    MegaETH Token Launch with Co-Founders Shuyao and Lei

    30/04/2026 | 1 h 14 min
    $MEGA token is live, but the bigger story is what the launch says about the future of L2s. Co-Founders Shuyao and Lei join Bankless to unpack why MegaETH tied its TGE to app milestones, why USDM and proximity markets could become core revenue streams, and how the team is thinking about appchains, AI agents, security, and Stage 2 decentralization.

    $200 Oil by June?—The Biggest Oil Shock in History | Rory Johnston on The Hormuz Crisis

    29/04/2026 | 2 h 9 min
    Rory Johnston, the “oil quant,” joins us to explain why the Hormuz crisis could become the biggest oil shock in history.

    Oil markets are already screaming. Supply is trapped, inventories are being drained, and the market may still be underpricing the scale of the disruption. 

    If the Strait stays closed, Rory says the path to $200 oil is no longer crazy. It may be the next stop.

    This is oil, geopolitics, inflation, and markets all colliding at once.

    Has Bitcoin Bottomed? Jordi Visser on AI, Inflation, and Moats

    27/04/2026 | 1 h 59 min
    Has Bitcoin already bottomed, or are investors still looking at the wrong signals? Jordi Visser joins Bankless to argue that AI is destroying software moats, reshaping inflation, and pushing capital toward scarce assets, with Bitcoin at the center of that shift. We get into his “AI is the new QE” thesis, the scarcity-versus-abundance portfolio, why the S&P may struggle in an AI regime, what a more muted Bitcoin cycle looks like, and where he still sees upside across the rest of crypto.

    ROLLUP: $300M DeFi Hack Fallout | Arbitrum Freezes Funds | AI Deflation Debate | Productive ETH

    24/04/2026 | 1 h 30 min
    Markets are hitting new highs, but crypto just took a major hit. Ryan and David break down the $300M KelpDAO exploit and why it exposed deeper flaws across DeFi and Layer 2s, including Arbitrum’s controversial decision to freeze funds. They also explore whether AI will drive deflation or inequality, unpack a new bullish ETH thesis, and debate why the biggest risks in crypto may be building beneath the surface.

    23/04/2026 | 1 h 13 min
    A $280M DeFi exploit exposed the hidden fragility of crypto’s most trusted systems.

    Dan Elitzer and Odysseus break down how the attack happened, why bridge risk and protocol composability made the damage so severe, what Arbitrum’s intervention means for immutability, and why DeFi now needs an aerospace-grade security mindset to survive the AI era.
