Join us on "Blockchain Leaders Insights," where we unravel the complex yet captivating world of blockchain and cryptocurrency regulation. We sit down with the Gerry Cross, Director of Financial Regulation Policy and Risk at the Central Bank of Ireland. Alongside our hosts, Lory Kehoe and Pearse Ryan, we dissect the critical role of regulation in the evolving landscape of digital finance.

Gerry shares his journey from international roles back to the heart of Ireland's financial rebuild. We explore the Central Bank's multifaceted mandate, including its drive for innovation through an upcoming regulatory sandbox and its dedication to consumer protection in the fintech arena.

We discuss the digital euro, reflecting on the political, societal, and economic implications of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). The conversation also touches on the ground-breaking Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MECA), and how it's shaping the industry's future.
