Pascal St Jean, CEO of #3iQ joins us to discuss their groundbreaking #XRP spot #ETF launch in Canada and why we're at a pivotal moment in crypto history. As the leader behind North America's first regulated Bitcoin ETF, Pascal shares his unique perspective on where the digital asset space is heading.
In this conversation, Pascal explains how 3iQ built their reputation through innovative fee structures, strategic partnerships with foundations like Ripple Labs, and their five-pronged approach to scaling the crypto ecosystem. He draws fascinating parallels between today's crypto market and the early 2000s internet boom, suggesting we're in the "slowly then suddenly" phase where institutional adoption is accelerating.
