Simon Schaber is the Chief Commercial Officer of Spool DAO.
In this episode, we cover how Spool V2 is automating DeFi returns all, including retail investors, banks, and institutional investors. Launched on Ethereum Mainnet in 2022, Spool is a fully permissionless and non-custodial DeFi middleware serving as the ultimate backend for your cryptoasset-based yields, with programmable risk models.
With V2 going into beta soon, we discuss how Spool can also be leveraged by banks, fintech startups, funds, exchanges, wallet providers, crypto institutional investors, and even treasuries to earn DeFi returns in a fully composable manner.
