Citadel has sparked uproar with a letter calling on the SEC to regulate DeFi protocols as exchanges. But the company’s requests may not be totally unreasonable.

In this episode of DEX in the City, hosts Jessi Brooks, Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, and Vy Le dig into Citadel’s controversial letter and how it is a reminder that “crypto is a bubble.”

They also discuss how the CFTC and SEC are in a “race to the top,” plus Jessi explains how AI agents can exploit smart contracts they haven’t been trained on for just $1 apiece.

Plus, Vy calls on the crypto community to support Samourai developers.
