Crypto Clarified: Investing in the Truth

Crypto isn’t just about tokens and hype, it’s about access. In this episode of Crypto Clarified, hosts Vinh Tran and Dovile Silenskyte speak with Raja Chakravorti, Chief Business Officer at the Stellar Development Foundation, about how Stellar is building open financial infrastructure to serve both emerging markets and global institutions. From humanitarian aid and cross-border payments to tokenized money market funds, wallet infrastructure, and privacy for institutions, this episode explores what it means to move beyond TVL and build velocity into the digital asset ecosystem.

Bitcoin is powerful—but can it reach everyday users? In this episode of Crypto Clarified, host Benjamin Dean speaks with Akin Fernandez, founder of Azteco, about the philosophical and technical roots of Bitcoin, and the critical need to simplify access for the next billion users. They explore the lessons of VHS vs. Betamax, why user experience beats ideology, and how Azteco is helping Bitcoin transition from “money for nerds” to a global payment network. Plus, they unpack the legacy of the cypherpunks, why software is speech, and what the future of hyperbitcoinization could actually look like.
