In the episode I spoke with Andrea Frosinini, a trade finance advisor and he is also on the advisory board of TOTTA (Trans-Oceanic Trade Tech Alliance) and the Blockchain Supply Chain Association.

He is the intersection of blockchain, international trade, trade finance and my favorite subject - emerging markets.

We talked about how blockchain can revolutionize international trade and supply chain, making trade and trade finance more inclusive for businesses in developing countries.

Also, we discussed the challenges for changing the mindset of traditional financial institutions and why Andrea thinks that cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, will cause a bigger impact in emerging markets.

Here is an episode for you that wants to know more about tokenization and digital assets. 

This is my chat with Claus Skaaning the co-founder of Danish company Digishares, that provides tokenization services ranging from Real state to equity and funds. We talked about how the Nordic countries a little behind in the global tokenization ecosystem and the reasons behind it.

Plus, we talked about the Blockchain ecosystem in the Nordics and why Claus thinks that despite few successful blockchain companies, Nordic blockchain startups are still very few and far apart.
