In today's episode of Talking Tokens, Jacquelyn sits down with Gregg Bell, Chief Investment Officer at Hashgraph, to discuss what institutional blockchain adoption of Hedera actually looks like and why some of the most important enterprise use cases may be happening outside the crypto headlines.Gregg breaks down how Hedera is being used across industries, why tokenization extends far beyond stocks and securities, and how moving assets onchain can unlock greater mobility, programmability and new forms of collateral. They explore real-world assets, enterprise adoption, supply chains, tokenized real estate, digital identity, interoperability and the infrastructure required to support global financial markets. Also explains why institutional adoption takes longer than retail adoption, how regulatory clarity is changing the risk calculus for enterprises, the role of HBAR within the Hedera ecosystem, and why actual network usage not hype is ultimately the measure of success.Timestamps:00:10 Gregg Bell's journey into crypto01:06 From Bitcoin lending to onchain assets01:53 How blockchain's user base is changing03:06 How enterprises and governments use blockchain04:58 Tokenizing assets beyond securities06:28 When will more assets move onchain?08:01 What institutional adoption actually looks like10:19 Enterprise blockchain happening behind the scenes12:57 Why the first wave of enterprise adoption struggled16:09 Public, private and hybrid blockchain infrastructure17:49 Are institutions finally comfortable with blockchain?18:56 The role of HBAR in Hedera's ecosystem21:11 What financial-grade blockchain infrastructure requires23:05 Who captures the value from tokenization?23:47 Are we entering a new era of financial access?24:28 What success looks like for HederaThis episode is sponsored by Forgd, visit its Market Maker Leaderboard on Token Relations here: www.stratamedia.co/token-relations/leaderboard Today’s episode is sponsored by Anchorage Digital, America's first federally chartered digital asset bank and provider of regulated stablecoin issuance.
