In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Chris Perkins, incoming head of Franklin Crypto and CEO of 250 Digital Asset Management, explains why crypto’s long-term opportunity is much bigger than short-term market volatility. He breaks down how tokenization is becoming “electronification 2.0,” why the Clarity Act could unlock institutional adoption, and how clear rules may finally allow traditional finance to scale into digital assets. The conversation also covers stablecoins, market structure, AI, quantum computing, Ethereum staking benchmarks, and why institutions are still hiring and building despite the bear market. Chris argues that crypto is not going away — instead, it is becoming the infrastructure layer for 24/7 global finance.
