Why DATs Have Better Leverage Than Crypto Traders


Listen Later

In this episode of alpha un#, host Sri Misra sits down with Joseph Onorati, CEO, @DFDV to break down the real mechanics behind institutional crypto risk management  far beyond Twitter takes and retail narratives.

Joseph explains:

  • Why every serious crypto business must assume an 80% drawdown

  • How DFDV models extreme tail-risk (“What if Solana drops another 50%?”)

  • Why DATs get cheaper, safer leverage than funds or prop shops

  • How DFDV raised $125M in unsecured convertible debt at 5.5% and why this type of leverage is a structural advantage

  • How multi-cycle experience shapes decision-making in volatile markets

  • Why long-duration planning, not hype cycles, determines who survives.
