Hey all, before we begin, I've got some exciting news to share. We've been working on something a little wild behind the scenes. It's called Unshade On Air, a revamped livestream series and podcast feed that takes you way beyond the headlines. It features sharp, maybe even controversial, takes on major events and the kind of on chain intel that never makes it to your feed. It premieres this week and it's packed. Way more shows, way more often, each one laser focused on a different slice of crypto and finance. First up is Decks in the City, where the wallets are cold and the takes are hot with
The Balancer exploit that recently happened. Right? This incident, just like others that have come before it, right, revealed this really interesting tension. I think it's this idea that, like, decentralization is not binary.
Because ultimately, after a hack or an exploit, like, I and I know institutions and users, don't wanna have to wait around and be like, well, is the project gonna do anything to work for me? Is the community gonna do anything to work for me? Is the government gonna say that this is a crime even though it's unsure if this is a crime?
For all those betting on Polymarket as to crypto market structure passage, this is not investment advice, but I am I agree with V. I am very bearish that this is gonna happen soon despite the president making this a mandate, like, get this done. Hi, all. Welcome to Dex in the city where the wallets are cold and the takes are hot. There are a
lot of boss women in crypto, and
we wanna make sure you hear from some of them. We're gonna get to intros in a second, but we first wanna frame why we're doing this. There are a lot of crypto podcasts out there, and you could be listening to any of those. So why should you be listening to us? Well, between the three of us, we've worked in senior roles in DeFi, CeFi, crypto banking, venture capital, infrastructure, and more. We have insights on tradifying crypto. We're on the front lines of crypto policy, and we're pros at regulatory engagement. We are also very good at breaking down the more complicated concepts into English.
Hi, everyone. I am so glad we are finally doing this. I wanna do a quick shout out to Laura and the entire Unchained team. As you can probably tell, the technical infrastructure that goes into this is very, very complex, and they have been working on it for a long time, and we just get to join for the ride. So thank you guys so much. So I'm excited to do this pod because the three of us spend so much time talking about this space and really debating off mic and sometimes over drinks, which we'll maybe do sometimes on this pod as well. And now I can force the two of y'all to hang out with me ev
Awesome, Jesse. And everyone needs to listen because, hopefully, one day, you'll get to hear the famous Jesse Brooks rant, which is my personal favorite in terms of engagement. Let's next move on to V from the SEC to Web three. V.
Hi, everyone. I'm V Lee, the general counsel at VEDA, where we're building infrastructure, DeFi scale safely, something we'll be talking about today. So I've been in crypto for over four years, first at a digital identity protocol, then at at a crypto VC, and most recently was the GC of the only federally regulated crypto bank, which is actually still the only federally regulated crypto company in The US period, which I think tells you a lot about how we still have to go on the policy front.
