Charles Hoskinson and Ding X on Predict.Fun, privacy and building in public

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.
