Ryan and Ejaaz are joined by Jansen Teng, co-founder of Virtuals, a decentralized platform that has launched over 11,000 AI agents and generated more than $35 million in fees. Virtuals isn’t just another protocol—it’s an entirely new kind of “digital nation” where AI agents hold their own wallets, strike deals with other agents, and even hire humans to accomplish their goals.
We dive into how these agents first exploded onto the scene, why controlling their own money changes the AI game, and what “agent commerce” means for crypto at large.

How do you find an asset with 1000x asymmetric return? How do you find the next bitcoin?
Our guest today is Dan Morehead, founder and managing director at Pantera Capital. He has been buying bitcoin since 2013 when the price was just $65. His fund is up over 100x since then.
There’s a lot to learn from Dan’s story, about early bitcoin history, but also the pattern recognition required to identify asymmetric assets. We cover price predictions, 4 year cycles vs a supercycle, how much upside is still in crypto, the trump administration and his thoughts on a strategic bitcoin reserve

Ejaaz returns to break down the latest surge in AI Agent innovation alongside Ryan this week, covering the rapid evolution at the intersection of crypto and AI.
They explore how AI agents are making onchain payments to each other, autonomously ordering real-world goods, and even running their own Ethereum validators. They also dive into the new frameworks and partnerships—like ai16z’s collaboration with Stanford and Virtuals’ explosive growth—propelling these agents into cultural, economic, and infrastructural prominence.
Will autonomous AI agents fundamentally reshape crypto market dynamics, creating new paradigms for value and coordination that spark unprecedented growth?

This week on the Weekly Rollup: Bitcoin briefly plunged to $93K amidst $1.1B in crypto liquidations, marking the largest single-day event since 2021, with $815M wiped from long positions alone. Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs hit a record inflow day of $428M, and Layer 2 solutions like Mantle are driving the ecosystem forward with nearly 1M ETH bridged to Base. On the regulatory front, the crypto world sees both challenges and opportunities as Trump appoints David Sacks as Crypto Czar while Microsoft shareholders reject Bitcoin on their balance sheet. With bullish predictions, such as Bitcoin reaching $250K, and major milestones like 1B unique crypto addresses, the crypto market continues its rollercoaster of volatility and growth.

Ejaaz is back with David to break down the latest in the explosive world of AI Agents.
This week, they uncover how Truth Terminal’s roadmap could revolutionize autonomous on-chain transactions, why ai16z's Eliza framework is poised to reshape multi-chain agent deployment, and how zerebro’s creative push into music and art is expanding the reach of AI in culture. They also discuss the growing institutional attention on AI agents, from $20M funding announcements to agents acting as venture capitalists.
Can AI agents truly become the catalysts for crypto's next bull market?

What is the role of AI in crypto, and how will it shape the future?
AI agents are taking the crypto world by storm, introducing unprecedented scale and efficiency to Web3. At the center of this revolution is Shaw, the creator of the Eliza framework and ai16z DAO, a groundbreaking initiative that’s reshaping decentralized investments. The ai16z DAO has rapidly gained traction, becoming the #1 trending GitHub repository last month, with over 3,300 stars and 880+ forks.
In this episode, we explore how Shaw and his team are leading a community-driven, open-source movement to integrate AI and crypto. From managing DAOs to bridging Web3 with real-world applications, we dive into how the Eliza framework is setting the groundwork for a potential AGI future. This is more than just an AI experiment—it’s the beginning of a new paradigm for both industries.

What is Ethereum’s North Star, and does it even need one?
There has been angst in the Ethereum community, growing over the last year, as Ethereum has become squeezed by its competition. Bitcoin’s story as money is growing in mainstream society. Solana has captured the hot ball of money in crypto. And Celestia’s data availability continues to progress at a faster rate than what is found at home in Ethereum.
This is Ethereum’s Three-Front War, a topic we covered in a recent episode with Justin Drake. And today we‘re joined by Jon Charbonneau and Mike Ippolito to contextualize and diagnose what Ethereum needs in order to thrive in this competitive landscape.

Bitcoin hit $100K! To kick off the show we dive into the wild ride that brought us here—from Satoshi’s first block to retail mania today. NYC Mayor Eric Adams says, “I told you so,” after his Bitcoin paycheck gamble pays off. We unpack Marc Andreessen’s revelations on Joe Rogan about political debanking and welcome a new SEC chairman with a pro-crypto agenda, BYE GARY. Plus, Hyperliquid’s massive airdrop, XRP flipping Solana, and Alex Mashinsky pleading guilty—it’s a packed week for crypto!

Last month, Andrew Huang (Conduit) and Uma Roy (Succinct) announced OP Succinct, a groundbreaking collaboration that blends Succinct’s SP1 zkVM with Conduit’s Rollup-as-a-Service platform. This new zkEVM promises 1-hour finality, breaking away from the traditional 7-day delays seen with optimistic rollups.
In this episode, we unpack what makes OP Succinct a game-changer and how it challenges the conventional ZK rollup landscape. Why is this Rust-based zkVM approach so different? Is ZK rollup tech finally ready for prime time? And could fast finality and the end of fraud proofs be the key to solving Ethereum’s fragmentation problem?

Is the Beam Chain the endgame for Ethereum?
At Devcon, Justin Drake presented what he called his most ambitious proposal to date! Beam Chain, a roadmap which fell very flat in public discourse.
In this episode we fill the gaps of this reaction and we discuss the rise of Credible Competition to the three major components of Ethereum Roadmap. Execution, which competes with Solana, Data Availability which competes with Celestia and Consensus, which competes with Bitcoin.
So what’s Ethereum’s strategy for winning this Three Front War against three legitimate competitors? Stay tuned!

Memecoin mania spiraled out of control this week, with shocking livestream rug pulls and Pump.fun disabling its livestream feature due to disturbing behavior. Meanwhile, Base and Farcaster hit record TPS and inflows as memecoin trading heats up.
In Washington, Trump nominated pro-crypto Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary. What does this mean for crypto policy? Plus, a surprising investor joins Trump’s World Liberty Financial raise—we’ll reveal who.
And a major court victory for crypto privacy: judges ruled OFAC overstepped in the Tornado Cash case, declaring immutable smart contracts unsanctionable. Does this mean Tornado Cash is back?

Matt Cutler is the founder of Blocknative and the combination of a fantastic storyteller and a fantastic data analyst.
Blocknative is not his first company, It’s his fifth. Matt’s first company was an internet company that he started in the 90s well before the dot com boom and he founded a company in every major internet era since.
In today’s Bankless Summit talk, we hear from Matt’s experience and wisdom so we can learn how the rise of blockchain technology contrasts with the rise of the Internet and why we are here in the first place.
