Can Solana Replace NASDAQ? With Max Resnick and Logan Jastremski

What kind of infrastructure do we actually need to support real, global trading onchain?

In today's episode, we dig into the debate between high-throughput blockchains and modular approaches with Logan and Max, both vocal Solana supporters. They share why they believe monolithic scaling is the way to go, and why Solana is aiming to replace NASDAQ, not Ethereum. (Yes!)

We discuss how global data synchronization at the speed of light could lead to fairer markets with tighter spreads, potentially beating traditional exchanges. We also cover MEV extraction on Solana, its evolving social layer following the Trump coin surge, and why the recent inflation reduction proposal didn't succeed.

Let's dive in.
