Wyatt & Jake Lynch on Onchain Financial Markets (EP.695)
On The Brink with Castle Island · Wyatt, Henry, and Jake recently put out a report called "Total Value Lost", exploring how best to assess the value of various DeFi markets - starting with lending markets. This episode is a continuation of that conversation, exploring what carries value in DeFi going forward, particularly on the back of a shaky market period. This discussion covers:
• Where does the recent, ongoing market selloff leave us? • What metrics matter for onchain markets? • What market dynamics contributed to the October 10 washout? • How does leverage manifest in onchain markets, and what does it look like today? • How do you assess the value of illiquid cryptoassets? • What drives revenue multiples. • Which protocols will benefit from the tokenization of other asset classes, and which will struggle? • How do the individual behaviors and incentives of investment funds contribute to crypto market volatility?
