Welcome Bankless Nation, to the Summer of Protocols!| Summer of Protocols is an ongoing research and evangelism effort that aims to catalyze broad interest in the study of protocols as a first-class concept for thinking about the world. To explain a little more about what Summer of Protocols is all about, we brought Tim Beiko of the Ethereum Foundation and Venkat Rao of the Ribbonfarm blog on the podcast. Additionally, this episode contains three short interviews with three of the 35 total Summer of Protocols researchers.  You’re going to experience something a little different here on the show today. Some more storytelling, a different kind of frontier exploration, but all around the idea of protocols.  ------ 🎧 Listen On Your Favorite Podcast Player:  https://bankless.cc/Podcast  ------ TIMESTAMPS & RESOURCES 0:00 Summer of Protocols Explained 12:05 Sarah Friend https://summerofprotocols.com/research/good-death  https://twitter.com/isthisanart   37:16 Timber Schroff https://summerofprotocols.com/research/module-three/safe-new-world   https://twitter.com/tmbr_ss   1:01:52 Nahee Kim https://summerofprotocols.com/research/re-move   https://twitter.com/AppNahee   1:18:44 Summer of Protocols Future https://forum.summerofprotocols.com/t/blockchain-protocol-problems-braindump/223  https://summerofprotocols.com/research/sop2024   1:28:59 Closing  ------ Not financial or tax advice.

The Bitcoin ETF was a huge win for Crypto. What’s next? Will an Ethereum ETF be approved? We brought Matt Hougan & Ryan Rasmussen of Bitwise to explore exactly that.  We go through what made the BTC ETF so successful, what we need to replicate the process for Ethereum and what comes after the ETH ETF. ------ 📣 PERMISSIONLESS III | BUY TICKETS NOW  Bankless Citizens get 30% off: https://www.bankless.com/tools/perks  Use BANKLESS10 for 10% off: https://bankless.cc/PermissionlessIII  ------ 🎧 SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24  https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2    ⁠  🔗CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON https://bankless.cc/Celo    🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION https://bankless.cc/toku    🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle  💸 CRYPTO TAX CALCULATOR | USE CODE BANK30 https://bankless.cc/CTC  🦄 UNISWAP | SWAP SMARTER https://bankless.cc/uniswap  ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 6:50 Bitcoin ETFs So Far 10:40 BTC ETF 2nd Acceleration 22:56 Crypto Default Allocation 26:31 Who’s Buying the BTC ETF? 28:59 Bitcoin vs Gold 36:46 When ETH ETF? 46:39 Forces at Play 53:25 ETH ETF Derivatives 58:38 ETH ETF Price Impact 1:02:10 ETH Narratives 1:08:31 What’s Next 1:12:02 Closing Thoughts ------ RESOURCES Matt Hougan https://twitter.com/Matt_Hougan  Ryan Rasmussen https://twitter.com/RasterlyRock   Bitwise https://bitwiseinvestments.com/   ------ Not financial or tax advice.
