In this episode, the analysts take a deep dive into Fantasy Top and FriendTech. They explore Fantasy Top's unique approach to speculating on crypto influencers' social media engagement and discuss the implications of separating the influencer from the token. The conversation then shifts to FriendTech's bumpy token launch and the challenges faced during the distribution process. The analysts also touch on the utility of FriendTech's token and whether it represents true value or pure speculation. To close out they touch on Layer Zero's novel approach to countering Sybil attacks, and the implications of BlackRock's BUIDL overtaking Franklin Templeton in tokenized treasuries. Enjoy!
