    Why Privacy is the Next Big Thing in Crypto – Midnight CEO Eran Barak Explains

    In this episode, I sit down with Eran Barak, the CEO of Midnight, a groundbreaking new privacy-focused blockchain incubated by IOHK (Input Output, the team behind Cardano). Eran has an incredible background—before diving into Web3, he built the financial world’s digital plumbing at Symphony, a secure communications platform used by thousands of banks and institutions. Now, he’s bringing privacy and selective disclosure to blockchain, solving one of the biggest hurdles in getting businesses to adopt the technology. We dive deep into: Why privacy isn’t just a buzzword, but a necessity for blockchain to go mainstream The problem with public blockchains and how metadata leaks can be dangerous How Midnight is using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to protect data while keeping it usable The rise of AI and why your private data is the next target for machine learning models Why traditional finance players are still struggling to adopt Web3—and what needs to change If you’re interested in the intersection of AI, privacy, and blockchain, this is an episode that will blow your mind and show you where the industry is really headed. Key Takeaways: ✅ Blockchain can’t go mainstream without solving privacy, but regulators still resist full anonymity. ✅ The Midnight blockchain introduces a dual-token system to balance compliance and privacy. ✅ Zero-knowledge proofs allow selective disclosure, meaning your data remains private while still proving facts about it. ✅ AI is the next frontier—your personal data is already public, but blockchain can help protect what’s left. ✅ Traditional finance still relies on outdated infrastructure, but Web3 can offer a better, more secure alternative.

We dive deep into the evolution of tokenization, why the first wave fell short, and how the next iteration can unlock real value. Arthur also shares insights on Tezos’ latest upgrades, the growing demand for privacy in crypto, and an unexpected but fascinating use case—tokenizing uranium.

Key Takeaways: ✅ The first wave of tokenization failed due to misaligned expectations—crypto traders weren’t looking for stable, bond-like investments.✅ Stablecoins became the ultimate “real-world asset” because they’re not an investment but a convenience, especially in regions with weak local currencies.✅ Tezos continues to evolve with fast block times, liquid proof-of-stake, and a strong developer community.✅ Tokenizing commodities like uranium opens up new financial markets that were previously inaccessible to retail investors.✅ Privacy remains a core value in crypto, but regulatory pressure is making it harder to implement.
