Institutional Bitcoin treasuries are coming but they won’t touch DeFi unless the liquidity, custody, and risk models meet their standards. Threshold (TBTC) is building that bridge. In this interview, we break down how TBTC is competing with WBTC, why full decentralization alone isn’t enough, and why Threshold is now designing hybrid custody solutions to connect DeFi with the emerging wave of Bitcoin treasury companies (DATs). We also discuss adoption signals on Aave, real BTC collateral usage, governance structure, and the roadmap toward sustainably scaling Bitcoin finance beyond token incentives.

In this episode of The Defiant podcast, Camila Russo sits down in Buenos Aires (Devconnect) with Marissa Posner (Product, Ethereum Foundation) and Yoav Weiss (security researcher, Ethereum Foundation) to unpack The Trustless Manifesto and the Ethereum Interop Layer (EIL), why “trust assumptions” are quietly creeping into Ethereum’s stack, and what it will take to preserve Ethereum’s core values while making UX actually usable.We dig into the hidden places users are forced to trust intermediaries, from cross-chain interoperability and solvers to something most people never question: RPCs. Then we get practical: the guests walk through the EIL, a new approach to cross-chain UX that aims to deliver one-signature interop without introducing new trust assumptions, plus why the wallet becomes the center of the user’s security model. Finally, we zoom out: how should wallets warn users, what does “walkaway test” really mean, and why institutions may end up being one of the strongest forces pushing crypto toward less counterparty risk.

The same architectural openness that turned a forged cross-chain message at Kelp DAO's bridge into hundreds of millions of bad debt at Aave has in 48 hours, produced its own antidote: A coalition of DeFi protocols has launched an emergency exit route.
