Episode 129: Breaking Payments: Open Banking Evolution

Look out! Plaid is back in taking the wheel once again, but this time for our newest series of Breaking Payments - to discuss "The Open Banking Evolution", led by Ajit Tripathi. We were lucky to figure out the perspectives of Liam Gray (Plaid) and Elena Alicea (Gemini) for a lively conversation on the current and future crypto adoption, accessibility, and impact of crypto apps. Where do payments cause friction and possible drop-offs, and how can they influence more and better adoption and conversion? What is the role of UX in this puzzle? And more importantly, how does the relationship between Plaid and Gemini contributes to improving all the dynamics above? Plus, a treat for our audience - the latest "Global State of Crypto 2022" is available here if you haven't checked it out yet!https://www.gemini.com/gemini-2022-state-of-crypto-global.pdf Connect with our guests:Liam Gray - Growth Account Manager, PlaidLinkedln: https://www.linkedin.com/in/liam-gray-38b75077/plaid.com Elena Alicea - Head of Product - UK/EU, GeminiLinkedln: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elenaalicea/gemini.com This episode was powered by Plaid - Around the world, more people than ever before rely on digital finance for their everyday lives.
