Web4 and the Reinvention of Crypto- Live on Binance Square

Web4 and the Reinvention of Crypto- Live on Binance Square

See you in 25 hours on Binance Square Live.

Twenty governments. One book. And a perspective that sits comfortably in none of the usual camps.

Anndy Lian has spent years inside government rooms, regulator meetings, and closed-door policy sessions, navigating the gap between where crypto is and where institutions think it is.

As an intergovernmental blockchain advisor, investor, and best-selling author, he is one of the few voices in Web3 who moves freely across government, TradFi, AI, and crypto. His newly launched book Web4: The Age of Autonomous Intelligence is his most ambitious work yet, and this episode, he brings that vision to the table.

He didn’t come here for the ideology. He came because the system was rusting.

“Web4 and the Reinvention of Crypto.”

Episode 13 of Inside the Blockchain 100.
