About this episode

Our expert host, David M. Brear , is joined by some great guests to ask: 'What does good crypto design look like?'

It was recently announced that BlackRock, the world’s largest investment management company, is now offering clients direct access to crypto – starting with Bitcoin.

If anything demonstrates crypto’s move from the fringes to the mainstream, it’s the backing of one of the industy’s biggest players – but this also raises questions of how you present a decentralised product to a more mainstream audience.

Our panel runs through 'have crypto’s design issues held it back?', 'how do you present crypto products in a TradFi setting?' and 'what does the future look like?'

This week's guests include:

  • Chris Maddern, Co-Founder & CEO, Floor NFTs
  • Maya Caddle, Manager, Strategic Projects and Investments, Nestcoin
  • Rhian Lewis, Author, The Cryptocurrency Revolution
