In this episode of Crypto Cast, host James Burnie is joined by Tobias Van Amstel, Founder and CEO of Altitude, a DeFi protocol platform that unifies established DeFi lending rails to make borrowing more efficient. Tobias founded Altitude to create a platform that focuses on simplicity, automation, and solving real user problems whilst removing unnecessary complexity. Tobias’ own use of DeFi, experience in building successful web 2 technology companies, and his user-first approach has helped to shape Altitude into creating a DeFi platform like no other. James and Tobias discuss the difference between CeFi and DeFi, the latest from the FCA and the role of AI – how much control can we really give an AI agent? The conversation also looks at how DeFi’s transparency and smart contract infrastructure are reshaping how lending works, and what the next phase of growth in the sector could look like.
