🩵 Special episode today with Hassan Ahmed, Country Director and CEO of Coinbase Singapore.

With an impressive background coming from roles at Merrill Lynch Wealth Management (VP Strategy) & Venmo (Head of Business Operations), to eToro USA (launched their regulated crypto trading platform in the US); Hassan then ran GoTo Group (dual role as CEO of Coins.ph in the Philippines and SVP Strategy for GoPay Indonesia), before becoming Country Director/CEO of Coinbase Singapore - leading Southeast Asia operations since April 2021, Hassan has quite the rap sheet!

We'll be talking stablecoins, tokenization, agentic payments and what it looks like when crypto infrastructure moves from framework to execution!

This is a jam-packed episode. Let's get into it 🚀
