The article highlights a Twitter thread by a user discussing two major themes: the role of perpetual contracts (PERPS) in the crypto space and the flaws in the traditional IPO process. The author, who recently joined Ventuals as an advisor, argues that bringing real-world assets (RWAs) on-chain should focus on abstracting these assets rather than merely tokenizing them. They criticize the tokenization approach as overly complex and suggest that PERPS offer a more efficient, trader-friendly alternative. The author also takes aim at the IPO system. They claim companies like Figma and DoorDash have suffered from significant underpricing during their IPOs, costing founders and retail investors billions. They point out that investment banks deliberately undervalue shares to benefit institutional clients, creating a system that excludes retail investors from initial profits. This practice, according to the author, has resulted in over $100 billion being "stolen" from value creators since 2020. The thread paints a picture of a deeply flawed financial system entrenched in tradition, where companies opt for established banking practices that ultimately harm their own stakeholders.
