Personal news: I’m joining @GSR_io as Head of Content and Special Projects.
I’ve covered crypto since 2017, always drawn to market structure and how institutions shape this space. What started with bitcoin futures has evolved into a truly institutional market with real liquidity, access, and regulatory clarity.
Now I get to help tell that story from the inside.

The best interviews happen when the host knows the space cold. @FintechFrank pushed on the questions that actually matter. Liquidity, capital and why on-chain finance hasn't grown up yet.
Enjoyed this one. Full conversation:

1) Almost a year ago I stepped back from crypto to focus on multiple personal projects. I traveled, I read, I reflected and I built. Today I am announcing the main one: @TVLCap, which I am proud to have co-founded, and a $5M raise to bring structured products onchain.
