Wyatt sits down with Bhavin, co-founder of Birch Hill to chat about the tokenized asset and DeFi market broadly. In this episode:
- Who is assessing whether cryptoassets are safe in DeFi today?
- Who is assessing risk and ensuring assets are solvent and not fraudulent?
- How have these standards been set and how are they evolving?
- What is a risk curator, how do risk curators make money, and what is their role?
- Is it the responsibility of protocols, curators, wallets, or someone else to protect users from buying bad assets?
- How do you expect non-DeFi-native market participants will start to enter this market?
- Will users eventually buy, hold, and sell assets on protocol interfaces, brokerages / exchanges, or risk curator interfaces?
- Does the Fat Protocol Thesis hold true? Where does value accrue today?
