Dean Eigenmann, Co-Founder of Market Start Inc, joins us to talk about the massive shift in crypto market dynamics. Dean explains his transition from the “closeted” world of MEV trading to launching a liquid-focused fund. We discuss why venture capital overhang has left the market without marginal buyers and why “crypto mullets” are the future of critical infrastructure. Dean also breaks down the math behind token buybacks, comparing the success of Hyperliquid to the struggles of Helium and Jupiter.
