If you've been feeling frustrated by the current state of crypto markets, this new episode of The Edge Podcast is the antidote!

Johann Eid is the Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs, one of the people with the clearest front row seat to how institutional interest in crypto has evolved over the last decade.

During our interview, his message was simple: we're no longer in the dreaming phase of crypto. Stablecoins have grown to $0.3 trillion, and in doing so, changed the lives of billions from countries such as Lebanon suffering from hyperinflation and capital controls, to countless other nations in South America, Asia, and Africa. Now, institutions from around the world are lining up to tokenize fiat, stocks, treasuries, ETFs, real estate, commodities, and other major investment offerings.

Months before the biggest IPO of the year, SpaceX synthetic perpetual futures were trading 24/7 onchain with leverage, on Hyperliquid and Lighter. All globally available and permissionless to access.

The fairy tales have become a reality faster than anyone expected.

This is a conversation for the long-term believers like us. The ones who still zoom out, stay patient, and understand that the next decade promises so much more growth ahead for DeFi.

If you're in AI, there’s still time to pivot back to crypto. It’s ok, we forgive you.
