Episode notes

Cronos recovered approximately $111.2 million after the Tectonic exploit by rewinding 10,961 blocks and reversing nearly 2 hours of blockchain history. The money was mostly restored, but the intervention reopens the argument over what blockchain finality means.

Also covered: Circle agreeing to acquire Tazapay for approximately $400 million, Visa introducing onchain credit for stablecoin-linked card programmes, oil approaching $100 as the yen adds carry-trade pressure, 2 competing South Korean digital-asset proposals, and Nansen opening a live interface for Outcome.xyz prediction markets.

Listener question: Would you prefer a chain that preserves every confirmed transaction after a $120 million exploit, or one that can coordinate a rollback and recover 92% of the funds?

Availability and eligibility vary by region. The 20 XRP is supplied by Crypto News Today, not Kraken.
