Unblocking The Chain

Hosted by Michael Prendiville and Drew Bradford, Unblocking the Chain explores the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets. Supported by JellyC and Macropod. In this episode, the hosts unpack a pivotal moment for crypto—combining insights from the Miami conference with a sharp analysis of Australia’s latest federal budget. They explore the growing institutional momentum behind tokenisation, stablecoins, and real-world asset adoption, while also addressing mounting risks in DeFi following recent hacks and a necessary repricing of yields. A major focus is the Australian budget’s impact on innovation, particularly proposed capital gains tax changes that could reshape the startup and crypto landscape. Despite regulatory headwinds, there are signs of progress, including movement toward tokenised financial infrastructure and payments reform. The episode closes with a broader industry outlook: capital is flowing, regulation is evolving, and crypto is shifting from speculation toward real-world utility.
