Episode notes
DeFi Will Evolve Not Disappear
- DeFi is not monolithic; some primitives (e.g., AMMs) are likely temporary while permissionless financial rails will persist and evolve.
- Dave argued AMMs were regulatory-arbitrage solutions and predicts decentralized order-book models will win for trading.
Treat DTCC Tokenization As A Baby Step
- Expect incremental tokenization steps from incumbents rather than full native tokenized securities overnight.
- Dave described the DTCC move as a useful "baby step" that preserves existing utilities while nudging markets toward tokenized securities.
Tokenization Can Keep Netting While Enabling Fast Settlement
- Tokenized equities need not force atomic settlement; on-demand settlement with periodic netting preserves benefits and eases migration.
- Dave explained sessions (e.g., eight-hour netting windows) could settle on-chain in seconds while retaining practical netting.
