Episode notes
DATs Unlock Institutional Capital
- Digital asset treasury companies (DATs) act as wrappers allowing public market capital exposure to DeFi yields without direct complex DeFi interaction.
- Most mainstream investors or institutions cannot engage directly with DeFi, so these vehicles unlock new capital inflows for Ethereum and related assets.
New Crypto Capital Comes Public
- Most new capital entering crypto is from public markets due to regulatory, custody, and risk barriers for on-chain participation.
- DATs listed on NASDAQ or ETFs attract this capital, indirectly benefiting alt tokens as they generate revenue and execute buybacks.
Prioritize Larger DATs
- Focus investments on bigger digital asset treasury companies for more stability and credible products.
- Be cautious with smaller, riskier DATs that rely on limited investment and may face premium discounts.
