Visit creatordao.com/ to learn more! From our ChatGPT Intern: GM Farcaster broadcasted from a backup mom-cave and rolled out a buffet of Farcaster lore, poker invites, and Zora-induced chaos—including Jack Butcher accidentally launching a coin by logging in.

Udi Wertheimer on Why Bitcoin Could Reach $400,000 by Year's End
Udi Wertheimer says OG bitcoiners are gone, and that’s why the next Bitcoin rally could melt your face off. Bitcoin is up over 25% year-to-date, but what if this is still the beginning? Udi Wertheimer joins the show to share a thesis that’s grabbing attention across crypto: that we’re entering a generational Bitcoin rotation, where old holders are out, new institutional buyers are in, and price targets like $400K may arrive faster than anyone expects. He explains why the emergence of “forced buyers” like Michael Saylor’s Strategy changes everything, why he thinks the altcoin cycle is already lost, and how the biggest mistake Crypto Twitter is making today is thinking this is the top.

Bits + Bips: Stablecoins Just Went Legit, but That’s Only the First Step
Crypto won big in DC, but the industry has plenty of other fights to win. Plus, why ETH is finally rallying and whether Trump is posing a real threat to the Fed. Last week, the U.S. passed its first major piece of crypto legislation. Stablecoins now have a legal home, and that could open the floodgates for adoption, disruption, and regulation. But is this just the beginning? In this episode of Bits + Bips, Ram Ahluwalia, Noelle Acheson, Steve Ehrlich, and guest Cosmo Jiang of Pantera dive into what the stablecoin law actually means, who it helps, who it threatens, and why Wall Street and crypto startups alike are positioning fast. They also cover Ethereum’s rally, what’s fueling it, and whether the boom in digital asset treasury companies is sustainable. Plus, they unpack Trump’s latest threats against the Fed and what it means for markets, inflation, and interest rates.

OBUSD: Stability for Builders, Backed by Grants.
Imagine a world where building on a blockchain doesn’t mean waiting forever for money. Meet OBUSD, the big helper for builders in 2025. Instead of making developers wait a long time for grant money, OBUSD offers a smart way to get needed money quickly.Here's how it works: Builders put in stablecoins, like USDC, into OBUSD. It’s not just about keeping money safe—it’s about making more money through DeFi lending pools. The extra money made is shared with projects that need it, giving builders money when they need it most. "You don’t have to wait anymore – OBUSD makes it automatic," says Ruben from OBUSD.What makes OBUSD special is how it uses attestations and endorsements. This makes getting money simpler. When a project gets a grant okay and some thumbs-up from Optimism citizens, it gets monthly money, making things much easier for builders. But OBUSD is more than just a tool—it’s a team builder. By sharing money among projects, it turns tough times into team efforts. Builders aren’t alone; they're on a team, sharing ideas and help through the OBUSD platform.In a world where old ways of grants can’t keep up with fast changes, OBUSD gives a new way that isn’t just about hope, but real support. It’s a step to a better, friendly future for building on blockchains.Is OBUSD the future of getting money? Its smart way makes it a question worth thinking about.

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
