This episode of The Edge of Show was recorded live at the Future of Money, Governance, and the Law (FOMGL) 2025 event in Washington, D.C., where policymakers, financial institutions, and technology leaders came together to address how emerging technologies are reshaping global finance.

In this conversation, Eleanor Terrett, Marcus Veith, Wee Kee Toh, and Paul Dowding dives explore how major financial institutions like JP Morgan and Grant Thornton are moving beyond experimentation and embracing real-world blockchain solutions, from stablecoin adoption and tokenized deposits to the challenges facing auditors and regulators in a world that’s quickly moving on-chain.

Key takeaways:

Why this is the year institutions are going all-in on crypto and DeFi
Real-use cases for blockchain in global banking, treasury management, and audits
The evolution from private, permissioned blockchains to public networks—and what’s next for mainstream adoption
The regulatory landscape in the U.S., what clarity acts mean for crypto-native and traditional companies, and how to prepare your organization for what’s ahead

We’ll cut through the buzzwords with honest takes, contrarian views, and practical advice from industry leaders who are building the future of finance right now. Whether you’re just crypto-curious or deeply involved in fintech innovation, this episode will level-up your understanding.
