Core Leads Bitcoin Track at Permissionless IV Amid Growing Institutional Interest
SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Core Foundation, the entity powering Core, the leading Bitcoin scaling protocol, is set to present the most exciting Bitcoin track at Permissionless IV, one of the industry's largest builder and developer gatherings, taking place June 24–26. As institutional and developer interest in Bitcoin-based applications grows, Core is anchoring key conversations on Bitcoin's expanding financial use cases, through curated panels, fireside chats, and community showcases.
Bitcoin Track Curated by Core
On June 24 at Permissionless IV, there will be a dedicated Bitcoin Track presented by Core, spotlighting key voices driving the next chapter of Bitcoin, from DeFi and credit markets to scaling debates and infrastructure design.
The afternoon kicks off with 'Bitcoin DeFi: Making BTC a Productive Asset' (1:30–2:10pm), a deep dive into structured yield and Bitcoin-native credit markets. Speakers include Darren Mims (Blockworks Research), Sid Powell (Maple), Brendon Sedo (Core), Jacob Phillips (Lombard), and MacLane Wilkison (Threshold Network), who explore how institutional appetite for BTC as collateral is evolving.
Next up, from 2:10–2:30pm, 'How Should Bitcoin Scale?' pits different approaches against each other in a lively debate featuring Simanta Gautam (Alpen Labs), Willem Schroe (Botanix), and Macauley Peterson (Blockworks).
At 2:30pm, Pete Rizzo (Blockworks) moderates 'Where to Build in the Bitcoin Network,' a conversation with Rich Rines (Core), Jeff Garzik (Hemi), and Muneeb Ali (Stacks) on how to approach L2s, smart contract layers, and modular execution on Bitcoin.
From 3:10–3:30pm, the spotlight shifts to energy and infrastructure in 'Bitcoin & The Energy to Compute Value Chain' with Meltem Demirors (Crucible) and Michael Bucella (Neoclassic Capital).
The day wraps up with a technical session at 3:30pm: 'The Core Dev's Guide to Bitcoin Network Upgrades,' led by Hunter Beast (Anduro), Jeremy Rubin (Judica), and William Foxley (Blockspace Media), offering a look at the mechanics and trade-offs behind proposed improvements to the Bitcoin base layer.
On June 25 from 11:50am–12:10pm, Rich Rines, Initial contributor at Core, will deliver a main stage keynote titled 'The PoS Layer for Bitcoin'. He will outline how Core's infrastructure enables native Bitcoin staking while preserving the security guarantees of Bitcoin's base layer.
The Bitcoin Yield House: A Dedicated Bitcoin Lounge
In addition to the mainstage programming, Core will host its own Bitcoin Yield House to foster more intimate dialogue and networking across the Bitcoin ecosystem:
June 25
2:00pm: Fireside: lstBTC & Institutional Bitcoin Adoption
3:00pm: Fireside: Why the Next Capital Supercycle Starts with Bitcoin?
June 26
2:00pm: Panel: Activating Retail Through BTCfi Ecosystem
3:00pm: Fireside: The Rise of BTCfi as a Bitcoin Everything Chain.
Each day's sessions are preceded by dedicated mingle hours to foster informal conversation and ecosystem connections.
Permissionless is the right forum to highlight how builders and institutions are activating Bitcoin in new ways, from dual staking to Bitcoin yield strategies.
With discussions touching on Bitcoin's evolving role, the 2025 edition of Permissionless underscores a renewed industry focus on Bitcoin-native innovation, and Core's central role in that discussion.

Matt Haycox Hits 200K Monthly Downloads with UK's Most Unfiltered Business Podcasts
By GlobeNewswire Published on June 17, 2025, 23:52 IST LONDON, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — UK-based entrepreneur and podcaster Matt Haycox has reached a combined total of over 200,000 monthly downloads across his two business-focused podcasts, Stripping Off with Matt Haycox and No Bollocks with Matt Haycox . The milestone reflects a growing audience appetite for unfiltered, honest conversations about entrepreneurship, failure, and growth. Haycox, a self-made entrepreneur who experienced both financial success and bankruptcy before rebuilding his career, launched the two shows to offer an alternative to the polished and heavily scripted business content often found in mainstream media. Both podcasts feature in-depth interviews with founders, investors, celebrities, Olympians, and creatives, many of whom share personal stories not typically discussed in public forums. Stripping Off focuses on the emotional and personal journeys behind entrepreneurial success, while No Bollocks delivers strategic business insights without jargon or embellishment. Guests have included a range of high-profile individuals who open up about the realities behind their careers, highlighting both achievements and setbacks. Speaking about the milestone, Haycox said: 'There's a lot of noise in the podcasting space, but not a lot of truth. Listeners are tired of hearing the same success stories told the same way. We go deeper—and sometimes that means getting uncomfortable. But that's where the real value is.' The podcasts have built a loyal audience across the UK and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, resonating particularly with startup founders, business professionals, and aspiring entrepreneurs between the ages of 25 and 50. Across platforms, Haycox now reaches an estimated 500,000+ people, with growing traction on YouTube and social media channels. Haycox's shows continue to stand out in a crowded podcasting landscape by prioritising transparency over performance and by choosing guests based on their willingness to share experiences authentically—regardless of outcome. The podcasts are available on all major platforms, with full archives and additional resources available at .
