Polymarket's Fees Era Begins, Aave/Tether Integrate the Creator Economy

In this episode of GLXY Grid, the hosts break down a volatile week in macro markets and unpack Polymarket’s highly anticipated decision to finally turn on its fee switch. The crew dives deep into Balancer Labs' graceful exit and the sunsetting of its VE tokenomics, signaling a potential shift for OG DeFi structures. Finally, they explore the ultimate "DeFi mullet" as Web2 creator platform Whop integrates with Aave and Tether to offer its 18 million users seamless on-chain yield, and share what they are watching in the week ahead, from the Aave V4 launch to Morgan Stanley’s aggressive new spot Bitcoin ETF filing.
