Tori: Tokenizing 15% Yield From Institutional FX Markets, Uncorrelated With Crypto | DeFi Frontier

About this episode

Samed Düzçay discusses how Tori generates yield from institutional FX markets, uncorrelated with crypto cycles.

Samed Düzçay is the Founder of Tori. DeFi yields often collapse in bear markets because they recycle crypto-native capital. But Tori generates yield from somewhere else entirely. In this episode, Sam explains how Tori brings institutional FX carry trades onchain, borrowing in low-rate currencies, lending in high-rate emerging market currencies, and hedging the FX exposure fully back to USD. The spread that remains after hedging is 8-15% yield, generated from real economic activity in global money markets, completely uncorrelated with crypto cycles. Tori is expected to launch in May so we're getting a jumpstart with this episode of DeFi Frontier to learn more. ------ 💎 THIS EPISODE'S SPONSORS 🔒 KPK | Best risk-adjusted yield through automated vaults 🏙 MAINSTREET | Bringing proven TradFi yield strategies to DeFi markets 🟠 APYX | The first dividend-backed stablecoin (DBS) 🏦 ALTURA | Bringing the yield institutions kept, to your wallet 🕛 NOON | The highest and safest stablecoin yield, built for the long term 👻 MANTLE | Aave V3 is live on Mantle 🐡 PUFFER INSTITUTIONAL | ETH staking solutions for scale ⚔️ KATANA | Deep liquidity & real yield ------ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00…
