Charles d'Haussy, the CEO of the dYdX Foundation, answers some big questions:
- Why are crypto derivatives so important - and much bigger than the spot market?
- What was dYdX's journey to becoming the world's biggest decentralized exchange for derivatives?
- Why are centralized giants like Coinbase and Binance losing market share and trading volume?
- How does FTX's dramatic collapse painfully show why DeFi protocols are needed?
- Will there ever be a regulatory framework for decentralized exchanges?
Why did dYdX move away from Ethereum to launch its very own blockchain?
Of course, we've also got time for a little bit of fun in my quick-fire questions. I ask Charles:
- What would he say if Sam Bankman-Fried gave you a call?
- Who would he choose to co-found a new crypto startup with… SBF, Changpeng Zhao, Brian Armstrong or Arthur Hayes?
- If he could have dinner with one person, dead or alive, who would it be?
This episode is fantastic listening for anyone who's curious about decentralized finance and crypto derivatives - especially if you want fresh insights into what 2024 has in store for this fast-moving industry.
