In this inaugural episode of our special series "The Intersection: Where DeFi + TradFi Meet," we dive deep into the rapidly converging worlds of traditional finance and decentralized finance with Leif Abraham, co-founder and co-CEO of Public.

Leif shares invaluable insights on how Public is bridging the gap between conventional investment platforms and digital assets, creating a trusted environment where users can build diversified portfolios across multiple asset classes. The conversation explores:

  • How trust has become the ultimate moat in financial services
  • The evolution of crypto from a trading-focused to a buy-and-hold asset class
  • Why Bitcoin ETFs have transformed investor behavior and broadened market appeal
  • Public's groundbreaking "Generated Assets" feature that uses AI to create personalized investment indexes
  • The real-world applications of stablecoins beyond the hype
  • How regulatory clarity is maturing the digital asset ecosystem

Whether you're a TradFi veteran curious about blockchain applications or a DeFi enthusiast interested in institutional adoption, this episode offers a balanced perspective on where these two financial worlds are meeting and what the future holds for investors.

Want to hear more important conversations around TradFi and DeFi? We're exploring it all on our brand new Intersection stage at Money20/20 USA in Las Vegas this October!
