📺Episode with Emanuele Francioni with DUSK👇. What I found fascinating about this interview is how much I learned about the regulatory environment in Europe and how much DUSK is being integrated into the financial rails--and, how little about it we are hearing in the USA. Because of the focus DUSK has on compliance in Europe, they are not only being invited to a seat at the regulatory table, but they are part of the architecting the design and have a strong voice at the table. I imagine we will hear more from DUSK digital ledger technology as they are integrated into more and more of the financial rails and financial life in Europe. Intro In this conversation, Emanuele Francioni Emanuele Francioni, founder of Dusk, shares his journey into the world of crypto and blockchain, detailing his background in avionics and how it influenced his approach to developing DUSK.
