Is Anonymity Really Dead in Crypto? Concordium CEO Explains

Is anonymity in crypto really coming to an end? In this episode, Alex Richardson sits down with Boris Bohrer-Bilowitzki, CEO of Concordium, to unpack one of the biggest shifts happening in blockchain today—where privacy, identity, and regulation collide. While much of the industry is still focused on hype cycles and memecoins, this conversation goes deeper into what it actually takes for crypto to reach mainstream, real-world adoption. We explore why institutions remain cautious, what’s missing from today’s Layer 1 blockchains, and how new approaches—like identity at the protocol level and zero-knowledge proofs—could reshape the future of digital finance. In this episode, you’ll learn: - Why anonymity may not work for large-scale adoption - The real role of privacy in a regulated world - How identity can unlock institutional use cases- What most blockchains are getting wrong today - Why the next few years could redefine the entire crypto landscape Boris shares a clear perspective: For crypto to move forward, it needs to work within real-world systems—not outside them. This isn’t about removing privacy—it’s about building it the right way. Guest & Links: Concordium: (Twitter):
