Host Stephen Sargeant welcomes Patrick O’Kain, partner at Borderless Capital, to discuss cybersecurity, crypto investigations, blockchain analytics, and how AI-driven agentic commerce and stablecoins will reshape payments and finance. O’Kane explains Borderless Capital’s infrastructure-focused investing, his background in counter-terrorism finance and DOJ crypto investigations, and why blockchain security is increasingly treated as a national security priority as institutions move markets onto blockchain rails. They cover dual-use investing and navigating government procurement, the shift from retail “mass adoption” to institutional and autonomous transaction flows, and why trust, data, and real operational maturity create moats as AI lowers barriers to building products. O’Kane highlights Cloudburst Technologies’ threat intelligence approach combining off-chain and on-chain data, discusses stablecoin growth and tokenization composability, and flags post-quantum security and “harvest now, decrypt later” risks.
