A classic observation in finance papers is that people only hold cash if there are frictions. People either hoard cash to spend in the future or face barriers to investing. Crypto companies are removing those frictions. - @ether_fi lets users borrow cash against their investments. You don’t have to sell, which decreases the need to hold cash to spend in the future. - @anvil_xyz lets companies put deposits in yield bearing assets like money market funds. Instead of putting 50k down for an event sponsorship a year ahead of time, you put 50k worth of money market funds down and keep the yield. - @SECGov’s new innovation exemption allows tokenized NMS stocks to trade against money market funds in AMMs. Neither LPs nor swappers need to hold cash to access stocks. People say time in the market beats timing the market. Crypto literally increases time in the market.
