Why Aerodrome Thinks It Can Take On Wall Street's Biggest Exchanges

Could decentralized exchanges really challenge the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq? Dromos Labs CEO Alexander Cutler joined Coinage to explain why it's happening — and why Aero is getting a boost as Base's leading DEX expands to Ethereum mainnet and beyond. Cutler is betting that the next wave of crypto adoption won't just be about memecoins or speculation. It will be about bringing trillions of dollars in traditional financial assets on-chain. In this episode of Coinage, host Zack Guzman sits down with Cutler to discuss the launch of Aero, the growing rivalry between Coinbase and Robinhood, and why decentralized exchanges could become the backbone of a new global financial system. Cutler explains why Aerodrome believes it can capture a much larger share of crypto trading, how tokenized stocks and foreign exchange markets are changing DeFi, and why he thinks the industry's obsession with token buybacks may be overlooking a better way to reward investors. Plus, how does Aerodrome plan to compete with Uniswap and follow in the footsteps of Hyperliquid's success?
