The intersection of artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency is gaining momentum with the rise of memecoins like GOAT, an AI-created token now valued at over $700 million.The two-week-old GOAT memecoin, which hit a market cap of almost $880 million on Thursday, is captivating everyone in crypto. Not because this is memecoin szn, but because its rise was fueled by an AI called Truth Terminal, which is itself a baby of two other AI models. Teng Yan, founder of Chain of Thought, joins Unchained to break down how this unexpected AI creation has turned into a phenomenon, why it has captured the attention of the crypto world, and what the future holds for AI-driven tokens. At the end, Laura also discusses with Unchained’s regulatory reporter Veronica Irwin two interesting and important news stories: who Kamala Harris is vetting for SEC chair and how one Senate race could inadvertently give Senator Elizabeth Warren more power over crypto. Show highlights:How an AI experiment unexpectedly led to the creation of GOAT and sparked interest in AI-generated subculturesHow "Terminal of Truth" evolved its own personality, gained attention from Marc Andreessen, and began posting about a new "Goat Sea gospel" religionHow the spelling mistake sparked skepticism about the AI modelWhat happened with the $50,000 in BTC that Marc Andreesseen gave to Truth TerminalWhether an AI can have its own wallet and what the implications are Whether AI memecoins could start surging on other chainsWhat we can expect in terms of the proliferation of AI memecoinsWhat the future looks like for the intersection of crypto and AIWho Kamala Harris is considering for SEC Chair if she wins the U.S. electionWhy one Senate race could give Elizabeth Warren more power over cryptoVisit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.comThank you to our sponsors!PolkadotMantle’s FBTCGuestTeng Yan, Founder of Chain of ThoughtTeng’s article: GOAT: The Gospel of Goatse LinksPrevious coverage of Unchained on GOAT:GOAT Hits a Record $879 Million Market Cap After Brian Armstrong Offers to Help Truth TerminalGOAT: How AI Agents Talking Turned Into a $268 Million Memecoin 'Religion'Infinite backroomsAndy : https://x.com/AndyAyreyAndy Ayrey's (creator of Truth Terminal) research paper on LLMtheism: Truth Terminal's X account Kaito: GOAT’s mindshareUnchained Podcast is Produced by Laura Shin Media, LLC. Distributed by CoinDesk.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ethereum scaled its Layer 2s, but now they are raking in the fees while paying little to the base chain. Are L2s parasitic to ETH, or will things turn around? Justin Bons and Ryan Berckmans debate.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.Ethereum's Layer 2 solutions are booming, but are they inadvertently holding back the value of ETH itself? In this episode, Justin Bons and Ryan Berckmans engage in a heated debate over whether L2s are enhancing Ethereum's ecosystem or siphoning off its potential. They discuss the impact of L2s on decentralization, network effects, and whether Ethereum L1 can scale on its own or if the base layer and the rollups now have different incentives. Has Ethereum scaled appropriately for future usage, or was scaling via L2s the wrong roadmap for Ethereum?Show highlights:How Ethereum's rollup-centric roadmap consists of a decentralized Layer 1 (L1) for security with Layer 2 (L2) providing more transaction throughputWhy Justin is so critical about how L2s centralize EthereumWhy, according to Ryan, Layer 2 solutions aren't parasitic to Ethereum but instead enhance its network effects, decentralization, and long-term valueWhy Justin criticizes Ryan’s reliance on "trust me, bro" arguments, questioning the tribalism and authority in claiming the superiority of Ethereum researchers over those from other blockchainsHow Justin thinks the Ethereum L1 could scale and what the tradeoffs are Justin’s argument that Ethereum is stuck in the past and his claim that the blockchain trilemma doesn't exist anymoreRyan’s take on Ethereum's L1 scaling focuses on solving bandwidth limitations and addressing whether L2s are going to fully decentralizeWhether SNARKS is the way that Ethereum scales the L1Whether L2s will start accepting other tokens to pay for gasWhy Ryan predicts Ethereum's L2 adoption will surge, driving up L1 fees and boosting Ether's value as the leading digital moneyWhether based rollups are a good solution for Ethereum to scale without losing all the fees Why L2s would even try to decentralize and why Justin says that Solana has a better roadmap than EthereumConcluding thoughts from Ryan and JustinVisit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.comThank you to our sponsors!PolkadotMantleStellarCoinbaseGuests:Justin Bons, Founder & CIO of Cyber CapitalPrevious appearance on Unchained: Is Bitcoin Doomed to Fail?

