In this Episode, Messari's Enterprise team digs into three hot threads: why stablecoins are the best onramp for mainstream users, whether on-chain neobanks can beat custodial fintech, and the latest in the Perp Wars (Hyperliquid vs. Aster/Lighter). We close with Double Zero’s launch, token design debates, and what it means for high-speed crypto networks.
