Odaily Odaily Planet Daily News Hyperliquid co-founder Jeff Yan recently stated that one of the biggest issues currently facing the crypto industry and fintech sector is the failure to attract enough top entrepreneurial talent. Influenced by factors such as the AI boom and social prestige, many outstanding young people are unsure which fields to enter to create the greatest value, so very few choose the crypto industry. He stated that rebuilding the financial system from first principles and transforming academic theories into scalable market designs is meaningful work, and called on young entrepreneurs to focus on the world's real problems and participate in the development and innovation of on-chain finance.
