    Ep. 172 The Hidden Layer Powering Crypto, KYC, Fraud, and the Future of Onboarding

    Crypto is entering a new phase, one where growth alone is no longer enough. Platforms are being forced to balance speed with security, and compliance is becoming a core part of the infrastructure that allows the industry to scale. In this episode, we sit down with Christian Nunez from Sumsub to break down what’s really happening behind the scenes. From onboarding and identity verification to fraud prevention and AI-driven attacks, we explore how exchanges and Web3 platforms are adapting to a more complex and higher-risk environment. We also dive into the shift away from “growth at all costs,” why 74% of firms now prioritize verification accuracy, and what this means for the future of crypto adoption, regulation, and institutional involvement. This is a look at the layer most people never see, but one that will define how big crypto can actually become.
