Is Money the Next Geopolitical Battlefield? How digital currencies are weaponizing financial infrastructure.

In this episode of Unconventional Knowledge, GIS founder Prince Michael of Liechtenstein speaks with Dante Disparte, an entrepreneur and expert in digital monetary systems, about the rise of stablecoins, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and other projects.

The discussion looks at the difference between models, the role of blockchain networks in pure digital currencies and combinations, enabling faster and cheaper payments. The implications for monetary policy, financial sovereignty and traditional systems are addressed. Mr Desparte also examines how they are reshaping cross-border payments, the geopolitical stakes behind competing currency systems and the link to commerce and investment.

Is money itself becoming the next arena of global competition, and what does that mean for consumers, businesses and the future of financial power?
