Is crypto just hype — or is it finally becoming fintech’s next big frontier?
In this episode of Fintech Talks, Laura Gibson-Lamothe is joined by Greg Johnson, Co-founder & CEO of Rubicon Crypto, and Tyler Acree, Fintech Academy-UGA alum and rising fintech professional.

- Why the Genius Act may be the most important finance law in decades
- How stablecoins are quietly revolutionizing payments
- Why Atlanta is globally recognized as a fintech hub (even if we forget it!)
- Advice for students and early-career pros to stand out in the digital finance era
- Real resources to sharpen your crypto fluency
