Wall Street runs on $700T of assets — and almost none of it settles onchain. Superstate is betting that the way to change that isn't wrapping securities in synthetic tokens, but making real, legally recognized equity live natively onchain.
Our guest Jim Hiltner, Co-founder of Superstate, joins us to unpack how Opening Bell, the Direct Issuance Program, and FundOS come together to rebuild capital-markets infrastructure from the ground up.
We'll cover:
🔹What makes Opening Bell shares legally real equity — and what that means for issuers
🔹Why tokenizing real securities is the only version institutions & regulators will accept
🔹How Direct Issuance changes the pitch to fundraising companies
🔹Bridging TradFi & DeFi — the same share settling onchain, serving as collateral, staying fully compliant
🔹What it takes to move names like Invesco & Coinbase from "interested" to live on FundOS
🔹Why this is about rebuilding capital-markets infrastructure, not just digitizing assets
