Market neutral trading with Santisa

Welcome back to The Gwart Show! Today, Santisa @Tiza4ThePeople

from Lucidity joins us to discuss market neutral strategies in DeFi. He breaks down how his fund extracts alpha from stablecoin pairs and incentive programs while maintaining a risk-neutral position. We dive into the sophistication behind monitoring protocols, identifying opportunities through on-chain analysis, and why DeFi tokens rarely represent true equity value. Santisa explains why his fund immediately dumps governance tokens, how they achieved double digit APY with “negligible risk,” and why Bitcoin remains his primary conviction despite years in the DeFi ecosystem.
