The Hogan Lovells National Security Podcast
Technology
We sit down with Adam Zarazinski, CEO of Inca Digital, a leading fintech company specializing in data and analytics for the digital asset ecosystem, to discuss the role of cryptocurrency in national security and intelligence operations.
Adam shares his unique journey from Interpol to the U.S. Air Force JAG Corps to founding Inca. We discuss how Inca helps government agencies and financial institutions manage cryptocurrency risks and ensuring the safety and integrity of digital asset transactions. Adam also describes the innovative ways Inca supports the national security mission, ranging from tackling terrorist financing through open source intelligence (OSINT) gathering on cryptocurrency exchanges, identifying sanctioned Russian banks using crypto, and Inca’s discovery of Chinese-owned crypto mining facilities near U.S. Air Force bases. We also discuss the complexities of international regulatory environments, and the critical need for the United States to foster the development of Web 3.0 and bring more crypto operations onshore to better protect consumers and support law enforcement efforts.
Tune in to hear real-world examples of how Inca is combating illicit activities in the crypto space, such as the role of cryptocurrency in evading sanctions and "pig butchering" scams, where unsuspecting individuals are defrauded of billions annually. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of national security, law, and the rapidly evolving world of digital assets.
