Gm! In this episode we’re joined by Ben Nadareski, Co-Founder and CEO of Solstice, to discuss his background in traditional finance and crypto, the development of Solstice’s tokenized yield infrastructure on Solana, and the roles of its USX, eUSX, and SLX assets. We also cover institutional and retail adoption, delta-neutral and private credit strategies, planned AI-focused products, token utility, regulatory considerations, and the broader goal of making yield-generating financial products accessible onchain.
Enjoy!
