Phillips's overarching thesis is bridging the on-chain and off-chain worlds, primarily through market infrastructure — the 'unsexy backbone' of stablecoins, settlement rails, custody, tokenization, and institutional plumbing that lets traditional capital flow into and through crypto. She is bullish on regulated stablecoins paired with cross-border payments, on Bitcoin-native DeFi unlocking yield for BTC holders, and on AI agents becoming first-class economic actors on-chain (including as buyers of NFTs and other digital assets). Within Hivemind's '9 themes for 2025' framework, her work spans stablecoins, derivatives infrastructure, app-chain L1/L2 dynamics, and the broader institutionalization of crypto. Her framing is institutional and risk-aware — Hivemind explicitly pairs crypto-native expertise with institutional-grade risk management.
