Why a U.S. Ban on Yield-Bearing Stablecoins Would Help 'Too Big to Fail' Banks

Yield-bearing stablecoins have had decent growth, now topping $6 billion in supply and paying out nearly $600 million to users, according to data from Stablewatch. But just as these products go mainstream, the U.S. Senate is moving forward with a stablecoin bill that could ban them outright in America. In this episode, NYU professor and Zero Knowledge Consulting founder Austin Campbell joins Laura to break down: Why yield-bearing stablecoins are under fire in Washington Why Dems are pushing for the ban and who stands to benefit How this bill could give foreign issuers an edge over U.S. ones Whether yield-bearing stablecoins are securities under U.S. law And what the future holds for projects like Ethena, Sky, and others

17: Alex Danco - Innovation Begins with Gifts

Alex Danco is a writer and Product Director at Shopify. Alex rose to prominence while writing his *Snippets* newsletter while at VC firm Social Capital in 2015. He wrote prolifically—about markets and financial systems, venture capital, startups, cities, culture, the technology-driven shift to a world of abundance, to name a few topics—through 2020, when he joined Shopify. Since then, he's had his hands full with Shopify and young kids, but recently published a flurry of new pieces on his blog while on paternity leave. This conversation starts with one of Alex's most insightful ideas: that a culture of gift-giving underpins technology, innovation, and creative work, and is the key to solving many of capitalism's coordination problems. We then talk about what businesses will look like in a world of abundance: AI agents, massive and accessible infrastructure, and where moats might actually lie. Alex shares why AI-enabled creativity may resemble musicians finding their sound and how and where we might find internet-native subcultures in 2025. Then he explains what "the medium is the message" actually means across different content formats and why audio continues to thrive. We wrap up with Alex's thoughts on the U.S and Canada as someone who identifies with both places and by taking a peek into some of the books that have most influenced his thinking. I've read Alex for years and I've always been impressed by how generative he is. That comes through in this conversation and I hope you are inspired to—like Alex—be more curious, creative, and most importantly, generous.

Which Crypto Assets Belong in a Reserve? This VC Says Not XRP and ADA

The crypto markets are in waiting mode—but waiting for what? Here’s why traders are eyeing policy moves, how XRP and Cardano’s potential inclusion in a government reserve is causing debate, and what catalysts could actually trigger the next rally. Trump’s latest crypto moves have sent the market on a rollercoaster. First, he posted on Truth Social that a U.S. crypto reserve would include XRP, Solana, and Cardano. A couple hours later, he had to clarify that Bitcoin and Ethereum would also be included. The market jumped 12%—only to crash the next day. Meanwhile, the White House crypto summit is happening Friday, and not everyone is happy with the guest list. Some say it’s a step toward real regulation, while others argue that without DeFi voices, it’s just a meeting of centralized players.
