    Web3 Travel Is Back: Crypto Payments, Ownership & Fractionalized Stays | Michael Ros (Sleep.io)

    In this episode of Future Value, Robert Wesley sits down with Michael Ros, founder and CEO of Sleep.io, to explore what’s real (and what’s hype) at the intersection of Web3 and travel. They unpack how blockchain can change the travel user journey—from crypto payments and on-chain booking experiences to new models of ownership through NFTs and fractionalization. Michael explains where Web3 actually creates user value (flexibility, portability, transparent ownership), what makes fractionalization hard in practice, and why the next wave is less about “technology” and more about solution-first products—especially as AI and blockchain begin to converge in travel experiences. 00:00 Introduction to Sleep.io and Web3 Travel 05:16 User Flexibility and Ownership in Travel 14:39 Fractionalization of Ownership in Travel 22:32 Undervalued and Overrated Web3 Ideas in Travel
