I had the pleasure of diving deep with two distinguished guests, Saad Qureshi of YAP Global and Pranav Kanade of VanEck.

First, I spoke with Saad Qureshi, Director at Yap Global, about the challenges and strategies in building trust and elevating narratives within the crypto industry. Saad emphasized the importance of clear communication and the need for projects to differentiate themselves in a saturated market. He shared insights from his recent talk at ETHDenver, highlighting the necessity for crypto projects to effectively communicate their unique value propositions to stand out and attract users beyond the existing crypto community.

Next, I welcomed Pranav Kanade, Portfolio Manager for the Digital Assets Alpha Fund at VanEck. We discussed the implications of a recent Supreme Court decision affecting the SEC's regulatory authority and how it might impact the crypto industry. Pranav provided a detailed look into his investment strategies, emphasizing the importance of having a clear thesis and tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) for crypto projects. He also shared his views on the future of regulatory clarity and its potential positive impact on the industry.

Throughout the episode, we touched on various topics, including Bitcoin's long-term vision, the role of narratives in crypto, and the evolving landscape of blockchain technology. It was a fascinating conversation that underscored the crypto world's dynamic and rapidly changing nature.

Thank you to both Saad and Pranav for their valuable insights and to our listeners for tuning in!
