150. Web3: Demystifying the next generation of the internet

The next generation of the internet contains online capabilities and technologies that promise to transform business models. Our goal today is to demystify these technologies, interrogate the many myths around Web3, and discover where the current and future business opportunities lie. Joining us are Ian De Bode, who leads our Web3 efforts in North America, and Matt Higginson, a partner in our Boston office and a leader in our Financial Services and Risk Practices who heads up our blockchain and digital assets initiatives globally. Ian and Matt are co-authors of the Mckinsey.com article, Web3 beyond the hype. We are also joined by Julian Sevillano, a partner in San Francisco who advises financial institutions, digital assets firms, and regulatory agencies on the risk and compliance implications of launching, scaling, and supervising digital assets businesses.
