Michelle Makori, Lead Anchor and Editor-in-Chief at Kitco News, interviews Ken Olling, Founder and CEO of MELD, who says that the BRICS bloc has missed a “massive” opportunity at its latest summit by not launching a common currency this year. With six new members invited to join the alliance, Olling foresees a real risk of “fragmentation” in the future. Olling addresses the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s latest message on inflation from the Jackson Hole summit and the theme of de-dollarization. He also breaks down what this means for Crypto, DeFi & Bitcoin and explains how MELD fits into this picture.
