Doug Innocenti walks through his transition from traditional enterprise tech into the evolving world of Web3 and fintech. He discusses how the current technology landscape creates both confusion and opportunity for businesses that want to engage with blockchain or digital assets. Many of these companies are unsure where to begin, or they hesitate due to complexity and risk. Doug explains how MoonPay aims to simplify this by offering accessible infrastructure and services that remove many of the barriers to entry.
Doug also explores the role that strategic partnerships play in reducing friction across the adoption journey.

Throughout the conversation, he underscores the need to balance innovation with education, ensuring that every step forward is understood and intentional.
