@CampbellJAustin @kaledora @gdog97_ @fejau_inc TradFi runs on Rube Goldberg machines
➤ Trading a stock often involves ~9 intermediaries
➤ Market tech is band-aids stacked since the 1930s
➤ Blockchain rewrites the system with instant settlement
Finance is overdue for a structural reset
@CampbellJAustin @kaledora @gdog97_ @fejau_inc Why tokenizing oil (among other things) is hard
➤ Commodities aren’t 24/7 markets
➤ Futures contracts must roll over
➤ Perp DEX infra can’t just “plug and play” non-crypto assets
Real-world assets require bespoke solutions
@CampbellJAustin @kaledora @gdog97_ @fejau_inc Real yield beats fake Luna yield
➤ Luna offered 20% yield with no basis
➤ Derivatives basis trades produce real cash flow
➤ Crypto overlooks these $10B/year opportunities
Sustainable yield exists – if you build it right
@CampbellJAustin @kaledora @gdog97_ @fejau_inc Stablecoins = global dollar rails
➤ Most stablecoin demand is outside the US
➤ They combine T-bills with a payments wrapper
➤ Unlocks dollar access anywhere with internet + value to swap
Stablecoins are the USD’s best export product
@CampbellJAustin @kaledora @gdog97_ @fejau_inc Retail prefers perps over options
➤ Options require volatility pricing & Greek knowledge
➤ Perps offer simple directional bets with leverage
➤ CFDs dominate ex-US for this reason
Perps are crypto’s killer product for retail
@CampbellJAustin @kaledora @gdog97_ @fejau_inc Decentralization is a means, not an end
➤ Real assets (houses, gold) aren’t decentralized
➤ Blockchain removes black boxes but needs clear trade-offs
➤ Custody, transparency, and censorship resistance matter most
Focus on outcomes, not purity
@CampbellJAustin @kaledora @gdog97_ @fejau_inc The future is hybrid blockchains
➤ Fully public chains won’t host Grandma’s house deed
➤ Private bank chains are bridges to nowhere
➤ Solutions like Avalanche subnets and Stellar governance emerge
TradFi will find the middle ground
