By what means do we think about identity? A substantial amount of regulation and policy work that is happening in crypto right now is about how and when one will need to classify a transaction or exchange and to what extent pre-existing rules apply in the Web3 space.

On this “Best of” episode of “Money Reimagined,” recorded in September at Converge22 by Circle,  Michael Casey and Sheila Warren are together to discuss the challenges of identity and verification in the U.S. and in other countries with Daniel Buchner, head of decentralized identity at  Block; and Chi Nnadi,  the co-founder and chief executive officer at Mara.
