8Blocks representative
Sergei leads product and analytics at 8Blocks and works with teams on how tokenized financial products are structured and priced. On the Space he covered why stablecoins are turning into financial infrastructure and what onchain products need to offer before idle capital moves back into DeFi.
About the event
Stablecoins are becoming financial infrastructure. The real opportunity is what gets built on top of them.
Sergei Novikov, CPO at 8Blocks, joined WenAltSeason and the panel to discuss the $300B stablecoin market, DeFi liquidity and what could bring capital back onchain. The conversation went through whether stablecoin holders are leaving crypto or simply refusing to take risk, why yield-bearing onchain cash equivalents are growing while traditional stablecoins shrink, and how DeFi competes with tokenized Treasuries and money-market products. Our main takeaway: the next chapter may be bigger than another rotation into altcoins.
That is how we approach Digital Assets: tokenization is infrastructure, and the financial product itself has to work first. Tokenized Treasuries, credit and funds attract stablecoin capital only when yield, risk and liquidity make sense to the holder. Our digital assets strategy and tokenization readiness work starts from the same question.
