Today I’m excited to announce a new Blockworks podcast called “On the Margin” that explores the growth of digital assets from the perspective of financial industry professionals.

Central banks are in a global race to debase their currencies, interest rates are at all-time lows, and inequality is growing faster than ever before.
At the same time, digital assets like Bitcoin are gathering momentum and finally attracting the attention of financial institutions, companies, and even governments.

“On the Margin” takes a look at the emerging phenomenon of bitcoin, not from the perspective of industry talking heads, but from Wall Street veterans. I’ll be speaking directly with fund managers, analysts, and financial industry professionals about how they view the growth of the digital asset ecosystem.

“On the Margin” is a two-part show. Once a week I’ll be interviewing industry experts, and then at the end of the week I’ll be joined by my co-host Tyler Neville where we’ll break down the top crypto and macro stories of the week. Episodes go live every Wednesday and Saturday morning.

The show launches today, March 17th, with Lyn Alden of Lyn Alden Investment Strategy as the first guest. Next up, I will be joined by Dan Tapiero of 10T Holdings and Grant Williams of “Things That Make You Go Hmm.”

Subscribe to “On the Margin” today on Apple or Spotify, or watch the episode on YouTube.

Meta-aggregators like Titan and Kamino Swap improve price execution for users, making the Solana swapping landscape more competitive. Jupiter has incorporated meta-aggregation features into its latest routing engine to keep users on its front end (own the user, own the flow). At large, teams are treating swaps as a commoditized complement, offering incredibly cheap or free swaps to own the end-user and increase demand for high-margin product offerings (multi-product DeFi). On another note, the divergence in the concentration of aggregator volume between DEXs suggests increased specialization at the DEX layer by asset type.
