Talking Tokens: Crypto, Onchain Finance, Investing · Evernorth Has 473 Million XRP And An Argument to Why Idle Capital Should Not Exist | Asheesh Birla · 2 Jul 2026 podcast

I thought it was the right time for capitals to start forming on blockchain and digital asset treasuries, one of the many things I think they're going to do in the future is help bridge traditional capital to on-chain, you know, blockchain.

Capital.

Well, you know, from the start I really thought that this place was you know, in it back in two thousand thirteen I thought maybe three, four years Yeah, it will be good by twenty seven years.

And uh I'll say it's taken a lot longer.

But I think it's moving in a faster pace now than I had envisioned, you know, um back in two thousand thirteen.

And I think a couple of things, number one, financial institutions are now leaning in, which is very different than it was in two thousand thirteen.

I think secondly, like governments are now embracing and that's one thing I got wrong as like I didn't think that you needed all the regulation.

back in two thirteen to make this happen.

But now it's it's quite evident that that's gonna really be a catalyst and accelerant to blockchain adoption.

Yeah, that's right.

So like hey, think about all the things that you and I have to do and and and you know, we were early adopters, but you have to, you know, go out there, you have to secure your Bitcoin and or or crypto or XRP.

And guess what?

Then if you want to do something with it, you have to now trust a smart contract or a online lending protocol.

Like ninety percent of users are not gonna do that.

Or you can just buy, you know, a a digital asset treasury uh like Evernote.

And and they'll do all that for you.

So that's where we get to like the exciting part is like, okay, now putting this to work.

on behalf of the customers and institutions uh and removing that friction and creating something on chain is really exciting to me.

Yeah, that's a that's an excellent question.

And uh you know, hey, I I fell into this mistake early on as well.
