BlockBeats news, July 18: Hyperliquid co-founder Jeff Yan recently stated on the VALR podcast that one of the biggest challenges facing the current cryptocurrency and fintech industries is the failure to attract enough top-tier entrepreneurial talent.
Jeff Yan believes that, under the influence of the AI boom and social prestige, many of the most talented young people are unclear about which fields will create the greatest value, so few choose to enter the crypto industry.
He said that rebuilding the financial system from first principles and transforming academic theories into scalable market designs is a profoundly meaningful endeavor, and he urged young entrepreneurs not to focus solely on the surface value of things, but to address the real challenges facing the world and engage in the development and innovation of on-chain finance.
