What is an API? How does it work? What will fintech look like tomorrow?

On the Ledger explores the potential and the challenges of an open financial system with Yanni Giannaros and Iqbal Gandham.

They answer your not-so-stupid questions about the bridges between the crypto-world and your traditional bank – in other words, the future of financial system made easy.
