For the tenth episode of the BlockChain Reaction podcast, I spoke with Holger Arians. He's the CEO of Banxa (OTCPK:BNXAF); which is a crypto business that works with self-custodial wallet applications to provide an on/off ramp platform for on-chain wallet addresses. Banxa has wallet integration with MetaMask, LEDGER and TREZOR among others.

Topics we covered during the podcast include but are not limited to:
- Entering crypto as a BTC miner

With the latest regulatory developments impacting ) as a backdrop, I thought this was a very eye-opening discussion. Arians had a lot to say about how challenging it has been navigating this regulatory climate, even as a pro-regulation company.
