They are the team behind Dolce and Gabbana's debut NFT drop and the latest NFT collection with luxury watchmaker Jacob & Co. called Astronomia Metaverso.That Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana personally designed a set that ended up selling for $6 million strongly suggests NFTs are more than just a novelty. We're talking real money – and real assets. Dolce & Gabbana launched its first NFTs with the help of UNXD co-founders Shashi Menon and Nick Gonzalez. Menon and Gonzalez share with Leslie Lamb, founder and host of the Crypto Unstacked podcast, the story of how they were able to inspire this multi-billion-dollar fashion conglomerate to create its own nine-piece virtual/physical collection. Menon and Gonzalez see this as a watershed moment for NFT experimentation by large corporations; UNXD is now working with watchmaker Jacob & Co. for yet another large-scale release. Menon, Gonzalez, and Lamb discuss the future of NFTs and why they're here to stay.

    This is a recast of a recent interview I guest hosted on Real Vision featuring Darius Sit, co-founder and managing partner of QCP Capital. Darius Sit speaks about his outlook for the DeFi sector. Being Singapore-based, Sit is at the heart of the Asian financial markets and digital asset community. After a recent meeting with Paul Tudor Jones, Sit came away with enlightening insights on inflation within digital assets. While global fiat inflation is viewed as bullish for crypto, Sit learned from his meeting with Jones that inflation is rampant in the digital asset space itself. The advent of Dogecoin and the Shiba Inu token demonstrates the inflationary nature of crypto as many new tokens come online with multiple tokens idolizing the same breed of dog. In addition, Sit gives us his outlook for 2022 and explains why we may see some volatility in the months ahead. Recorded on December 7, 2021.Watch the full interview here
