“Without the spot tokenized assets, you’re effectively forcing people into the 9-to-5 regime.” said Shrey Rastogi, CEO of KAIO landing the final words in the spot vs. derivatives debate at Solana Breakpoint 2025.

His point was about time. Markets can’t be global and always-on if pricing shuts off when traditional exchanges close. Derivatives can extend access, but they still need something real trading underneath.

What stood out:

✅ True 24/7 access needs spot pricing on-chain

✅ Derivatives rely on spot assets for off-hours discovery

✅ Oracle risk is harder to see than platform risk

✅ Ownership unlocks governance and incentives

It felt like a reminder that internet capital markets only work when price discovery never sleeps.
