Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Crypto 101 podcast. We hope that everyone is having a fantastic day.

No matter where you're coming in from, you're certainly in the right place.

Because today we are joined by Federico Bracotti.

He's the head of U.S. business over at 21 chairs. He previously worked at Black Rock.

Rico, welcome, and it's great to have you.

Thank you for having me. It's a pleasure to be here.

Yeah, I mean, this has to be a really exciting episode. I think no matter what kind of

listener you are, whether you're

deeply ingrained in the crypto space, whether you're newer. The odds are, you know who 21 shares

is. And we got a lot of cool stuff that we want to talk about in today's podcast because we get

to talk all about not only the state of cryptocurrency, but kind of how the world of

crypto is merging with the traditional financial side of things and even get to dive into

what's happening in these Bitcoin ETS, because these have exploded onto the scenes as one of

the most successful ETF launches in history.

And it's cool to get someone like yourself who has experience in both

sides of the industry, because a lot of the time we get people who grew up in crypto or they

grew up in Tradfai, but you're kind of getting the best of both worlds. So I see you almost as an

intermediary of sorts. But I guess before we dive into all of that, you know,

just tell us about what your experience has been working in the space so far. And I guess

what got you involved and kind of interested in crypto in the first place? Yeah, great questions.

And a pleasure to be here with your viewership. You know, I likewise see my role as kind of like this conduit between TradFi and

crypto markets, right? And actually, I think that's the role that 21 shares is playing today.
