Lightspeed

In this episode of Lightspeed, the hosts, along with Dan Smith and Carlos from the research team, delve into the evolving landscape of AMMs and DEXs on Solana, highlighting the shift towards prop AMMs for short-tail assets and traditional AMMs for long-tail assets. They discuss the winning strategies for both types, emphasizing horizontal integration for prop AMMs and vertical integration, particularly token issuance, for traditional AMMs. The conversation extends to tokenized equities, the stamp model, and the challenges and opportunities in on-chain equity trading, including the need for broader asset offerings and consumer applications. The panel also touches on the regulatory aspects and the potential convergence of traditional finance and crypto in tokenized asset trading.
