In this episode, host Sri Misra sits down with DFDV’s Joseph Onorati to unpack one of the most misunderstood narratives in crypto: Retail vs Institutions : Who drives adoption? Who front-runs whom? And where does Solana fit into all of this?
Joseph breaks down:
Why retail historically front-runs institutions in every crypto cycle
Why institutional entry is inevitable but not the main driver of innovation
How DFDV, now a publicly listed company, represents “Wall Street on Solana”
What he means by consumer-grade crypto and why Solana fits that definition
The long-term adoption thesis:
Decentralization
Throughput
Latency
Developer focus on performance
Why Solana’s technical roadmap positions it ahead in the L1 race
How Solana’s ecosystem is scaling toward both consumer and institutional use cases
