Hodl Up is a research-driven crypto and Web3 podcast. Through long-form interviews, original crypto research, and honest crypto news, we turn blockchain, DeFi, and digital-asset stories into clarity. Built by people who live in crypto every day, we ask the questions insiders actually want answered and help founders, investors, and communities understand where the market is heading.
Robin Hanson on futarchy, decision markets, why insider trading complaints are opportunistic, and why prediction markets should be judged against journalism.
Stratium founder Wasim Fukase on building Hyperliquid prediction markets, why he calls them binary options, and why liquidity is still the binding problem.
Economist Rajiv Sethi separates three kinds of prediction market manipulation and explains why a market nobody can rig is a market nobody believes in.
Dr. Corey Petty on why crypto's adoption looks like traditional finance on the internet, why privacy has to sit beneath the ledger rather than on it, and who controls the AI pipeline. Plus an undocumented way to mine your first transaction and bootstrap an anonymity set.
Roughly 3% of traders drive price discovery and the top 1% take 76.5% of profits. What the concentration evidence shows, and how Hanson and Sethi answer it.
A Federal Reserve working paper found Kalshi's macro markets well calibrated, with a perfect record before FOMC decisions. Why the result is narrower than it sounds.
HIP-4 puts a slashable HYPE stake behind every resolution, unlike UMA's $750 bond. What it fixes, what the volume shows, and what it has not yet been tested on.
Markets repriced within half an hour of the June 2024 debate while forecasting models were suspended. Where markets beat polls, and where the comparison breaks.