Uniswap Labs and Galois Capital have settled with the CFTC and the SEC, respectively, but crypto lawyer Larry Florio says these small settlements could set bad precedents for the rest of the industry.The SEC and CFTC’s recent actions against Uniswap and Galois Capital could mark a turning point in crypto regulation. With both firms settling on relatively low fines, are we witnessing regulators establish precedent for a broader crackdown on the industry? In this episode, Larry Florio, general counsel at 1kx, delves into the implications of these settlements, the frustrations asset managers face with regulatory compliance, and whether the SEC’s approach could push the crypto industry into a corner.

Plus, they weigh whether or not bitcoin mining in space is something out of an Isaac Asimov novel or a not-so-distant possibility and check in on wider crypto market sentiment. Finally, in this week’s cry corner, they pitch a fit about the dumbest idea Colin has heard…maybe ever.Welcome back to The Mining Pod!

So in comes Galaxy Digital, which is offering a $30m (or 500 BTC!) loan, in a move that could be a savvy attempt to acquire Rhodium assets. Turning to the ASIC market, bitcoin miner prices are down – a lot – and Bitmain could have a hand in the sluggish demand given how quickly it is releasing new versions of the S21.  For a bit of lighthearted news, the guys get cosmic pontificating on interstellar bitcoin mining, while also taking a less lighthearted look at drooping crypto market sentiment.

Bitdeer went public in April 2023, and since then, it has earned consideration as one of the top 10 public bitcoin mining stocks by market cap. Today, our guest Brandon Bailey makes the case for why it deserves a spot in the top five. Welcome back to The Mining Pod! This week we are joined by Brandon Bailey (a.k.a. Bitcoin Beezy), a co-founder of Second Gate advisory and a former VP of mining at Galaxy Digital, to discuss his recent research note on Bitdeer. He argues that the public miner, which is sometimes overlooked for some combination of language barriers and the team’s geographic distance from North America, is massively undervalued. He digs into Bitdeer’s bitcoin mining business and its burgeoning ASIC miner manufacturing line to make the case that the company deserves a valuation comparable to Riot, Marathon, CleanSpark, and Core Scientific. Timestamps:00:00 Start02:11 Bitdeer Research Note03:46 Bitdeer as public company underdog08:12 2025 Projected Growth12:42 market segments14:59 Total Revenue16:10 Self mining vs hosting18:34 New ASICs23:46 ASIC manufacturing at scale30:13 Advantages of vertical integration35:08 Bitdeer can shift market segments37:03 AI & HPC41:11 AI training profitability45:34 3 AI Compute approaches50:43 Final thoughtsPublished twice weekly, "The Mining Pod" interviews the best builders and operators in the Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining landscape.

