Sitting at the helm of a financial operations division for a tier-one gaming enterprise requires a dual consciousness where one must simultaneously understand the rigid laws of legacy banking and the anarchic potential of decentralized finance.

This transition was not driven merely by the convenience of the user but by a fundamental restructuring of how digital value flows through the internet.
