Talking Tokens: Crypto, Onchain Finance, Investing · Stablecoins, RWAs & DeFi: What Institutions Actually Want · 6 Aug 2026 podcast

So I think where we were at in this progression here is institutional or traditional finance.

is looking to tokenize their products and make them available in this like new digitally native ecosystem.

Great, it's amazing.

What's next is like, okay, now what?

What can we actually do with it?

And one of the critical actions is this ability to transfer these assets more seamlessly, more easily.

But we have a lot of work to do to get things right around like the venues for secondary trading.

the pricing mechanisms for these assets.

I mean, it could just be that many of these assets that trade on secondaries, it's bid ask and it's just complete market demand.

But the better and more reliable NAV price you have and a more current NAV price you have for that asset, the more efficient those secondary markets can be and the more confidence buyers and sellers will have that what they're getting is close to value.

maybe something else I think one I think an inflection point that will change things significantly and we're starting to see but it hasn't like the burst has the dam has not yet burst is

how these different assets can now be changed from being just like idle capital to being deployed in a way that like compounds their value.

And you see that like right now, and I guess I would call it like pure DeFi where there's...

different types of tokens or assets like Maple, for example, and like lending protocols like Aave and Morpho and where there's, you know, a lot less gating.

And so you could kind of see what like pure DeFi could look like.

And then you have the

traditional financial players that aren't really able to participate in those types of venues right now, but are starting to in small ways, in very specific small ways.

And that's really exciting to see.

So what the unlock will be and the inflection point is going to be when there's volume and a way to have these assets really operate in DeFi and when you can turn that institutional capital into productive on-chain capital.

And that's like what our focus is right now.
