🎙 The Latest Development Podcast | Solana to $10K? Parker (DFDV) on Building the Digital Economy
In this high-signal episode of The Latest Development, host Dirt welcomes Parker — COO & CIO of DeFi Dev Corp (NASDAQ: DFDV) — for a deep dive into Solana, public crypto companies, and the future of finance.
Parker drops his bold SOL to $10,000 thesis, explains why experiencing Solana on-chain beats any spreadsheet, and shares how DFDV is building an active Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) that treats SOL as productive “digital oil.” From his early finance roots and Kraken days to launching one of the top-performing Nasdaq stocks of 2025, this conversation is packed with conviction and actionable insights.
