nostr:npub1uzfp6cgwue2njm86cmyeq7m26y0n58w72acq98sjsnnv4c87002s6857h3 can speak more to this. I know he's on the boards of a bunch of crypto projects and know folks from those who have spoken with him and he's still very fiat minded, just open to future possibilities in crypto and doesn't see the space as haram.
