US Democracy And Crypto Crash
Good morning,
Back Story Podcast
This week Donald Trump looked distracted, low energy, and hardly the man energized to retake the White House in 2024 during an announcement in West Palm, that he is beginning the long journey back to the Presidency.
On Back Story we interviewed journalist and TV host Reena Ninan on Trump and the midterms and what’s next in America.
I know Reena well as a colleague in Iraq war coverage and from our time covering the Palestinian conflict in Jerusalem. Reena’s terrific and an easy listen to this week.
Also the ‘Lehman Brothers Crypto moment’ is how one of the founding partners of London Crypto trading firm Nickel Digital called the collapse of FTX trading platform, costing investors billions of dollars and hammering the crypto markets.
Michael Hall joins us on Back Story to explain what happened, and why the Fed has to regulate crypto trading going forward.
Nickel Digital handles institutional investment into Crypto, and Michael is great at making this understandable and calling for a sea change in the way Crypto is brought under normal conditions of regulation to protect investors.
