Kinode Office Hours Pacific Sharks and Crypto Whales (feat. Elaine Wang)
On this extra special episode, the boys are joined by entrepreneur, investor, and scientist Elaine Wang to discuss the transformation of Palau from a tiny island nation into an emerging crypto powerhouse. Together, she and the crew discuss her role as CEO and cofounder of Metropolis, as well as the multiple Web3 initiatives she has lunched in conjunction with the Palaun government, including: a digital residency program, a national stablecoin, and, soon, a tokenized asset platform for investment in Palau. All this plus the upcoming Palau Blockchain Summit, carbon credit seaweed farms, Japanese rock bands, and eating raw sea cucumbers. Don't miss it.
