BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
Gm! In this episode we’re joined by Nick Ducoff, Head of Institutional Growth at the Solana Foundation, to explore Solana’s institutional adoption and the rise of internet capital markets. We discuss the growth of tokenized real-world assets, stablecoins, and onchain equities, alongside regulatory dynamics, institutional tooling gaps, and the structural advantages of public blockchains. We also discuss emerging opportunities in real estate, municipal bonds, and expanding global investor access.
Enjoy!
