In this episode of Governance Futures, Eugene and Jamilya speak with Dennison Bertram, co-founder and CEO of Tally, about the evolving role of regulation, DAOs, and decentralization.

This is a thoughtful, provocative conversation for anyone building or thinking critically about the future of crypto, compliance, and the critical role of legal frameworks in shaping the next era of web3 innovation.
