Bhavin Vaid (Birch Hill) on Better Markets for Tokenized Assets (EP.700)

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?
