Thibault Dubuis

Product Lead Staking & DeFi, Sygnum Bank

Protocol-native product leader with 13 years spanning blockchain infrastructure, TradFi, and venture building. Deep hands-on command of staking economics, DeFi lending mechanics, (re)staking, MEV and tokenomics.

I nerd out on understanding L1's consensus mechanism and DeFi protocols. At Sygnum I'm in charge of building Staking & Yield products.

My edge is translating deep protocol mechanics into products that move capital on-chain at scale - whether for banks building crypto rails, funds seeking on-chain yield, or protocols designing incentives architectures and ecosystem growth strategies.

From Float to Yield: How Banks can Integrate Defi and Offer Stablecoin Yield Safely - Powered by Fireblocks

Technology and client demand are converging: banks can deploy stablecoin deposits into pooled, KYC'd, RWA-collateralised lending venues today. What's missing is the regulatory scaffolding — the economic model is novel, prudential treatment is undefined, and supervision hasn't caught up.

Two implementation choices would create uncontested ground: separate institutional DeFi from retail/permissionless DeFi, and separate it from tokenised repo. From there, regulators should recognise an asymmetric permissioning model (permissioned borrowers, permissionless suppliers) and define the prudential treatment of bank-held positions in tokenised credit venues.
