A new outfit called the Superstate Industry Council is pledging to make blockchain-based trading of U.S. Treasuries a possibility. The council is anchored by Superstate, a startup founded by Robert Leshner, a one-time bond guy who launched the successful DeFi platform known as Compound. Other members include around 20 established names in crypto, including Uniswap and Coinfund, and a handful of yet-to-be-named firms from the traditional banking sector.
