Former Yahoo Music Executive on Crypto's Inevitable Centralization Points with Ian Rogers Aug 23, 2025

Show notes

Every crypto cycle, someone tells you to compromise on security to "onboard the masses." It always blows up.

In today's episode, we sit down with Ian Rogers from Ledger to explore why "storytelling plus time equals value" - and why self-custody will always matter.

Ian breaks down how we're witnessing the digitization of all value, not just information, and why that changes everything.

Let's get into it.

Onboarding 100 Million Users to Crypto with Steven Goldfeder and Derek Chiang Aug 21, 2025

Show notes

The UX problem is the only thing standing between Arbitrum and mainstream adoption.

In today's episode, Stephen Goldfeder from Offchain Labs and Derek Chiang from ZeroDev discuss their acquisition and what it means for the Arbitrum ecosystem.

While Arbitrum solved scaling, UX fragmentation remains. Their collaboration will deliver gasless transactions, seamless cross-chain experiences, and passkey authentication across Arbitrum's "your chain, your rules" philosophy.

We Asked an RWA Expert About Asset Tokenization. Here's What We Learned with Ian De Bode Aug 15, 2025

Show notes

Imagine taking the best of stablecoins and applying it to stocks. That’s what Ondo Global Markets is doing.

In today's episode, we chat with Ian from Ondo Finance about their new Ondo Global Markets platform. Basically, it lets you wrap any publicly traded stock into a token you can mint or burn instantly, just like a stablecoin.

We explore why tokenized stocks could finally make US capital markets globally accessible, what asset classes make sense to tokenize and how DeFi protocols will adapt to thousands of tokenized stocks.

We also dive into why the Trump family's debanking experience is accelerating institutional adoption and Ian's take on why this approach beats traditional brokerage accounts.

Let's get into it.
