Beyond Bitcoin: How Blockchain Is Moving Mainstream

Blockchain is moving beyond Bitcoin. From tokenizing real-world assets to powering digital identities, it’s reshaping cities, wealth, and business. Nirbhay Handa, CEO of Multipolitan, breaks down key trends from their latest report, crypto-friendly cities, and the risks and opportunities of going on-chain.

Nirbhay gets into:

  • Why blockchain adoption is accelerating beyond Bitcoin and speculation.

  • What makes a true crypto-friendly city, beyond tax perks.

  • How tokenization could unlock trillions in real-world asset value.

  • How Millennials & Gen Z are driving values-based digital investing.

  • Key risks of going on-chain, from cybersecurity to regulatory gaps.
