In this week’s episode of market talks, Cointelegraph welcomes Justin Bram, co-founder and CEO of Astaria, which allows users to put up their non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as collateral for instant liquidity. Bram also has his own YouTube channel with over 30,000 subscribers.
We start by getting Bram’s take on the most exciting thing happening in decentralized finance (DeFi) right now and follow it up by discussing the biggest thing happening in DeFi.
Then we get into Ethereum layer 2 protocols like Arbitrum and whether Bram is bullish on them or whether he has his sights set on something else.
With the next big Ethereum upgrade just around the corner, we asked Bram for his perspective on the Shanghai upgrade and the potential of liquid staking derivatives. Will it be as big as everyone expects and thinks it will be? Does the unlocking of Ether (ETH) represent the offering of some new innovation in the crypto and DeFi space?
By the end of the chat with Bram, we hope the audience has better understood the most exciting and important developments in DeFi, the potential outcomes of Ethereum Shanghai unlocks, and the long-term impact of this on liquid staking. derivatives space, and also development within the Ethereum layer 2 platform.
