Bridging Tradition and Decentralization

“We should be able to dare criminals to use blockchain and cryptocurrency to conduct laundering. We should be able to dare them to launder on a public, unobscured ledger.” - Carole House

This is a powerful statement to start off one of the most anticipated episodes of the year with one of our national security experts at Chainalysis, Eitan Danon speaking with Former White House National Security Council Special Advisor, Carole House.

Carole provides her unique experience working on both sides of the biggest public private partnerships when it comes to emerging technology, crypto regulation, and national security.

Carole explains the critical need for robust public-private partnerships to address the challenges of cybercrime and illicit finance and the importance of accountability and transparent standards in enhancing blockchain trust and security globally.

They even found time to discuss promising intersections of artificial intelligence with blockchain, emphasizing AI's potential in scaling compliance and cybersecurity initiatives.
