@diogomonica thinks the first true on-chain IPO is coming!
Diogo predicts a tipping point in the next 12 months: the first real-world asset with utility value being fully integrated into DeFi - and maybe even the first on-chain IPO.
Imagine a token issued on-chain, underwritten transparently, with no detour through legacy exchanges or banks.
The tech is ready. The players are moving. If it happens, it’ll be a foundational shift in how we think about going public - and who gets to participate.
Podcast out this week!

He’s investing in the next wave of blockchain innovation and serves as the Executive Chairman of Anchorage Digital, the first federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S. Additionally, he chairs the NEAR Foundation, shaping the future of the NEAR Protocol ecosystem.
We talk about:

- How anger can be a positive driving force when harnessed properly
- Leaving Portugal to move to Silicon Valley
- How discomfort leads to growth
- Working with Jack Dorsey
- How starting your own company accelerates knowledge building
And much, much more...
Out this Thursday!