NFT marketplace OpenSea received a Wells notice from the SEC. Crypto lawyer Preston Byrne explains whether Gensler’s agency has a chance to win a potential case.The SEC’s latest enforcement action is targeting NFTs, and OpenSea is in the crosshairs. In this episode, crypto lawyer Preston Byrne joins to unpack the implications of the SEC's Wells notice to OpenSea and what it might mean for the platform and the broader NFT market. Could Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act provide a unique defense for OpenSea? Preston also dives into other recent SEC moves, including cases against Stoner Cats, Impact Theory, and more. Lastly, with the 2024 elections looming and political divides sharpening, is the SEC overreaching in its approach to crypto?Show highlights:Why Preston believes that the SEC will go after OpenSea for being an unregistered securities exchangeWhat the Stoner Cats case was about and why it was not a strong enforcement action, according to PrestonWhy OpenSea's defense against the SEC may hinge on Section 230 protections for user-generated content, setting it apart from traditional exchanges like Coinbase or BinanceHow the clear-cut promises made by Impact Theory about potential returns made their NFTs resemble securities, unlike the typical art-focused NFTs on OpenSeaWhy Nate Chastain’s NFT insider trading case is unlikely to impact the SEC’s potential lawsuit against OpenSeaWhether the $4 million settlement by Dapper Labs over NBA Top Shot NFTs likely represents little relevance to OpenSea's SEC issuesWhat a Wells notice signals about the SEC's likelihood of suing OpenSea and why they might feel confident about winning this caseHow Jonathan Mann and Brian Frye's lawsuit for clarity on NFTs as securities highlights the SEC's potentially overreaching stance in its possible case against OpenSeaHow Trump's careful language around his NFT collection likely minimizes SEC risk by avoiding investment promises and focusing on their use as digital collectiblesWhether the SEC's actions could reinforce the divide among crypto voters, with Trump promising a crypto-friendly stance and Harris likely continuing a more adversarial approachVisit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.comThank you to our sponsors!iTrustCapitalPolkadotToken 2049Mantle’s FBTCGeminiGuestPreston Byrne, Managing Partner at Byrne & StormUnchained Podcast is Produced by Laura Shin Media, LLC. Distributed by CoinDesk.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jose Macedo of Delphi Digital and Ari Paul of BlockTower Capital talk about why a crypto asset can have wildly different prices in the public and private markets, and how they try to figure out what it’s really worth.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.The problem of low float, high fully diluted valuation (FDV) coins is one that is frequently discussed in crypto. But there’s another wrinkle: investors need to understand the unrealized gains of these coins to really understand the price. In this episode, Jose Macedo of Delphi Digital and Ari Paul of BlockTower Capital explain the various metrics that reveal what a coin is really worth, why a wave of token unlocks that will be hitting the crypto markets in the next few years are not bullish, and whether there is a better way to design token unlocks for teams and insiders. Plus, they cover whether venture capitalists are extractive to crypto, whether these games with circulating supply and FDV have caused investors to turn to memecoins, and why they believe the ICO era was better for retail investors. Show highlights:Why upcoming token unlocks are creating market jittersHow the ratio of unrealized gains to market cap influences token price movements How some token projects manipulate their reported circulating supplyWhether and how everyday investors can uncover the truth about token projectsWhat secondary market trading says about the potential impact of upcoming token unlocksWhy Jose believes that the current token launch strategy, despite its flaws, is still favored by insiders and unlikely to change soonWhy some projects favor decisions that are more likely to result in short-term gains over long-term successWhy Jose believes that simple time-based token unlocks often work better than complex metrics, and how projects can balance funding with realistic success metricsWhy Ari believes the SEC's investigations into VCs for acting as securities dealers might be justified, and how these practices resemble pump-and-dump schemesWith numerous token unlocks looming, why the outlook is bearish for many projects, and what challenges they face in mitigating potential sell-offsWhy many crypto investors might end up holding the bag in the current cycle, despite plans to sell early and avoid lossesWhat the future role of VCs is in crypto, and how the influx of token unlocks and the rise of memecoins could shape the bull cycleVisit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.comThank you to our sponsors!PolkadotGuests:Jose Macedo, founder at Delphi LabsAri Paul, CIO of BlockTower CapitalPrevious appearances on Unchained:Ari Paul on Why Bitcoin Is a Good Value BuyAri Paul of BlockTower Capital on the Crypto Downturn and Why It Could Change DirectionLinks : High FDV and unlocks:Unchained:How ‘Fully Diluted Valuation’ Can Be a Very Dangerous Metric for Crypto Markets to Rely OnWho’s to Blame for the Underperformance of Low Float, High FDV Tokens?80% of Tokens on Binance Are Down Since Listing Date: SwissBorg ResearcherCobie newsletter: New launches (part 1) - private capture, phantom pricingRocknblock: Token vesting explainerCoinDesk: 'Liquid Vesting' Is Oxymoronic Blockchain Feature That Lets Early Investors Sell Without WaitingJose’s thread that inspired the episodeAri’s post responding to Jose’s threadToken.unlocks.app: Token vesting trackerSolutions:Hack VC: Potential Solutions to Crypto's Unlock ProblemColony Lab: Early-Stage Program & Liquid VestingImran Khan’s tweet on Blast https://x.com/lmrankhan/status/1806040646433522149 -Unchained Podcast is Produced by Laura Shin Media, LLC.  Distributed by CoinDesk.

