This week's episode features Randy Smallwood, CEO of Wheaton Precious Metals and Chair of the World Gold Council, in conversation with host Adrian Pocobelli. Smallwood explains how the streaming business is thriving amidst low gold stock prices, as companies are reluctant to issue shares at reduced prices, thus making streamers an appealing alternative. He also adds that funding challenges are compounded by high interest rates. Moreover, Smallwood delves into the World Gold Council's pioneering initiative, Gold 24-7, which aims to introduce a provenance-based gold token on the blockchain. All this and more with host Adrian Pocobelli.
