As MiCA regulation reshapes the European crypto market, banks can no longer treat digital assets as a side topic. Clients are asking questions, infrastructure decisions are becoming urgent, and crypto is increasingly moving from experimentation to board-level strategy. This conversation looks at how banks actually approach crypto internally: from skepticism and compliance concerns to custody infrastructure, euro stablecoins, partnerships, and long-term competitive pressure. Rather than asking whether crypto belongs in banking, this episode explores a more important question: is integrating crypto now a growth strategy — or a survival strategy?

In Episode 2 of Money Rewired, Erald Ghoos, CEO of OKX Europe, joins us to unpack how trust is evolving across retail users, institutions, and regulators in Europe.

With MiCA now live, stablecoins under regulatory scrutiny, and institutional custody reshaped after FTX, this conversation focuses on how crypto functions as infrastructure, not as a narrative.

Rather than debating whether crypto is “back,” this episode examines how trust is formed in real systems — through liquidity, product design, transparency, and regulation.

In the first episode of Money Rewired, we speak with Lex Fisun, Co-Founder and CEO of Global Ledger, about what actually happens after crypto is stolen — how quickly it moves, how it gets laundered, and why compliance teams are usually reacting after the damage is done.

Lex works with payment providers, exchanges, regulators, and law enforcement on real investigations. Instead of talking in abstracts, this conversation focuses on practical reality: how regulators see crypto today, where regulation clashes with technical limits, and how risk shows up for teams building and running crypto products. This episode is for founders, operators, and product teams working with crypto payments, wallets, or on-chain infrastructure — especially those building outside large enterprises.
