Intro

Carlos Domingo is the co-founder and CEO of Securitize. In this conversation, we talk about how tokenization has taken over crypto and is now pushing into traditional finance, as the NYSE announces a new on-chain venue for trading tokenized equities. We also dig into the Clarity Act, Carlos’s take on Coinbase pulling support for the market structure bill, Securitize’s plan to go public with Cantor Equity Partners at a $1.25 billion valuation, and what’s next for RWAs and DeFi.
