Episode notes
Why 2025 Disappointed
- 2025 underperformed because of buy-the-news dynamics, 10/10 liquidations, and trapped capital from in-kind DAT contributions.
- Once trapped capital is absorbed, John Woo expects the asset class to perform much better in 2026.
Institutional Adoption Is Mostly Private
- Institutional adoption is booming but often on private, permissioned chains rather than fully permissionless networks.
- That creates a disconnect between real-world adoption and public token price appreciation.
Lock Rules Into Statute Now
- Push for statutory clarity rather than leaving rules to agency rulemaking that can flip with political changes.
- Get crypto law into statute now while there is political will to lock in consistent policy for innovators.
