#190: The Coming Neobank Shakeout? with Olivia Vande Woude of Ava Labs

Dela

Olivia Vande Woude is Tokenization Lead at Ava Labs. She joins host Aaron Stanley at Bitso's Stablecoin Conference in Mexico City to discuss why distribution, not issuance, is the hardest problem left to solve in tokenized real world assets.

We talk through Open Trade's B2B2C stablecoin yield model gaining traction across LATAM and APAC, a coming wave of consolidation among crypto neobanks and card issuers, and why real utility metrics matter more than vanity numbers
