For episode 744 of the BlockHash Podcast, host Brandon Zemp is joined by Sebastian Salomon, CGO and Co-Founder of oneBanking, one of Europe's most exciting fintech ventures (est. 2024), and co-founder of oneBots, an AI-powered automation platform making intelligent banking accessible to everyone.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Mamadou Kwidjim Toure, co-founder of U-Tribe and GIFT (Gold International Fungible Token), to explore one of the most ambitious real-world asset projects I've come across. Mamadou spent decades in banking and early-stage investing across Africa , including in the first GSM projects and mobile payments before M-Pesa , and he turned that experience into a mission: giving anyone on earth access to physical, one-to-one backed gold from as little as 15 cents. We talk about why central banks are quietly buying more physical gold than at any point in the past 40 years, why the gold ETF market is dangerously over-encumbered, and how GIFT's MiCA-regulated token could become the financial safety net for 2.5 billion people across 35 countries. Mamadou also walks me through their quantum-enhanced wallet, their Ubuntu Academy for financial and digital literacy, and their upcoming STO launching in July. This one is packed with insight on the real shift happening in global finance right now. DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

Some change you choose. This isn't that. The accounting industry is having change done to it right now, and the two biggest culprits are regulation and AI. AML, KYC, tax agent linking, none of it was on anyone's wish list, it just landed on the desk with a due date. Same with AI, whether you're ready or not, it's already in your software, your clients' inboxes, and their expectations.In this episode Aly and Andrew ask the obvious question. When you're forced to change, who actually wins? Is it the firms who move fast, the regulators, the software vendors quietly adding a line to the invoice, or the clients turning up with robot generated advice and asking you to bless it for free?We dig into what the new rules really cost beyond the compliance box, how AI helps when it's useful and annoys everyone when it isn't, and how to come out the other side credible, sane, and still running a firm you actually like.Pour a bevvy, pull up a log, and tell us, which forced change is winning at your place right now?AAAAA IS PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY OUR SPONSORSPinch Payments helps Australian businesses get paid faster without the usual follow-up fatigue.

What's up, fraud fighters, and welcome to Fraud Forward.I recorded this live from Safeguard's AI Deep Dive Retreat at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, and y'all, let me tell you something: this was not just another room full of AI buzzwords. This was fraud leaders, payment experts, financial institution professionals, fintech voices, marketplace operators, and risk leaders all sitting in the same place asking one very real question.What happens to fraud prevention when artificial intelligence changes everything?The future of AI fraud is not some far-off thing we are all fixin' to deal with later. It is already here. We are seeing AI change the speed, scale, and complexity of fraud operations right now. We are seeing it show up in synthetic identity fraud, AI scams, AI identity verification, agentic AI fraud, fraud detection automation, governance conversations, and the pressure fraud teams are already carrying every single day.But this episode is not about panic.It is about realism.It is about what fraud fighters are seeing, what institutions are building, where the gaps still are, and how we keep humans at the center while fraud keeps accelerating around us.What you'll hear in this episode:A practical conversation about the future of AI fraud and what it means for fraud operationsHow AI fraud prevention is changing across banking, credit unions, fintech, payments, marketplaces, and risk teamsWhy synthetic identity fraud, AI scams, and identity fraud prevention are becoming major areas of concernHow AI in fraud prevention can help investigators analyze data, identify patterns, and reduce noiseWhy AI governance in fraud prevention cannot be treated as something we clean up laterHow agentic AI fraud, know your agent, and KYA fraud prevention are becoming part of the next conversationWhy human-in-the-loop fraud detection still matters, even when fraud analyst AI tools are getting betterHow fraud fighters and AI can work together without replacing the people who know this work bestA reminder that responsible AI risk management has to include governance, empathy, collaboration, and practical controlsWho should listen:Financial institution leaders and fraud professionalsRisk, compliance, and cybersecurity teamsFraud operations teams and investigatorsCredit union and community bank leadersBanking fraud prevention teamsCredit union fraud prevention teamsFintech, payments, and marketplace risk teamsBSA, AML, KYC, and identity teamsRegulators and policy advisorsIndustry advocates and victim support professionalsMedia professionals covering scams, fraud, AI, and financial crimeAnyone trying to understand how AI-driven fraud affects real people, real institutions, and real fraud teamsThis conversation is for the fraud fighters who are not just trying to check a compliance box. It is for the teams trying to protect members, customers, and communities while also figuring out how to use AI-powered fraud prevention without creating new risk.

Industry experts estimate synthetic identity fraud costs the financial industry as high as $95 billion a year, and the most damaging attacks pass every verification check without triggering a single alert.Tedd Huff, CEO of fintech advisory firm Voalyre and founder of Fintech Confidential, brings 25 years of payments and fraud infrastructure experience to a direct conversation with Hal Lonas, Chief Technology Officer of Trulioo, the identity verification platform trusted by Google, JP Morgan Payments, Stripe, Airbnb, and Meta.Lonas explains why detection rates hide more than they reveal, how fraudsters now add intentional imperfections to AI-generated deepfakes to beat detection systems, and why agentic commerce requires an entirely new verification layer beyond KYC and KYB. The conversation covers Trulioo's Know Your Agent (KYA) framework, the Digital Agent Passport, Google's Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), and the privacy regulation debate most compliance teams have not fully worked through.Find out more1️⃣ Ask your identity vendor for their false negative rate, not just their detection rate, and demand specific numbers.2️⃣ Build continuous monitoring into your post-onboarding workflow so your system is still watching on day 30, 60, and 90.3️⃣ Audit every automated decision model in your stack and document the logic before your next regulatory exam.4️⃣ Map your verification flow and tier friction based on real-time risk signals instead of running flat checks on every customer.5️⃣ Get your compliance and growth teams in the same room with a shared dashboard showing fraud loss rates and abandonment rates side by side.Guest:Hal Lonas LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hal-lonas-4555b1Hal Lonas X: https://x.com/hal_lonasCompany:Trulioo: https://www.trulioo.comFintech Confidential:Podcast: https://fintechconfidential.com/listenNotifications: https://fintechconfidential.com/accessLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintechconfidentialX: https://x.com/FTconfidentialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fintechconfidentialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/fintechconfidentialSupporters:Under.io streamlines application and underwriting by digitizing PDFs for digital signature: under.io/FTCSkyflow is a zero trust data privacy vault delivered as an API, covering PCI, CCPA, GDPR, SOC 2, and beyond: skyflowsecure.comDFNS provides wallets as a service, API first, multi-chain, secured with MPC, used by Stripe, Fidelity, and others: fintechconfidential.com/dfnsHawk AI offers real-time payment screening, AML monitoring, and dynamic customer risk rating to reduce false positives: gethawk.comAbout:Hal Lonas is the Chief Technology Officer of Trulioo, where he leads technology strategy, product development, and engineering.

