Stablecoin Yield Showdown, How AI Impacts Crypto, Markets Update w/ Josh Lim

Description

We begin with DEX in the City, hosted by Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos (GC at StarkWare) and Jessi Brooks (Ribbit Capital), joined by Edward Woodford, Co-founder and CEO of Zero Hash. The panel breaks down why Zero Hash walked away from a potential multi-billion-dollar acquisition by Mastercard, where stablecoins are headed next, and how the stablecoin rewards fight is shaping Senate crypto legislation. We also unpack CLARITY’s uncertain path, the growing political stakes around crypto regulation, and the strange Moltbook/MOLT episode — where AI bots, memecoins, and security risks collided in real time. At 1:00pm ET, Unchained continues with a conversation on crypto and AI’s impact on the economy, featuring Michael Casey and David Mattin. The discussion explores OpenClaw, AI agents, energy constraints, and what a post-human or agent-driven economy could mean for productivity, markets, and crypto infrastructure. We wrap with a state of the markets interview as Laura Shin speaks with Joshua Lim, Global Co-Head of Markets at FalconX. Topics include whether bitcoin and ether have bottomed, why BTC has lagged gold, what’s happening in crypto derivatives and perps, the impact of Hyperliquid’s growth, AI-crypto narratives, and whether stress in leveraged DATs could spill into broader markets.
