About this episode
The episode discusses the current state of the crypto market and its implications for the future.
This week, Mippo, Myles, and Xavier sat down to discuss whether crypto's current slump reflects genuine stagnation or healthy maturation. They also unpack AI's near-term impact on DeFi security, the shifting VC fundraising bar, stablecoins reshaping crypto’s original thesis, and the US embracing onchain finance. Thanks for tuning in!
