Hi Guys, Welcome to the Fintech Coffee Break, I’m your host, Isabelle Castro.

A couple of weeks ago, I shared my coffee break with Simon Grunfeld, Head of Web3 at Cogni. 

Cogni is a digital bank that has, in the past year, made its way into the Web3 space. First releasing a non-custodial wallet last month, they launched a KYC protocol for crypto companies to maintain compliance. 

I spoke to Simon about the importance of self-custody and how it's critical to the crypto space’s ability to move on from the CeFi collapses of last year.
