What's up, everyone? This is Anthony Pompliano. Most of you know me as Pomp. You're listening

Off the Chain, simply the best podcast in crypto. Let's kick this thing off.

Meltem Demir's is a cryptocurrency investor, advisor, and advocate. Meltem previously worked with some of the largest companies in the world,

was a vice president at Digital Currency Group, the founder of Athena Capital,

and is the current chief strategy officer at coin shares.

In this conversation, Melton and I discussed the intersection of technology and finance,

why she thinks stable coins are the new CDOs, where crypto assets fit into an institutional

investor's portfolio, and finally we covered a concept that she calls the shit coin waterfall.

Meltem is one of the most important voices in crypto. I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I did.

We've got a lot to get through.

What up?

Keeping it cash on a Thursday.

Yeah, we had a great warm up before we turned on the recording, so it should be fun.

Let's go over real quick for people who don't know just your background.

Sure.

And then we can dig into all of the controversial ideas that I'm sure you're excited to talk about.

I don't think they're controversial.

They're just thoughtful, I hope.

But we can debate the merits of that.
