On this episode of the Crypto Mavericks podcast, I spoke with Ben Nadareski, CEO and Co-Founder of Solstice Labs, to talk about how he went from nuclear physicist to building one of the most innovative DeFi platforms on Solana. We discussed Solstice’s mission to make institutional-grade yield strategies accessible to everyone, how their YieldVault and stablecoin USX work, and why Solana was the right blockchain for their vision. Ben also shared insights on risk management, regulatory compliance, and how Solstice is bridging the gap between Wall Street and DeFi in a transparent and sustainable way.
