attended my second @Vault__Summit this year (cannes, NYC) at a legendary venue: the NYSE 🇺🇸 key takeaways: > regulation is the product; SEC & CFTC news shapes every product decision in real time > vaults have found PMF but regulatory clarity is still murky; "vault" could mean very different things depending on the use-case > billion dollar question: is curation equivalent to traditional asset management? > lots of discussions around risk management, lack of insurance infra and non-custodiality > non-correlated yield sources in high demand; asset-backed financing, reinsurance quietly gaining traction > there's only a handful of OG crypto teams left; massive consolidation happening > people are genuinely excited about fixed-term, fixed-rate loans; will see how morpho midnight and related products play out > some crypto VCs still alive; though mostly deploying into non-crypto stuff > some crypto people tried to attend in shorts and got turned away; degen vibes are officially dead > RWAs & tokenization are the most interesting things happening onchain rn; @Securitize , @plumenetwork and @OndoFinance leading the pack > ton of work left to make RWA assets composable with rest of defi shoutout to leading teams like @Morpho , @gauntlet_xyz , @kpk_io, @LlamaRisk who are leading the onchain asset management revolution crypto is dead. long live crypto.

was an absolute pleasure to work with @0xyanshu for over a year now he's got two complementary strengths: growth & bizdev when he joined the team, he was in his early innings of bizdev - strong network but still learning how to close deals fast forward, now he's completely capable of handling client relationships and closing deals on his own which reflects how quickly he has learnt and he's already really good at growth and marketing - his active posts on the CT timeline says it all in summary, he's a young, energetic and well-networked guy any high-performing team would be glad to have on their team
