Tell us a story from before we can remember Sometimes, the clearest ideas emerge in a simple conversation. I recently spoke with someone about Story Protocol, and their explanation was so striking and elegantly simple that I felt compelled to share their exact words."I think Story Protocol is uniquely positioned because it’s niche focused on creators and intellectual property (IP). Unlike other protocols that don’t fully cater to creators and IP, Story Protocol has a lot more to offer. One of...

A New Dawn for Credit
What if trust, not wealth, was the key to unlocking credit? I want you to think of the economy as a giant machine, a web of interconnected gears powered by transactions, as Ray Dalio describes it. At its heart lies credit; the lifeblood of growth, a mechanism that allows people to spend money they don’t yet have, with the promise of paying it back in the future. Credit has fueled civilizations, building homes, businesses, and dreams. But as Dalio teaches, credit is a double-edged sword. When ...

Beyond Improvement to New Value Creation
I wrote an article titled, *“A company that embraces blockchain will find its operation thriving," she said.I sang hymns * if you can believe it. Me, singing praises to another writer’s opinion. The argument? That if banks can combine blockchain with their already established trust and regulatory frameworks, they will be unstoppable.This brings to mind some compelling examples: **major players like Stripe and Ubisoft have found ways to adopt blockchain without disrupting their traditional pro...

"ALONE IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM, Karen loosened her tie and tossed the company’s quarterly report onto the desk. The old business model, with its rigid processes and outdated systems, soon followed. Blockchain had arrived, quietly at first, but now it was transforming everything. Decentralized ledgers were cutting out middlemen, smart contracts were automating agreements, and tokenized assets were opening doors to new revenue streams. Businesses no longer relied on trust; they relied on code. What was once cumbersome, slow, and opaque was now becoming agile, transparent, and unstoppable".
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how blockchain is shifting the way businesses operate across so many sectors.
I recently read an article that made a pretty strong case for how banks need to get serious about blockchain and crypto. I mean, just accepting crypto isn’t enough anymore. Banks really need to dive into the technology if they want to stay relevant. They’ve got this huge opportunity in front of them. Think about it: in the crypto world, trust is everything, and banks already have that in spades. They’ve built up years of regulatory compliance, and that’s exactly what people are looking for, especially when things get volatile. If banks can combine that trust with blockchain’s potential, they could be unstoppable. They need to attract the growing number of crypto-native clients and rethink their financial products and services.
Then there’s Stripe. I came across this thread on Threadreaderapp, and it got me thinking. Stripe reintroducing crypto payments is a big deal. They’ve made it possible for businesses to accept payments from over 150 countries, all with crypto. That’s next-level international commerce, right? It shows that traditional payment processors are waking up to the fact that crypto is here to stay. They’re not just sitting back; they’re actually adapting their systems to make it happen. This illustrates how blockchain can create new opportunities for global business models and broaden market access — key factors in the transformation of finance. What’s really cool is how Stripe is proving that you don’t have to throw out the old ways to embrace the new. Blockchain can slip right into existing payment systems without causing chaos. Fintech solutions can adapt to include blockchain technology without disrupting traditional processes and open up global opportunities like never before.
I’ve also been diving into how blockchain is shaking things up in gaming. I read that games using NFTs have seen a 200% jump in player retention — crazy, right? It’s showcasing the profound effect of digital ownership on business models and player loyalty.
Ubisoft’s adoption of blockchain tech in AAA games highlights a shift where in-game assets can be traded for real-world value, transforming monetization models and player interaction. That’s huge. The Warlords Mint raked in $8 million in trading volume — so yeah, that proves the potential for gaming companies to explore these new, profitable revenue streams.
And then there’s Crowdmuse. This one’s fascinating because it’s showing how blockchain isn’t just about finance or gaming. It’s changing how creators work, too. Crowdmuse is letting creators, brands, and communities come together to create these digi-physical products — product that exists both online and in the real world. It’s like the best of both worlds, and because everything’s on the blockchain, creators can scale without needing a ton of upfront cash. They’re using pre-order drops and onchain contracts to make sure everyone gets paid through royalties and resales. It’s a game-changer for creators who want to collaborate and innovate without the usual headaches.

Key Transformations in Business Models:
Decentralized Payments: Stripe is pioneering decentralized payment solutions, enabling faster and more secure transactions globally.
Stablecoin Integration: The use of stablecoins mitigates cryptocurrency volatility, offering users more predictable financial transactions.
Cross-Border Efficiency: Blockchain facilitates international payments, reducing intermediary costs and transaction times.
Key Transformations in Business Models:
Play-to-Earn Framework: Ubisoft explores blockchain to create income-generating opportunities for players through NFTs.
True Asset Ownership: Players gain ownership of in-game items as NFTs, allowing them to transfer and sell these assets.
Decentralized Marketplace: Blockchain enables a player-driven economy where users can trade in-game assets directly, eliminating intermediaries.
Key Transformations in Business Models:
Decentralized Creator Economy: Crowdmuse empowers creators to tokenize and monetize their digital assets without intermediaries.
Collaborative Ownership Models: Multiple creators can co-own and monetize assets, fostering collaboration.
Tokenized Value Exchange: Creators can utilize tokens to represent their time and assets, creating new revenue streams.
It’s all starting to come together. Blockchain isn’t just transforming one industry, it’s rewriting the rules across the board. And this is only the beginning.
I hope you have an amazing week ahead, and that you find time to listen to my podcast where I practice public speaking through the Onchain Gospel.
