Frederik Gregaard, CEO of the Cardano Foundation, sits down with David Sencil at Paris Blockchain Week 2026 for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with one big idea: using Satoshis as a gas fee natively on Cardano — so Bitcoin holders get programmable DeFi without leaving BTC.

From there it goes deep — quantum resilience, AI agent identity at BMW and Lufthansa, the $400 trillion TradFi identity standard now anchored on chain, Grant Thornton auditing the Foundation's books on Cardano (Bitcoin holdings included), and why Abu Dhabi is the only regulator green-lighting cryptographic privacy.

We cover:

- Satoshis as gas: programmable DeFi on Bitcoin via Cardano

- Quantum, Q-day, and why UTXO-based chains score high

- AI agent identity at BMW, Lufthansa, and 400+ enterprise clients via SocoSumi

- Legal Entity Identifiers: the $400T TradFi standard now anchored on chain

- Hannover Re reinsurance — $100M minimum → $50K on the London Stock Exchange

- Grant Thornton's on-chain architecture audit of the Cardano Foundation's books

- Midnight, BLS signatures, GDPR-compliant on-chain finance, and the ADGM exception
