Get started at nexo.com/unchained -- Crypto exchanges are evolving far beyond simple token trading. On this episode of Unchained, Laura Shin speaks with Rob Hadick, General Partner at Dragonfly, and Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, about the rise of the “universal exchange” — platforms where users can trade crypto alongside tokenized stocks, commodities, and other real-world assets. They discuss why exchanges are converging with fintech, how tokenized equities and RWAs could reshape global trading, and why many crypto platforms are trying to become “everything exchanges.” The conversation also explores Bitget’s push into AI tools for trading, the future of altcoins, and how macro forces — including geopolitical conflict and oil prices — are influencing crypto markets. Rob and Gracy also examine how crypto adoption differs between East and West, including why Asia has historically embraced digital finance faster and why tokenized assets may appeal especially to investors who have limited access to traditional financial markets. ‌ #Unchained #CryptoMarkets #Bitcoin #RWAs #AI #CryptoTrading
