one cool thing about NFTs exposed to liquid assets is that they can easily plug into DeFi
in the past there were many experiments trying to mix DeFi + NFTs
this was a dream for OGs
but most failed or stayed niche
like NFT + lending
the problem was the illiquid + non fungible nature of NFTs
a new era of NFTs is beginning
they’re not just cultural status anymore. they can be economic tools too
take the shape collection for example
each shape is backed by Ξ
this makes it much easier for lenders to underwrite the risk of your NFT
you can keep the cultural status + aesthetics of your NFT while also benefiting from its liquid side
so powerfull

we're still early
i know a lot of ppl are excited about getting the poly airdrop and probably won't like reading this
but imo an L2 governance token can't justify a multi-billion valuation for a crypto consumer app
they've already raised multiple private rounds and sold equity to investors
$200m @ $1b
$2b @ $9b
$1b @ $15b
equity vs token battle again!
and eventually equity holders win because they have the legal edge and capture the cash flow while token holders get some governance and in-app utilities
just my guess tho
no idea how this ends
maybe the polymarket team has something else in mind
hopefully!
