I sat down with Yoni Assia, co-founder & CEO of eToro, for a wide-ranging conversation that spans Bitcoin’s earliest days, eToro’s journey through the 2008 crisis, and why Yoni thinks AI agents will soon trade more than humans.

We talk about Yoni’s early path into tech, his first startup (and the tough realities of unit economics), and how eToro evolved from a trading product into a mass-market platform powered by social investing and CopyTrader. Yoni also shares the inside story of his early crypto conviction - board fights, Mt. Gox, Colored Coins, and his reaction to the Ethereum whitepaper - plus thoughts on NFTs, UBI via GoodDollar (and who's still using it - someone! shocking!) , prediction markets, geopolitics, and whether quantum computing is a real Bitcoin risk (it is, and it isn't - Yoni spells it out real clearly, probably yet another Yoni prophesy).

Crypto lawyer-turned-operator Daniel Lo shares an “alternative legal career” journey, sharing how he wen from M&A in Calgary to Managing Director, GM and CLO at Acheron Trading in Singapore. He explains what it’s wearing both the legal and management hat, breaks down how a market maker supports token projects (from white-glove designated market making to execution/OTC), and what it takes to get regulated in 2026’s tougher environment.

Daniel also dives into why he co-founded LDU (Legal Disruption Unit) to help startups and crypto teams move beyond the traditional billable-hour model (much like we do at DLT Law) - especially around licensing, compliance, and regulator engagement.

Finally, he shares practical AI workflows for legal/compliance teams (including how to turn regulator guidance into a checklist-based gap analysis), and gives an Asia-focused regulatory outlook on Singapore vs Hong Kong, plus what to watch in South Korea as institutional participation opens up.

Prediction markets are booming - but Philipp Tsagolov, CEO & co-founder of Trendle, believes the next frontier is attention. In this episode, we talk about “AttentionFi”: markets that let you trade whether a person or topic will gain or lose mindshare online, using an attention index built from signals across X/Twitter, YouTube, and Reddit.

We also get into why meme coins were an early, chaotic form of attention trading, why perps-style mechanics fit attention better than binary markets, and what Trendle is building next as it moves from closed beta toward a broader launch.
