Bankless

Ryan Sean Adams and David Hoffman have turned Bankless into the go-to daily briefing for anyone serious about crypto and DeFi. With over 1,200 episodes and counting, these two bring a mix of sharp market analysis, deep technical breakdowns, and interviews with some of the biggest names in the Ethereum ecosystem. Their ROLLUP episodes are especially useful -- quick weekly recaps that distill what actually matters from a week's worth of crypto noise. The show leans heavily toward Ethereum and DeFi, which is both a strength and a fair criticism. If you're looking for Bitcoin maximalism, this isn't it. But for understanding tokenized assets, Layer 2 scaling, prediction markets, and how AI intersects with blockchain, they're genuinely hard to beat. Ryan brings the macro investment lens while David gets deep into protocol-level thinking, and the chemistry between them keeps things moving. Episodes range from 30-minute news hits to hour-plus deep conversations with founders and researchers. They've had everyone from Vitalik Buterin to top DeFi builders. The production quality is solid, though the ad reads are frequent enough that you'll notice. A premium subscription gets you ad-free listening if that bothers you. Rated 4.7 stars across over 1,000 reviews, Bankless has earned its reputation as one of crypto's most influential shows. It rewards regular listening -- the kind of podcast where skipping a week means missing context for next week's episode.
