Ep. 19 Financing Impact with Maex Ament of WithEarth.xyz

In today’s episode we talk with Maex Ament of  WithEarth.xyz & Centrifuge. Having vast experience leveraging technology to  fundraise and create positive impact, Maex is a bridge between web3 and the climate space. Centrifuge tokenizes real world assets and puts them on the blockchain. Some examples are invoices,  music royalties, mortgages, consumer debt, and all the way into carbon credits and carbon forwards. Maex gives a thorough and nuanced explanation of what tokenization of real world assets can allow for. One such example is democratizing the access to liquidity.Maex shares his thoughts on how the immutability of smart contracts on the blockchain allows developers to build on a stack that is both philosophically and technologically “unstoppable.”We discuss the real world asset summit in NYC this fall, as well as real world asset summits happening in Dubai and at ETH CC. We finish the conversation with Maex giving some thoughtful feedback on how the ReFi space can evolve in order to “green pill” institutional players and governments. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Maex, I hope you do too.WithEarth.xyzMaex's TwitterCentrifuge.ioCentrifuge's Twitter
