Gareth Jenkinson

Gareth Jenkinson moderated a fireside conversation at Proof of Talk Paris 2026 as Head of Multimedia at The Block. The publisher’s Starting Block programme page identifies him with that role and lists dated broadcasts throughout September 2026. His personal website and independently maintained journalist listing at Muck Rack also list the affiliation.

The Starting Block is described by its publisher as a weekday live programme covering digital-asset markets, regulation and wider financial developments. Its September episode archive records interviews and discussions about blockchain infrastructure, AI agents, stablecoins and tokenisation. Jenkinson’s personal website documents earlier work at Cointelegraph and a broadcasting background at East Coast Radio and SuperSport. It also identifies The Lumen Podcast, an independent Bitcoin interview programme launched in 2026. At the Paris edition, his moderation centred on distributed-ledger infrastructure for capital markets, in conversation with Jorgen Ouaknine. His work at Cointelegraph included the live interview series Chain Reaction. His published interview catalogue ranges from Bitcoin history with Adam Back to stablecoin infrastructure with Tether’s Paolo Ardoino and blockchain analytics with Nansen. Before focusing on digital assets, he worked in radio and television sports journalism, bringing that broadcast experience to long-form interviews about financial technology.

At Proof of Talk Paris 2026, Gareth Jenkinson moderated the fireside conversation "Building DLT Infrastructure for Next Generation Capital Markets" on 3 June. The session ran from 11:10 to 11:35 on the Hecto Main Stage at the Louvre Palace. The programme also listed Jorgen Ouaknine. In that edition’s roster, Jorgen Ouaknine was billed with Euroclear.
