Aptos New CEO Shares 2025 Outlook

Welcome back to Talking Tokens.

If we were all cats, I think crypto people would have lived through all nine lives over the past few days after Trump launched his own memecoin on Friday night - and so did his wife Melania on Sunday afternoon. The markets reacted, insanely, to say the least.

Now, Trump has been sworn in as the first pro-crypto US president, so we are in for an eventful next four years (to say the least.) TBD on what happens from here.

The latest Talking Tokens podcast 🎙️

For this week’s Tuesday episode, I spoke with Avery Ching, the co-founder and CEO of Aptos Labs.

This episode is a part of the quarterly webinars that Token Relations does with Aptos - so it was fun to catch up again, a few months after we last spoke in Seoul during Aptos Experience. 

We discuss what Avery hopes to accomplish in his first year as CEO, ecosystem growth for the network in 2025, DeFi opportunities onchain, his long term Aptos outlook and more.

Talking Tokens episodes are released on Spotify and Apple Podcasts at 6AM EST or YouTube at 8AM EST every Tuesday and Thursday. Listen in!
