3. “The Network State” Author: Decentralized Network States are Possible, Preferable, and Profitable

According to on-site reports by LianGuai, Balaji Srinivasan, the author of “The Network State,” stated at the Token 2049 event on September 13th that establishing a decentralized network state is possible, preferable, and profitable. He mentioned that the conditions for the birth of a network state have already been met, with businesses forming interconnected networks globally, and community identity being the core of today’s society. With tech giants like NVIDIA and Tesla joining the crypto wave and El Salvador adopting Bitcoin as legal tender, the birth of a network state may happen in the near future, although the timing is uncertain. In a network state, digital citizenship will be realized, and gaining diplomatic recognition will have social and political impacts on the network state. Traditional nations and social media giants generate significant GDP and market value through large populations or users and high ARPU, while future network states can rival traditional nations and social media giants in scale through Saas (Society-as-a-Service).

4. Clave Founder: Emerging Markets Lack Institutional Funding in DeFi and Crypto-related Solutions

According to LianGuai’s report, CrossRegional LianGuairtners and Clave founder LianGuaiblo Pizzimbono stated at the Permissionless conference held in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday that emerging markets currently lack institutional funding in DeFi and crypto-related solutions. One way to alleviate the waning interest of investors in emerging markets is to expand the use of stablecoins and central bank digital currencies. CBDCs have more complexity compared to various crypto assets. Pizzimbono attributed this to asset quality, governance, the feasibility of collateral, and scalability. Pizzimbono also mentioned that good assets, good credit characteristics, low default rates, and effective bankruptcy laws are another gateway for institutional investors to enter emerging markets. Scalability is also important for institutions because they won’t see real returns unless their investment exceeds $100 million.

    5. Compound Founder: Institutions Will Not Engage in DeFi

    According to LianGuai’s report at the Permissionless conference in Austin, Texas, Compound founder Robert Leshner commented on DeFi, saying, “I have a strong opinion on this, institutions will not come.” Leshner is currently the CEO of Superstate, a blockchain financial company. He believes that TradFi institutions want to use DeFi technology without purchasing the tokens that the ecosystem relies on. In his view, traditional financial companies joining DeFi would require tokenizing traditional financial assets and giving up native crypto assets. Leshner stated, “This is the massive divide that will define DeFi for the next decade.”
