Today's guest is Ivan Kozlov, co-founder of Resolv Protocol. We discuss how Resolv has been successful with tranching, their yield-bearing stablecoin architecture, and why most TradFi instruments fail when transplanted to crypto. Ivan shares his contrarian take on distribution strategies and his ambitious vision to "stablecoinize" hedge funds, credit funds, and eventually everything.
