Скачать или смотреть Eric Chen on DeFi’s Future, Nvidia’s AI Expansion & the BNPL Blowup

Welcome to Daily Rip Live with Katie Perry and Shay Boloor—featuring special guest Eric Chen, CEO of Injective Labs. From decentralized finance and AI-driven trading bots to Nvidia’s global strategy, Apple’s China headache, and the coming AI labor tsunami, this episode is a full-spectrum snapshot of where markets and tech are headed. Here’s what we covered:

🌐 Eric Chen on Building the “WordPress for Finance”
Eric shares how Injective Labs is creating modular infrastructure for on-chain financial apps—comparing Injective to WordPress or Shopify, but for DeFi. With partners ranging from individual developers to financial institutions, Injective is powering the next wave of decentralized markets.

💱 Helix: The DEX That’s Taking on Coinbase
Injective’s flagship product, Helix, aims to rival centralized exchanges like Coinbase—offering spot and leverage trading for crypto, FX, ETFs, and more, with lightning-fast speeds and radically lower costs.

🧠 DeFi, Regulation & Institutional Adoption
Eric outlines why this is the most exciting time ever for DeFi. New U.S. regulatory clarity is unlocking institutional interest, and Injective is already working with large players on pilot programs for fully on-chain financial rails.

🤖 Trading Bots & the AI-Enhanced Investor
Eric previews Helix’s AI-powered trading bots, including grid strategies and volume optimization. Users configure their strategy once, then let the bot work like a “Wall Street-level cheat code”—no charts required.

📉 Moody’s Downgrade, Nvidia’s Global Deals & Apple’s China Dilemma
Katie and Shay unpack the U.S. credit downgrade, the “compute is the new oil” thesis, and why Nvidia’s Middle East and Taiwan plays are reshaping the chip war. Meanwhile, Apple faces scrutiny for its alleged AI partnership with Alibaba—sparking a debate over national security and corporate dependency.

📊 The BNPL Reckoning & Consumer Debt Time Bomb
The UK is cracking down on buy-now-pay-later schemes. Shay calls BNPL “the dumbest thing in the world,” warning it fuels silent overleveraging in a fragile labor market increasingly at risk from AI and robotics.

🤖 AI Is Destroying Jobs—And Unlocking New Wealth Paths
From coding assistants to legal automation, Shay and Katie discuss how AI is closing the gap between idea and execution. But it’s also replacing entire job categories—white-collar and blue-collar alike.

🚨 Don’t Be a One-Trick Pony—AI Is the Great Re-Leveler
Shay urges everyone to start building side projects using AI, predicting an explosion of SMBs in this new “agentic AI” economy. The ability to learn tools and adapt will define the next generation of winners.
