 EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Wei Zhou, CEO of Coins.ph, to dig into how they're building stablecoin infrastructure that's genuinely changing lives in the Philippines and beyond. Wei walked me through his journey from Goldman Sachs to Binance CFO to buying Coins.ph from Gojek in 2022 and rebuilding it from scratch. We talked about why the Philippines has become a global leader in stablecoin adoption, how they slashed payment fees from 4-8% down to near-zero for Filipino freelancers, and why Wei believes every country needs its own blockchain currency , not just a blockchain dollar. We also got into the Genius Act, the Clarity Act, the upcoming wave of tokenized assets, and what it will take for stablecoins to go truly global. This one is packed with real-world insight from someone actually in the trenches of building payments infrastructure at the intersection of crypto and emerging markets. DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

Digital asset treasury is changing how companies manage cash and protect value. Wojciech Kaszycki of BTCS joins host Alex Perny to explain how actively managed Bitcoin treasuries work and why the Bitcoin standard could define the next thirty years of corporate finance.Key Points:- Digital asset treasury companies actively manage Bitcoin rather than simply holding it like an ETF.- The Bitcoin standard positions anti-inflation assets as essential for long-term company survival.- Companies with Bitcoin on the balance sheet may secure larger credit lines and grow faster.- Early adoption in 2017 faced auditor pushback, bank account closures, and regulatory confusion.- Institutions now drive the market that retail investors originally built from the ground up.- Tokenization embeds settlement, security, and compliance directly into the blockchain layer.- Volatility remains healthy for the market while wider participation reduces price manipulation.Chapters:00:00 Introduction02:11 Meet Wojciech Kaszycki and BTCS04:05 Why Build a Digital Asset Treasury Company11:06 The 2017 Roadblocks to Adoption16:54 Retail Built It, Institutions Adopted It36:37 Tokenization and the Web3 Future53:46 The Big Benefits for Corporate Treasury57:34 Volatility, Stability, and Market Manipulation01:00:30 Where to Connect With WojciechSubscribe to our YouTube channel and join our growing community for new videos every week.If you are interested in being a podcast guest speaker or have questions, contact us at Podcast@AdvantaIRA.com.Learn more about our guest, Wojciech Kaszycki: https://www.btcs.com/Learn more about Advanta IRA: https://www.AdvantaIRA.com/ https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/advanta-ira https://www.linkedin.com/company/Advanta-IRA/ https://twitter.com/AdvantaIRA https://www.facebook.com/AdvantaIRA/ https://www.instagram.com/AdvantaIRA/#DigitalAssetTreasury #CorporateTreasury #Tokenization

He also dives into the growing stablecoin debate, arguing that while Congress continues pushing back against a Federal Reserve CBDC, privately issued stablecoins backed by U.S. Treasuries may ultimately become an even more powerful form of digital money.https://www.youtube.com/watch?is=ncQr95cy21vYsWT4&v=SHroBbNtcbk&feature=youtu.beThe episode also covers Securitize's public debut and tokenized shares on Solana and Avalanche, Metaplanet's continued Bitcoin accumulation, the IMF's latest warning on tokenization, Russia's rollout of the digital ruble, and Spotify's dispute with Kalshi and Polymarket after alleged manipulation of music-related prediction markets.
