New episode of On The Road with @nickducoff Nick talks with @TFGolden from @BaillieGifford about the future of tokenization, regulation, and innovation in digital assets, with insights into Solana's role in London. Check out the full episode 👇

The next major feature upgrade to @PhoenixTrade will finally leverage @solana DeFi's greatest asset: spot liquidity. Traders will soon be able to post SOL and other tokens as collateral for their positions. A few caveats before I dive in: - I hate announcing things before they ship. Talk is cheap, and execution is hard. And nobody cares that the execution is hard. - Phoenix is not the fully on-chain perps venue to have spot collateral. This was one of the best features offered by Drift and Mango. As with everything we build, Phoenix's approach will never be a blind copy-paste of our predecessors. I'm excited about this feature for many reasons. 1. Solana users with SOL and other tokens but no USDC no longer need to sell their assets to deposit and trade on Phoenix. 2. Users and vaults who want to run long spot, short perp basis strategies no longer need to think about manually rebalancing. 3. Sophisticated users who trade both spot and perps can keep their capital on Phoenix and simultaneously trade spot while margining their perps positions. I'll write more about this in a future post. I think it's one of the coolest things that no other perps platform can do. And it is only possible because Phoenix is fully on-chain. There are 2 questions I get asked often that I often find challenging to answer: 1. Why does it matter that Phoenix is fully on-chain? 2. Why should I trade on Phoenix over [X]? Here is my definitive answer. Being on-chain gives Phoenix access to Solana's capital, users, and liquidity in a way no off-chain venue can. Most people think that Phoenix is the exchange and Solana is the infrastructure platform, but they have that backwards. Solana is a programmable exchange, and Phoenix is infrastructure that taps into everything Solana offers. You shouldn't trade on Phoenix; you should trade on Solana, because Solana will be the decentralized protocol that houses the world's financial assets. Phoenix is simply the best window into that on-chain future. This is how the composability thesis will finally play out, a couple of years late.

I’ve been in this space for years and still have a hard time wrapping my head around a lot of products being launched. I read their launch posts and almost immediately tune out. Most projects market like they’re only talking to other blockchain devs. Stop letting your devs do the marketing. Normies don’t care about your ‘ZK proofs,’ ‘L2 scaling,’ or ‘permissionless smart contracts.’ They just want to know: what does this DO for me? How do I use and access it? Pitch it like they’re 5. Use zero jargon. Skip the 30-min explainer videos. The winners will be the projects that makes it stupid simple.