The SEC won’t pursue enforcement against Ethereum 2.0, but why? How much of a role did politics play? And where does that leave staking and court cases involving companies such as Consensys and Coinbase? Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.Last week, Consensys revealed that the SEC had concluded an investigation into Ethereum 2.0, referring to when Ethereum transitioned from a proof-of-work consensus mechanism to a proof-of-stake one.In this episode, Laura Brookover, senior counsel & head of litigation and investigations at Consensys, and Sam Enzer, partner at Cahill Gordon & Reindel, explore the implications of this decision on Ether’s status as a commodity versus a security, and why the SEC dropped the pursuit, including whether the shifting political winds played a role. For instance, how much of the decision was influenced by the ETH ETF approvals, Democrats crossing party lines to vote for FIT21 and the repeal of SAB 121, and/or SEC crypto enforcement chief David Hirsch’s resignation? In this discussion, they also explained why the closure doesn’t necessarily mean that staking, or restaking, is safe from the SEC. Plus, what’s the impact of this closure on the other big crypto cases, such as Coinbase, Kraken, Uniswap, and Ripple? Show highlights:How Consensys managed to get the SEC to reveal that it had concluded its investigation into Ethereum 2.0, and the significance of that moveThe SEC's possible reasoning behind investigating Ethereum after it had switched to proof of stakeHow uncommon is it for the SEC to send a letter concluding an investigation like the one into EthereumWhether recent events around crypto as an election issue, the ETH ETF approvals, votes for FIT21 and the repeal of SAB 121, and David Hirsch’s resignation, might be connected to the decision to close this investigationWhether the Biden administration has shifted its stance on crypto and whether Gensler should remain as chairHow the SEC might still go after stakingWhether restaking, such as pioneered by EigenLayer, is safe from regulatory actionsWhy the SEC might be pursuing different judgments in various jurisdictions for MetaMask and Coinbase WalletWhat crucial evidence from the closed Ethereum 2.0 investigation could strengthen Coinbase's defense in its ongoing lawsuitWhy the SEC's aggressive stance on various crypto enforcement actions seems to remain unchanged despite closing the Ethereum 2.0 investigationWhy Sam and Laura believe Solana should not be considered a security, despite the SEC naming it as such in various crypto casesHow the SEC’s argument about an “ecosystem” is nonsensical, according to Laura BrookoverWhat the implications of the closed investigation are for the cases of Kraken and RippleWhat Sam and Laura B. are watching out for in terms of regulation and ongoing legal casesVisit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.comThank you to our sponsors!PolkadotGuests:Laura Brookover, Senior Counsel & Head of Litigation and Investigations at ConsensysPrevious appearance on Unchained: Consensys’s Lawsuit Against The SEC: Will It End Gensler's ‘Unlawful Power Grab’?Sam Enzer, Partner at Cahill Gordon & ReindelPrevious appearances on Unchained:The Real Reason Why the SEC Might Be Going After EthereumHow 'a Criminal Choice' Got Sam Bankman-Fried a 25-Year Prison SentenceWhy the SEC’s Case Against Coinbase Is So Significant for CryptoWhy SBF’s Testimony So Far Has Likely Already Doomed HimAnother Bad Week for Sam Bankman-Fried in His Criminal TrialWhy These Lawyers Say It’s Over for SBF-But His Only Hail Mary Is to TestifySBF Trial: How Sam Bankman-Fried’s Lawyers Might Try and Win His CaseSBF’s Lawyers Could Be Annoying the Judge How Might That Impact the Trial?LinksEthereum ‘Survives the SEC’Consensys announcement blog Consensys’ threadLaura Brookover’s tweet on the investigation being closed.Investigation Termination LetterFortune: Ethereum wins a major battle, but its war with the SEC is far from over CNBC: Consensys’ head of litigation provides new details after SEC closes probe into crypto firmConsensys lawsuit against the SECOriginal Press ReleaseConsensys V.

