About No Ordinary Tech Podcast
The way we all manage money and assets is changing fast. From the rise of stablecoins to tokenised deposits, digital assets and new forms of financial infrastructure, how value is stored, moved and trusted is being fundamentally reshaped. To explore what this means for industry leaders, investors and customers, Lloyds Banking Group's COO Ron van Kemenade speaks to leading voices in digital finance - exploring what’s changing, what it means in practice, and how we build trust in this new financial system.
