We’re back this week with another interesting episode for you. My guest is the COO of Crypto.com - the world's fastest-growing crypto app – Eric Anziani, and he brings a fascinating perspective on all things crypto, Web 3.0 and DeFi. In this episode, we discuss the adoption rate of cryptocurrencies, the need for more regulations, the difference between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0, and the environmental impact of trading cryptocurrencies. Eric also shares his thoughts on how DeFi can revolutionise people's lives by putting equitability at the forefront. As a growing organisation that is on track to reach 100 million customers in the next year, Eric gives us a glimpse into how Crypto.com plans to leapfrog its way to becoming an integral part of the global economy.   Notes 01:20 Eric’s background 02:23 Eric’s first experiences with cryptocurrency 05:50 How Eric got involved in crypto.com 07:55 How to choose the right exchange 10:18 Crypto regulations 14:10 Dubai embracing crypto 15:32 The crypto “Talent Wars” 18:09 WFH for a growing startup 19:30 About the crypto.com team 20:16 Number of customers 21:39 The vision of crypto.com 24:55 How companies can utilise NFTs 31:17 Crypto.com’s NFT platform 33:39 Gaming 35:10 Web 3.0 36:00 Funding crypto.com 39:22 Building the crypto.com brand 44:58 CO2 impact of cryptocurrencies 49:36 Expansion plans for crypto.com 53:40 Crypto.com’s philanthropic plans   Show Sponsors: Smartkas: Providing food security as a service Arabian Business: The region’s leading source of business news, analytics, thought-leadership and features.
