How Austin Barack Separates Signal From Noise in DeFi

It looks like the gap between DeFi hype and sustainable revenue is finally starting to close.


In today's episode, we sit down with Austin Barack, founder of Relayer Capital, to explore how smart money separates signal from noise in DeFi.


Austin has backed some of the current most exciting protocols like GTE and Vedae. We cover how to identify genuine product-market fit versus token momentum, why stablecoin regulation could catalyze DeFi and what the shift toward revenue-focused investing means for the space.


This conversation cuts through the noise to focus on fundamentals and the infrastructure quietly reshaping crypto's future.


Let's get into it.
