Chris Kim is the CoFounder and CEO of Axis.Most of the volume happening in crypto still isn't visible onchain. It's a growing volume from fintechs, neobanks, CEXs, and remittance platforms bridging services between stablecoins, fiat, and tokenized assets behind the scenes, working with OTC desks for liquidity they can't source on their own.In this DeFi Frontier episode, Chris explains how Axis Prime is building the "balance sheet as a service" layer that powers these conversions, similar to Citadel Securities for the tokenized era. He explains how DeFi capital formation through USDx feeds Axis Prime's institutional arbitrage strategies, why the yield is real and where it comes from, and why this new wave of tokenization promises a much larger TAM for years to come.------💎 THIS EPISODE'S SPONSORS🔒 KPK | Best risk-adjusted yield through automated vaults🟠 APYX | The first dividend-backed stablecoin (DBS)🐡 PUFFER INSTITUTIONAL | ETH staking solutions for scale------⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Intro1:33 - From trading commodities to cryptoasset arbitrage5:37 - What is Axis Prime?6:30 - Why do neobanks and fintechs need Axis Prime?8:39 - Balance sheet as a service10:18 - Betting on neobanks and fintech adopting stablecoins13:40 - Opportunity to serve fiat x crypto conversions16:14 - Axis’s first six-figure OTC trade for a leading CEX17:25 - Why Axis Prime benefits from the Origin Vault and sUSDx19:36 - USDx, sUSDx, and the Origin Vault21:07 - Axis yields over last 30 days22:55 - Where does sUSDx yield come from? 23:52 - Global onchain capital formation + service to licensed fintechs24:47 - Challenge of trust + transparency with actively managed yield26:34 - How do you earn the trust of DeFi lenders?29:32 - Has the market bottomed and bull run begun?31:08 - Could Axis earn from the Robinhood mania?34:04 - Closing------🔗 GUEST LINKS► Axis website: https://axis.to/► Axis Prime website: https://axis.to/prime► Axis on X: https://x.com/AxisFDN► Chris Kim on X: https://x.com/bidorder------🎙️ MORE FROM THE EDGE PODCAST AND EDGE NEWSLETTER► Newsletter: https://the-edge.xyz► Apple: https://tinyurl.com/edgepod► Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/edgepodspotify► Linktree: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod► Follow DeFi Dad: https://x.com/DeFi_Dad► Follow Nomatic: https://x.com/Nomaticcap► Learn DeFi: http://defidad.com/------DISCLAIMER: Nothing said on The Edge Podcast is a recommendation to buy or sell tokens or securities.

Robert Mullins is the CoFounder of Polaris.DeFi has a yield trap, where we're entirely reliant on staking rewards, T-bills, and basis trades for yield, all sources we don't fully control.In this new episode of DeFi Frontier, Robert explains how Polaris built native yield infrastructure for Ethereum. We review a new native yield-bearing ETH called pETH, that has both a market price and a mathematically guaranteed floor price. With pETH, users will be able to mint a stablecoin USDp, or Polaris digital gold GOLDp or other pAssets supported by the protocol. Robert walks us through Polaris's vision to issue stablecoins, commodities and synthetic assets against pETH, with the economic activity generated flowing back into the ecosystem.------💎 THIS EPISODE'S SPONSORS🔒 KPK | Best risk-adjusted yield through automated vaults🏦 AXIS | The Origin Vault launched on Ethereum🌐 RE | Earn real yield backed by regulated reinsurance programs🟠 APYX | The first dividend-backed stablecoin (DBS)🐡 PUFFER INSTITUTIONAL | ETH staking solutions for scale------⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Intro1:46 - Why Ethereum and Polaris are mutually self-reinforcing3:27 - What’s “the yield trap” most decentralized stablecoins run into?6:38 - How Polaris solves the yield trap?12:25 - What is pETH?
