Bankless – Details, episodes & analysis

Brent Johnson returns to Bankless to update the Dollar Milkshake Theory and explain why the de-dollarization narrative misses the bigger trend. He argues markets may want out of the dollar, but the Eurodollar system keeps pulling demand back in, and “dollar down” headlines do not break the framework. Brent also covers how debt stress can spill into political instability, why stablecoins and the GENIUS Act could accelerate re-dollarization, and what this means for monetary sovereignty. We close with China’s counter-strategy and how Brent thinks about positioning from here. --- 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium --- 👑BANKLESS PREMIUM | AD-FREE & BONUS EPISODES https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium 🎯THE DEFI REPORT | ONCHAIN INSIGHTS https://bankless.cc/the-defi-report 💰ICO WATCH | UPCOMING PUBLIC TOKEN SALES https://bankless.cc/ico-watch --- TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 1:20 De-Dollarizing vs Re-Dollarizing: Milkshake Recap 4:18 What a Sovereign Debt Crisis Actually Means 5:45 Central Banks as “Professional Can-Kickers” 8:56 Can They Slowly Let the Air Out? 11:03 Can AI Productivity Save the System? 13:06 2025 Setup: The Narrative for Dedollarization 18:06 BRICS: Conference Talk vs Structural Reality 23:37 Store of Value vs Medium of Exchange 34:24 “Crisis = Dollar Up” (and the April Exception) 39:06 Stablecoin Redollarization and the GENIUS Act 47:20 Monetary Sovereignty, Faster Bank Runs, Faster Dollarization 52:34 China’s Response: Two Currency Stacks 54:21 Positioning as an Investor --- RESOURCES Brent Johnson https://x.com/SantiagoAuFund The Dollar Milkshake Theory https://research.santiagocapital.com/p/the-dollar-milkshake --- Not financial or tax advice.

Crypto is maturing while attention moves elsewhere. In this Weekly Rollup, David Hoffman and Anthony Sassano break down silver, gold, and the S&P hitting new highs, the Aave civil war over control and fees, Uniswap’s unification win, a new pro crypto CFTC chair, and why quantum computing may be Bitcoin’s biggest long term risk. --- BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 👑BANKLESS PREMIUM | AD-FREE & BONUS EPISODES https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium 🎯THE DEFI REPORT | ONCHAIN INSIGHTS https://bankless.cc/the-defi-report 💰ICO WATCH | UPCOMING PUBLIC TOKEN SALES https://bankless.cc/ico-watch --- TIMESTAMPS & RESOURCES 0:00 Intro 1:25 2025 & 2026  6:47 Markets  https://finance.yahoo.com/news/silver-10x-d-p-500-145100823.html https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2003514479649390697 https://x.com/WatcherGuru/status/2003611075116433413 https://x.com/WatcherGuru/status/2003573927407440012 https://x.com/PeterSchiff/status/2004364997401760040 https://x.com/matthew_sigel/status/2006002866507690243 https://x.com/Cointelegraph/status/2006078375924793591 https://x.com/Mrcryptoxwhale/status/2005388225482031317 16:50 Is Aave in a civil war? https://x.com/obsrvgmi/status/2003089533995471074 https://x.com/aave/status/1996591393817473247 https://governance.aave.com/t/aave-cowswap-integration-tokenholder-questions/23530 https://governance.aave.com/t/arfc-aave-token-alignment-phase-1-ownership/23616 https://x.com/StaniKulechov/status/2002933974969315561 https://snapshot.org/#/s:aavedao.eth/proposal/0xbc606159ddeae0184c2086055637d3f357351ec0adc4c9f4150751bc41918eba https://x.com/Marczeller/status/2004494332359741859 https://x.com/StaniKulechov/status/2004503414705643866 https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/aave 29:55 Uniswap UNIfication  https://x.com/haydenzadams/status/2005306028506923234 https://vote.uniswapfoundation.org/proposals/93 41:36 Michael Selig is the new CFTC Chairman https://x.com/cointelegraph/status/2001834127696249077 https://x.com/MichaelSelig/status/2003090594508214534 https://youtube.com/live/fPdqwebmJzE https://youtube.com/live/yIKRSDhAf4A 48:39 Nic Carter says, Quantum is the biggest risk to Bitcoin https://murmurationstwo.substack.com/p/bitcoin-and-the-quantum-problem-part https://x.com/adam3us/status/2002049157662753197 https://x.com/Pledditor/status/2001896737775194208 https://x.com/Fiskantes/status/2002005763343184156 https://x.com/caprioleio/status/2001990974940274921 https://larryswedroe.substack.com/p/the-quantum-computing-threat-to-financial 1:02:11 Anthony’s 2026 Excitement 1:03:31 Closing & Disclaimers --- Not financial or tax advice.

