The UK’s ambitions to be the world’s crypto king I get it. Yet often that crown comes with a hefty price tag – particularly for those who are the least able to afford it. While headlines tout clarity and transparency, I can't help but wonder: who exactly benefits from this...
BlackRock’s crypto task force meeting with the SEC? Okay, so what? You may be inclined to dismiss this as yet another headline swallowed in the pernicious daily swamp of crypto hype. Take my word for it, the meeting on May 9, 2025 is going to be a watershed event. It...
Asset management behemoth and market force, BlackRock, recently met with the SEC’s Crypto Task Force. This isn’t just a public meeting, this is the proverbial chess move that could change the entire crypto landscape. Ideally, the final result is clarity. History teaches that this “clarity” often results in increased consolidation,...
Meanwhile, the UK is keen to position itself as the crypto king. We get it. A clear regulatory framework sounds fantastic. Investor protection? Absolutely. Let’s not confuse ambition with wisdom, or regulatory zeal with real progress. Are we building our own finance fortress? Or are we building a gilded cage...

I had the opportunity to meet Sari, a Balinese weaver, during a visit to a blockchain conference in Bangkok earlier this year. She was showcasing her intricate designs, each piece tokenized as an NFT, directly connecting her to buyers globally and bypassing exploitative middlemen. Sari’s story is not unique. From...
BlackRock in talks with the SEC to discuss the regulation of crypto? Sounds like a yawn-fest, right? Wrong. This isn't just another routine check-in. The stakes in this poker game are extremely high, with the future of digital assets at play. The devil is in the regulatory details.Tokenisation's Potential, Regulatory...
Coinbase is placing mammoth-sized bets on Europe, and France is ground zero for their strategy.
