Return of the “Ugly Baby” // Fintech

Episode 5: Crypto Facto with Josh and Jonathan

In this episode, Josh and Jonathan weigh in on the SEC’s charges against Bittrex, Gary Gensler’s House hearings, the reintroduction of a federal stablecoin bill, MiCA’s passage, Yuga Lab’s trademark victory, and Taylor Swift’s good sense about FTX.

Did Gensler change his mind about proof of work and Algo, or is the SEC throwing tokens at the wall until a case against Coinbase sticks? Why wouldn’t Gensler tell the House if Ether is a security or not? Does the very same stablecoin bill that was dubbed an “ugly baby” last September have any chance at succeeding now? Will the EU’s passing of MiCA lure crypto business away from the US and UK? In the absence of federal legislation in the US, will the courts become the real regulators of digital assets? Listen to Josh and Jonathan’s hot takes now.
