Join the Fight Against the Banks - https://www.change.org/p/stop-banks-from-banning-my-stablecoin-yields Paul sits down with Dom and Phil Kwok, the visionary founders of EasyA to break down the seismic shifts occurring at the intersection of blockchain, AI, and global finance.
Fresh from high-level meetings with government officials and appearances at the House of Lords, the Kwok brothers provide a "boots on the ground" perspective on the CLARITY Act and why 2026 is becoming the year of institutional execution. From the massive influx of interest in XRP ETFs to Mastercard’s aggressive move into on-chain payment rails, this conversation explores how digital assets are moving beyond speculation to become the backbone of the global financial reset.
