Decentral Lens

In this episode of The Weekly Lens, Blutoshi and Disco condense the week's key events into a streamlined show.
They begin by analyzing President Biden's recent veto of the bill to overturn SAB121, which changes how banks manage crypto by turning liabilities into assets. This decision to veto, despite bipartisan support for the bill, has stirred frustration in the crypto community and raises questions about its potential influence on the upcoming election.

The duo then spotlight Wisconsin's bold $163 million pension fund investment in Bitcoin, a major milestone for mainstream crypto adoption.

The episode also covers a brewing rivalry between Texas and New York's financial sectors, with the potential formation of TXSE backed by BlackRock and Citadel, which could challenge the NYSE.
Additionally, they delve into the rapidly growing runes space, where DOG is nearing a $1 billion market cap, and the explosive growth of new tokens on Solana, with over 455,000 launched in May alone. The pair also address the recent CryptoPunk sale at under 30E and what the path forward looks like for the project. And at the end of the show they discuss the Nouns movie Shark, Pickle, Cone and how interesting the NounsDAO project is developing.
Tune in for a concise and insightful episode of The Weekly Lens.
