ABOUT
In this interview from CoinDesk Live at Consensus Hong Kong, Input Output Founder and CEO, and Cardano creator Charles Hoskinson sits down with Ding X, the former-anonymous founder of PancakeSwap, to discuss the intersection of DeFi, NFTs, and the future of prediction markets. Ding, who recently went public after a decade of building in the shadows, shares the reality of transitioning from a pseudonymous whale to a public-facing CEO. The two dive into why the NFT ecosystem shifted toward meme coins and how Ding’s new project, Predict.fun, is re-architecting prediction markets by turning wagers into yield-bearing NFTs.
