Episode 7 of Professional Punters is live, with
@SebastianGallic, founder of
@IndexifyApp.
This episode has a slightly different format than our typical episodes: Sebastian interviews me about Freeport for the first half, then we turn the microphones around and I interview him.
Sebastian began his career at Fitch Ratings, working on aircraft leases and other asset-backed securities.
He later joined M3 Partners, where his creditor-side work covered Celsius, BlockFi, Voyager, and FTX.
He now builds Indexify, a self-custodial social-investing platform where creators build and rebalance onchain portfolios called Stacks.
At its core, the conversation compares the crypto rails for investing and trading: Indexify focuses on spot ownership and portfolio construction, while Freeport focuses on perpetual futures, leverage, and 24/7 trading.
Among other topics, we cover:
How perpetual futures actually work
Finding signals in insider and hedge-fund filings
Deploying markets through Hyperliquid
Bringing pre-IPO exposure to everyday investors
How GPU financing creates onchain yield
The structures and risks behind pre-IPO tokens
How decentralized margin loans work
The different products and users behind investing versus trading
