Ghost Stories #84: Assurance and trust - the route to wider blockchain adoption

A decade ago, barely anyone you knew would even have heard of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, let alone blockchain technology. But today, the tokenisation of digital assets is so important that regulators around the world are paying increasing attention to it.

Dr Wiehann Olivier is passionate about the financial guardrails that need to be in place for digital asset adoption to increase. Having completed his PhD in topics related to the assurance needed in a blockchain context, Wiehann has become a subject matter expert within the global Forvis Mazars ecosystem.

On this podcast, he joined me to walk us through the evolution of cryptocurrency from the initial Bitcoin years through to the modern environment of stablecoins and widespread adoption by leading institutions.
