Canada Once Led the Blockchain Revolution. How It Can Lead Again — with Didier Lavallée of Tetra Digital Group
About this episode
Join Alex Tapscott as he decodes the world of crypto with special guest Didier Lavallée, Founder and CEO of Tetra Digital Group. Listen in as they discuss why Canada - the birthplace of Ethereum - has ceded its lead in crypto and how a Canadian dollar stablecoin could help win it back. Didier explains the launch of CADD, why domestic payments (not just cross-border remittances) are the surprise growth story, and how orchestration infrastructure lets money move across borders without friction. Alex and Didier also dig into the sovereignty stakes behind Canada's financial system - from the Moneris sale to foreign-controlled crypto apps - why a bank-heavy oligopoly makes disruption so hard, and what it means that former Bank of Canada Deputy Governor Carolyn Wilkins has joined Tetra's advisory council.
