EPISODE DESCRIPTION
I sat down live at Token 2049 in Singapore with Abdul from ZIG Finance to dig into how the industry has quietly shifted from hype to real adoption. We cover why blockchain was never really about speed or cutting out middlemen , it was always about access. Abdul shares how ZIG Finance evolved from a copy trading platform into a full institutional DeFi stack, why their tokenomics overhaul puts revenue back into the token, and what it actually takes to bring emerging market assets on-chain safely. We also get into why origination , not distribution, not technology , is the hardest problem in tokenization right now, and what a 70-year-old man in Karachi buying Tesla stock on his Trust Wallet tells us about where this industry is headed.
