Podcast explores the intersection of DeFi, gambling, and financial regulation

The latest episode of the podcast "So That's Blockchain" (そうだったのかブロックチェーン) features Yoshihiko Uchida, Yuya Sakai, and Shinya Otsuka discussing the boundaries between traditional finance and DeFi. The panel analyzed perpetual futures, prediction markets, and tokenized stocks, questioning whether these tools serve economic hedging or lean toward speculative gambling. The discussion also covered the implications of 24/7 trading without circuit breakers and the role of intermediaries in decentralized systems.
