Our podcast feels like having a coffee with the people shaping the future of blockchain and crypto regulation throughout the world. We’re curious, we ask bold questions, and we keep the conversation clear and real.
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
We consider the next phase of US crypto regulation after the CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate. Norma Krayem of Van Scoyoc Associates, Peter Freeman of FS Vector, and Lee Schneider of Ava Labs follow the practical choices now facing lawmakers and agencies, from rule-making timelines to narrower proposals on software developers and tax treatment. Tune in to hear why new rules could help move policy forward while also changing the terms of the next congressional negotiation. 🎧 Listen in Spotify and Apple Music
