We went live to discuss the emergence of equity perps in crypto, focusing on their structure, advantages over traditional options, and implications for platforms like Hyperliquid and Solana. Shaunda Devens explains market mechanics, oracle design, funding rates, regulation, tokenized stocks, and Hyperliquid’s ecosystem strategy, including buybacks, builder codes, and scaling through third-party developers.

Thanks for tuning in!
