What VCs at Figment are excited about

We went live with Figment Capital’s Jim Parillo to discuss DeFi infrastructure, Hyperliquid’s ecosystem, and the movement of intellectual capital toward perpetual markets. We dive into lending, equity perps, and regulatory considerations before shifting to crypto VC trends.

Thanks for tuning in!
