Joining us to unpack the drama are Darren from IPOR Labs, a leader in DeFi risk management, and Alex McFarlane from Keyring Network, an expert in decentralized infrastructure. Together, we’ll break down: The mechanics behind the USD0++ redemption shift The fallout for Morpho, Pendle, and other protocols MEV Capital’s controversial role and high-stakes profits What this means for DeFi’s future and trust in stablecoins If you’re fascinated by the intersections of finance, technology, and high-stakes decision-making, you won’t want to miss this episode.
