Show Notes
Join Alex Tapscott as he decodes the world of crypto with special guest Sid Powell, Co-Founder and CEO of Maple. Listen in as they discuss Maple's evolution from the 2022 credit crisis to over $4B in AUM, why overcollateralized onchain lending is attracting family offices, funds, and institutional capital seeking T-bill-beating yields with daily liquidity, and how Maple is expanding beyond crypto-native users through DeFi integrations, securitized products, and fintech distribution. They also explore the growing opportunity in tokenized collateral—from Bitcoin to gold, equities, and real-world assets—the role onchain credit could play in the broader tokenization supercycle, and how AI agents may become major users of stablecoins, onchain lending, and autonomous credit markets as machine-native economic activity emerges.
