Can onchain credit fund Hollywood? Benjamin Sarquis Peillard, Founder and CEO of Cap, returns to Blockchain Interviews to explain how Cap is financing Wake, a comedy drama starring Cole Sprouse, Penelope Ann Miller, Riki Lindhome and Chris Parnell, by advancing cash against the film's tax credits. Cap has done more than $4 billion in cumulative volume, holds over $400 million in deposits, and is backed by Franklin Templeton and IMC Trading.
Benjamin breaks down why every Cap loan needs an underwriter who puts their own Bitcoin or gold on the line, why Cap won't tokenize the film itself, how cUSD plugs into Aave, Morpho, Lido and ether.fi, and why he thinks $50 to $100 million could fund every loan at the Cannes Film Festival. He also explains why Cap is permissioned, whether private credit is in a bubble, and why "if folks want to hide, they don't belong in our loan book."
