Crypto just got its Biggest use Case!

In this episode of the AllInCrypto Podcast we speak with Malcolm Clarke, Head of Digital Assets at Western Union, about how one of the world’s biggest payment companies is approaching stablecoins, blockchain infrastructure, and the future of cross-border money movement. We explore how Western Union is building around its USD payment token, why stablecoins can unlock major savings in treasury and pre-funding, and how the company is thinking about agent liquidity, digital asset off-ramps, StableCard, DeFi, and Solana. Malcolm also explains why stablecoins are about more than speed and efficiency. In many parts of the world, they could become a real financial lifeline by giving people access to a more stable store of value and better payment rails.

The role of AI agents in the future of crypto

What if the next wave of crypto adoption doesn’t come from humans but from AI agents? In this episode, we sit down with Yat Siu, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Animoca Brands, to explore why crypto is far bigger than speculation, why digital ownership matters, and how AI agents, stablecoins, identity, gaming, and Web3 are all colliding into something much bigger. We cover why NFTs were never just about hype, how gaming could become one of the biggest drivers of the digital economy, why stablecoins may outperform CBDCs, why Europe risks falling behind, and why Yat believes Web4 cannot exist without Web3. This is one of the most important conversations we’ve had on where crypto, AI, and the internet are heading next.

What if You Owned a Piece of The Internet

In this episode of the AllInCrypto podcast, we sit down with Sandy Kaul, Head of Innovation at Franklin Templeton, to explore why crypto may become the foundation of the next global financial system. Sandy shares how her journey from commodities and institutional finance led her into blockchain, why she views crypto assets as global commodities, and how tokenized networks could reshape the way value moves across the world. We also discuss why legacy finance is struggling to keep up, how AI agents could accelerate crypto adoption, why tokenized securities may be one of the biggest catalysts ahead, and why Bitcoin could become even more important in a world shaped by rising geopolitical uncertainty. This is a big-picture conversation on the future of money, ownership, infrastructure, and what a truly 24/7 financial system could look like.

We sit down with Diego Gutiérrez Zaldívar, CEO and Co-Founder of Rootstock Labs, for a wide-ranging conversation on Bitcoin, financial freedom, Latin America, and where the global monetary system may be heading next. Diego shares how Argentina’s repeated currency crises shaped his understanding of money, why Bitcoin first clicked for him as a tool for freedom rather than speculation, and how that conviction led him to spend more than a decade building in the Bitcoin ecosystem. We explore Bitcoin as digital gold, Bitcoin as financial infrastructure, Argentina’s lessons for the rest of the world, stablecoins, self-custody, Layer 2s, Rootstock, fiat debt, geopolitical instability, and why Bitcoin may become a vital neutral layer in a more fragmented global system. This is a conversation about money, sovereignty, optionality, global trade, and why Bitcoin could matter far more in the years ahead than most people realise. Topics covered: • Diego’s Bitcoin journey and Argentina’s financial history • Why Bitcoin is a tool for freedom • The real lessons of inflation, capital controls, and currency collapse • Why most people arrive for the money but stay for the ideas • Bitcoin as store of value vs Bitcoin as infrastructure • Layer 2s, Rootstock, and scaling Bitcoin • Stablecoins, privacy, and the future of digital money • Geopolitics, global instability, and the case for neutral money • Fiat debt, financial fragility, and the need for alternatives • Why Bitcoin may anchor the future financial system

Why Crypto Becomes Essential When the World Gets Unstable

In this episode of the AllInCrypto podcast, Rupert sits down with George McDonough, Co-Founder and Managing Director of KR1, to explore how crypto has evolved from an outsider movement into a technology that could reshape money, markets, and the future of finance. George shares his journey from discovering Bitcoin in 2011 to building KR1 in the earliest days of the industry, before diving into where the space is today: stablecoins, tokenized finance, Ethereum, institutional adoption, self-custody, and why crypto may become most useful when trust in traditional systems starts to crack. They also discuss the current geopolitical backdrop, including Iran, oil, inflation, market uncertainty, and why Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins can act as an alternative system when the world becomes more unstable. This is a wide-ranging conversation on macro, decentralization, DeFi, token design, institutional capital, and why crypto may ultimately be far bigger than most people still realize.

The Dark Side of Crypto

Ari brings a unique perspective to the conversation. Before joining TRM Labs, he spent over a decade as a U.S. federal prosecutor working on terrorism finance, national security, sanctions, and financial crime cases, before moving to the U.S. Treasury and later into crypto. We discuss why illicit crypto activity reached record highs in 2025, why that headline does not tell the full story, how Russia, Iran, North Korea and organized criminal networks are using crypto infrastructure, and why Ari believes blockchains are also one of the most powerful tools ever created for investigators.

Crypto Is Rebuilding Finance With CEO of R3

n this episode of the AllInCrypto Podcast, Rupert Pickering sits down with Richard Brown, CEO of R3, to explore one of the biggest shifts happening in crypto and global finance today: the move from private enterprise blockchains to public blockchain infrastructure. Richard explains how R3 originally built Corda to solve reconciliation and data-sharing problems inside traditional finance, why that model could only go so far, and why R3 is now pushing toward public chains, tokenized real world assets, institutional DeFi, and Solana. They break down why RWAs have not yet gone from $10 billion to $1 trillion, why the issue is more about product design than demand, how yield, liquidity, accessibility and DeFi composability matter, and why R3 believes the future of new issuance is increasingly permissionless. The conversation also covers privacy on-chain, public vs private chains, interoperability, why Solana was chosen, and Richard’s thoughts on CBDCs, stablecoins, and the future of money. If you want to understand where institutional crypto is really heading, this is a must-watch.