Bitwise’s Matt Hougan and Ryan Rasmussen return with 10 big predictions for 2026. From the case for $1M BTC (and why the classic four-year cycle may be dead) to a world where ETFs soak up more than 100% of new BTC/ETH/SOL supply. We get into Bitcoin volatility vs. mega-cap tech, crypto equities vs. tech equities, and why Polymarket could smash past its 2024 election-era highs. Plus: stablecoins as an “escape valve” that emerging economies may blame for currency stress, on-chain also known as “ETFs 2.0,” and how the Clarity Act could be the starter’s gun for ETH and SOL to run. ------ 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24  https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🔵COINBASE | ETH & BTC BACKED LOANS https://bankless.cc/coinbase-borrow 🪙FRAXNET | MINT, REDEEM, & EARN https://bankless.cc/fraxnet 🦄UNISWAP | CONTINUOUS CLEARING AUCTIONS https://bankless.cc/uniswap-cca 🛞MANTLE | GLOBAL HACKATHON 2025 https://bankless.cc/mantle-hackathon 💤EIGHT SLEEP | IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP https://bankless.cc/eight-sleep 💤EIGHT SLEEP | IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP https://bankless.cc/eight-sleep ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Last Year Predictions 13:12 1.

Recorded live at the Permissionless IV conference, this conversation dives into Ethereum’s strategy to win over Wall Street. Danny Ryan discusses how Etherealize is advising financial institutions to leverage Ethereum’s decentralization, resilience, and credible neutrality, while Joe Lubin explains why ConsenSys is taking a direct approach by accumulating ETH on Sharplink Gaming’s balance sheet, similar to MicroStrategy with Bitcoin. Together, they unpack Ethereum’s strengths, institutional adoption strategies, and what it will take for Ethereum to become the foundation of the next-generation financial system. ------ 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🪙FRAX | SELF SUFFICIENT DeFi https://bankless.cc/Frax 🦄UNISWAP | SWAP ON UNICHAIN https://bankless.cc/unichain 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle 🟠 BINANCE | THE WORLDS #1 CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://bankless.cc/binance ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 3:11 Ethereum's Evolution & Challenges 7:54 Regulatory Tensions & SEC Scrutiny 11:02 Ethereum's Resilience Against Regulation 14:47 Bridging TradFi & Decentralization 16:06 Institutional Adoption of Ethereum 17:19 Ethereum's Path Forward 21:51 Building for the Future 23:40 The Call for Problem Solving 24:41 Ethereum's Leadership Dynamics 33:25 Taking Ethereum to Wall Street 35:17 The Future of SBET & Ether ------ RESOURCES Joe Lubin https://x.com/ethereumjoseph Danny Ryan https://x.com/dannyryan Permissionless IV https://blockworks.co/event/permissionless ------ Not financial or tax advice.

The time has come. With the London Fork just around the corner, the much anticipated EIP-1559 will be implemented. This fundamentally changes the relationship among miners, users, and gas.

This panel, moderated by Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko, is set to discuss the macro and micro shifts to the ecosystem. We've talked about this a lot on Bankless, so it's time to hear from experts around the community about this massive turning point.

NFTs have exploded in 2021, but many coveted pieces are far out of the price range of average DeFi citizens. Enter Fractional, the new protocol for buying, selling, and minting fractions of NFTs.

This breaks apart NFTs and allows anyone to unlock NFT liquidity and open the door for community involvement. To detail this step forward in crypto culture, we bring on Fractional lead dev @Andy8052 for a Live AMA.
