323. The grown up side of crypto: how JP Morgan, Visa and Mastercard are using blockchain to reshape global finance

Dela

Crypto has grown up.

It's now no longer just about overnight millionaires and meme coins. It is now how the largest corporations do business. 

JP Morgan has processed over $5 trillion through its blockchain division, even though Jamie Dimon famously hated crypto a decade ago. Visa, Mastercard, Fidelity and BNY Mellon are all in now too.

This episode is about the grown up side of crypto — where nobody goes to jail or becomes a millionaire overnight — and why it matters to you as a business leader even if you have no intention of buying a single coin.

Listen to learn:

  • Why JP Morgan, which famously hated crypto, now has three major blockchain divisions handling over $5 trillion in transactions
  • The difference between the silly end of crypto and the serious end — and why the serious end is reshaping global finance
  • What tokenisation actually means in plain English — and why major asset managers are paying attention
  • How corporates are using blockchain to make international payments faster, cheaper and more reliable
  • What size of company should be thinking about this — and the specific use cases worth exploring now

This episode is for you if:

  • You are a business leader who wants to understand what crypto actually means for your industry — beyond the headlines
  • You work in finance, treasury or payments and want to understand what is coming
  • You are a founder or investor who wants to know where the serious institutional money is going
