LESS GAMBLING, MORE BUILDING: 5 AREAS OF REAL CRYPTO GROWTH

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Crypto should move away from gambling-style projects that exploit user asymmetries and instead refocus on building systems that replace legacy finance, not replicate its predatory mechanics. Five key sectors shaping that future are Tokenized assets, led by firms like Securitize and Ondo, which bring real-world financial products onchain; Onchain capital formation, which enables global token-first fundraising; Stablecoins and crypto neobanks, powered by projects like EtherFi and KeetaPay; Agentic finance, where AI-driven agents execute intent-based transactions; and Bitcoin financial products, which unlock yield and utility for BTC holders.
