Pump.fun Just Raised $600M. What Does This Mean for DeFi, Solana & Social Media?
What if crypto’s next big narrative isn’t DeFi, but financial entertainment? The weeks leading up to Pump.fun’s ICO were contentious: accusations that it was extractive, debates over decentralization, and outrage over allocations. In the end, the company pulled off the third-largest ICO in crypto history, raising $600 million in 12 minutes. The day of, Solana barely flinched under the load, and onchain platforms like Hyperliquid and Raydium left CEXes looking outdated. In this episode of Unchained, Haseeb Qureshi of Dragonfly and Joe McCann of Asymmetric join Laura to break down: Whether this marks the return of ICOs The objections to the small ($10 million) airdrop to creators How Pump.fun’s ambitions could reshape memecoins, and maybe Solana itself And why TikTok might not need to worry just yet

Why Phantom Is Launching Perps + Why Bit Digital Ditched BTC for ETH
In this double-header, Phantom’s cofounder explains why it launched perps powered by Hyperliquid. Plus, a Bitcoin miner explains why they sold 280 BTC to go all-in on Ethereum. In the first half of this dual episode, Phantom co-founder Brandon Millman joins Unchained to break down why his Solana-first wallet is launching perpetual swaps, and why it chose to integrate with Hyperliquid over any Solana-native option. Then, Bit Digital’s Sam Tabar explains why the public company ditched its profitable Bitcoin mining business, went all-in on ETH, and what happened when he told Michael Saylor.
The Chopping Block: Paul Grewal on Regulation, Tokenization, and Crypto’s Next Legal Frontier
Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. In this episode, the gang is joined by Paul Grewal, Chief Legal Officer at Coinbase, for a wide-ranging conversation on crypto’s next big frontier: tokenized stocks. From Robinhood’s controversial attempt to tokenize SpaceX and OpenAI shares to the legal and structural hurdles around pre-IPO derivatives, the crew dives deep into what it really takes to bring Wall Street on-chain. They also unpack the regulatory momentum behind the Genius and Clarity Acts, the return of ICO mania with Pump.fun’s $1B token raise, and the absurdly viral drama of Suitgate on Polymarket. Is this a new era of regulated innovation—or are we just recreating old problems on new rails? Tune in for sharp takes, legal insight, and a few laughs along the way.

22: Nadia Asparouhova - Ideas that Infect
Nadia Asparouhova (Website, X, Substack) is a writer and researcher who has spent much of her career in service of the question: 'what's happening here?' across various parts of the internet.Nadia recently published her newest book, Antimemetics: Why Some Ideas Resist Spreading. She explores why consequential ideas, unlike memes and supermemes, fail to spread. She also recounts the last several years of online public and private life and how we're all less naive than we were in previous eras of the internet. Critically, she suggests a path toward poking our heads out of group chats and silos to engage in publicly discussing or promoting the ideas that matter most.Her first book, Working in Public: The Making and Maintenance of Open Source Software, was published by Stripe Press. Nadia also worked at Substack, Protocol Labs, and Github, and has written extensively on Silicon Valley Culture; the importance of ideas and institutions; consciousness, attention, and meditation; and more.Nadia's self-described sweet spot is when people respond to her writing by saying,"I read this piece and it gave me words for a thing that I didn't know how to express before." I can attest that is true, both for Antimemetics and for much of her other thinking. And as much as she writes about ideas, I admire how focused she is on how they might produce action.Nadia believes that important ideas infect us, and the reasonable response to that is to be tremendously thoughtful about our attention. I hope this conversation inspires you to put great care into where your attention goes.Transcript and all links: https://dialectic.fm/nadia-asparouhovaTimestamps:1:31: Why Ideas Matter9:33: The Last 10 Years of the Internet and Attention Collapse17:07: How The Internet Caused Attention Collapse19:59: Private Coordination in Public Spaces24:01: Legibility and Illegibility as a Tactic28:28: Ideas Are Not Created Nor Discovered; They Infect Us35:17: Defining Antimemes42:00: Ideological Black Holes: Supermemes49:13: Engaging in the Public Square vs. Opting Out54:16: Truth Tellers who Can Bring Anti-Memetic Ideas to Light1:05:06: Champions, or the Great Apostle Theory1:10:57: Institutions, Ideologies, and Movements1:24:51: Attention1:31:30: Jhanas1:38:42: Writing a Book1:46:19: Connecting the Dots in Reverse1:50:29: Lightning Round: Fighting (or Working With) Human Nature, Software as Passion Project, Democracy, Space Away from the Center of ThingsDialectic with Jackson Dahl is available on all podcast platforms.Join the telegram channel for DialecticFollow Dialectic on TwitterFollow Dialectic on InstagramSubscribe to Dialectic on YouTube

