The DeFi Daily

Pat and Amy chat about the big bug that hit DeFi Pulse this week, the fact that pretty much no one can REALLY read DeFi contracts, and wow, Bloomberg mentioned DeFi, have we jumped the shark?

Pat and Amy discuss the meme coin MEME and how it reached $1,600 on the markets yesterday, then Pat goes way too deep on securities law and theory (and Amy is just too polite to interrupt him), and they end on democracy models for DeFi governance. Busy day!

Pat and Amy discuss today’s price crash of UNI (and, you know, every crypto and stock), go deep talking about funding models for DeFi projects, and spin some conspiracy theories about Bitfinex and Tether.

The UNI airdrop is the big news this week, Pat and Amy go deep on it, plus talk BurgerSwap, BNB, and hot damn, Ethereum hit 1.4 million transactions, that’s a lotta sushi.

Amy and Pat discuss the big news of the week, Uniswap launching their new governance token UNI. They also discuss institutional adoption of crypto and Bakkt, plus get into the nitty gritty on what exactly exchange volume means – pro tip: don’t believe everything you read.

Pat and Amy talk the new kid on the DeFi block, Pickle, go over India’s latest governmental articulations around crypto, and, hey, congrats to Kraken, you’re a bank!

Pat gets really worked up about Apple beating up on poor helpless Coinbase, Amy talks exchange hacks and liability, and they both enjoy the most recent news about SushiSwap, which goes to prove we just can’t do an episode without talking about Sushi.

Amy and Pat chat about the most recent bZx hack, talk Layer 2 scaling for Ethereum, look to the sky for a Bitcoin satellite, and Pat is genuinely surprised at the Polkadot market cap.

Amy and Pat discuss the $13mil developer refund from Chef Nomi to the Sushi Dev Fund, the Ethereum foundation is handing out (grant) money, and the Swiss keep on actually being legislatively progressive about crypto.

Amy and Pat go deep on black market economics and how much crypto is driven by illegal activities, they talk Binance’s new $100mil investment fund (and how all exchanges should be scared right now), and ponder if the DeFi bubble is bursting.
