About this listen
In this wide-ranging conversation, Yitzy sits down with Dr. Shmuel Abramzon, Israel’s Chief Economist at the Ministry of Finance, to unpack his unique role at the intersection of policy, macroeconomics, and innovation.
They dive into the evolution of digital assets in Israel, what it really means to “regulate” crypto, and the story behind the Ministry’s landmark report on digital asset regulation.
Dr. Abramzon shares insights into the bureaucratic complexity of crafting policy, Israel’s cautious dance with stablecoin regulation, and his thoughts on the prospects of a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
From reflections on his time at RAND Corporation to a philosophical take on decentralization, this episode offers a rare look into how one of Israel’s top economic voices is navigating the future of crypto and fintech.
