What happens when a self-proclaimed geek, a former intelligence officer, and a fintech disruptor walks into a podcast? You get Ran Goldi, the man behind Fireblocks, a company that powers 15-20% of all blockchain transactions globally.

In this no-holds-barred episode of Everything is Fintech, we cut through the fluff to talk about:

• Why most banks and fintechs still don’t have a clue about stablecoins (and why they need to get their act together).
• The wild origin story of Fireblocks, from hacking prevention to moving trillions securely.
• How AI and blockchain are colliding to create opportunities (and chaos) in fintech.
• The paranoia-fueled strategies that keep Fireblocks ahead of 85 competitors.

Hit play to find out why Goldi thinks the future of finance is already here, and why most of us are still playing catch-up.
