Gm! In today’s episode, we’re joined by Aya Kantorovich, Co-CEO of Upshift, to discuss the development of multi-chain vault infrastructure, its origins in onchain prime brokerage, and key lessons from past market failures. We cover security risks, institutional adoption, evolving regulation, cross-chain expansion, and broader trends including 24/7 markets, credit strategies, and tokenized assets.
Enjoy!
