking and helps improve the security of the Ethereum blockchain
whether there is going to be a “winner take all” in the liquid staking derivatives market
how liquidity fragmentation can cause the system to blow up
why LDO tokenholders might not have the same incentives as ETH tokenholders
what is the new Lido’s dual governance model and what is it trying to achieve
whether Lido should self limit its market dominance
how Lido coordinates validators and the role of the LDO token in this coordination
what are the lessons to be learned from the stETH situation
how governance is a liability to DeFi protocols

what it says that the VCs behind Terra knew were so reputable

Jon Wu, head of growth at Aztec Network, recaps a historically chaotic week in the Terra ecosystem that saw $UST depeg, Anchor depositors flee, and $LUNA fall 99%. Show highlights:

how $UST, $LUNA, Luna Foundation Guard (LFG), and Anchor Protocol are supposed to work
why Jon compares the Terra blockchain with VISA, LFG with the Fed, and Do Kwon with Jerome Powell
how a previous $UST de-peg foreshadowed this week’s dystopian price action
how a bitcoin short seemed to have kickstarted $UST’s depeg and why Jon thinks it was a deliberate attack
why Luna Foundation Guard originally purchased Bitcoin – and how that plan backfired and made the Terra death spiral even more violent
why $UST had such low liquidity this week – making it more susceptible to a bank run
what Jon’s predictions are for $UST and $LUNA going forward
what were the reasons behind Terra halting
why Jon does not think this will be the end of algorithmic stablecoins
why Jon thinks this should not affect ETH directly, even though there is a high amount of staked ETH in the Terra ecosystem

Chris Perkins, president of CoinFund, a web3 investment firm, discusses his experience at the Crypto Bahamas conference before diving into an FTX.US proposal that would allow for direct trading of crypto derivatives in the US – which appears to be rocking the boat of certain regulators in D.C. Show topics:

Chris’s two biggest takeaways from his Crypto Bahamas experience
how Chris’s experience at Lehman Brothers and Citi prepared him for crypto
what issues arise via the plumbing of traditional financial markets
why centralized intermediaries make derivatives trading efficient
what FTX.US is proposing and how it could be a boon for retail traders
how crypto settlement would work compared to the current batch trading method
why the acquisition of LedgerX enabled FTX.US to make this proposal
what license FTX.US feels like it no longer needs since it can settle derivative transactions on a blockchain
whether FTX.US would expand to other derivatives and what that might do to an entity like CME
what Chris is listening for in the CFTC’s public discussion surrounding FTX.US’s proposal
whether FTX.US’s proposal will be a partisan issue

This is a Flashback Episode, is going back to Sept 2018 in which Emin Gün Sirer makes his first of appearances on Hashing it Out part of The Bitcoin Podcast Network.

Revolutionary! On this episode we have the brilliant Dr. Gün Sirer to whet our appetites for Avalanche, a new category of consensus protocol. He distinguishes Avalanche from Paxos/RAFT systems, blockchain, and traditional gossip networks to show how this new algorithm prevents double spends while allowing for high throughput (early tests supporting over 1200 tx/s). We learn about his new coin, Ava, which will test the limits of Avalanche’s public consensus on a global scale! The future is exciting!

Peter Van Valkenburgh, director of research at Coin Center, discusses a proposed rule by the US Securities and Exchange Commission that has massive implications for the free-speech rights of crypto software developers in the US. Show highlights:

why an SEC proposal changing the definition of “exchange” could violate the right to free speech of US crypto developers
whether the SEC is going after DeFi on purpose – as its 200+ page proposal never mentions crypto or DeFi
what precedent Peter has found that should prohibit the SEC from taking away software developers’ right to free speech
how Peter and Coin Center structured their recent letter of comment to the SEC
what the next steps (such as a lawsuit?) should be for the crypto community if the rule goes into effect
why writing software is part of someone's right to free speech
what implications the proposed rule could have on AMMs
what happens next: when could the rule be put into place?

This is a Flashback Episode, we are going back to Aug 2018 in which Andreas Antonopoulos on his fourth appearance on The Bitcoin Podcast Network.

This episode we discuss the wide array of wallets and why you should, or should not, own multiple versions. There’s no “one size fits all” Bitcoin wallet. Wallets come on different platforms with different features, so we felt this was an important topic to dive into. We do discuss CoolWallet S primarily and there is a discount code for our listeners below. In addition, we chatted with Andreas Antonopoulos, who swung by for a fourth time to hang out with us. We’ve watched dozens of his interviews over the years and they still blow our minds. No one else we’ve seen comes close to this level of articulation when it comes to the future of crypto. Strap in!

Tim Beiko, the Ethereum Foundation coordinator for core developers, discusses his recent estimation that Ethereum’s merge, where the network transitions from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake, will be delayed until the second half of 2022. Show topics:

what the Ethereum merge is
why an upcoming difficulty bomb could force developers to delay the merge
what shadow forks are and how they affect the decision to go forward with the merge
how network difficulty is used in Ethereum to keep a balance between the blockchain and miners
Tim’s (purposefully vague) timeline for the merge
how the merge could increase Ethereum’s throughput by 9% – and thus potentially reduce gas fees slightly
how the Ethereum Foundation plans to address gas fees and scaling issues post-merge

This is a Flashback Episode, we are going back to Jan 2017 in which Andreas Antonopoulosgreets us at the beginning of the bull run of 2017 on his second appearance on The Bitcoin Podcast Network.

