About this episode

Olta Andoni (General Counsel at Enclave Markets) spoke with Donna Redel (professor of blockchain and digital assets at Wharton) and Thibault Schrepel (professor of law at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) on the growing interest from students in US and in Europe on Web3 technologies, and on how universities have been weaving new courses into their curricula.

Our wise owls also discussed how furthering education can unlock new job opportunities within the industry, and help policymakers from both sides of the Atlantic work together to develop global, comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto.

Ep 72: Digital Assets in Africa - Heterogeneity and Opportunity

Jannah Patchay (Markets Evolution) and Kofi Genfi (Volta Digital Assets) unpack how digital assets are reshaping financial infrastructure across African markets. From stablecoins and cross-border payments to tokenized assets, DeFi, and regulatory coordination, they examine where blockchain is solving real market-access problems and creating new connections to global capital. The conversation also tackles monetary sovereignty, the diversity of regulatory approaches across the continent, and what it will take for locally relevant digital-asset markets to scale. Africa offers a compelling case study for what happens when digital finance is built around utility, access, and real economic need. 🎧 Listen in Spotify and Apple Music
