In a recent episode of “In the Know,” talking about digital wallets, which includes both crypto and DeFi, Wood said within financial services, they are evolving “so much faster than I think anyone could have dreamed.”

“The digital wallet evolution or revolution has gone viral, and there's a social networking element to it, so a very interesting space,” she added.
