Host Bam Azizi sits down with Henry Stern, co-founder of Privy, to unpack one of crypto’s biggest adoption problems: onboarding that still feels far too hard for everyday users. They explore why the assumption that users should “want crypto” is flawed, and how embedded wallets, seamless authentication, and invisible blockchain rails are changing the way products get built.

From Henry’s founder journey and the lessons behind building Privy, the conversation expands into where the market is heading now — stablecoins driving real usage, enterprises entering with practical use cases, regulatory momentum around the GENIUS Act, and what changed after Privy became part of Stripe. They also dive into the future of digital asset accounts, agentic wallets, AI-driven security, and the bigger question facing the industry: should crypto stay visible to users, or disappear completely into the background?
