#99: Institutional Crypto Trading & Yield with Bo Zhang from Function

Why are so many Web3 projects with massive treasuries not doing active treasury management?That’s the question we explore in this episode with Bo Zhang, COO at Function: a project building the rails that allow Bitcoin to actually function: liquid, composable, and yield-generating.Together with Bo, we dive deep into the intersection of institutional trading & token management, treasury management, and working with market makers.Bo is also one of the instructors of our upcoming course: the Crypto Treasury Management Academy launching October 29th, designed to help web3 finance professionals learn how to optimize, allocate, and protect their organization’s crypto treasury.✅ OUR RESOURCES🌐 Join a global community of web3 accounting & finance professionals - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://app.theaccountantquits.com/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🤓 Join the FREE Crypto Accounting Class & learn how to start working in web3 accounting ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theaccountantquits.com/free-class⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🙌 Join the next cohort of the Crypto Accounting Academy and learn how to manage a business using crypto ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theaccountantquits.com/crypto-accounting-academy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ✊ Follow The Accountant Quits on Socials👉 LinkedIN: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/school/the-accountant-quits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 👉 Twitter(X): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/accountantquits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 👉 YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theaccountantquits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎙️ Follow Episode Guest Bo Zhang: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bozhang7940/🎧 WebsiteFor show notes and past guests, please visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theaccountantquits.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Topics covered(0:00) Coming Up(2:44) Background in web3(6:02) Stress testing DeFi protocols(11:25) Treasury management for web3 projects(14:41) Active treasury management (17:36) Get 2 months for free with Request Finance(19:16) Working with market makers(22:54) Crypto hedging basics(26:27)  Outsourcing crypto hedging(28:19) Do web3 organizations use derivatives(29:24) Evolution of Bitcoin DeFi(35:56) About Function & FBTC(37:30) Lessons from Ren Protocol(42:14) Function’s vision & RWAs(45:32) Guiding principles for web3 treasuries(48:36) Reach out to Bo Zhang
