In this episode of Fully Diluted, Pranav Kanade and Wyatt Lonergan from VanEck Digital Assets are joined by Kinji Steimetz and Dylan Bane from Messari to explore the evolution of crypto beyond speculation.

They dive deep into tokenization, stablecoins, the rise of real-world assets (RWA), and how stablecoin-powered infrastructure could reshape global payments and financial access.

The conversation spans market structure reforms, the future of tokenized equities, the critical path for Deepin networks, and the competitive dynamics among base layers like Solana and MegaETH.

Learn why the industry's future success depends not on better casinos—but on rewarding real, productive innovation.
