Why OTC Trading Could Become The Backbone of Onchain Markets | RYFT
31m | May 8, 2026In this episode, I’m joined by the Jordan the CEO behind RYFT — a project building decentralized OTC infrastructure designed for an agent-driven future.
What started as a broader onchain infrastructure vision evolved into a focused thesis around one core idea:
OTC is the backbone of mature financial markets.
We talk about:
→ why most decentralized OTC systems failed
→ how institutions move large amounts of capital without market impact
→ why AI agents may rely heavily on OTC infrastructure
→ and how RYFT is building peer-to-peer liquidity systems around this shift
The conversation also explores market structure, mechanism design, and how positive-sum incentives could create more sustainable onchain ecosystems over time.
This is a discussion about where crypto markets may be heading as agents, liquidity, and onchain coordination evolve.
