Lighter CEO Vlad Novakovski: "Ethereum is the clearing layer of decentralized security you want to build on for finance"
Vlad comments on yesterday's announcement that Robinhood Wallet now offers native in-app perps trading powered by the Ethereum-based Lighter:
"One thing we strongly agree with the Robinhood team on is that decentralized rails and tokenized finance are the future and that Ethereum is the clearing layer of decentralized security you want to build on for finance."
He continues:
"When those things come together, that has attracted both retail and institutions. For a lot of the institutions that are currently not on chain, we believe the first time they come on chain will be in the context of the work we're doing with Robinhood, the CFTC, and so on."
