After gaining tech and product skills at Google in Tokyo, Arisa Toyosaki co-founded Cega, a DeFi protocol focused on structured investment products in 2021. Rather than creating a full-fledged options exchange, Cega targets retail investors with structured products that are less risky and user-friendly.
In this Blockcast episode, Toyosaki explains how Cega offers exotic options that cover market fluctuations up to 90% and educates users through detailed documentation and various media
Toyosaki also discusses how retail and institutional trading has evolved, with more retail interest in meme coins and perpetuals, institutional adoption, and developments in Japan’s crypto landscape.
The Japanese native also reflects on how the upcoming US election will impact the local crypto scene more than Japan's election and how "Mrs. Watanabe" retail traders can transition into crypto trading if they receive support through education and improved tax policies.

🎙️ Hey there, Blockcast listeners! 🎙️
Before you dive deep into the crypto chaos, here's a little heads-up from your pals at Blockhead. While we love unraveling the blockchain tapestry and sharing our findings, remember, our chats are just that—chats. They're not financial blueprints or crystal balls. So, whether you're a crypto veteran or just dipping your toes, always do your own research and consult with a pro before making any financial moves. After all, in the world of crypto, it's always best to take things with a pinch of satoshi... or salt. Dive in responsibly! 🚀🧂
