The DeFi Mullet: Why the Future of Fintech Has DeFi in the Back
Fintechs are sleek on the surface but still rely on outdated, costly traditional infrastructure. Enter the DeFi mullet—fintech in the front, decentralized finance (DeFi) in the back. By merging DeFi’s fast, low-cost, always-on infrastructure with fintech’s polished user experience, companies can unlock scalable, transparent, and innovative financial services. From instant stablecoin transfers to onchain lending, DeFi empowers fintechs with control, flexibility, and access to global liquidity—without disrupting user familiarity. As regulation evolves and major institutions move onchain, integrating DeFi isn’t just a tech upgrade—it’s a strategic necessity. The future of finance is hybrid, and the mullet is here to stay.
Trump Turns Up the Heat on Big Pharma: Drug Prices, Tariffs, and Onshoring in Focus
The Trump administration is intensifying its push to lower drug prices and bring pharmaceutical manufacturing back to the U.S. without directly setting price caps. Special adviser Calley Means emphasized aligning U.S. drug prices with those in Europe and condemned pharma giants like Roche for threatening to withdraw investment. A new executive order, the "Most Favored Nation" policy, aims to ensure Americans pay no more than other wealthy nations for medications. Amid rising tariffs and industry pressure, companies like Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly, and AstraZeneca have pledged billions to onshore operations, but tensions are mounting as Trump refuses to back down.
