In a recent interview with Matt Miller on Bloomberg TV, Metafide CEO Frank Speiser shared his views on former President Donald Trump’s surprising entry into the crypto space, the evolution of the crypto industry, and Bitcoin’s role as a long-term asset.

Speiser began by discussing Trump’s recently announced DeFi project, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), which he speculated involves a flash loan protocol designed to settle transactions within a blockchain block. According to Speiser, the project likely focuses on the adoption of stable tokens to facilitate transaction settlements across potentially different asset classes and exchanges.

But Speiser believes Trump’s motivation for diving into crypto goes beyond technology. He suggested that Trump’s personal experiences with censorship and financial control may have piqued his interest in crypto. As Speiser explained, Trump likely sees cryptocurrency as a way to resist centralized financial systems, saying, “If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone.” Speiser emphasized that Trump now recognizes crypto’s power to protect economic freedom and resist censorship, which aligns with the libertarian ethos of the cryptocurrency movement.

Speiser identified a broader shift occurring in the crypto industry, which he described as “the dawn of a new era.” According to Speiser, the industry is moving beyond the adolescent phase of meme tokens and speculative investments. The focus is now shifting to building serious financial infrastructure and real-world asset tokenization.

While Trump’s crypto plans are generating buzz, Speiser noted that the real conversation among executives at the Token 2049 conference in Singapore was about financial innovation. He emphasized that the sector is now maturing, with more emphasis on real-world applications of blockchain and cryptocurrency, such as decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions and stable token adoption.

While Trump’s crypto project has garnered attention, Speiser didn’t directly connect it to Bitcoin. Instead, he spoke more broadly about Bitcoin’s role in the financial system. He noted that Bitcoin is no longer viewed as a transactional currency as it was in its early days. Instead, Bitcoin has become an asset to be held because of its fixed supply and potential for its value to increase over time.

Speiser explained that Bitcoin is now seen as a store of value in an increasingly inflationary world. “When Bitcoin does what it’s supposed to do, the price continues to go up,” he said, emphasizing how Bitcoin’s fixed supply contrasts with the bloated supply of fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar.

Speiser also shared insights into his company, Metafide, which focuses on integrating human sensibility into financial models. Metafide allows people involved in financial systems to provide their opinions, which are then incorporated into models that predict asset prices, including cryptocurrencies. Metafide aims to create a more comprehensive view of market dynamics by blending human intuition with advanced AI-driven models.

While Metafide does not trade Bitcoin directly, the company’s models help hedge fund clients make more informed decisions in the crypto space by considering both.
