How about an hour of alpha from @AlexisYellow to power you into the weekend?

@GrabowskiDylan of @SmartEconomyPod hears from Alexis on

Counterparty risk ...and why it remains one of crypto’s biggest unsolved problems

How state channels enable high-frequency, trustless trading

Why centralized exchanges still dominate volume despite DeFi growth and how Yellow addresses that by allowing users to access exchange liquidity with lower custody risk

Why AI agents could become the primary users of crypto infrastructure, creating fresh demand for blockchain rails
