COMING SOON – The Future Will Be Tokenised

Coming soon, we explore how tokenisation is set to revolutionise the global economy.

Joined by "friend of the pod" Marvin Barth of Seriously, Marvin? and Thematic Markets, we chat with digital assets specialists Dr Ian Hunt and Steve Whyman.  


We expose the "absurd" complexity and cost added by traditional intermediaries in the financial sector. Discover how blockchain technology acts as the ultimate disintermediator, democratising access to markets by allowing individuals to invest mere pence into equities, bonds, and private asset funds.


We dive into:

• The geopolitical impact of self-executing contracts, reducing reliance on traditional jurisdictions like the UK for global transactions.

• The rise of dollarised stablecoin economies in emerging markets such as Venezuela, Nigeria, and Argentina.

• Critical predictions regarding the potential "end of the European Union" and financial events that could make the Silicon Valley Bank collapse look minor by comparison.

Tune in to understand why financial markets designed for intermediation are facing a huge disruptive test.