Coinbase has launched its new smart wallet with partners such as DeFi lending protocol Moonwell, offering them freebies they can pass onto consumers to get more people on-chain. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.Coinbase’s “on-chain summer” has kicked off with the launch of its new smart wallet. This interview with Luke Youngblood, founding contributor to Moonwell, gives a peek at how it’s sweetening the pot for developers and users alike. In this episode, Youngblood describes how smart wallets are different from traditional wallets, how they do away with past security issues, and the more minor potential risks that still do exist with smart wallets. He also gives details on the ways that Coinbase is trying to use its smart wallet to get users on-chain: making it much easier to transact on-chain directly from their Coinbase accounts, subsidizing gas costs for certain dapps, and making sure everything is web-accessible. Plus, he explains why Moonwell chose Base, how it is branching out to non-crypto native DeFi users, such as populations that only have mobile phones and not desktop computers in geographies like Africa, Latin America, and Asia, and how the DeFi lending protocol differentiates itself from bigger ones that have established a beachhead on Base. Show highlights:How smart wallets differ from traditional wallets and embedded walletsWhy Luke is excited to be working with Coinbase smart walletWhat happens if the user loses the device linked to their smart walletHow hard it would be for a hacker to try to get access to the assets in this smart walletHow Coinbase is initially paying for user gas fees on dapps like Moonwell and other launch partnersHow Coinbase’s Magic Spend feature enables users to transact onchain straight from their Coinbase accountsHow Coinbase might keep paying gas fees for some dapps even after the initial launch periodWhy the smart wallet is also accessible via the web, and not just through an appWhy Moonwell has focused on lending and borrowingWhy Moonwell chose to build on Base as opposed to, say, SolanaMoonwell’s plans to grow How having access to Coinbase’s user base changes Moonwell’s strategy for attracting usersVisit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.comThank you to our sponsors!  iTrustCapital  |  PolkadotGuest |  Luke YoungbloodLinks |  Previous coverage on Unchained:Coinbase Smart Wallet: Coinbase Launches Its Smart Wallets, Dubbing It Crypto’s ‘IPhone Moment’Wallets: Why (Almost) Everyone in Ethereum Is So Excited About a Wallet-Related ProposalWhat Are Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs) in Ethereum?An Introduction to ERC-4337 (Account Abstraction) StandardBase: How Ethereum’s Dencun Upgrade Could Lead to the Rise of Millions of Layer 3sDencun Day One: Ethereum Layer 2 Networks See Drastic Drop in Transaction FeesBase Daily Transactions Spike to 2 Million Post Dencun Upgrade Why Base’s Creator Thinks Social Apps Will Be a ‘Huge Part’ of the Layer 2 Blockchain’s SuccessBase TVL Hits $4 Billion as Transactions Per Second Surpass Ethereum3 Reasons Why Layer 2 Network Base Has More Than Doubled Its Total Value Locked This YearEthereum Layer 2s:Ethereum L2 Networks Reach Record High of 7 Million Distinct AddressesUnchained Podcast is Produced by Laura Shin Media, LLC.  Distributed by CoinDesk.

