S1 E7 | Autopay for Web3 w/Eleni Steinman

On this episode of Rehash, we’re chatting with Loop Crypto co-founder, Eleni Steinman. After working for the federal government, Eleni went to business school in hopes of starting a business of her own. Once she was there, she stumbled across the Bitcoin whitepaper and fell down the crypto rabbit hole, eventually moving to Chicago to get her foot in the crypto industry door.After working in the space for several years, Eleni took the leap and co-founded a project to solve a problem that she and her peers found themselves constantly running into. That problem was the lack of auto payment and subscription options in the crypto space, and the answer was Loop Crypto.Eleni tells us all about the goals and plans of Loop, from streamlining SaaS subscription payments for DAOs to making crypto donations and loans easier than ever and much more. We also get into the future use cases of Loop, talk about music NFTs and ticketing, the state of crypto security, and discuss the role of regulation in the web3 space.To continue this conversation and stay up to date on all things Rehash, you can follow Diana on Twitter @ddwchen and Rehash @rehashweb3.
