This episode hits the full spectrum of blockchain, folks. From the efficacy and need of memecoins to the ever-growing importance of the physical infrastructure layer, Richard Shorten from GlobalStake joined Quile and A-Bomb in a wide-ranging discussion.

Show Takeaways:

• GlobalStake aims to build a decentralized infrastructure for crypto, moving away from reliance on cloud services.
• They are the tech for big, institutional players. Think ETFs - but down to the infra layer with nodes and validators, and that really bespoke approach to creating a network.
• GlobalStake emphasizes the physical layer of infrastructure and finds it is crucial for the long-term success of crypto.
• Shorten notes that decentralization is important, but there are trade-offs between decentralization and performance: “The physical layer matters.”
• Storage solutions are becoming increasingly critical in the blockchain ecosystem.
• Institutions are starting to recognize the value of crypto beyond just Bitcoin. Shorten believes that meme coins play a role in testing and evolving the crypto ecosystem.

In this episode of Trends with Benefits, we’re a bit delayed getting this one out. We recorded back in late September and are just getting it out now. We’re back with another team member from Forgd. We had Shane Molidor, Founder of Forgd, on the show in June 2025, where we dove into some of the mechanics behind tokenization and tokenomics.

As tokenization continues to grow and develop mindshare in the zeitgeist so we decided to do a follow-up episode. This time, we invited Scott Byron, Head of Research at Forgd, to explore the evolving landscape of digital asset treasuries and their implications in the crypto market. Scott shares his journey into the crypto space, discusses the trends shaping the industry, and delves into the mechanics and future of digital asset treasuries.

If you’re interested in LATAM or Brasil, this episode will be a big geek session for you. If you’re unfamiliar, be ready to get a deep dive into why the FinTech industry blew up in Brasil, and how blockchain - via appchain networks like Tanssi - can help foster a new era of digital development in Brasil - and globally.

From country where so much happens on Whatsapp and motorbikes, Thiago emphasizes the need for simplifying the deployment process and supporting products in achieving independence from shared ecosystems. Brasil’s established ecosystem of FinTech companies gives networks like Tanssi a translatable field to push their product. But Brasil is not the end for Tanssi. They have a global footprint where their biggest client is based from London and helps establish their growing ambitions.
