Unlocking $700 trillion through Crypto with John Wu of Ava Labs

Since John Wu’s first appearance on the podcast, Avalanche Protocol, alongside Avalanche Labs, has snowballed into a multi-billion dollar network. But this is only the beginning with Wu’s goal to unlock hundreds of trillions of illiquid assets trapped in financial systems. He envisions not only to put the world into second gear but at the same time, improve the lives of those who haven’t been given a fair chance financially. For once the individual can become financially empowered, and not be at the beck and call of governments or powerful corporations.
