1/ Thrilled to announce our Series A extension at a $192M valuation. Crypto is at an inflection point. The bottleneck to growth is no longer just the technology. It's the trust gap between issuers and investors. Blockworks will solve that.

When I heard Kamino had brought on a fintech founder as CEO, I knew had to bring him on. Michael Weisz did not disappoint. Great podcast about onchain collateral, Kamino, the $KMNO token, fintech vs crypto, tokens vs equity, his comp package, and more.

My fireside chat with the CEO of Western Union. > you crypto people think real time settlement is new > we've been doing real time settlement for 20 years > you can go to a WU and send money to your mom in guatemala and it lands in 3 seconds > but that only happens because I have liquidity pool of $1.5B > stablecoins are going to give me back that $1.5B > my stock trades at $2.7B > I'm going to take that $1.5B and use it to buy back a boat load of my stock > oh and also, we're going to use stablecoins to give all 100m+ customers a US dollar debit card aka mini bank account Stablecoins aren't going to kill Western Union... They're going to save it.

LAUNCH DAY Tokenization is a supply shock for onchain assets. AI agents are a demand shock for the data. 100 days after acquiring Messari, the two platforms are now one. We give you a swarm of agents to underwrite and monitor everything onchain. Say hello to Blockworks Intel.

Think this is the single best podcast to understand Vaults. My two takeaways: 1) Vaults will scale from $6B to $15B+ this year 2) DeFi and fintech will merge. DeFi is just better financial APIs Big thanks to Sun and @JohnZettler for doing this.

Really enjoyed this conversation with Charles Hoskinson We covered a lot: politics, psychedelics, his bison + black hawk, his alien search, Japan’s influence on Cardano, personal security, and of course… Why he believes ADA is a better investment than BTC.

Fantastic chat with Hayden Adams 🦄 I didn’t realize how much Uniswap has changed. From B2C to B2B… which means updating the business model, strategy, products, people, $UNI and more. If you like DeFi with fundamentals, you’ll like this podcast.

This threadguy rant is what many are feeling but haven’t articulated. Crypto was just early to this trend but now everyone feels it. I look around and it’s like someone rushed to the cornucopia. And now everyone feels like they desperately have to win. Like RIGHT NOW. It's like this primal drive to win. Like right this second. Like there is a clock. And it’s ticking. And you just don’t know how much time is on it. And the dollar is getting worthless. And everyone is just printing money. It feels like we're in the early innings of desperation.

One of my favorite podcasts in awhile. qw and I went deep into the impact of Claude Opus 4.5 on startups. We also talked about his 2026 portfolio and why he’s down to less than 1% tokens (except BTC). Must listen for founders.

Wow, what a pod. I’ve gotten to know BlackRock’s CIO over the past year. Samara oversees $7.8 TRILLION and she’s all in on crypto. Finally got her to come on Empire and it did not disappoint. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Samara Cohen.

For months I've wondered what triggered Selkis to shift from crypto entrepreneur to political mad man. Turns out, there's a method to the madness. Mippo 🟪 and I sat down with 人人有功练 I KNOW KUNG FU to discuss this and so much more. We covered: - Focusing on politics as a founder - Why this election is make or break for crypto in the US - Why he would consider leaving the US if Biden wins - Behind the scenes of his Mar-a-Lago story - The Blockworks Op-Ed - The Democrats' motivation for being anti-crypto - Best case / worst case for crypto - Addressing my biggest concerns about Trump - The ideal role of the US government Hope you enjoy this 2 hour conversation about the existential struggle for crypto in the US.
