During January we started a new format to curate the most important news in big waves of change in Fintech. The logic was explained in this announcement.
We started this new format in Security Tokens, because we believe that this is a big wave of change. So we worked hard to find an expert to guide us on what is happening in Security Tokens and we found that expert in Sheldon Freedman.
Another big wave of change iin Fintech is Stablecoins. So I am delighted to announce that, starting tomorrow, Alan Scott will be your Stablecoin News Curator
We believe in constraints because sipping from a firehose is a time suck for the busy senior leaders who rely on Daily Fintech to deliver just enough information to get on with their job. So once a week your News Curator will choose the 3 most important Stablecoin news stories. This requires judgement and that only comes with deep experience in the market, which is why we are so happy to announce that Alan Scott will be your the Daily Fintech Stablecoin News Curator
We chose news about Stablecoin because we believe that this is a tsunami sized wave of change where there is a big demand for quality information. It is also a complex subject and so we worked hard to find the best expert, wherever they are in the world (location is never an obstacle for us, because we have been running a decentralized remote working operation since we started in 2014) and we found that expert in Alan Scott. Alan and I first started working together over 12 years ago and I have enjoyed talking to him about all subjects related to cryptocurrency and FX, particularly Stablecoins. Alan is that rare combination, both deeply knowledgeable and an outside the box thinker. He is a serial entrepreneur and senior executive who has “walked a mile in your shoes”.
Seeing the news that matters each week will help busy senior leaders to position well for the Stablecoin tsunami of change.
Last week I interviewed Alan to get his views about Stablecoin. So I was delighted when Alan agreed to be our Stablecoin News Curator.
Please welcome Alan Scott. He will be your guide to the Stablecoin tsunami of change. Please tune in each Tuesday to learn what matters in the Stablecoin market. For more about Alan from his LinkedIn profile:
