The approval of Bitcoin ETFs has both legitimization and inclusion implications, but the impact on the market is still uncertain. Will a Grayscale ETF Approval Affect Bitcoin's Decentralization and Future Blockchain Technology?
In this episode of "Money Reimagined," hosts Michael Casey and Sheila Warren discuss their experience at Davos and their interview with Michael Sonnenshein, CEO of Grayscale.

Polychain Capital founder and CIO Olaf Carlson-Wee has been through every single bubble in crypto history, from Bitcoin’s rise past the single digits in 2012 to the ICO craze of 2017 to 2021’s NFT mania, and he says his main thesis about crypto has remained consistent since the beginning. That is, that crypto constitutes an “incentive vortex” that will replace the world’s preoccupation with country-backed currencies.
Carlson-Wee, who was the first employee at Coinbase, joins Unchained to discuss the significance of the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs, how he successfully navigated all the industry blow-ups in 2022, the challenges of balancing incentives for early adopters versus new users, why EigenLayer is so significant, why Worldcoin’s distribution strategy is a “disaster,” and the strange places that the intersection between crypto and AI could take us.
Show highlights:
Why Olaf sees the current market as the cusp of another bull run and how his thesis has remained consistent since 2011
How the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs marks a significant milestone
Why criticisms of the crypto space are really criticisms of money in general
The fundamental differences between Web3 applications and the Web2 ecosystem and why they matter
The importance of fair token distribution in enhancing the value of Web3 projects
When Olaf expects Bitcoin to replace legacy financial systems
The areas and technologies Olaf and his fund are keen to invest in
Why Olaf thinks a modular blockchain architecture is superior to a monolithic one in the long term
How EigenLayer is innovating to enable new types of applications and whether it competes with Celestia
How Polychain managed to avoid being hurt by the major market blowups of 2022, including Terra and FTX
The evolution of the space from an ideologically driven to a more pragmatic approach
The significance of incentive design in crypto ecosystems and the trade-offs involved in system design
Olaf’s perspective on the recent rise of points systems
The growth of privacy-focused crypto projects and the potential for private blockchains to become the norm
Why he thinks Worldcoin’s distribution strategy is a “disaster”

On Wednesday, a federal court in New York heard oral arguments in Coinbase’s motion to dismiss the SEC’s case against it for, among other things, allegedly acting as an unregulated securities exchange. Notably, Judge Katherine Polk Failla pressed the SEC to explain how it has jurisdiction over Coinbase in the case by defining what it considers a security.
Sam Enzer, a partner at Cahill Gorden & Reindel who represents Coinbase but not in this matter, joined Unchained to discuss why this case is so significant for the crypto industry, how he believes the government contradicted itself on the crucial definition of what constitutes a security, why he thinks the judge will not dismiss the case at this early stage, how the Ripple and Terraform Labs cases could be used by each side, and why he thinks Judge Failla is such a perfect choice to rule in this case.
Show highlights:
Why SEC v Coinbase holds important implications for the U.S. crypto ecosystem
What the SEC alleges against Coinbase, focusing on its trading platform, wallet, and staking services
How Coinbase forcefully counters the SEC's claims as it strives to get the case dismissed

What “strict liability” means and its frequent mention in this legal battle
What takeaways from the Ripple and Terraform Labs cases offer about secondary market sales
Why Sam believes Judge Katherine Polk Failla is exceptionally well-suited for this case
