How do the decisions made in Washington DC ripple through the entire crypto industry? Can blockchain rebuild trust in finance—or will outdated policies hold back real innovation?
On this episode of Vivi in the Valley: Crypto for Good Series, Vivi sits down with Jason Brett, former FDIC regulator and one of crypto’s sharpest policy minds. Jason draws from his experience during the 2008 financial crisis and years advising governments, giving us a rare look inside DC’s halls of power at a true turning point for digital assets.

Why real world asset tokenization (RWA) is the next frontier—and where the hype stops
Jason’s inside stories from Capitol Hill, advice for US policymakers, and global trends you need to watch
