Open Conversations: Finance as a Tool for Regeneration (Monty Bryant)

A conversation with Monty Merlin Bryant, founder of ReFi DAO. Monty explores how finance—one of humanity’s most powerful coordination tools—can be redesigned to restore ecosystems, strengthen communities, and shift towards a regenerative economy. He breaks down the evolution of regenerative finance, its deep roots in regenerative economics, and how Web3 is accelerating the transition through innovations like bioregional finance, ecological currencies, and digital measurement tools.
