Eric Conner: The 52 Month DeFi Bear Market Is Over (Full Thesis)
Eric Conner says something is happening in crypto he's never seen in 14 years of watching these markets: coins like Zcash and the perp exchanges are decoupling from Bitcoin entirely. The EIP-1559 co-author and OG Ethereum developer explains why he refuses to pick sides between Hyperliquid and Lighter, breaks down the meme-stock trading phenomenon eating into Robinhood's tokenized stocks, and reacts live to major new CFTC guidance that could unlock tokenized assets as collateral. Eric Conner is co-author of Ethereum's EIP-1559 and an OG Ethereum developer and investor who has been active in crypto since 2012. AI Supercycle is Rollup's series on the intersection of AI and crypto, powered by NEAR. 00:00 Intro 02:09 Eric Fumbled Venice At Sub $1 04:10 Own Both Hype And Lighter And Chill 06:13 Eric Sold ETH To Buy Hyperliquid 08:14 Why Eric Stopped Being An ETH Maxi 10:33 Perps Are The Most Obvious Trade Out There 14:24 Tokenized Stocks Will Get Meme Coin'd 18:54 CFTC Staff Clears Tokenized Collateral Live 22:14 ETH Does Not Need A Thesis To Pump 27:49 Robinhood Chain Already $500M Annualized 29:24 Wall Street Has Not Priced Robinhood Chain 35:31 Meme Stock Outpaces Its Own Market Cap 39:23 52 Month DeFi Bear Market Is Over Guest Socials: Eric Conner X: https://x.com/econoar Partners: If you run concentrated liquidity positions you know the grind.
