In this episode we sit down with Sasha Jacob from Savala, to explore how blockchain technology is transforming the commodity trading landscape. Sasha shares his insights into the critical role of blockchain in promoting transparency and traceability in the supply chain, ensuring sustainable and ethical practices in the sourcing of vital materials like graphite and antimony.
We discuss the challenges facing traditional commodity markets, including inefficiencies and a lack of visibility into sourcing and distribution. Sasha explains how blockchain-powered platforms like Savala are solving these problems by tokenising materials, creating a more efficient, transparent, and sustainable trading ecosystem. With graphite being essential to EV batteries and renewable energy storage, and antimony playing a key role in flame retardants and alloys, the importance of ethical sourcing has never been greater.

Today’s episode dives into a topic at the heart of innovation in energy and finance: renewable energy-powered Bitcoin mining. We’re thrilled to be joined by Dr. Simon Collins, CEO of Stackr, a company leading the charge in redefining Bitcoin mining as a tool for sustainability. Stackr’s mission is simple yet transformative: decarbonise the energy grid and economy by acting as a “buyer of last resort” for stranded or wasted energy. With renewable energy sources like wind and solar often facing challenges like demand-capacity mismatches and curtailment, Stackr steps in to purchase surplus energy that would otherwise go to waste.
In this episode, we’ll unpack how Stackr’s innovative approach addresses one of the biggest challenges of renewable energy adoption—efficiently integrating variable energy sources into the grid. We’ll explore how Bitcoin mining, often criticised for its energy use, can instead play a pivotal role in decarbonisation and grid stability.

In this interview from earlier this year, Raoul Pal, co-founder of Real Vision, shares his journey from traditional finance to becoming a leading advocate for digital assets and tokenisation. Reflecting on the 2008 financial crisis and the systemic risks he observed, Raoul explains his pivot to blockchain and the potential he saw in crypto to provide alternative financial "rails" in an overleveraged world. He explores how the rise of digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum is reshaping global finance, creating a "Crypto Land" economy where users can participate in a decentralised, borderless financial system.
Raoul and the DSG team discuss the challenges facing the US dollar as a global reserve currency and explore how DeFi and tokenisation could revolutionise asset management. The conversation touches on the role of ETFs in bridging traditional finance and digital assets, the potential for crypto assets to offer new yield mechanisms, and the growing appeal of blockchain-based finance to institutions and individuals alike. Raoul also speaks about his work at Exponential Age Asset Management, a venture designed to provide hedge fund-like access to crypto for institutional investors, and his mission with Real Vision to educate and empower people globally to navigate this financial transformation.
The episode closes with a vision of a more democratised financial future, where anyone, regardless of location, can participate in crypto economies and access unprecedented investment opportunities.
