It's the biggest narrative in crypto right now and everybody is asking "What are RWA's"? In today's episode we explore what it takes to integrate Real-World Assets (RWAs) into the DeFi ecosystem. From the revolutionary approach of FRAX and their newly launched custodian FinresPBC to the parallels between traditional investments like mutual funds, this episode offers a high-level overview of the present and future of asset tokenization. The evolving role of intermediaries on the blockchain presents challenges but also opportunities for an improved experience. With RWA's, we're moving further along the journey from TradFi to DeFi. This podcast features research by Nic Carter, Bitcoin researcher. Here's the link to his presentation from Singapore Token 2049: https://niccarter.info/wp-content/uploads/token2049_niccarter_090923.pdf
On this episode: - Isn’t everything a RWA? - What’s the main motivation of tokenization? - What’s the most durable RWA use case? - Why stablecoins are better for payments than Bitcoin - What does tokenization mean for the US dollar and developing countries? - What’s the next evolution of RWA’s after stablecoins? - What about yield bearing stablecoins? - The challenge of US jurisdiction over foreign stablecoin issuers - Legislators are ignoring these unique threats to the US dollar - FTX and others have made this more challenging for legitimate businesses - Frax’s Public Benefit Corporation - The truth about “decentralized” T-Bills - How does FinresPBC intend to earn yield? - How many intermediaries are involved here? - What’s the end result? - What does the founder of Frax think of rebasing mechanisms? - Why you should watch Frax closely, despite the challenges they’ll face - A framework for RWA taxonomy - Real estate intermediaries and the blockchain - Do intermediaries all just disappear once we start using the blockchain? (Spoiler - they don’t) - How Frax depegged due to centralization risk, and what they’re doing about it - Imperfect collateral and liquidity leads to depegging events - Hint about a top secret project coming soon! --- TradFi to DeFi ⭐️Twitter: https://twitter.com/TradFitoDeFi ⚡Follow Tyler: https://twitter.com/TylerSherwin 🚜Follow John: https://twitter.com/Solesurvivor78 Join the conversation! 📚https://tradfitodefi.medium.com/ 💼https://www.linkedin.com/company/tradfi-to-defi/ 👾 Discord: https://discord.gg/uqjzvJEeYc What is TradFi to DeFi?

Daniel is a serial entrepreneur most recently known for his pioneering efforts with a company called Unbanked. Sadly, Unbanked has had to wind down operations due to the regulatory challenges that the US faces. Daniel joins Tyler and John to discuss the lessons learned along the way, and what we can do to change the narrative on crypto from a speculative asset class to a cohesive financial system solving real-world problems. Topics covered: - How can US citizens get safe and secure access to the digital asset ecosystem in this regulatory environment? - What are the real-world use cases that crypto enables beyond just "number go up"? - What's the optimistic future for digital assets? - What did Daniel learn from his early days in crypto (2017)? - Why should people care about crypto in the first place? - What to do about the ponzi schemes and scam artists in the crypto industry (spoiler: they need to be absolutely crushed) - The origin of banking and lending - Tether, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and much much more!

David Seroy is a Bitcoin researcher and Founder of Old North Capital Fund. He lays out the case for credit-based, bitcoin-backed dollars as a means to diminish our reliance on the fiat monetary system. At TradFi to DeFi we are focused on the transitory period between these arguably conflicting worlds: USD and Bitcoin. However, there’s a case to be made that bitcoin-backed stablecoins can lead to a brighter future for Bitcoin and our world. In today's episode, we discuss the symbiotic relationship between Dollars and Bitcoin (it's closer than you may think), what a hyperbitcoinized future might look like, and who are the leaders in the space building Bitcoin-backed stablecoins.

It's been a rough week in crypto markets! SBF has betrayed the trust of his customers and taken the entire industry with him. The ensuing contagion from the FTX collapse has left many wondering "how exactly did we get here?". In today's episode, we answer this question and more. Was this a result of the Terra Luna collapse earlier this year? What was the relationship between SBF, Alameda and FTX? And where do we go from here?
As some in the industry prepare for more negative news to come, we remain optimistic and offer our thoughts on where the industry can go from here.

In today's episode, we share progress updates on our DAO Punk grant, and brainstorm ideas for generating revenue.

Today’s video is a special feature from our co-founder Farmer John. When he’s not yield farming in crypto, he’s farming cattle in ‘the real world’. At TradFi to DeFi, we’re focused on the cutting edge but that doesn’t mean we don’t keep one foot tethered firmly in reality. And that’s why I’m so grateful to John and his efforts to keep us focused on the things that truly matter. Enjoy! — Tyler, TradFi to DeFi Co-Founder
