Why The "Institutions Are Coming" Meme Is Crypto's Biggest Lie with Pranav Kanade

The "institutions are coming".

This meme has been crypto's biggest false promise, but the truth behind it is more complicated than most people think.

In today's episode, we chat with Pranov from VanEck about how institutional money really enters crypto. We explore the shift from traditional venture approaches to a focus on liquid tokens as companies start launching tokens instead of IPOs.

Pranov argues the revenue meta is binary. Either crypto becomes legitimate through real business models, or it stays stuck as just a speculative market forever.

Let's get into it.
