Sopnendu Mohanty, Chief FinTech Officer of MAS and Chairman of Elevandi Board, is a huge proponent of blockchain technology at both a nation-state level and for consumers. He regularly liaises with key leaders across the world about the rollout of CBDCs and other major Fintech initiatives. Indeed, he is Raoul’s go-to person to understand the really big picture. Sopnendu remains excited about many of the big opportunities in the space (especially what is happening in India), but he believes that the fallout in the crypto market has been a huge setback and government support of non-utility/monetary tokens such as bitcoin has evaporated. If you want to understand what is happening in the crypto market at a global policy-maker level, then this interview is both fascinating and vital. Recorded on January 23, 2023.