Former CFTC chair Chris Giancarlo and his former chief innovation officer Daniel Gorfine say the US is falling behind in the crypto race, but could use stablecoins—and a CBDC—to protect its interests.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.In this episode, Laura Shin speaks with former CFTC chairman Chris Giancarlo and former CFTC chief innovation officer Daniel Gorfine on the pressing need for the U.S. to safeguard the dollar.

Erik Voorhees' latest venture, Venice, is a private, uncensorable, open-source AI agent run on decentralized computation. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.Erik Voorhees, a crypto OG, has launched Venice, a private, uncensorable, open-source competitor to OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude, powered by a decentralized crypto network. In the episode, Erik and Venice’s COO Teana Baker-Taylor delve into the problems with censorship and data in current AI agents, including how they create honeypots of information about users’ search history for hackers, or that they can be absurdly politically correct, such as refusing to create images of Caucasian people. As they point out, there’s also the risk that the companies managing them could be censoring the models to please the Chinese government, in order to access the market in that country. They talk about their plan for Venice to gain market share, considering that DuckDuckGo, a privacy-preserving competitor to Google, has a much smaller market share. And they explain why they intend for Venice to eventually use the compute of Morpheus, or other decentralized crypto-powered compute networks. They also critique the SEC’s current regulatory approach to crypto, calling it “a joke.” Additionally, they explore the concept of AI agents using cryptocurrencies as their primary currency.Show highlights:Why Erik decided to move into artificial intelligence and merge it with cryptoWhat problems decentralized AI would solve and why it's hard to solve sexist and racist views in LLMsThe differences between ChatGPT, and other similar products, and Venice AIWhy privacy is so important for users, according to Erik, and how Venice doesn't store the users' informationHow central governments could manipulate information to their own benefit and how to avoid itWhether people will shift from using search engines to LLMsWhat Morpheus is and its goal to provide decentralized computation for AIHow Erik and Teana believe crypto and AI will continue to work together Erik's and Teana's thoughts on some of the recent government actions against founders of crypto privacy services such as Samourai Wallet and Tornado CashWhy Erik believes that the SEC has become a jokeVisit Unchained’s website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.comFirst Bits + Bips episode: Bits + Bips: Does Macroeconomics Point to a Potential Crypto Supercycle?Thank you to our sponsors!  Polkadot  | VaultCraftGuests:Erik Voorhees, Founder and CEO of Venice AIPrevious appearances on Unchained:Erik Voorhees and Cobie on Why FTX Loaned Out Customers’ AssetsWhy ShapeShift’s Erik Voorhees Thinks Toxic Bitcoin Maximalism Is BullshitShapeShift’s Erik Voorhees on How Crypto Will Separate Money and StateTeana Baker-Taylor, COO at Venice AILinks | Previous coverage on Unchained crypto/AI:When AI and Blockchain Meet, How Can Each Technology Benefit?The Chopping Block: Why AI Will Change the Course of History in Crypto5 Use Cases of AI in BlockchainA Beginner's Guide to AI TokensVenice AI:Erik’s thread announcing Venice The Separation of Mind and StateArchitecture:About Morpheus.NetworkMessari: What is Akash Network?LLMs:MIT Technology Review: LLMs become more covertly racist with human interventionChina Talk: Censorship’s Impact on China’s Chatbots - by Nicholas WelchRecent cases on privacy:CoinDesk: Samourai Wallet Founders Arrested and Charged With Money LaunderingCointelegraph: DOJ’s Tornado Cash arguments show ‘obvious disdain for privacy’ — LawyerCNBC: North Korea crypto hacking activity soars to record high in 2023, new report showsReuters: Exclusive: UN experts investigate 58 cyberattacks worth $3 bln by North KoreaErik’s post on the right to have privacy-Unchained Podcast is Produced by Laura Shin Media, LLC.  Distributed by CoinDesk.
