The Evolution of Crypto Capital Markets & Where DeFi is Today
๐Guest: Ivailo Jordanov, Partner at Paper Ventures @ivailoj@Papervc
๐คHost: Jeremy Wallis, Partner at Gate Ventures @fintechblocks
DeFi proved that markets can run without intermediaries. But execution, clearing, margin and collateral โ the parts of capital markets that actually move size โ are still mostly off-chain. So where does durable value really accrue as this stack migrates?
Ivailo joins us to map where crypto capital markets are today, what's genuinely moving on-chain, and what stays hybrid for longer.
Weโll discuss:
๐ท Where durable value accrues next โ execution, settlement/clearing, or collateral & margin infrastructure
๐ท Pure on-chain venues vs. hybrid models that keep traditional rails for larger tickets
๐ท What's still blocking institutional order flow and bigger ticket sizes from moving on-chain
๐ท Structural gaps in institutional stablecoin liquidity, FX conversion & atomic settlement
๐ท Programmable markets: tighter spreads and capital efficiency, or new fragmentation and basis risk?

Beyond the Dollar: Inside Plume's Institutional Open Finance Playbook
๐Guest: Chris Yin, Co-founder & CEO of Plume @plumenetwork@chriseyin
๐คHost: Tiffany Chang, Gate Ventures @hella_tifficult
Almost everything onchain today is denominated in USD. But if RWAs are going to carry real institutional volume, the rails have to work for the assets institutions actually hold โ and for the currencies they actually hold them in.
Our guest Chris Yin, Co-founder & CEO of Plume, joins us to unpack how Plume went from an RWA chain to the platform institutions issue and distribute through โ and why the licenses, not the tech, decide who gets to build next.
We'll cover:
๐น What "Open Finance for institutional assets" really means โ and why Plume shifted from RWA chain to issuance & distribution platform
๐น Why an SEC transfer-agent registration and a DTCC working group seat are the licenses that decide who builds next-gen securities infrastructure
๐น How the Shinhan MOU opens RWA's non-dollar chapter โ and what it takes to bring Korean Won assets onchain
๐น Why the hard part is matching supply with distribution โ connecting institutional credit to crypto-native users
๐น How Plume Vaults turns strategies once reserved for large allocators into products anyone can hold, borrow against, and trade

Will HOT mining be valuable in the future? ๐ค
Is it another hidden gem ๐ or just hype?
Early users might win bigโฆ or not. What do you think? ๐
#HOT#Crypto#Mining#Airdrop#Web3

From hype โ straight collapse in hour ๐
This is why chasing pumps is dangerous โ
Smart money already exited at the top.
Now the real question ๐
Dead cat bounce or more downside?
Stay careful. Market shows no mercy.

According to Gate Ventures Research, stablecoins have firmly established themselves as a core settlement layer of global finance in 2026
Stablecoins did $33 trillion in volume last year, accounting for approximately 30% of overall on-chain transaction volume. Thatโs 72% growth year-over-year.
However, a critical institutional challenge persists: over 80% of USD stablecoin liquidity still sits on Ethereum and Tron. Bitcoin, the most secure settlement network ever built, barely participates.
