Neobanks Already Won - Traditional Banks Just Don't Know It with Joe Wilson, bunq

Are banks really evolving — or are fintechs simply forcing them to catch up? In this episode of Money Rewired, Joe Wilson, Chief Evangelist at bunq, joins Murat Prokopov, Strategic Partnerships Executive at Coinspaid, to explore how one of Europe’s most recognizable neobanks thinks about modern banking, digital nomads, crypto integration, AI, user obsession, and the future of financial products. As banking becomes more digital, more global, and more shaped by software, traditional institutions can no longer rely on legacy trust, branch networks, and outdated operating models alone. Users expect speed, flexibility, and financial tools that work as naturally as the rest of their digital lives. Rather than asking whether neobanks can compete with traditional banks, this episode explores a more important question: is the future of banking still being built by banks — or by product companies that happen to offer banking?   About Money Rewired Money Rewired is a podcast by CoinsPaid Media about the real mechanics behind financial change. We speak with the people building the future of finance — from banks and neobanks to crypto infrastructure providers, operators, and leaders working across payments, compliance, product, and regulation. The show covers banking, crypto, AI, stablecoins, payments, digital asset infrastructure, regulation, and the systems shaping how finance actually works.  Website: https://coinspaidmedia.com/

Raiffeisen Bank Integrating Crypto: Strategy or Survival with Vid Hribar

Are banks really adopting crypto — or are they being forced to catch up? In this episode of Money Rewired, Vid Hribar from Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) joins Murat Prokopov, Strategic Partnerships Executive at Coinspaid, to explore how one of Europe’s biggest banking groups is thinking about crypto regulation, digital asset custody, stablecoins, MiCA, tokenization, and institutional DeFi. As MiCA regulation reshapes the European crypto market, banks can no longer treat digital assets as a side topic. Clients are asking questions, infrastructure decisions are becoming urgent, and crypto is increasingly moving from experimentation to board-level strategy. This conversation looks at how banks actually approach crypto internally: from skepticism and compliance concerns to custody infrastructure, euro stablecoins, partnerships, and long-term competitive pressure. Rather than asking whether crypto belongs in banking, this episode explores a more important question: is integrating crypto now a growth strategy — or a survival strategy?   About Money Rewired Money Rewired is a podcast by CoinsPaid Media about the real mechanics behind financial change.

Trust, Stablecoins & MiCA in Europe with Erald Ghoos (OKX)

Is trust in crypto actually returning, or are users simply navigating it better?

With MiCA now live, stablecoins under regulatory scrutiny, and institutional custody reshaped after FTX, this conversation focuses on how crypto functions as infrastructure, not as a narrative.

Hackers Need 6 Days. Compliance Needs Months — Crypto Risk with Lex Fisun (Global Ledger)

Crypto crime is mostly a speed problem. In the first episode of Money Rewired, we speak with Lex Fisun, Co-Founder and CEO of Global Ledger, about what actually happens after crypto is stolen — how quickly it moves, how it gets laundered, and why compliance teams are usually reacting after the damage is done. Lex works with payment providers, exchanges, regulators, and law enforcement on real investigations. Instead of talking in abstracts, this conversation focuses on practical reality: how regulators see crypto today, where regulation clashes with technical limits, and how risk shows up for teams building and running crypto products. This episode is for founders, operators, and product teams working with crypto payments, wallets, or on-chain infrastructure — especially those building outside large enterprises.   About Money Rewired Produced by CoinsPaid Media, Money Rewired is a fintech-first podcast for the builders behind crypto products.