Der Bitcoin-Preis ist unter die Marke von 60.000 Dollar gekracht und die Stimmung am Markt ist sichtlich abgekühlt, während das große Risikokapital in den aktuellen KI-Hype und anstehende Tech-IPOs flieht. Gemeinsam mit Jonas Benner, Quant-Analyst bei einem der größten australischen Pensionsfonds, analysiere ich die aktuelle Marktstruktur, den Einfluss von ETFs und warum dieser Bärenmarkt sich fundamental von vergangenen Zyklen unterscheidet. Wir werfen einen Blick auf das erfolgreiche australische Vorsorgemodell, das als erste große Kasse aktiv in Bitcoin investiert hat, und besprechen die langfristigen makroökonomischen Trends wie Deglobalisierung und die unaufhaltsame Staatsverschuldung, die Bitcoin als ultimatives, unkorreliertes und knappes Wertspeichermedium unumgänglich machen.- Jonas auf X- Jonas auf LinkedIn- Jonas' Paper zu Bitcoin & KILEADING PARTNER

Mike Dudas holds zero ETH and sees Hyperliquid as crypto's Tether moment. He also has a clear framework for what makes a token worth buying. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! Fidelity: Explore crypto careers and make the decision that could change your future at https://crypto.fidelitycareers.com ======================================================== Strategy sold 32 Bitcoin, worth just $2.5 million, and the market didn't miss it. For Mike Dudas, Managing Partner at 6th Man Ventures, the sale broke the "never sell" promise that sustained the company's premium. He doesn't see how the narrative gets rebuilt. Dudas applies the same unsentimental read to the rest of the L1 landscape. His firm holds zero ETH — five years of contradictory narratives have left the market unable to value it. In his view, Solana's decline is simpler: memecoin activity peaked and hasn't recovered. Hyperliquid, in his view, is closer to Tether than a competing L1: the no-KYC international market is enormous, and asset quality is the moat.

How do you prove there's a real human on the other side of the screen when AI can generate faces, IDs, accounts, agents, and entire swarms of bots?Tiago Sada, Chief Product Officer at Tools for Humanity, joins The Neuron to explain why proof of human may become one of the internet's most important trust layers. Tools for Humanity is building the technology behind World and World ID, a system designed to verify that someone is a real, unique person without requiring them to reveal their identity across the web.Tiago breaks down why CAPTCHAs, phone numbers, KYC, and AI-detection systems are starting to fail; how World ID uses in-person verification, cryptography, and zero-knowledge proofs; and why the future internet may need to distinguish between humans, bots, and agents acting on behalf of humans.We also discuss concert ticket scalping, Tinder verification, Zoom deepfake protection, enterprise fraud, gaming bots, and why AI agents may need a kind of digital “power of attorney.”Subscribe to The Neuron for clear, practical conversations about AI and the future of technology: https://www.theneuron.ai/This episode is sponsored by Guru. https://www.getguru.com/?utm_source=theneuron&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=silver-bundle-june2026

In this episode of Cents Chat, Kitty and Chris sit down with Sean Ogden, Co-Founder of GiveTech, to talk about one of the least glamorous but most important parts of payments: merchant onboarding. GiveTech's mission is to make giving so simple it can happen at a stoplight, but that kind of frictionless donation experience only works if the platform also has strong controls behind the scenes. The team digs into how GiveTech replaced clunky PDFs, DocuSigns, and awkward PII collection with a branded, mobile-first onboarding workflow that feels simple for customers while supporting underwriting, KYC, and fraud prevention.The conversation also looks at why onboarding has become a bigger responsibility for ISVs and platforms. With card-network monitoring expectations increasing, fintech regulation shifting, and donation platforms becoming attractive targets for fraudsters, getting merchants live is no longer just an administrative step. It is the front door to trust, risk, compliance, and money movement. GiveTech's story shows how better onboarding can reduce sales friction, protect sensitive information, validate identities, and help legitimate organizations start accepting donations faster without making the platform easier for bad actors to exploit.

I sat down with Ian from the World Foundation to dig into one of the most pressing problems of our time, how do you prove you're a real human online without sacrificing your privacy? As AI floods the internet with bots and agents, the gap between human and machine interaction is closing fast. Ian walks me through how World ID and the Orb device let anyone verify their humanity using advanced cryptography, completely anonymously, no passport scans, no email addresses, no data sitting on some server you don't control. We also get into Ian's wild journey from GPU mining and Constitution DAO to building at World, and why the current KYC and AML model is a problem for both users and platforms.
