How Hyperliquid Came to ‘Threaten the Very Existence’ of CEXs Like Binance
Perp DEXs are on fire, with volumes topping $1 trillion a month for the first time. Aster, backed by YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), has suddenly vaulted to the top of volume charts, but is its rise organic, or manufactured? But while everyone frames the battle as Aster vs. Hyperliquid, Syncracy’s Ryan Watkins and Sunny Shi argue the real fight is much bigger: decentralized exchanges versus centralized giants like Binance. Plus: what role Solana will play in the next chapter in the perps dex wars? And won’t Ethereum even compete?

The Chopping Block: USDH Bake-off—Native Markets, Validators & the “Beauty Contest” Debate
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 Guy founder of Ethena as a special guest, as a single ticker (USDH) sparked a weeklong spectacle: Hyperliquid’s “Bake-off” to award the USDH stablecoin brand. Native Markets surged ahead as validators signaled support, Paxos rallied late with partners and incentives, and Ethena ultimately withdrew. Was this always a vibes‑based beauty contest, or a deliberate move to pressure Circle and re‑route bridge yield? We parse the incentives, the governance, and the market microstructure — and peek at what happens if every big chain/app tries the “native stablecoin” playbook. Show highlights 🔹 Hyperliquid RFP, Explained — Validators signaled early; stakers could migrate; the USDH “ticker” confers no explicit fee rights, yet bidders offered huge economics. 🔹 Why Native Won — “Vibes-based beauty contest”: homegrown team fit the HL ethos; speed, alignment, and community trust trumped external credentials. 🔹 Paxos Allegation — Late claim of validator bribery surfaced; Paxos denied; no receipts provided; underscores governance fragility to extra‑protocol incentives. 🔹 The Real Prize — Bridge control & yield capture (+ tail‑risk management) mattered more than a brand: even a “just a ticker” beachhead can evolve to real economics. 🔹 Masterstroke Marketing — The public Bake-off dragged every major issuer onstage, boosting HL mindshare and potential leverage in any USDC negotiation. 🔹 Open vs. Closed — If you want a native team, say so; calling it an “RFP” for service providers while preferring insiders created dissonance and drama. 🔹 Odds vs. Votes — Polymarket odds rapidly converged on Native despite splashy rival bids—perception and validator reality diverged from Twitter takes. 🔹 Issuer Margins Compress — Public bids commoditize stablecoin issuance; expect 5–15 bps “asset‑manager” style economics unless you’re Tether‑scale. 🔹 App/Chain Rent Wars — Who captures the float? Apps, wallets, and chains will increasingly demand economics for distribution; UX and liquidity fragmentation loom. 🔹 Liquidity Gotchas — Forcing a nonstandard stable can impair quotes vs. USDT pairs elsewhere; exchanges risk killing their golden goose to save a few bps.
The Silent Revolution: How Enscribe Is Making Ethereum Safer for Everyone
In this episode, we’re exploring the fascinating world of ENS-powered contract naming with Conor, the founder behind Enscribe. Conor takes us through his journey from discovering Ethereum back in 2016, inspired by its “world computer” ethos and close ties to the open-source community, to launching pivotal projects like web3j and now Enscribe. Enscribe sets out with a bold mission: to eliminate confusing hex addresses from Ethereum's user experience and make interacting with smart contracts safer and more human-friendly through recognizable names. We discuss the technical challenges of contract naming, the slow but steady adoption across the ecosystem, and the powerful impact this seemingly simple innovation can have—improving trust, usability, and the everyday crypto experience. Conor also sheds light on how integrating ENS with existing contract deployment tools could make it easier for developers to bring this to the mainstream, and we touch on the potential for DAOs and public goods funding to help drive adoption. 00:00 "Discovering Ethereum: A Tech Journey" 04:05 "Journey from Mining to Web3" 07:52 Innovating Beyond Established Block Explorers 12:01 "Digital Verification and Authenticity" 15:14 "Name Your Contracts Initiative" 18:52 ENS Name Resolution Challenges 22:47 Automating Naming in ENS Deployment 26:19 Streamlining Token Launch with ENS Integration 28:32 Ethereum's Decentralization vs. Super Apps 35:18 ENS Ecosystem Funding Initiatives 40:24 Subdomains: Untapped Potential in Communities 44:35 Enhancing Smart Contract Verification 48:21 Enhancing ENS for Safer Contracts 50:36 Trust Signals Beyond Audits 54:17 Careful Expansion of ENS Initiative 57:30 Pakistani Cuisine in London Links Mentioned: Twitter (https://x.com/enscribe_) Website (https://www.enscribe.xyz/) Incentive Campaign (https://discuss.ens.domains/t/temp-check-ens-contract-naming-season/21402) ___ CastOff/Episode Discussion, here (https://t.me/+oy6j0NBQObsyZjEx).

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.
Why Phantom Is Launching Perps + Why Bit Digital Ditched BTC for ETH

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.

Between Two Chains Ep 2: How is Interoperability Solved? w/Jill Gunter (Espresso)
Last week we spoke with Aditi and Nitya from Para about interoperability from the user's lens, and this week, in our second episode of Between Two Chains, we speak with Jill Gunter from Espresso about interoperability from the other lens: builders. Jill dives deep into the intricate dynamics of composability and interoperability, how infra builders need to emphasize user experience to move forward, and the state of Ethereum, the ecosystem's incentives, and the importance of staying user-centric while building decentralized applications. Between Two Chains is a four-part miniseries produced by Rehash and co-hosted by LayerZero, where we explore whether blockchain interoperability is solved. ⏳ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 08:30 The importance of composability 18:19 Composability in infra 21:17 The developer vs user communication gap 32:51 The importance of interoperability 37:13 Follow Jill 👋 FOLLOW US: Diana Chen: https://x.com/ddwchen LDF: https://x.com/ldf_gm Jill Gunter: https://x.com/jillrgunter Rehash: https://x.com/rehashweb3 LayerZero: https://x.com/layerzero_core Espresso: https://x.com/EspressoSys
