Podcast with Rob Krugman, Chief Digital Officer @ Broadridge

Where Humanity Meets Technology Podcast

In this podcast interview, Robert Krugman, Chief Digital Officer and Digital Transformation Expert at Broadridge discusses the future of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, emphasizing the need to distinguish between the two. He highlights how blockchain technology is utilized beyond financial services, such as supply chain systems for auditing and management.

Rob discusses how the technology allows for real-time value exchange in the financial services sector, eliminating lengthy clearing and settlement processes. This real-time transaction capability could revolutionize money sending, especially to regions like Africa, reducing costs and transfer times.

Krugman mentions the emergence of JP Morgan Chase's coin to manage liquidity and the tokenization of mutual funds, facilitating liquidity and global access. He compares the current state of blockchain and cryptocurrencies to the early days of the Internet and cloud computing, noting the ongoing maturation of the technology and the development of new use cases.

Regarding cryptocurrencies, Krugman acknowledges the presence of many insignificant or scam tokens but emphasizes the importance of the top tokens built on robust technologies and protocols. He compares the decentralization trend to the early development stages of the Internet, emphasizing its potential to democratize access to financial markets and increase liquidity. He envisions a future where equities could trade across multiple exchanges simultaneously, reaching a broader investor base.

Krugman also discusses security and regulatory challenges. Both he and I agree that this process is cumbersome worldwide. He believes that the industry is self-regulating and enhancing security measures. Significant improvements will be made over time by using AI and machine learning to detect and prevent fraud. Krugman points out that regulatory approaches vary globally. Europe and the UK adopt a digital asset perspective, which he considers more appropriate due to the diverse use cases of these technologies. He emphasizes the importance of understanding and literacy about these new assets, encouraging informed participation and decision-making in the evolving digital asset ecosystem.

Ultimately, Krugman envisions a future where tokenized assets, decentralized decision-making, and transparent, auditable processes create a powerful new paradigm in finance and beyond.
