Tokens and Perps. This is becoming part of the brokerages globally.
We have seen prediction markets implemented in every brokerage. Now, perpetual futures and tokenized stocks/assets are the trend. $HOOD ( ▲ 2.75% ) announced a lot of these capabilities, and this has been a trend outside the US for many months.
The team at Alpaca.Markets, which is a Social Leverage Fund III company, has a great video with Arush Sehgal, who is the Head of Digital Assets at Alpaca. You can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/live/BuiqXPm8NWI
My takeaways:
Instant Tokenization Network, which is one of their products, allows for creating and redeeming tokens with the underlying shares in real time. This is possible because they are the infrastructure and pipes powering brokerages globally. We read a lot about tokenization of stocks, and Alpaca is the backbone of this trend.
Perpetual Futures- they are going to eat the lunch of the CFD market. Price exposure via perps is the best way. Price to operate perps is so much less. Most of the $SPCX ( ▼ 0.18% ) volume has been in perps.
The traditional IPO process is broken, and $SPCX ( ▼ 0.18% ) IPO showed all the issues. It’s an insider offering to get shares. Kraken for example having issues getting shares.
Alpaca.Markets are the backbone infrastructure for all of these exciting financial products. The Degenerate Economy theme is playing out, and the ability to trade everything and anything 24/7 is becoming possible everywhere.
35% of leads come in after 5PM.
If you don't respond within 5 minutes of a call, conversion drops 80%.
By morning, they've already called someone else.
The businesses closing that gap are seeing real results.
Air Texas booked a $20K job from their very first after-hours call and canceled their $2,000/month answering service.
Premier Heating & Air cut response time from 12 minutes to 1 and tripled lead conversion.
Air Design ran 187 membership jobs through automated outreach and generated $24K with zero manual work.
That's what happens when every call gets answered, every lead gets followed up, and every membership gets worked, automatically.
