In this episode, we dive deep into the evolving world of stablecoins through the lens of Stablecoins 2.0 — a research-driven framework that analyzes the economic risks, design structures, and governance models behind custodial and non-custodial stablecoins.
You’ll learn:
The fundamental differences between reserve-backed, algorithmic, and hybrid stablecoins
Why feedback loops and governance structures can make or break stability
Key risk categories like data oracles, miner extractable value (MEV), and systemic deleveraging
How DeFi primitives like MakerDAO mirror traditional finance through vaults, governance tokens, and risk tranching
The future of stablecoin design through economic modeling and incentive alignment
If you're into the real mechanics of stablecoins and how trust is engineered into decentralized money, this episode is your crash course in the economics of Web3 finance.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
