From Policy to Payments: Why Institutions Can’t Wait Any Longer (Ft. Brett Tejpaul, Coinbase Institutional)
Institutional adoption has entered a new phase, driven by regulation, stablecoins, and emerging public market vehicles. The foundation is being built in real time, and institutions that don’t move now risk getting left behind.
In this episode of Total Value Unlocked, Matt Zhang speaks with Brett Tejpaul, Head of Coinbase Institutional, about the structural shifts transforming how large allocators and corporates enter the crypto economy.
They discuss:
- How regulatory clarity and the legalization of stablecoins are accelerating participation
- The three pillars of Coinbase Institutional and where the next phase of growth is headed
- Why payments and tokenization are the real disruptors for banks and financial institutions
- How AVAX One, a Digital Asset Treasury (DAT), is bridging traditional capital into blockchain markets
