Let's get some facts. 37% of you aren't subscribed to this channel. That's almost four out of 10, just freeloading the alpha. So, come on, hit subscribe, and I promise to keep leveling up the show with the best guests and the juiciest insight. Go on, do it now.
Mert 0:25 ↗
It's a good crowd. Yes, it is. All right. Hello everybody. Uh hello. I am Mert, the CEO of Helium, and I'm here with Mike, my fellow haircut brother.
Mike Novogratz 0:38 ↗
It's true.
Mert 0:39 ↗
Um and today we're going to talk about a few things. Solana, Galaxy Markets, and everything else. So Mike, let's start with your big news of the day. Came out a few hours ago. So it seems Galaxy is launching this thing called Sweep, a tokenized liquidity fund. Uh and it's on Solana. So tell me about exactly what Sweep is, how it works, why it's important.
Mike Novogratz 1:05 ↗
Yeah. So Sweep is a uh is State Street's you know $5 trillion asset manager uh version of BlackRock's Biddle. It's a tokenized money market fund. Uh with some key differences. Uh the biggest difference is instantly when you redeem it gives you PayPal's stablecoin PYUSD. So if you think about what should happen in the world, right, you should have interest-bearing cash, that's in the US right now illegal, right? The the stablecoin bill is uh said not not happening. But if you have a money market fund that redeems into a into a stablecoin, it's roughly the same thing. And so I envision a world where people not necessarily in the United States but broadly around the world are carrying, you know, US Treasury stable uh money market fund sweep and when they want to spend it, they flip it into a stablecoin and spend it. And so instead of carrying cash in your wallet that gives you no interest, you're getting paid uh on everything you own. And that is the trend in crypto.
Mert 2:17 ↗
Yes. And so that's exciting. And it today it is only on Solana and you guys are actually quite uh let's say you're big fans of Solana. You have also tokenized your stock, right? You guys went public.
