The music industry has always been tough on independent artists. You spend hours in the studio, pouring your energy and creativity into your songs, only to find that the money side of things feels like an endless maze. Streaming platforms pay very little, royalty checks take months—or even years—to arrive, and by the time everyone in the chain has taken their cut, there's often barely anything left for you. http://www.makingascene.org

Ever wondered what happens to those domain names gathering digital dust in your GoDaddy account? In this episode of The Index, host Alex Kehaya sits down with Michael Ho, Co-founder of D3, to explore how blockchain technology is transforming the overlooked world of domain trading and ownership.The domain industry hasn't changed much since the '90s. Selling a valuable name still involves clunky escrow services, manual transfers, and broker fees that can eat up 25% or more of your sale. D3 is changing that—by tokenizing domains as programmable digital assets on-chain.What makes D3's approach unique is its seamless integration. Instead of building a new siloed system, they're bringing Web3 functionality directly to where domain owners already are—through familiar registrar interfaces. Soon, you'll be able to tokenize, trade, lease, or fractionalize your domains with just a few clicks.At the heart of it all is Doma, the first DNS-compliant blockchain network. D3's DomainFi platform runs on Doma, bridging traditional Web2 domains with Web3 ecosystems. The result? New sources of liquidity, distribution, and innovation—unlocking value in what's currently a $350B+ real-world asset class.The biggest surprise? Half of all domains aren't even being used—just sitting idle. D3's technology brings those names to life, enabling domain holders to tap into new financial use cases, from collateral to leasing and beyond. And with the recent launch of .sol as an official top-level domain on Solana, the bridge between Web2 and Web3 is getting stronger by the day.Whether you're a domain investor, builder, or simply curious about the next wave of internet infrastructure, this conversation reveals what's possible when the world's original digital assets go decentralized.

In this episode, we speak with Bottomline's Mark Bish about how tokenization—beyond PCI DSS—can secure B2B payments, and the importance of not holding customer banking data in spreadsheets or on systems where it's accessible by employees. Mark shares how replacing bank account data with anonymous tokens, reduces fraud risk, simplifies compliance, and protects against both external and insider threats.

Lex chats with Yuval Rooz, CEO and co-founder of Digital Asset, about the company's transformation from its early institutional blockchain experiments to launching the Canton Network - a purpose-built, privacy-enabled smart contract platform designed for financial markets. Rooz shares insights into why Digital Asset was inspired by Bitcoin's financial principles rather than its technical assumptions, highlighting the importance of rethinking blockchain infrastructure rather than replicating flawed legacy models. He also unpacks the hard lessons from high-stakes projects like the Australian Stock Exchange overhaul, emphasizing why large-scale financial infrastructure must evolve incrementally to succeed. Finally, the conversation dives into Canton's unique tokenomics, where 70% of block rewards go to the developers and users who create economic activity on the network, challenging traditional validator-centric models and aligning incentives more fairly for long-term ecosystem growth. Notable discussion points: 1. Canton's innovative tokenomics: Unlike Ethereum, where validators capture most of the rewards, Canton allocates 70% of block rewards to developers and applications, creating sustainable alignment. 2. Lessons from ASX: Rooz reflects on the failed ASX blockchain migration, advocating for iterative upgrades rather than “big bang” infrastructure transformations. 3. True tokenization: Rooz critiques superficial on-chain IOU models, asserting that real tokenization must place the asset's books and records natively on-chain to unlock the benefits of DeFi and composability. MENTIONED IN THE CONVERSATION Topics: Digital Asset, Canton Network, DRW, ASX, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Plaid, DAML, fintech, web3, tokenization, digital assets, financial infrastructure, DeFi, onchain ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Arthur Breitman, the co-founder of Tezos, one of the OG blockchains that has been innovating since 2018. We dive deep into the evolution of tokenization, why the first wave fell short, and how the next iteration can unlock real value. Arthur also shares insights on Tezos' latest upgrades, the growing demand for privacy in crypto, and an unexpected but fascinating use case—tokenizing uranium.We also explore:Why stablecoins became the most successful “real-world asset” in cryptoThe role of privacy in blockchain and the regulatory challenges aheadHow Tezos continues to innovate with faster block times and seamless upgradesThe surprising connection between commodities like uranium and crypto marketsThe reality of DeFi and whether planned maintenance on blockchains makes senseIf you're interested in the future of tokenized assets, crypto infrastructure, and why banks still feel like they're stuck in 1999, this is an episode you don't want to miss.Key Takeaways:✅ The first wave of tokenization failed due to misaligned expectations—crypto traders weren't looking for stable, bond-like investments.✅ Stablecoins became the ultimate “real-world asset” because they're not an investment but a convenience, especially in regions with weak local currencies.✅ Tezos continues to evolve with fast block times, liquid proof-of-stake, and a strong developer community.✅ Tokenizing commodities like uranium opens up new financial markets that were previously inaccessible to retail investors.✅ Privacy remains a core value in crypto, but regulatory pressure is making it harder to implement.Listen & Subscribe:

