Join Professor Chris as he leads a panel educating the audience on the news of the week in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and blockchain investing.
On the panel this week:
- Our rotating panelist for the week, Web3 and GameFi content creator Lito is back on panel!
- An award-winning author, game designer, speaker, entrepreneur and CEO of Stone Blade Entertainment, home to Ascension and Solforge Fusion, the onchain hybrid TCG, Justin Gary!
We focused on the story and web3 roots of Solforge Fusion and their SFG token in the back half of the podcast, but before then, we tackled the following news items to educate and get fantastic takes on from our panelists:
- Google's release of the Agentic Payment Platform, or AP2, with more than 60 partners and institutions based in web2 and web3. What does this mean for commerce and removing as much friction as possible for industries like GameFi?
- Basecamp from Coinbase's Layer 2 chain Base is this week, and part of the news is that they're exploring a Base network token after 2 years of not having one, and they've built an interesting two-way bridge between Base and Solana for developers to access token liquidity in both ecosystems, which Justin's team has already employed using Layer Zero's OFT tech.
- Bo Hines left his post from being President Trump's special advisor for crypto for a space in the private sector. We now know it's to lead the USA-only stablecoin for Tether, who issues USDT, the market-leading stablecoin, under the ticker USAT. It's GENIUS compliant on arrival, and I'm curious how US companies will embrace it as opposed to their own stablecoins now that GENIUS was passed and signed into law.