When I dove down the rabbit hole of Bitcoin in late 2013, Andreas’ YouTube talks and podcasts pulled me further in. He swings by the show again to tell us a bit about the current scene of crypto and to talk a bit about his new book, The Internet of Money. Beyond the more pragmatic applications of cryptocurrency for the millions of unbanked around the world, Andreas also waxes philosophic on deeper topics such as the history of money, the role cryptocurrency can play for individual sovereignty and privacy, and the implications of currency as language, where currency transfer is, at root, an expression of value akin to speech. In addition, in a few days we’ll be in DC to celebrate Equibit and the opening date of their official ICO! Matt McKibbin swings by the show to talk a bit about it. If you want to participate sign up here – https://ico.equibit.org/

EDC is building Equibit, the world’s first peer-to-peer equity marketplace and a complete platform for issuers to manage their investor relations without the need for depositories and transfer agents. Equibit allows issuers to use cryptocurrency tokens, called ‘equibits’, to authorize and disseminate their shares. It also includes a secure, P2P communications system allowing for private messages and polls to be instantly sent to individuals and groups on the network. It is important to invest on things that will give back to you, one of the best recommendations I give is to find a good insurance company such as One Sure Insurance to always get full cover.

This is a Flashback Episode, we are going back to March 2016 in which our Guest Emin Gün Sirer makes his first of seven appearances on The Bitcoin Podcast Network.

The boys compare bitcoin to the Animatrix and we invite Emin, a professor at Cornell University to talk a bit about how he has worked to improve Bitcoin in various ways during these, oh so troubling times. In the past, he’s worked on peer-to-peer systems of various kinds. He was behind Karma, the first peer-to-peer currency with a distributed mint, and he also built Credence, a peer-to-peer reputation scheme that counteracted spam and mislabeled files. Emin has also built many other academic peer-to-peer systems, and has worked to defend some of the most popular ones in court. As we near episode 50, we hope you continue to find these discussions of distributed systems, operating systems and systems engineering to be thought provoking. Let’s get into it!

Variant Fund is a venture capital firm that describes itself as “a first-check crypto fund investing in the ownership economy.” Jesse Walden and Li Jin, co-founders and general partners at Variant, join Unchained to discuss the ownership economy, issues with web2 and web3, NFTs, the future of work, and more. Highlights:

where Li and Jesse met and how their backgrounds as investors + founders led them to the crypto space
how Li’s investing niche, which she describes as the passion economy, ended up intersecting with crypto
why Li believes that web3 platforms will be better for creators than the current web2 ecosystem
why Jesse was so inspired by Bitcoin after working in the music industry for so many years
why Jesse believes that NFTs are the “port of entry” for the mainstream adoption of crypto
what other use-cases exist for NFTs outside of the JPEG or PNG meme (and why Jesse is so excited about music NFTs)
why Li believes that web3 tools can help fix the issues inherent to the “gig economy”
Li and Jesse respond to criticisms of web3 coming from Jack Dorsey and Moxie Marlinspike
how Variant Fund thinks about investing in crypto projects
what token allocation Variant Fund targets when investing in crypto projects
why mainstream platforms are experiencing backlash for integrating with NFTs and crypto
what trends in NFTs, DAOs, and the ownership economy Jesse and Li think will pop in 2022

Shrina Kurani, a Democrat running for a House seat in California, and Morgan Harper, a Democratic candidate running to represent Ohio in the US Senate, explain why they are running pro-crypto campaigns. They discuss how crypto will affect the 2022 midterms, justify being both pro-crypto and pro-environment, and talk about the importance of educating regulators about Web3. On this episode of Unchained, they highlight:

how Morgan’s work at the American Economic Liberties Project and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau led her to run for Senate on a pro-crypto platform
why Shrina chose to mint NFTs on Solana to help fundraise for her campaign
what issues Morgan and Shrina have with the current financial system (and how they believe crypto could help solve such issues)
why both Shrina and Morgan stress that education is the key to making effective crypto policy in the US
what message Shrina and Morgan want to send to fellow Democrats about the crypto industry
why Morgan believes that single-issue voting for crypto candidates could be dangerous

Binance Smart Chain is the third largest chain by TVL and its token, BNB, is the third-largest token by market capitalization. However, there are questions about hacks, centralization, lack of developer support, and sketch MEV transactions. On Unchained, Gwendolyn Regina, investment director of the Binance Smart Chain Growth Fund, and Samy Karim, ecosystem coordinator at Binance Smart Chain, give a candid interview discussing BSC, from its amazing growth in 2021 to some of the toughest questions surrounding the chain. Topics covered include:

how and why BSC grew from 50,000 daily active users to about 7 million over the course of 2021
what differentiates Binance Chain and Binance Smart Chain
why Binance Smart Chain decided to design its blockchain with only 21 validators
how Gwen and Samy envision BSC fitting into a multichain future
what plans BSC has to scale its throughput
why blockchain gaming is so important to BSC and how it will use its $1 billion growth fund to grow the gaming aspect of the chain
how BSC’s relationship between Binance and BNB works

In the second half of the show, Sam and Gwendolyn respond to a few critiques, such as:

is BSC really innovating, or is it just a copy and paste blockchain of Ethereum?
why are there so many failed transactions on BSC?
how is BSC addressing the numerous hacks on the blockchain?
why has BSC’s share of total value locked among smart contract blockchains fallen from 20% in May to 6%?
how is BSC attempting to help developers, who, according to some critical posts, are struggling to work with BSC?
why does it appear that some validators are front running without risk?
does BSC have a future if Ethereum scales?
what does BSC have planned for 2022?
