The Rise of Crypto Nations: Could Entire Countries Go Blockchain?

Could entire nations transition to blockchain-based governance and finance? In this episode of the Wirex Podcast, we’re diving into this bold idea with Aishwary Gupta, Head of Payments and Liquidity at Polygon. We break down the concept of a "crypto nation"—whether it means full blockchain integration or just crypto-friendly policies. Aishwary shares insights on which countries are leading the way, the role of banks and regulators in a blockchain-driven economy, and whether decentralized tech contradicts government control. Will we see blockchain-based city-states before full-fledged crypto nations? And which country is most likely to make the leap first? Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on the future of nation-states in the Web3 era. Let us know—do you think crypto nations could become a reality? Host: Lianna Adams, Founder of Impactful Artistry, Web3 advocate
