Join Fadi Aboualfa, Copper's Head of Research, as he engages in a thought-provoking discussion with Jonathan Reiter, Co-founder of Chainargos, and Patrick Tan, General Counsel. Together, they unravel questions that are reshaping the financial landscape:

In the latest episode of CopperCast, our Head of Research Fadi Aboualfa had an insightful conversation with Jeremy Ng, Co-Founder of OpenEden. This organization has made impressive progress in the tokenization of real-world assets, specifically, short-term Treasury Bills.

The Singapore-based team is among the limited group that has managed to successfully connect real-world assets to the blockchain, while preserving the paper trail's integrity which rests with a qualified custodian. Nearly $15 million in TBill tokens are currently issued and in circulation. Discover how OpenEden has set up their system, and explore what the future could bring, even if treasury rates were to hypothetically drop to zero. 

In the most recent CopperCast our Head of Research, Fadi Aboualfa, spoke to Eric Chen, Co-Founder and CEO of Injective Labs, an interoperable layer one blockchain for decentralized financial markets. Fadi and Eric talk about Injective’s developments since launching their mainnet in 2021, their venture goals with the announcement of their $150 million Ecosystem Fund, and philosophical takes on interoperability and scaling the DeFi ecosystem.

In the newest episode of CopperCasts our Head of Research, Fadi Aboualfa, speaks to Stylus Capital’s Founder Burak Yenigun and his Research Advisor, Robert Carver.

Stylus Capital is a digital asset hedge fund that relies solely on momentum trading strategies. Burak and Robert may work closely together in developing sound strategies, but their approaches and long-term views differ from one another, even if slightly. The podcast delves into whether the fundamental data available is enough information for traders to make a decision all the way to why exposure to holding native cryptocurrency is a valuable proposition even when cash-settled futures markets are available.
