The Smart Economy Podcast · 2026-08-13 · 1h 4m
In this episode of The Smart Economy Podcast, host Dylan Grabowski is joined by Al Qureshi , CEO and co-founder of Black Lake Digital Markets , a company building blockchain infrastructure for institutional mortgage capital markets. Together, they examine how decades-old financial systems are beginning to adopt blockchain technology, why trust remains one of the biggest challenges in traditional finance, and how Black Lake Digital Markets is working to connect mortgage markets with public blockchain networks through verification, tokenization, and digital infrastructure. Qureshi also reflects on his journey from traditional finance into blockchain, explaining why mortgage servicing rights became the foundation for building new infrastructure rather than simply bringing existing assets on-chain.
