## Resource

What needs to happen for crypto, tokenization and stablecoins to move from theory into real financial infrastructure? In this episode of the AllInCrypto Podcast, we sit down with Paolo Sironi from IBM, Global Research Leader for Banking and Financial Markets at the IBM Institute for Business Value, for a very deep conversation on the future of finance. Paolo explains why AI is not a new innovation, why its real economic impact may only be starting now, and how the convergence of AI, tokenization, stablecoins and banking could reshape the financial system. We discuss why tokenized markets may become a major catalyst for crypto adoption, how institutions like BlackRock and the New York Stock Exchange are thinking about tokenization, why stablecoins could become more important as financial markets move on-chain, and what risk management frameworks are needed for this new infrastructure to scale. This is not just a conversation about crypto prices. It is a high-level discussion about banking, market infrastructure, financial transparency, AI risk management, tokenized assets, stablecoins, Bitcoin and the future of money. Paolo also shares his views on why financial services need to move from outputs to outcomes, why the word “crypto” is often misunderstood, and what still needs to happen before tokenization can become a real part of the global financial system.
