Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we are joined by Sebastian Widmann who is Head of Strategy at Komainu, where he leads the development and execution of Komainu's vision to become the key partner for institutions entering the digital asset industry.

Welcome to the 166th episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on September 25, 2023. With the fallout from FTX and other situations in 2022, more organizations are looking for ways to demonstrate to their clients how their assets are stored. We chat about asset flows, regulations, and much more.

Thanks, everyone for listening, and don’t forget to tune in next week when we speak to Rachid Ajaja, CEO and Co-Founder of AllianceBlock.
