Over a trillion dollars worth of perps are traded every month, yet 99% people have never heard of them. This @LawofCodeFM episode is a multi-hour deep dive on perps, starting from the history of grain futures in Chicago to Friday's historic @CFTC announcements. It took me months to put this together. My goal: the internet's most comprehensive explainer on perps. You'll hear from the world's leading experts on the legal layer of perps; @jchervinsky and @BradBourque of @HyperliquidPC, @BrettHarrison of @Architect_Fi, @kkirkbos, @_Ryne_Miller, @mdf2000 and David Shafer of @coinbase. By the end of this episode, I promise you'll be in the top percentile for understanding perps, regardless of where you're starting from. (You just might need to listen twice. There's a lot here.)

Major areas where the financial system still needs an update: 1. Tokenization of real-world assets - Real estate, stocks, bonds, funds, etc. onchain for instant settlement, fractional ownership & massive distribution. 2. 24/7 Global trading - Pooled global liquidity, every asset, every person, with great leverage and capital efficiency. 3. Next-gen payments - Near-instant, low-cost global transfers using stablecoins, including for Agentic payments. 4. AI-powered risk, credit, compliance, and advice - Better decisions, less fraud, and broader access to capital. Everyone gets access to a great financial advisor. 5. Innovation friendly regulation - Move from one-size-fits-all to risk-based rules that encourage innovation and competition instead of stifling it. 6. Expanded access - Open protocols that reduce middlemen and self-custodial wallets to expand access to everyone with a smartphone. 7. Capital formation - Low cost and turnkey for anyone to raise money for a good idea, increasing the number of startups. 8. Sound money - A refuge from inflation, when discipline is lost in fiat money. Jobs not done until we get these working for all. Will require lots of tech innovation and policy work to get there.
