Leo Schwartz is a crypto reporter at Fortune covering focusing on policy and regulation. Leo has prior experience covering technology in Spanish-speaking Latin America, but he recently made his first trip to Brazil to host several crypto panels at Web Summit Rio and meet several of the key players from the local industry. In this episode, we talk about how the conference opened his eyes to Brazil's bustling crypto ecosystem, how Brazil's emerging crypto regulatory framework stacks vis-a-vis others around the world and how Brazilian crown jewel companies like Hashdex and Parfin can compete in the global marketplace.
Leo also authored a great column post-event called "Brazil's unlikely bid to become a global crypto hub" which generated a lot of interest.
