With special guest Matthieu de Vergnes, Managing Director and Global Head of Institutional at Ondo
In this episode of Crypto 101, Bryce Paul and Brendan explore the future of real-world asset tokenization with Matthieu de Vergnes, Managing Director and Global Head of Institutional at Ondo.
As Wall Street moves toward blockchain-based financial infrastructure, institutions are exploring how tokenization could change the way stocks, private markets, and other financial assets are issued, accessed, and managed. Matthieu explains how Ondo is connecting traditional finance with decentralized infrastructure and why institutional adoption could accelerate the shift toward on-chain markets.
