Nic Roberts-Huntley is the CEO and Co-Founder of Blueprint Finance, leveraging his unique background spanning medicine, economics, and finance. A former surgeon who practiced at prestigious institutions, including Oxford University Hospitals and The Royal Marsden, Nic pivoted to finance after completing his MBA and Master's in Evidence-Based Policy Evaluation & Economics at Oxford University. His career trajectory includes roles as Vice President at Point72, Venture Architect at Virtual Ventures, and various surgical fellowships.

At Blueprint Finance, Nic oversees two innovative protocols: Concrete, which provides institutional-grade financial services through its Earn, Borrow, and Protect products that optimize yields and offer liquidation protection; and Glow, a Solana-based protocol offering advanced trading, lending, and liquid restaking solutions. His multidisciplinary expertise and quantitative approach position him as a distinctive voice at the intersection of traditional finance and DeFi innovation.

In this conversation, we discuss:

• Institutional yield generation becomes crypto’s next major unlock 

• Nic’s career path: surgeon to trad-fi to crypto 

• M&A in digital asset markets accelerates 

• DeFi grows up from speculation to infrastructure 

• Crypto vaults 

• Delta-neutral trading strategies in vaults 

• Nic’s critique of “chasing headline APY” 

• DeFi’s Next Frontier: Credit, Tokenization & New Markets 

• Insurance will unlock the next frontier of crypto 

• On-chain credit markets 

• Composability across DeFi
