THE CRYPTO EVOLUTION: Crypto Grew Up. Now What? with Mauricio Magaldi (Input Output, Blockdrops)

Crypto began at the margins of finance. Today, institutions, regulators, and global financial markets are increasingly engaging with it. So how did that shift happen? In this episode of Crypto Cast, PK sits down with Mauricio Magaldi, a venture builder at Input Output with over 12 years in crypto and 20 years in financial services, and the host of BlockDrops Podcast. Together they explore where crypto has come from – from the cypherpunk origins of Bitcoin to where it’s heading, with the rise of institutional capital, AI, and on-chain regulation.  They cover:  → Why the origins of Bitcoin and the institutional present aren’t as contradictory as they seem → How regulators are finally starting to engage with crypto – and why most still don’t understand composability → Why stablecoins are the natural settlement layer for the agentic economy → The real risk of AI agents with access to wallets – and what guardrails are actually needed → Whether the agentic economy is economically viable once VC stops subsidising it…CRYPTO CAST⬜ Click here to receive every podcast straight to your inbox⬜ Follow PK on LinkedIn⬜ Follow Mauricio on LinkedIn
