In this episode, Carmelo and Sasha sit down with Ryan to explore the infrastructure layer most builders take for granted, what institutional adoption of staking actually looks like, and why a former teacher might be the best person in the room when it comes to explaining Web3 to a legislator.Ryan is the Head of Protocol Partnerships at GlobalStake, an institutional-grade staking platform handling everything from RPC data infrastructure to Shariah-compliant staking.🔹 Topics Covered:- Ryan's transition from a career in education to Web3 partnerships- Debunking the classic "crypto needs more education" narrative- Who is driving the real demand for staking today- How non-Web3 corporations view on-chain governance- The future of yield: LSDs, Restaking, and institutional capitalBanks vs. Stablecoins: The yield war and the Clarity Act#crypto #cryptonews #cryptocurrency #blockchain #web3 #startups #investing #entrepreneur --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------📍Useful Links for Arcanum Ventures:👉 Arcanum Ventures X: x.com/ArcanumVentures👉 Arcanum Ventures LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/arcanum-ventures/👉 Arcanum Venture Website: https://www.arcanum.ventures/👉 Arcanum Telegram Community: https://t.me/Arcanumventures👉 Work With Us: https://www.arcanum.ventures/workwithusform/👉 Arcanum Media Center: https://www.arcanum.ventures/media-center/--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------📍Useful Links for Ryan Haczynski & GlobalStake👉 Ryan Haczynski LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-haczynski/👉 Ryan Haczynski X: https://x.com/ThePhunky1👉 GlobalStake Website: https://globalstake.io/👉 GlobalStake YouTube: @Global-Stake👉 GlobalStake LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/globalstake/👉 GlobalStake X: https://x.com/GlobalStake--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------📍Disclaimer:Arcanum Ventures is not currently invested in or advising with GlobalStake.
