Episode notes
INSIGHT

Century Of Layered Market Complexity

  • Modern US capital markets evolved from 1929 reforms and accumulated layers of intermediaries and rules over 100 years.
  • These intermediaries add fees, delays, and inertia that make markets inefficient by design.
INSIGHT

Intermediaries Create Built-In Friction

  • Today's market plumbing forces trades through exchanges, clearinghouses, and custodians, each adding cost and friction.
  • That design explains why markets still close at 4 p.m. and why settlement can take two days in 2025.
ADVICE

Design Markets From First Principles

  • Rebuild market infrastructure from software first principles: global, 24/7, programmable, permissionless, and cryptographically secured.
  • Replace legacy intermediaries with a single global ledger to enable internet-scale capital markets.
