HyperEVM, Solana Turf Wars, Treasury Trade Mania, and Top-Blasting Ahead

What's next for crypto in 2025 according to this crypto investor 👀

In October 2022, crypto investor and now CoFounder of the crypto creative marketing agency SCRIB3, Ishan Bhaidani, posted on Twitter why he was so skeptical of FTX’s solvency and why he had opened an FTT short. It turned out his analysis was right and would make for one hell of a trade!

Fast forward to today, he’s continued investing as an angel while building one of the most reputable crypto marketing agencies. Through his business, he works with some of the top crypto/DeFi founders and teams in the space, offering rare insights into the rapidly evolving landscape.

Knowing Ishan since 2022, we’ve always wanted to invite him onto The Edge Podcast to share some of his investment theses on a wide variety of topics including HyperEVM, Solana’s DeFi turf wars between Pump, Raydium, and Jupiter, crypto M&A opportunities, and why he’s both bullish and cautious about the newest crypto treasury company mania.

In this week’s episode of The Edge Podcast, we sit down with Ishan to break down more on these developments, and what it might hint in terms of where we are in this cycle and when we might expect a market top.
