Robert Leshner: Superstate's Strategy of Integrating Trillions in Real-World Assets into DeFi
Manage episode 383571524 series 2478788
Robert Leshner has been at the forefront of DeFi since founding Compound in 2017. Now he's on a mission to bridge traditional finance and crypto with his new venture, SuperState.
In this episode, Robert provides an inside look at SuperState's plans to tokenize real-world assets like US Treasuries, allowing crypto protocols to access their yields. He explains why asset tokenization has been slower than expected, citing lack of demand for esoteric assets targeted in early experiments.
They discuss how Treasuries are an ideal first asset class to tokenize due to high investor demand and yields above what's available on-chain today. Robert believes bringing real-world assets on-chain will transform finance by making them programmable and composable.
Reflecting on lessons from Compound, Robert explains how SuperState is taking an institutional investor-focused approach from the start. He also shares his perspective on the current DeFi landscape and what he looks for when investing in early-stage founders.
Robert provides unique insights only someone of his experience could offer. He remains focused on the big picture - bridging TradFi and crypto to expand what's possible in DeFi.