The Chopping Block: Robinhood’s Tokenized-Stock Gambit, Solana’s ETF Splash & the Proof-of-Stake Reality Check
Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, we’re joined by Jon Charbonneau and Ryan Watkins to unpack the bombshell news of Robinhood Chain—an Arbitrum-based network debuting tokenized U.S. stocks, 3× crypto perps, and that head-scratching $500 K liquidity cap. From riffing on whether proof-of-stake yields are just “money in a box,” to debating Solana’s first U.S. staked ETF, to sizing up the looming perp wars between Robinhood and Coinbase, the crew maps a common thread: corporate chains and regulatory work-arounds are colliding with crypto’s decentralization ideals, forcing builders, traders, and even ETF hawks to rethink where real security, fairness, and opportunity will live next. Show highlights 🔹 Robinhood Chain Revealed – Why the trading-app giant paid up to launch an Arbitrum-based “Robinhood Chain,” starting with 24/5 perpetuals and tokenized U.S. stocks, plus a rumored $500 K–liquidity cap that has Crypto Twitter howling. 🔹 Tokenized-Stock Gold Rush – From Tesla and SpaceX pre-IPO shares to on-chain S&P stalwarts: does 24/7 trading finally make equity tokens stick, or is it just another CFD in disguise? 🔹 Perps Arms Race – Coinbase’s 5-year “quasi-perp” futures vs. Robinhood’s 3×-leverage launch vs. Hyperliquid’s 20× turbo deck—who wins the battle for retail flow? 🔹 Solana ETF First-Mover – RexShares files a staked-SOL C-Corp ETF, beating BlackRock to the punch and testing Wall Street’s appetite after ETH’s lukewarm debut. 🔹 Proof-of-Stake Reality Check – The crew dismantles the “economic security” myth, asks whether validator cartels make inflation rewards pointless, and floats proof-of-governance as the next model. 🔹 Hyperliquid vs. The World – Why a single Tokyo data center is eating CLOB volume, what zk-rollup challengers are planning, and how latency games redefine “decentralized exchange.” 🔹 $2 B Prediction-Market Beef – Paradigm-backed Kalshi clashes with PolyMarket after a viral “little rats” tweet; inside the influencer war and the CFTC license flex. 🔹 Conference FOMO No More – New-York-privileged hosts roast ETH CC in Cannes and declare the age of fly-to-France crypto tourism officially over. 🔹 Reg-Tech vs. Fin-Tech – From transfer agents to T+1 settlement: why outdated TradFi plumbing, not blockchains, still blocks global access to U.S. securities. 🔹 Super-App Skepticism – The panel pokes holes in “super-app” buzzwords and explains why sequencing—product-first, chain-later—matters more than catchy slogans.
The Baddie in Me: Grace on dating, building Unlonely in crypto & finding what's next
In this episode of The Baddie in Me, Jessyfries chats with Grace about the unexpected virality of her wedding date post on Twitter and Farcaster, and how it led to someone even building a mini app for applicants. We also talk about her co-founded project Unlonely, a livestream app created with her brother, and its reality-style dating show Love on Leverage, where Jessyfries was one of the participants! She shares what it was like building Unlonely, her past role at YouTube working with creators, and how transparency is a key value she carries across projects. Earlier this year, she stepped away from Unlonely to reflect on her next chapter, unsure if it’ll stay in crypto, as she navigates the addictive nature of the space, and her desire for more purpose-driven work. We also talk about: - Building an online persona as a sassy, honest “internet girlie” - The struggle of juggling platforms like Lens, Farcaster & Twitter - Her views on authenticity, networking, and building engaged communities - Overcoming imposter syndrome and learning to trust herself - Finding balance while staying online and being visible This is a fun and real convo about internet culture, dating, social-fi, and growing up in crypto.
