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. Between leaderboard drama, pinball with Warpee, and a cube-holding mini app, it was like attending a DAO-themed Renaissance fair... if the fair had NFTs, creator coins, and a suspicious lackof dragons.

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.

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.

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

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.

On-Chain Music: A Revenue Revolution
Dive into the evolving landscape of on-chain music with Michael DiVestea of Coop Records, as he unveils how blockchain is redefining artist-fan interactions and revenue streams. In a music industry heavily reliant on streaming, Michael shares how on-chain platforms offer a financially rewarding alternative, allowing artists to make "the equivalent of potentially millions of streams" through selling collectibles and engaging directly with their fanbase.

Beyond the numbers, the dialogue swings into the cultural shifts happening in the music world.

He remarks that "AI is going to definitely change the music industry probably more than crypto even will," highlighting the transformative potential of these technologies converging. As we trace the arc from collectibles to tokens, and how mainstream labels like Sony might soon embrace these on-chain possibilities, the path forward appears rich with promise and ripe for innovation. This episode challenges perceptions and inspires curiosity about the future of music distribution.
