Welcome back to What's NEXT, the podcast exploring the technology of the future. This week, we're sharing another conversation from our series of interviews at the Web Summit conference last year. In this episode, Samsung NEXT's Ryan Lawler speaks with Olga Feldmeier, the founder of Smart Valor, an investment platform offering secure trading and brokerage services for digital assets and cryptocurrencies. She discusses why she left banking, how she got into crypto, and how she sees the future of digital assets evolving.
Olga Feldmeir and Robert Wieko discuss the partnership between Smart Valor and Dash.
Olga Feldmeier, CEO of SmartValor, describes how her upbringing in Ukraine when it was undergoing 10,000% and 5,000% annual inflation helped her understand the potential in Bitcoin years later, and helped her connect with Wences Casares, CEO of Xapo. She also talks about how Xapo was able to get regulated in Switzerland, without having to get a banking license, and why she believes Switzerland has been open to the crypto industry. She explains why she is now focused on security tokens and tokenizing other real-world assets with her venture SmartValor, why it is also licensed in Lichtenstein, why it is aiming to make South Korea its second home, and what her view is on Facebook's Libra.
