The Crypto Tape – Why Tech is Only 25% of Crypto’s Future with Asheesh Birla

Asheesh Birla has been building in crypto since 2013, back when there were just a handful of blockchains and Vitalik was still working out of Ripple's offices. Now CEO of Evernorth, the largest actively managed digital asset treasury built around XRP, he joins Frank Chaparro to make the case that the technology is the easy 25% and the real work is connecting blockchains to the wider economy.They get into why XRP went from "the bank chain" insult to a structural advantage, why stablecoins are blockchain's broadband moment, the coming shakeout in digital asset treasuries after 2025's "summer of debt," and how tokenized equities went from negligible to $25 billion in two years.A grounded, builder's-eye conversation about tokenization.
