    Why Agents Will Ditch Stablecoins That Don't Pay Yield

    If the risk is the same, why would any rational agent choose a stablecoin that pays nothing over a money market fund that does?  In this clip, Chris Perkins puts the question directly to Circle’s Gordon Liao, who walks through USYC — Circle's yield-bearing instrument — and the seamless toggle between it and USDC.  Austin Campbell frames the winners as "transformers": platforms that can move fluidly between yield and liquidity states. The answer matters for every wallet, exchange, and agentic commerce stack being built right now.   Hosts: Austin Campbell @austincampbell | Ram Ahluwalia @ramahluwalia | Chris Perkins @perkinscr97 Guest: Gordon Liao, Chief Economist and Head of Research at Circle   This clip is from a longer conversation on USDC, the CLARITY Act, and rising bond yields.

    Will On-Chain Repo Reach $1 Trillion? One Reason Yes, One Reason No

    Matteo Pandolfi of Pareto puts a number on the table: on-chain repo reaches $1 trillion within five years. He makes the case using the current pipeline of traditional institutions entering the space and the hybrid infrastructure model that does not require full on-chain execution. Craig Burchell of FalconX gives you both sides. The bull case: the facilities are already being built, the demand is real, and you are watching it happen in real time. The bear case: the standardization problem. The reason centrally cleared repo works in TradFi is that everything operates under the same agreement and can be automated like clockwork. Getting an entire ecosystem on a standardized on-chain repo form is a gargantuan challenge. On-chain is probably one of the best places to try, but that is still essentially standing up a new exchange from scratch. To open the segment, Craig walks through the Aave deleveraging crisis as the clearest example of what a mature on-chain repo market changes: nobody wanted to sell their positions. They needed short-term liquidity. The cascade did not have to happen. This clip is from a longer conversation on bringing the repo market on-chain.

    $5B On-Chain Credit: What's Actually Working and What's Still Missing

    On-chain private credit has crossed $5 billion across more than 2,000 assets. The borrower side has matured significantly — institutional counterparties like FalconX are accessing credit on-chain with clear terms, legal structures that hold up to institutional scrutiny, and professional underwriters applying real credit discipline. But the liquidity side remains the visible gap. Tokenization improves transferability; it does not automatically create an active secondary market. Craig Burchell and Matteo Pandolfi walk through the current landscape: the different flavors of on-chain credit from stablecoin yield strategies (USDE, USDS, Syrup USDC) to tokenized TradFi private credit (JTRY, Apollo ACRED, Fasanara, Maple), how FalconX is already using on-chain channels for its tokenized loan book, and what the specific stablecoin repo and RWA deleveraging use cases look like in practice. Craig explains the 'HiFi' framework — why a robust on-chain repo market does not require everything to be fully programmatic — and Matteo maps the composability advantage: using an on-chain credit facility as collateral in a Morpho vault is a proof of concept that goes well beyond yield.

    Is the AI Rally a Bubble? Ram, Chris, and Austin Disagree

    Semiconductors now make up 18% of the S&P 500 — a record — as capital floods into AI infrastructure. Is this another dotcom bubble, or something structurally different? Ram Ahluwalia says the spending is coming from the world’s most profitable companies and the returns are already showing up in cloud growth. Christopher Perkins says every mania eventually reaches an extreme. Austin Campbell argues the bigger question is whether investors are actually backing the right companies. This clip is from a longer conversation on markets, AI, and crypto. Full episode here: https://youtube.com/live/owJbpl30Zq4  We go live every Monday at 4:30 PM ET — subscribe to catch it live.

    Paul Tudor Jones Says Bitcoin Is the Best Inflation Hedge. Is He Right?

    Paul Tudor Jones called Bitcoin the best inflation hedge the same day it broke through 80 while equities sold off. The Bits + Bips crew debates whether he’s right — and what comes next for the store of value. Ram Ahluwalia sees quantum-resistant successor coins on the horizon. Chris Perkins argues the next backed asset may rely on energy or compute — not gold or Treasuries.

    On Polymarket, You Can't Pose a Question. On Delphi, Anyone Can

    Why does Delphi call itself an information market instead of a prediction market? Ben Fielding, CEO of Gensys, says the difference is the direction of the question. On Polymarket, users cannot create markets — only suggest them. On Delphi, anyone can pose a question and pay for the world to answer it. Ben walks through the full thesis: the orange farmer who can finally hedge drought risk without going to JP Morgan, the flywheel that pulls machine learning models into markets as faster and more accurate information traders than any human, and why the long tail of markets nobody has thought to create yet is where the real opportunity sits. He also addresses the hardest question: how do you prevent a decentralized market platform from being used for markets no society should allow? His answer is the Uniswap vs. Coinbase distinction. Guest: Ben Fielding @BenFielding [confirm], CEO & Co-Founder, Gensys. Host: Steve Ehrlich @Steven_Ehrlich.

    OpenAI Is Building an AOL. Here Is Why That Limits AI's Scale

    How does a decentralized AI network compete with companies spending hundreds of billions on data centers? Ben Fielding, CEO of Gensys, says the question misunderstands what scale actually means. The big AI labs are building walled gardens, exactly the way AOL built one in the early internet era. They will attract users, extract value, and make great products, but they will not reach the scale of an open system running on every device in the world. Ben traces the pattern through the early internet, through social media, and into machine learning, and explains why the window is still open for a decentralized alternative that can get to internet-level scale rather than Meta-level scale. Guest: Ben Fielding @BenFielding, CEO & Co-Founder, Gensys. Host: Steve Ehrlich @Steven_Ehrlich.

    How the Kelp rsETH Hack Left Aave With $193M in Bad Debt

    The Kelp hack exposed a flaw at the center of monolithic DeFi lending. What comes next for Aave, for looping traders caught underwater, and for users who never knew the risk. A single compromised signature was enough.  When an attacker exploited Layer Zero's DVN network to mint 116,000 unbacked rsETH on Ethereum mainnet, Aave's unified pool design did the rest: within minutes, a $193M loan was originated against fraudulent collateral, ETH borrow rates went to 100% utilization, and thousands of leveraged looping positions flipped from positive carry to deeply negative.  Now Kelp faces a decision with no clean answer: socialize losses across all rsETH holders at a 17% haircut, or isolate the damage to the Layer 2 and blow through lenders on mainnet. Meanwhile, Aave's $250M umbrella module, designed precisely for moments like this, looks critically undercapitalized for a tail risk of this magnitude.  Blockworks researchers Luke Leasure, Shaunda Devens, and Carlos Gonzalez Campo walk through the mechanics of the exploit, the design choices that amplified it, and what the resolution scenarios mean for DeFi's future.
