“The advantage with tokenized derivatives of equities is that they can benefit from the liquidity of traditional cash equities.”
That framing from Arush Sehgal of Alpaca at Solana Breakpoint 2025 stood out because it was practical, not ideological.
His point wasn’t that derivatives are better than spot. It was that they solve a real problem: liquidity doesn’t show up everywhere at once.
What stood out:
✅ Derivatives borrow liquidity from traditional markets
✅ On-chain markets stay open when exchanges are closed
✅ Capital efficiency matters more than purity
✅ In many regions, derivatives already dominate equity trading
It felt like a reminder that global access often comes before perfect market structure. Derivatives aren’t a shortcut—they’re a bridge.
