In the latest episode of the We Are Innovation Podcast, host Tania Rak sat down with Eugenia Kenny, Senior Associate at the Bitcoin Policy Institute in Washington, D.C., to explore what it really takes to bring Bitcoin policy from Latin America to the Hill. Eugenia’s journey into the world of Bitcoin is rooted in a background in Political Science and International Studies, a Master’s in Innovation and Technology, and a deep personal connection to her Argentine heritage, where firsthand exposure to financial instability gave her a lens on monetary freedom that few in Washington carry.
Together, Tania and Eugenia pull back the curtain on life inside the Bitcoin Policy Institute. From coordinating research initiatives and events to making complex Bitcoin concepts accessible to the policymakers who need to understand them most. They also dive into the explosive growth of Bitcoin and stablecoin adoption across Latin America, and the lessons the U.S. and Europe have to learn from it.
