Episode 14: Market Sentiment

In this episode of Exponential, Genzio Media co-founder and CEO Zack shares his perspective on the maturing Web3 landscape — and why the next wave will look very different from the last.

A crypto native since 2011, Zack launched Genzio in 2022 to fill a gap he encountered firsthand while working at Ripple and OKX: Web3 companies needed partners who actually understood crypto. 

“People are going to need to continue to get help from people who really understand this industry,” he said. 

Genzio now serves dozens of projects, offering growth, content, and community strategy — and giving Zack a panoramic view of the evolving market.

Right now, he sees three themes dominating the space: tokenized real-world assets, AI, and stablecoins. “The companies that are in Web3, such as Nexus, who are implementing AI, I think are going to be the winners of this next cycle,” Zack said. He also pointed to the rising global utility of stablecoins. “At the airport in Bolivia, a lot of goods are actually denominated in USDT. That’s a game changer.”
