BAYC Momentum Returns, Aave Feels DeFi Fallout

BAYC felt like the clearest sign of life on the show, as Cap argued the club has real momentum again behind Figge’s leadership, stronger communication and a renewed focus on community activations. That optimism was set against a much darker read on DeFi after the Kelp DAO exploit left Aave exposed and sent another wave of fear through the market. The conversation widened into wallet security, AI’s role in both attacks and defense, and why users may get more selective about which protocols they trust. By the end, the show framed BAYC’s rebound and DeFi’s instability as two opposite signals shaping where attention and conviction may go next.Subscribe:Coffee with Captain Newsletter: https://coffeewithcaptain.beehiiv.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@coffeewithcaptainshowFollow on X:Chris Jourdan: https://x.com/ChrisJourdanCoffee with Captain: https://x.com/coffeewithcap_This podcast is for entertainment purposes only.
