Yield’s TAM is about to explode. 📈
What excites me isn’t just the growth of DeFi yield itself, but how much bigger the market becomes when earning yield gets simple, accessible, and effortless.
Stablecoins, staking, lending, RWAs, automated strategies — more capital is moving on-chain, and more of that capital will be looking for productive opportunities.
If Yield can become the layer that connects users to those opportunities without all the complexity, the upside could be massive. ⚡️
The market is expanding fast.
And Yield is positioned right where that growth is happening. 🚀
E183: @jupiterexchange COO - Why Solana Is The Everything Chain and Why Get Rich Slow Is The Real Alpha
@kashdhanda is the COO of Jupiter, the biggest trading and DeFi platform on @Solana. He got his start on the founding team at Superteam, then spent the last year and a half building Jupiter into what he calls the on-chain finance super app. We get into why he keeps half his own portfolio in yield-bearing stablecoins, why meme coins are just video games with no staying power, and why he thinks the fat protocol thesis got it backwards.

$CRED is one of those projects I’m watching quietly.
The part that stands out to me is the focus on building actual financial rails instead of chasing attention. More payment options, real transaction volume, and a treasury that benefits from the activity all make the story more interesting.
There’s still plenty to prove, but I’d rather watch steady progress than short-term hype.
Curious to see where $CRED goes next.
Great updates from @crediblefin. New financial statements, with profits being returned to the Futarchy governed treasury with flows tracked on @01Resolved
In July, the team reported $162M in processed volume, launched a business card spend pilot, shipped an analytics dashboard, and completed the solana:CREDBHvVqREBCAxMihzr8D1nepHMr2gmQoZWpmgGmeta raise on @MetaDAOProject
In August, USD–CNY collections and payouts went live, IDR payouts launched across bank transfer, GoPay and OVO, and cash access was announced through MoneyGram terminals, including MGUSD support
