In this episode of Crypto Clarified, Dovile Silenskyte and Vinh Tran speak with Caroline Pringle, co-founder of Natural Prosperity, about a new approach to connecting biodiversity, natural capital and blockchain technology.

Caroline explains the challenges she sees in existing natural capital markets and why she believes biodiversity needs a more standardised way of measuring and recognising value. We explore Natural Prosperity's proposed model, where investors fund projects designed to deliver measurable improvements in biodiversity and verified uplift could ultimately support the issuance of a digital currency.

Staking plays a fundamental role in how Ethereum works. But what happens when those same assets can be used to support more than one function across the network?

In this episode of Crypto Clarified, Dovile Silenskyte and Vinh Tran speak with Amir Forouzani, co-founder and CEO of Puffer Finance, about staking, liquid staking, restaking and the infrastructure being built around Ethereum.

The conversation starts with the fundamentals, from why validators matter to how proof of stake helps secure the network, before exploring how liquid staking can make staked assets more accessible and flexible. Amir then explains the concept of restaking, where validators can take on additional responsibilities in return for additional rewards, alongside additional risks.

In this episode of Crypto Clarified, we speak with Stani Kulechov, Founder and CEO of Aave, about the evolution of decentralised finance and his vision for the future of on-chain finance.

From Aave's beginnings in crypto-native lending to the growing role of tokenised real-world assets, we explore how DeFi is evolving and why bringing assets on-chain may only be the first step. The conversation looks at how lending and credit markets can give those assets greater utility, why 24/7 markets and instant settlement matter, and how Aave V4 is being built to support a much broader range of financial use cases.

We also discuss institutional adoption, the importance of resilience and risk management, and how DeFi could help finance everything from traditional securities to the infrastructure underpinning AI, robotics and renewable energy.

Tokenisation is gaining momentum. But bringing assets on-chain is only part of the story.

In this episode of Crypto Clarified, we speak with A.J. Warner, Chief Strategy Officer at Offchain about the infrastructure powering the next generation of financial markets. From Layer 2 scaling with the Arbitrum platform and tokenised assets to the programmable economy, we explore what needs to be built before tokenised finance can truly scale.

The conversation examines why blockchain infrastructure matters, how Layer 2 networks are transforming Ethereum, and what it takes to create a sustainable foundation for tokenised finance. We also discuss programmability, composability, on-chain business models, and why the future of financial markets may depend on the infrastructure being built today.

In this episode of Crypto Clarified, we speak with Tanner Taddeo from Stable Sea about why businesses are increasingly adopting stablecoins. The conversation explores cross-border payments, treasury management, tokenized money market funds and how blockchain is helping companies access faster, more efficient financial services.

We discuss how stablecoins can improve capital efficiency, why corporate treasury is emerging as a major adoption driver, and how businesses are beginning to access financial products that were once reserved for the largest institutions. The episode also explores AI, enterprise adoption and why the future of stablecoins may be built around solving practical business problems rather than simply enabling crypto transactions.

In this episode of Crypto Clarified, we speak with Oscar Riegler from Black Manta Capital Partners about how tokenized securities are evolving beyond the hype. From money market funds and real estate to tokenized infrastructure and regulated trading venues, the conversation explores how blockchain is changing the way capital markets operate.

We discuss why regulation is becoming a catalyst rather than a barrier, how tokenization can improve access to financial markets, and why infrastructure is the key to broader adoption. The episode also explores digital identity, interoperability, the Canton Network and what the future of tokenized capital markets could look like.

In this episode of Crypto Clarified, we explore how blockchain is moving beyond digital assets and becoming part of everyday infrastructure. From payments and digital identity to AI agents and tokenised assets, the discussion examines how blockchain can power real-world applications while remaining largely invisible to the end user.

We discuss Cardano's approach to real-world adoption, why interoperability and digital identity are becoming increasingly important, and how tokenisation is evolving beyond the initial hype. The conversation also explores AI, governance, enterprise adoption and why blockchain's long-term success may ultimately depend on solving real-world problems rather than simply building new technology.

Stablecoins have become one of the fastest-growing areas of digital assets. But how do you know if a stablecoin is actually safe?

In this episode of Crypto Clarified, we speak with Benjamin Levit, co-founder of Bluechip, a stablecoin rating agency focused on assessing the risks, governance structures and resilience of stablecoin issuers. The conversation explores how stablecoins are evaluated, what can cause them to fail, and why transparency is becoming increasingly important as adoption accelerates.

We discuss the lessons from Terra Luna, the evolution of stablecoin regulation, the role of ratings in helping users assess risk, and why tokenised assets, AI agents and institutional adoption could drive the next phase of stablecoin growth. The episode also examines how banks are approaching stablecoins and what a future financial system built on blockchain infrastructure could look like.

What actually powers crypto behind the scenes?In this episode of Crypto Clarified, we look under the hood of crypto infrastructure and explore the systems that enable smart contracts, DeFi and tokenisation to function at scale. From decentralised oracles and staking to tokenised assets and institutional adoption, the conversation looks at the invisible layers connecting blockchains to the real world.

What powers crypto behind the scenes?

In this episode of Crypto Clarified, Vinh and Dovile sit down with Joe Lau, co-founder and President of Alchemy, the infrastructure layer behind some of the biggest players in digital assets.

Often described as the “AWS of crypto,” Alchemy enables companies to build and scale blockchain applications without handling the underlying complexity.

In this episode, we explore what crypto infrastructure actually is and why it matters, alongside the rapid rise of stablecoins and tokenised assets. The conversation also looks ahead to how AI agents could transform payments and commerce, and why developer experience may be the key to unlocking broader adoption.