In this episode of the Tearsheet Podcast, I sit down with Frank Chaparro, the host of The Scoop and Director of Special Products at The Block. He has years of experience at the intersection of digital assets and Wall Street. Frank offers a unique perspective on blockchain technology and tokenization, highlighting their early impact on financial markets and projecting out where Web3 may lead for financial services. “When you're managing trillions of dollars, offering new, innovative products isn't just risky. It's a massive operational challenge,” says Chaparro. His insights explain why tokenization, stablecoins, and blockchain technology are growing in popularity. These innovations overcome challenges faced by traditional financial institutions, offering new solutions and efficiencies in the financial sector. Frank explores how stablecoins bridge decentralized finance and traditional systems. For example, he explores the challenges of institutional investment in crypto ETFs. His analysis covers the complexities of this fast-evolving space. The Big Ideas Tokenization could revolutionize industries by making processes more efficient. Frank highlights its application in property transactions. He says, “Tokenizing deeds could bring unprecedented efficiency to a traditionally slow process.” Stablecoins are enabling seamless transactions between traditional and decentralized finance. “It's just so damn easy to send stablecoins compared to alternatives like PayPal,” says Frank. Despite regulatory and operational hurdles, major banks are inching closer to crypto adoption. Frank predicts, “By 2025, we'll see wealth management portals opening up to these assets.” Regulatory clarity remains a double-edged sword. Frank explains, “Banks fear the potential repercussions of engaging with digital assets. Even when there's no explicit rule against it.” Meme coins and NFTs hint at a future where culture and finance intersect. Frank calls it “extracting value out of humor,” a concept that could reshape how we view digital assets.

As online content becomes predominantly AI-driven, intellectual property (IP) rights should not be neglected as (human) creators will heavily rely on them. While the main use cases for blockchains revolve around financial applications, one could argue that our everyday lives constantly intersect IPs in different forms. Although the legal framework is abundant, proper recording, monetization and disputes are often a burden for independent creators. Story Protocol aims to create a decentralised framework for IP management, tokenizing it both through NFTs and fungible tokens, allowing creators to register fully programmable IP, that is also recognized and enforced through the traditional judiciary system. Using smart contracts and programmable metadata, Story Protocol ensures proper monetization for creators whenever their IP is used.Topics covered in this episode:Jason's backgroundCurrent IP pain pointsTokenizing IPStory Protocol blockchainPreventing IP infringementStory Protocol validatorsInteroperabilityOnboarding traditional IP to Story ProtocolStory Protocol's legal frameworkEnforcing IP rights on Story ProtocolHiding or demonetizing on-chain IPGovernance & disputesRoadmapEpisode links:Jason Zhao on XStory Protocol on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Could cryptocurrency be the key to bridging financial gaps? Can it create a more inclusive global economy? Digital assets like stablecoins and blockchain technology are reshaping how we think about money. Their potential to level the financial playing field is becoming clearer. In today's episode of the Tearsheet podcast, I sit down with Lisa Nestor, Research Director at the Stanford Future of Digital Currency Initiative to discuss how fintech innovation is paving the way for broader financial inclusion. Lisa's expertise spans blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, and fintech innovation. This makes her a leading voice in understanding the intersection of these fields. Lisa's career reflects a deep commitment to financial inclusion. “When I started researching Stellar,” Lisa shares. “It brought together what I had seen [and demonstrated] the power of providing open-source financial infrastructure.” This passion for creating accessible financial systems has guided her work. It also included her current research on stablecoins and digital dollar adoption. Lisa explains how cryptocurrency, stablecoins, and blockchain can make finance fairer. Her insights show how these innovations affect cross-border payments and financial inclusion. She also discusses their role in the evolving fintech landscape. The Big Ideas 1. Open financial infrastructure creates a global ledger accessible to all. “The idea is to create a ledger that every financial institution in the world can operate on but can't buy. It is open and available to everyone.” 2. Stablecoins provide financial security in unstable economies. “In emerging markets like Argentina, stablecoins offer a way to hedge inflation. They secure savings amidst economic instability.” 3. Tokenizing real-world assets improves liquidity and global accessibility. “Tokenizing existing assets brings improved liquidity and global accessibility to traditionally illiquid markets.” 4. Governments explore CBDCs to complement existing banking systems. “Central banks are focused on introducing CBDCs that complement. Rather than compete with, existing banking systems.” 5. Digital dollars empower individuals in the gig economy. “More individuals are earning in digital dollars through online work. This is creating new economic opportunities without physical migration.”
