How a Molecular Biologist Reengineered the Blockchain
From pursuing a PhD in molecular biology to creating a DeFi token before "DeFi" was a term and founding Vesper, Jordan Kruger, CEO and co-founder of Vesper, shares her exciting career. Similar to how the human genome is mapped in a searchable directory, Kruger’s initial reaction to the Satoshi papers was to design a similar system for searchability through the blockchain. Applying her expertise, Kruger analyzed the blockchain from a unique perspective and was able to recognize and utilize patterns. In 2018, she helped create one of the earlier, truly autonomous cryptocurrencies, which pioneered many of the foundations we see within DeFi today. Her experiences culminated into Vesper, a DeFi growth engine in which participants can earn yield in various customizable avenues. Kruger walks us through this journey while providing unique insights into the DeFi space at large. Interviewed by Ash Bennington on July 22, 2021.

How Mainstream Adoption Is Reshaping DeFi
Is big institutional involvement beneficial for crypto? Ian Epstein, president of the Global Macro Americas division of the Makor Group, believes it is and shares his insights coming from the world of TradFi. Epstein is extremely enthusiastic about an area of crypto that often falls by the wayside—stablecoins. He believes the frictionless access to capital and liquidity they provide make them far superior to traditional USD, plus they earn much higher yield. Tune in for Epstein's additional insights on issues such as decentralized exchanges, tokenization of TradFi assets, and the negative externalities associated with the banking industry, which Epstein compares to the horse and buggy.

Mapping the Future of DeFi
A contrarian thinker in the DeFi space, Sean Lippel, partner and head of digital assets at FinTech Collective, joins Jim Bianco, president of Bianco Research LLC, to bring us through the many facets of DeFi with a new perspective. Lippel, a true expert in the field, makes a case for a possible solution to crypto's propensity to volatility, one of the primary criticisms to its feasibility as a standalone currency. Lippel suggests that continued integration of DeFi with real world assets—whether that’s real estate, commodities, business loans, etc.—will gradually reduce the volatility due to the robustness of real world demand. In addition, Lippel shares intriguing insights on central bank digital currencies, stablecoins, and regulation that break the mold of typical commentators in the space. Filmed on July 21, 2021.

Samir Madani: Tracking Illegal Oil Tankers
Samir Madani, co-founder of Tanker Trackers, joins Real Vision to discuss the nuances of the oil market and his method for tracking international oil tankers to gain insights into oil demand before countries can record their imports. Madani tracks illicit oil transportation on tankers that turn off their tracking devices because they service markets with trade sanctions. He dives into oil demand impacted by the Delta variant and cites the transportation of light oil shipments as evidence for an increase in gasoline consumption among states with fewer Covid restrictions. Madani believes that OPEC's decision will fail to lower prices in the short term because reopening economies will maintain the supply and demand imbalance leading to a bullish outlook for oil.

Framework: The DeFi Incubator
Michael Anderson and Vance Spencer, co-founders of Framework Ventures, discuss how Framework Ventures is a venture capital firm through and through—however, the company is unique in that it employs a software development department to assist their investees in growing, particularly with tokenization.

Bonds Snap Back as Robinhood Explodes Higher
Real Vision’s Jack Farley, Petr Pinkhasov, and Weston Nakamura break down a day of confounding price action across global markets. Farley and Pinkhasov cover the disappointing change in U.S. Employment from the ADP, which triggered a rally in U.S. Treasury bonds, and the ISM Services reading, which blew away expectations and caused those same bonds to sell-off later in the morning. The trio examines the wild surge in Robinhood stock ($HOOD), with Nakamura and Pinkhasov exploring potential profitable trades that could profit from this enormous volatility.
