Summary

Joe Lubin returns to Bankless to break down his latest bold move—launching SBET, a publicly traded vehicle designed to accumulate and deploy Ether as a strategic treasury asset. We unpack whether Lubin is stepping into the Michael Saylor role for Ethereum, how SBET might outperform Bitcoin-backed models, and why ETH is poised for a monetary renaissance. From regulatory wins to Ethereum’s evolving narrative on Wall Street, this episode explores how ETH can become a multi-trillion-dollar asset and a dominant store of value in the next economic supercycle. ------ 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🪙FRAX | SELF SUFFICIENT DeFi https://bankless.cc/Frax 🦄UNISWAP | SWAP ON UNICHAIN https://bankless.cc/unichain 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle 🌐SELF | PROVE YOUR SELF https://bankless.cc/Self 🟠BINANCE | THE WORLDS #1 CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://bankless.cc/binance ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 0:38 Getting Sued by The SEC 7:55 $SBET 16:32 The Michael Saylor of ETH 23:25 $SBET (ETH) vs $MSTR (BTC) 27:16 Valuing ETH 28:30 Wall Street Narratives 30:52 ETH’s Performance 36:53 ETH as Collateral 40:07 Onboarding Others 46:52 ETH as SoV 49:18 What ETH Needs 50:52 Joining Forces 53:08 ETH’s Sentiment Shift 56:53 Genius Act 58:44 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES Joe Lubin https://x.com/ethereumJoseph SharpLink Gaming ($SBET) https://www.sharplink.com/ Consensys https://consensys.io/ ------ Not financial or tax advice.
