The latest Talking Tokens podcast 🎙️

For today’s Talking Tokens episode, we’re sharing the last interview I did on stage at Korea Blockchain Week. (It took us a little while to get the footage back, sorry it was so delayed!)

I sat down with Diogo Mónica, general partner at Haun Ventures, executive chairman and co-founder of Anchorage Digital, and chairman of the NEAR Foundation.

Diogo shares how these roles intersect from managing billions in digital assets at Anchorage to backing early-stage founders at Haun Ventures and helping NEAR drive developer adoption. We discuss the next era of crypto use cases beyond trading, including stablecoins, tokenized equities, and “generative finance,” where AI creates tailored financial products in seconds.

He explains how stablecoins reached global product-market fit in the Global South, why the Genius Act mattered, and how tokenization can reshape capital markets through onchain IPOs. Diogo also shares his view on regulation, crypto neobanks, and the intersection of AI and DeFi.

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