This chapter discusses the socioeconomic and technological aspects of blockchain and its implications when adopted in fintech. In particular, we focus on the enablers of digital trust, which is supporting the mass mobilization of people across geographical and social boundaries at a historically unparalleled speed and extent, bringing them fast into a circle of trust. Drawing on market data, industry cases, anecdotes, and academic frameworks, we analyze the drivers of digital trust in the crypto industry from historic, institutional, market, and sociological perspectives. We support the conclusions drawn with empirical findings generated through a firsthand managerial experience with a leading crypto exchange in Asia.

The European Union and the Return of the Nation State

This book explores the complex and ever-changing relationship between the European Union and its member states. The recent surge in tension in this relationship has been prompted by the actions of some member state governments as they question fundamental EU values and principles and refuse to implement common decisions seemingly on the basis of narrowly defined national interests.
