Deal Flow Podcast Update: Is Bitcoin the gold standard of the new era? While global central banks are buying gold, how should crypto investors price BTC? In the latest Deal Flow podcast, Theo Network @Theo_Network founder @iggyioppe offers the ultimate answer connecting traditional and digital assets. ■ Key Argument: Digital Gold vs. Traditional Gold Iggy believes Bitcoin is transitioning from a risk asset to a sovereign-grade reserve asset. While its short-term volatility resembles tech stocks, its core attribute has irreversibly anchored itself as 'digital gold.' The bridging role of RWA: Why do we need Theo @Theo_Network? ✅ Because massive funds in traditional finance (TradFi) want to buy BTC but don’t want to deal with private keys. ✅ Crypto-native funds want to buy gold/treasuries but don’t want to go through KYC. Theo @Theo_Network is the permissionless bridge for both. ■ The significance of on-chain assets In the podcast, Iggy emphasizes the practical value of asset tokenization for investors: it’s not about hype. Tokenizing gold/treasuries isn’t about issuing a coin. It’s about efficiency: on-chain assets enable instant settlement (T+0) and composability. Users can collateralize on-chain gold to borrow USDC at 3 a.m. on a weekend—something traditional banks can never achieve. This conversation reveals Theo Network’s true ambition: it’s not just building a simple RWA platform. It’s enabling Bitcoin, gold, and treasuries to freely exchange within the same liquidity network.
