$60B digital capital markets, crypto law and regulation, and Ethereum Layer 2 scaling, with Pat Berarducci

In this conversation, we talk with Patrick Berarducci of ConsenSys,
about the valuations and multiples of capital markets protocols in
Decentralized Finance on Ethereum, now making up over $60B in token
value. Additionally, we explore the nuances of scaling Ethereum and
its solutions, such as Metamask and the emerging Layer 2 protocols.
We also discuss law and regulation, including a fascinating story
about Bernie Madoff from when Pat was a practicing attorney. This
leads into a conversation about the embedded compliance nature of
blockchain and crypto technology, the early days of ConsenSys, the
path of crypto brokerages like Coinbase, and Metamask exhibiting
emerging qualities of a neobank.Disclaimer here — this newsletter
