In today's episode, we discuss why crypto's top apps will win the wallet wars. We start by exploring tech's move to profitability, why we're bullish on Coinbase and the challenges of decentralized sequencers. We then discuss how suave and account abstraction are changing the landscape of MEV and user interactions. The wallet wars are coming; who will win? We finish with a discussion on ETH's LSD market, L1 vs L2 volume, the death of NFTs and more!
