Vibhu on internet capital markets, on CNBC-TV18 "This is the beautiful thing about crypto networks. They are global. They are permissionless." "As long as you can get money into crypto in the form of a stablecoin, you have access to global capital markets by default. And those markets are really liquid today. You can access borrow lend markets, private credit, treasuries, fixed yield." "The story of crypto is about making finance truly global and borderless. And Solana is number one there." @vibhu @CNBC_Awaaz
