They also discuss the Roman Storm verdict, Trump’s surprise $8.7T 401(k) crypto order, and Arthur Hayes selling millions in ETH. Plus, Base’s 33-minute outage, the launch of Succinct’s ZK prover network, and the SEC declaring liquid staking tokens are not securities.<br /><br />---<br />BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:<br /><br />🪙FRAX | SELF SUFFICIENT DeFi<br /><a href="https://bankless.cc/Frax" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://bankless.cc/Frax</a><br /><br />🦄UNISWAP | SWAP ON UNICHAIN<br /><a href="https://bankless.cc/unichain" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://bankless.cc/unichain</a><br /><br />🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK<br /><a href="https://bankless.cc/Mantle" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://bankless.cc/Mantle</a><br /><br />---<br />TIMESTAMPS & RESOURCES<br /><br />0:00 Intro<br /><br />6:17 Markets<br /><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jobs-report-today-july-2025-economy-tariffs-trump-doge/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jobs-report-today-july-2025-economy-tariffs-trump-doge/</a><br /><a href="https://x.com/CryptoHayes/status/1951510939469292023" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/CryptoHayes/status/1951510939469292023</a><br /><a href="https://x.com/EricBalchunas/status/1952346941523701954" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/EricBalchunas/status/1952346941523701954</a><br /><a href="https://x.com/MitchellHODL/status/1948779978579214777" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/MitchellHODL/status/1948779978579214777</a><br /><a href="https://x.com/cburniske/status/1953240847669182937" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/cburniske/status/1953240847669182937</a><br /><br />13:05 Tom Lee becomes the largest crypto holder<br /><a href="https://x.com/WhaleInsider/status/1952386215975469242" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/WhaleInsider/status/1952386215975469242</a><br /><a href="https://www.tradingview.com/chart/1CDu50yK/?symbol=AMEX%3ABMNR" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.tradingview.com/chart/1CDu50yK/?symbol=AMEX%3ABMNR</a><br /><a href="https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1952386046206890262" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1952386046206890262</a><br /><a href="https://youtu.be/iClsnZ1KYSk?si=Ko99PtLiTCiJ_Q-O" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/iClsnZ1KYSk?si=Ko99PtLiTCiJ_Q-O</a><br /><a href="https://x.com/fabdarice/status/1953110071493439604" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/fabdarice/status/1953110071493439604</a><br /><a href="https://www.strategicethreserve.xyz/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.strategicethreserve.xyz/</a><br /><a href="https://x.com/NateGeraci/status/1953272814422937941" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/NateGeraci/status/1953272814422937941</a><br /><a href="https://blockworks.co/analytics/treasury-companies/market-data" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://blockworks.co/analytics/treasury-companies/market-data</a><br /><a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/365645/mei-pharma-litecoin-treasury-strategy-charlie-lee-gsr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.theblock.co/post/365645/mei-pharma-litecoin-treasury-strategy-charlie-lee-gsr</a><br /><br />25:31 Roman Storm’s case came to the end<br /><a href="https://x.com/SDNYnews/status/1953196594876301702" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/SDNYnews/status/1953196594876301702</a><br />​​<a href="https://x.com/valkenburgh/status/1953149843565605015" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/valkenburgh/status/1953149843565605015</a><br /><a href="https://x.com/katiebiber/status/1953235191893549123" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/katiebiber/status/1953235191893549123</a><br /><a href="https://x.com/jchervinsky/status/1953142247504908496" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/jchervinsky/status/1953142247504908496</a><br /><a href="https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1953147290165641407" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1953147290165641407</a><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfKSKz3Kafk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfKSKz3Kafk</a><br /><br />36:10 Executive order -
