Podcast: BanklessPublished On: Fri Nov 07 2025
Description: Is the crypto bull market really over, or just pausing while AI takes the spotlight? On this week’s Weekly Rollup, Ryan and guest co-host Haseeb break down Bitcoin’s 10/10 crash, hidden leverage, and the “Bitcoin silent IPO” thesis. They also cover the $128M Balancer hack, DeFi’s decentralization debate, L2 vanity metrics, Brian Armstrong’s prediction market stunt, and why Peter Thiel says Bitcoin’s becoming a BlackRock coin. ------ 📣UNISWAP UNO DECK GIVEAWAY | COMPLETE THE SURVEY TO ENTER https://www.bankless.com/survey ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🪙FRAXNET | MINT, REDEEM, EARN https://bankless.cc/fraxnet 🦄UNISWAP | SWAP ON UNICHAIN https://bankless.cc/unichain 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR L2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle 💤EIGHT SLEEP | IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP https://bankless.cc/eight-sleep 💠BIT DIGITAL ($BTBT) | ETH TREASURY https://bankless.cc/bit-digital We’re being compensated by Bit Digital (NASDAQ BTBT) for this segment promoting their company and BTBT.
