In this episode, we explore the strategic convergence of traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), enabled by the Google Cloud Universal Ledger (GCUL). This neutral infrastructure provides the foundation for global transactions, trusted by institutions that refuse to rely on competitors’ rails. Discover how Python emerges as the hidden catalyst, allowing quants and financial engineers to reuse existing skills, tools, and workflows to build the future of finance. From institutional adoption to Web3 innovation, this episode reveals how GCUL could become the backbone of a truly global financial ecosystem.
