In this episode of the DeFi Podcast, hosts Bill, Jared, and Rhett dive into the hottest topics shaping the crypto world: the meteoric rise of Trump coin and Trump’s pardon of Ross Ulbricht. Trump coin, a meme coin launched by the former president, shook the market by reaching a $60 billion valuation at its peak, sparking conversations about the normalisation of meme coins and their potential for onboarding new users. The team also discusses Trump’s high-profile pardon of Ross Ulbricht, the creator of Silk Road, highlighting the harsh sentencing disparities in crypto-related crimes and what this moment symbolises for decentralised movements.
The hosts also delve into Avant's highly anticipated launch on Avalanche, with Rhett providing insights into its flagship product, $avUSD. This innovative DeFi solution offers users a stable and yield-generating asset, simplifying the process of managing on-chain holdings. Rhett breaks down how $avUSD works, its market potential, and Avant’s vision for expanding into other high-yielding assets and governance tokens in the future.
