Our guest this week is Australian Hongkonger and Bitcoin entrepreneur Dave Chapman. Dave is the Executive Director of the publicly listed BC Group and its subsidiary OSL (osl.com), one of Asia's leading digital asset platforms. OSL recently became the first recipient of approval in principle for Type 1 and Type 7 licenses from the Securities and Futures Commission in Hong Kong, allowing them to operate a virtual asset trading platform and deal in securities. It is a significant step from Hong Kong regulators and the result of an intentional approach from OSL. Dave and I discuss that process and its significance, trends that he sees in institutional adoption and more.  Dave on Twitter @IAmDaveChapman OSL on Twitter @osldotcom
