Crypto has come a long way from its early days. Regulation is tightening, institutions are becoming more involved, and the technology behind digital assets is increasingly finding real-world applications.

In the first of a new monthly series, Sean Aylmer speaks with John O'Loghlen, Managing Director APAC at Coinbase, about how Australia's crypto industry has matured. They discuss why regulation is strengthening investor confidence, where Bitcoin fits in today's financial system, and why tokenisation and stablecoins could be the next major step in modern finance.
