Bankless Nation, welcome to the weekly roll-up.

Each week I'm bringing on a different co-host to help me go through the news.

And this week, I have the pleasure of being joined by Ethereum Community Chief Anthony Sazano.

Anthony, good to see you, my man. How are you?

Hey, man, I'm good. Good to be back after a little while here on the roll-up.

Yeah, you have been our regular substitute teacher whenever, like, Ryan or I would need to take just a week off, and we just always tap in Anthony Sizzano.

Ryan's been taking an extended sabbatical just to spend some very much quality time with

his kids. So I've been doing my best to go around just like,

it's so easy to come back to Anthony Sazano, so I had to get some differing, diverging

voices out there. But it's really good to just like tap you in formally. It's like it was inevitable

that I would bring you on and it's good to have you back here, my man. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah, and I think it's a good thing to get brought a kind of, I guess, voices on the show, definitely. Like, everyone knows my brand, knows what I'm

going to talk about, like, knows what kind of tone I'm going to take. So, yeah, it's been great

to see you kind of branch out there and get other people on the show. So we've got a lot of news to talk about this week. Athena and Securitize are launching their own chain called

Converge, which I think that's an ironic name, and I'll give that my take about that. Robin Hood

partners with Kalishi, where the prediction market competitor to polymarket. Then two ETH people

are going to talk about the Salana governance debate. The two ETH people are me and Ryan. And then of course we got some, excuse me, me and Anthony. And then Ethereum has some updates as well that we're going to talk

about and crack and makes it $1.5 billion acquisition just announced about an hour before recording.

So that's going to be the news that we talked about. But I just kind of want to zoom out and do a

quick vibe check, Anthony. Just how are you feeling about where we are? It is March 20th,

2025. We got Donald Trump making crypto strategic reserves. We have a actually competent SEC.

Crypto sentiment is completely dog shit. And Ethereum is going through a transitionary period,

taking longer to go through that transitionary
