In today’s episode, the guys reflect on the previous 12 months and take a temperature check on where we’re at in the current cycle. We also discuss the latest use case for RWA on-chain lending, with the Patek Philipe NFT loan, the recent new feature releases from Coinbase, and the potential for bipartisan crypto support on The Hill. We finish up reviewing the current seed stage climate, the death of the AI hype, and more!
