Show Notes Chapter Markers

In this episode, I speak with Vasily Nikonov, the Founder & CEO of Velvet Capital, on the potential of passive investing through ETF funds on chain. Capital is a company that's building the infrastructure that allows individuals and institutions to create and manage ETF style funds in which individual investors can deploy capital into. With the success of passive investing in traditional financial markets over the last 20 years, there is no reason to believe that passive flows outstripping active flows is not going to happen in DeFi. Vasily, from Velvet Capital, is working to build an infrastructure for individuals and institutions to manage ETF style funds on-chain. If you're interested in investing in passive flows in DeFi, companies like Velvet Capital are ones that you will want to be aware of.
