@maplefinance No idea who this dude is but he livestreamed the whole thing yesterday so props to him on that 💪

Also on mobile the above video looks fine for me but on desktop it seems like the twitter ui and/or Opus is causing it to be on the left side of the tweet only... very strange...

Anyway though please RT if you are a fellow $SYRUP-enjoyoor 💪💪

"Stablecoins... are at about $300B circulating supply... and we think that's going to go to trillions over the next few years..." - Sid Powell 🥞 from Maple This is from a great interview Sid did last week that sort of went under the radar, as the interviewers don't have a presence on here as far as I can tell. It is from 'Global Money Talk' from 3PROTV, and had all sorts of bangers in it, so wanted to highlight a couple in a brief thread :) Will also link to full video below! Disclaimer: I own tons of $SYRUP and work with the team so am using the new Nikita tag on this just to be safe! :)

Is easy to get discouraged after defi exploits HOWEVER its worth noting that they pale in comparison to the private credit crisis in tradfi-land... I've been wanting to highlight my good bro Martin de Rijke's recent appearance on The Rollup and he actually touched on this exact topic in it... Martin is Head Of Growth at Maple, and he spoke with Andy and Robbie Klages all about everything Maple is doing 💪 As he explains in the interview, Martin's been involved with crypto since 2015 and has been a part of the Maple team since 2022, so he has been instrumental in the project's massive success, and had a ton of interesting stuff to say regarding both Maple and defi as a whole... Below clip is- again- on the private credit crisis in macro and whether it can be an opportunity for defi and for Maple, and then it also touches on Maple's overall business model and some other interesting stuff toward the end. As noted above, the private credit crisis is far larger in scope than these defi exploits, and it is also quite representative of the problems in tradfi that defi solves - the fact that it is opaque and corrupt and is based on giant webs of counterparties where there is no way to confirm where your money is and no blockchain to check... In this regard it is an apt reminder of the inherent superiority of blockchain-based financial rails, and the value in what we are all doing here... But yeah, as always, I own a ton of $SYRUP and work with the Maple team, so will flip the 'partner' tag on this 💪 And then will also include a couple more interesting clips from the interview below, and link to the full discussion :) Massive respect to Martin for the great interview!!! 💪🥞 He's been a wonderful friend of mine for as long as I've known him and I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend giving him a follow on here if you aren't already doing so! :)

Maple Finance co-founder Sid Powell 🥞: "We're in a market regime where everyone is very depressed about the prices of assets... There's a lot of pessimism... But the actual underlying traction is very good... the level of adoption is actually growing much faster than people appreciate... Right now, capital formation- and prices- is actually well below adoption, but I think prices will catch up again." This is from an absolutely fantastic interview that Sid recently did with Stefano Sanabria from Alea Research that sort of slipped under the radar a bit, but was particularly noteworthy imho... There's a bunch of excellent segments in it but the one embedded below is on this current disconnect that we are all witnessing in crypto... Obviously we are deep in the recesses of goblintown right now and I think Sid is 100% right that this price action does not match the fundamentals... And I think this is more true in defi than in any other area of crypto. You have a whole bunch of blue-chip defi protocols that are utterly revolutionizing the financial landscape and who are building with a decades-long vision in mind and really legitimately moving the ball down the field in terms of blockchain's subsuming of tradfi rails. Stuff like Aave, Pendle, Hyperliquid, Maple itself, and a bunch of others... The pathological bear'ism affecting markets right now is 100% misaligned with the above reality, and I think this discorrelation will violently correct sometime this year (most likely once rates get dropped following Warsh replacing Powell in May). So yeah, absolutely fantastic interview and I wanted to clip a few of the highlights and encourage you to watch the whole thing, so will do so below and then provide the link to the full version of it 💪

We just interviewed Sid Powell, Co-Founder of Maple Finance: • $20B+ loans originated. $4B AUM • #2 global Bitcoin-backed lender • $500M loan settled on a Saturday • 6% annualized borrowing rate. • Leverage the crypto. Skip the tax • 70-90 bps vs traditional 2-and-20 "They're not going to be trapped inside these walled gardens with a single financial services provider who charges them a ton of black box fees they have no idea what they are. Transparency is a hallmark of onchain financial services." Pass the syrup. Sid Powell 🥞 | Maple Full Interview:

Clip below is from a presentation called 'The Road To 80k $ETH: Tradfi, Treasuries, And Trump'... from Mantle's Tim Chen- Timothée - that I highly recommend watching if $ETH price appreciation is a subject that interests you :) Is also very interesting re: Mantle... which remains one of the more fascinating projects in crypto right now... It was originally an L2, but they have basically evolved far beyond that and are now sort of becoming this giant crypto giga-entity building a variety of solutions vis a vis the global economy's evolution into a blockchain-based system... Most well-known examples are all their 'Blockchain For Banking' stuff and their new UR Neobank app but there's a bunch of others as well... Actually reminds me of Coinbase where it started as just a cex but has now basically evolved way beyond that where its sort of this blockchain-industrial behemoth now that is building out the rails and interfaces and etc of the new global financial system in a bunch of different ways... But yeah, re: Mantle and Tim Chen in the video below, one of the areas they are focused on (interestingly) is the Treasury Company space and its intersection with $ETH... Below video was recorded at Cannes/EthCC back before $ETH went on its current run and it basically outlined exactly what was going to happen with the Treasury Company meta colliding with $ETH and the absolute tear its been on the last few weeks... I think Tim is 100% correct that we are still at the very very beginning of this new bull market and there are going to be some absolutely massive W's stacked up at this intersection of variables that the video talks about... And then re: $80K $ETH.... that obviously sounds like a meme at first... HOWEVER... that's like an $8T market cap and as an inveterate permabulltard I can make the case for it :) ...as it is literally only 1/3 of gold's (current) market cap and will likely still be smaller than $MSFT and $AAPL when/if it happens... as they will likely have doubled or tripled in the next 5 years as well and very likely both be over $10T by that point... so honestly when you take the speed of the ongoing debasement into account I don't think the idea of $ETH hitting an $8T market cap someday is that crazy to be perfectly honest :) But yeah, highly recommend watching it in full - will include link to full version in next tweet!
