From TradFi to Internet Finance: A New Era of Global Capital | Felipe Montealegre

Felipe Montealegre, co-founder of Thea Capital, joins us to unpack a new vision for global finance—what he calls the Internet Financial System.


Felipe makes the case that today's financial world still runs on siloed, permissioned databases—slow, expensive, and riddled with gatekeepers. But blockchains and smart contracts offer something radically different: a unified, open system where capital can move efficiently across borders and property rights are stronger than ever.


This episode is a must-listen for anyone wondering how crypto is building the financial infrastructure of the 21st century.
