Neobanks are yet to be fully assaulted by the innovation of crypto. It will go so far beyond just moving money across borders at low cost.

With MNAVs compressing, there is no doubt the pressure is on to innovate and restablish a premium. Expect DeFi to catch fire in the coming months on multiple chains as DATs anchor collateral fresh from the equity markets. The intersection of TradFi x Crypto will play out

What would it take for @SergeyNazarov and @ChainLinkGod to launch a $LINK DAT?? Words can't describe how bullish I am on the vortex of - Proven OG founder - True utility - TradFi narratives kicking off - Rolling community drops from CL build projects - Token well below
