Today’s guest Aishwary Gupta (head of payments, exchanges, RWAs; head of BD for India at Polygon Labs; previously American Express... you get the gist, he's legit) unpacks how Polygon is continuing the work to lead the onchain payment movement, make global inroads to consumers and institutions, and make it all as easy as using a credit card... without the extraction. He also compares Polygon's approach to other chains (Ripple, Stellar) and previews where they're headed next. As far as interviews go, this one's a banger ("... Correct.")

Plus, we answer your questions about staking (is it ok to do from a cold wallet?); share job opportunities in crypto; and go deeper on the Polymarket/X partnership by exploring why prediction markets like Polymarket matter (and how to participate).

Tomorrow, the "Powered by Polygon" goodness continues as we welcome FSL (Stepn, Gas Hero) and Katana to the show!
