Episode description

Ben Forman is the Founder and Managing Partner of ParaFi Capital, a $1.5 billion manager of financial applications of blockchain technology and digital assets across long, arbitrage, venture, and GP seeding strategies. Ben last came on the show in 2022 as part of our Crypto for Institutions mini-series, and that conversation is replayed in the feed.

 

Our conversation dives into the evolution of blockchain over the past few years, including the industry's "Lehman moment" and subsequent recovery. We discuss Bitcoin, memecoins, the rise of stablecoins as blockchain's killer app, tokenized assets, prediction markets, credit, and the intersection of AI and blockchain technologies. Ben also shares insights into ParaFi’s approach to investing and his long-term vision for building a business in this dynamic industry.
