About this episode
*Not Financial Advice sits down in our fireside studio in Denver to meet Gaspard Peduzzi, co-founder and CEO of Spectra, a DeFi protocol pioneering the tokenization of future yield.
You may remember Gaspard for his work on APWine, one of the earliest protocols to tokenize yield streams. He has been a vocal advocate for trustless and censorship-resistant financial systems ever since.
Spectra enables users to tokenize and trade future yield, bringing financial strategies like hedging, speculation, and fixed-income products onchain. Offering unprecedented flexibility and composability in DeFi, Spectra hit $200 million in TVL within a year of its launch. Watch to find out how.
