F1 and Token2049 week has raced past us and while we're glad to see the industry's wildest week in the rearview mirror, we'd be amiss to not share a few insights we learned during this manic period.

We spoke to Kash Razzaghi, New York-based Chief Business Officer at Circle, who discussed business and market trends in Asia and beyond, including cross-border payments and decentralized finance, and the stablecoin issuer's including its recent tie-up with Sony's blockchain unit.

Speaking to Gemini's APAC Lead, Saad Ahmed, we learned how the collapsed crypto exchange pulled a full 180 by returning $2.18 billion to its users following the Genesis bankruptcy. Ahmed shared how Gemini plans to restore its credibility, regrow, and more importantly, which Winklevoss twin would win in a crypto boxing match.

Finally, we caught up with Chiliz CEO, Alex Dreyfus, shed light on the relevancy of fan tokens and how entwined they are with the official football clubs. He discussed how Chiliz is overcoming Web2 scepticism and why they were parading Fabio Cannavaro around Token2049 this year.
