Ryan Adams

couple years of the internet.

So it's a quest line worth paying attention to.

And also, did Ethereum just drop finality from 13 minutes to 13 seconds without a hard fork?

Ryan's going to tell me all about that.

But first, before we get to all that news, we're going to talk to some of these fantastic sponsors that make this show possible.

Another week, another all-time high in PolyMarket prediction market volumes.

Okay, so Ryan, at the peak, the spike of the 2024 election, there was a weekly volume of just over a billion dollars traded on PolyMarket.

And that was, when is that?

November 2024.

So now we are into March of 2026.

We are three weeks in a row of polymarket volumes being over $2 billion a weekly volume for three weeks in a row.

And so we are starting to look back on what looks like a very high spike of polymarket trading volumes.

And we are doing double that on a consistent basis week after week after week.

I think it's pretty cool.

Polymarket in real life, yeah.

It's a sports bar, but instead of sports, it's polymarkets.

This Israeli military correspondent for the Times of Israel, he was just reporting about the conflict.

He wrote an article about this Iranian missile strike and that impacted this somewhat substantial poly market that has like $14 million on it, at least in trading volume, about whether Iran will strike Israel, will successfully land a missile in Israel.

And so because he reported this,

A market cleared one way or the other.
