I sat down with Michael Sonnenshein, now COO of Securitize, to explore how institutions like BlackRock and Apollo are going all-in on tokenized assets. We talked about how this could reshape finance as we know it - from daily yield, to DeFi integration, to even tokenizing public equities. This episode of The Wolf Of All Streets dives deep into the future of institutional DeFi and the unstoppable momentum behind tokenization.
