In this episode, we’re joined by Luke and Sam to discuss the evolution of crypto trading infrastructure, including Solana’s push to improve perpetual futures execution and compete with Hyperliquid. We also cover tokenized equities, onchain yield markets, Pendle’s role in DeFi incentives, and the growing adoption of tokenized Strategy-related assets.
