The Chopping Block: RWA Perps Go Parabolic, ClawdBot, & Superstate's $82M Raise

The podcast explores the evolving landscape of crypto trading and software engineering due to new technologies. It examines the rise of HIP3 markets and real-world asset tokenization, noting a shift towards commodities trading, particularly precious metals, driven by both crypto natives and possibly new users from Asia. The conversation covers different models of tokenization, including "bootleg" tokens and issuer-led approaches. The group also analyzes the impact of agentic coding and tools like ClawdBot (now MoltBot) on software engineering, suggesting a potential devaluation of traditional coding skills and a shift towards engineering management. The discussion touches on the need for crypto exchanges to evolve into "everything exchanges" to retain users and the potential for AI-driven prediction markets.
