EP 352 - Is DeFi Changing Global Finance? - Paul Quickenden - Easy Crypto

The world of cryptocurrency is rapidly evolving, driven by a generational shift in how people approach wealth and investment. Traditional paths like real estate and stock markets are becoming less accessible, especially for younger generations, who are increasingly turning to alternative assets such as cryptocurrency, whiskey, and wine. Therefore, understanding the ongoing evolution of the crypto space in Asia is no longer optional—it’s essential.

In this episode of the Asia Tech Podcast, Paul Quickenden, Chief Commercial Officer of Easy Crypto, shares key insights into the evolving world of cryptocurrency.

Some of the topics that Paul covered in detail include:

• There is a significant shift in how younger generations think about wealth and investment.
• The importance of the core innovation of blockchain technology - decentralization.
• The potential weakening of the U.S. dollar's dominance as the global reserve currency and its impact on international trade.
• Fractionalization of assets and if it is really a thing.
• Despite the growing interest in crypto, the user experience remains a significant hurdle for new investors.
