In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Josh Frank, CEO and founder of The Tie, joins from the Out East Summit to explain how he built one of crypto’s most connected institutional data and events businesses. He breaks down why most crypto conferences fail, why curated relationship-driven events matter, and how The Tie has expanded from a crypto data terminal into events, staking, yield data, and institutional protocol services.

The conversation covers The Tie’s acquisitions plus how those businesses help protocols connect with institutions and bring better yield opportunities to users.
