Episode notes
INSIGHT

Bridge Between TradFi And DeFi

  • DeFi Technologies builds ETPs that list crypto on traditional exchanges so investors can buy crypto through brokers without managing wallets.
  • This bridges institutional capital into layer-1 tokens and increases liquidity for token foundations.
INSIGHT

Global ETP Reach Beyond The US

  • Velour (a DeFi Technologies subsidiary) lists dozens of ETPs across Europe, Switzerland, and the UK, covering many top market-cap tokens.
  • This product library attracts demand from regions like the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America seeking regulated access.
ADVICE

Use ETPs When Custody Or Tax Is Critical

  • Use exchange-traded wrappers when tax, corporate custody, or regulatory compliance matters more than self-custody.
  • These wrappers simplify access for portfolio managers and corporate treasuries by providing regulated ISIN-based instruments.
