Welcome to episode 9 of Coppercasts!

In the hot seat this week is Konstantin Anissimov, Executive Director of CEX.IO, one of the oldest and most established cryptocurrency exchanges.

CopperCasts are split into two parts. The first is a short (2min) video in which our guest shares with us something they find unusual or inspiring about the digital asset space. The second half is a traditional audio-only podcast, which you can stream at the bottom of this page, or search for it in all the usual places.

The Show & Tell segment sees Konstantin outlines the factors driving the appeal and growth of DeFi, and how even in its nascency, the sector has already left an indelible mark on the global financial landscape.

In the longer conversation, Konstantin describes navigating the minefield of grey areas in exchange regulation, witnessing a growing wave of institutional funds flowing into the cryptoasset space and shares his take on what’s in store for central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
