DeFi Revolution: Stablecoins, Tokenized Assets, and Agentic AI Redraw Financial Landscape

Joseph Chalom, former BlackRock executive and CEO of Sharplink Inc., predicts the intersection of stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets, and artificial intelligence will 'combine' to create a new paradigm in finance.
