n this episode of the AllInCrypto Podcast, Rupert Pickering sits down with Richard Brown, CEO of R3, to explore one of the biggest shifts happening in crypto and global finance today: the move from private enterprise blockchains to public blockchain infrastructure.
Richard explains how R3 originally built Corda to solve reconciliation and data-sharing problems inside traditional finance, why that model could only go so far, and why R3 is now pushing toward public chains, tokenized real world assets, institutional DeFi, and Solana.
They break down why RWAs have not yet gone from $10 billion to $1 trillion, why the issue is more about product design than demand, how yield, liquidity, accessibility and DeFi composability matter, and why R3 believes the future of new issuance is increasingly permissionless.
The conversation also covers privacy on-chain, public vs private chains, interoperability, why Solana was chosen, and Richard’s thoughts on CBDCs, stablecoins, and the future of money.
If you want to understand where institutional crypto is really heading, this is a must-watch.
