Summary
In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Blockchain.com co-founder Nicolas Cary shares how the company evolved from one of Bitcoin’s earliest block explorers into a global crypto infrastructure platform serving retail, institutions, and high-net-worth clients. He explains why Bitcoin continues gaining legitimacy as digital gold, how institutional adoption is accelerating quietly behind the scenes, and why crypto’s long-term future is tied to AI agents and always-on financial systems. The conversation dives into prediction markets, DeFi, stablecoin adoption, and how blockchain technology is reshaping global finance far beyond speculation. Nick also reflects on surviving every major crypto cycle since 2011, the importance of customer trust, and why the industry still has massive room to grow.
