    Join Matthew Nay and the Enterprise team (Sunny Shi, Kinji Steimetz, Andrew Dyer, Chris Davis & Dylan Bane) as they shoot the sh*t about:

    🔹 Macro trends: BTC’s outperformance, S&P's rally, and tariff drama between the US and China.

    🔹 AI subnets & decentralized training: BitTensor’s shoots, gradients, and more.

    🔹 Ethereum’s L1 scaling push: Is this the turnaround moment for ETH?

    🔹 Stablecoin meta: Mastercard x Circle, Ripple’s rumored bid for Circle, and more.

    🔹 Hyperliquid flywheel: HIP3, staking incentives, and why it might be the next top-10 protocol.

    🔹 Onchain activity check-in: Launchpad wars, NFT grinds, and Treeverse MMOs.

    This one’s jam-packed. Whether you’re macro-curious, AI-obsessed, or just tracking new alt metas—there’s alpha for everyone.

    💡 Ask Messari Copilot: What would it take for Ethereum L1 to recapture DeFi mindshare from L2s and alt L1s—performance, incentives, or something entirely different?
