Cap's Founder on TradFi, DeFi, and Building a Stablecoin That Won't Default

Benjamin Sarquis Peillard, founder of Cap, explains the evolution of stablecoin models—Types 1 and 2—and how Cap is developing a yield-bearing Type 3 stablecoin with verifiable guarantees on Symbiotic. He explores the shortcomings of traditional yield-generating stablecoins, the risks of unchecked token incentives, and how Cap leverages Symbiotic's redistribution mechanism to create a fundamentally safer design. This episode examines Cap's role in connecting traditional finance and DeFi, reveals why institutional players often understand DeFi better than most VCs, and discusses the future landscape of risk and yield in a multi-chain, multi-stablecoin ecosystem.
