Episode notes

I think really regulators are in the same boat as venture capitalists that we were trying to talk about earlier. I do think that this is unfortunately a two steps back, one step forward for regulation. There's now the lack of risk associated with embracing crypto as a regulator because you would yet have the evangelist of the crypto community behind supporting your cause.

In this week's episode of 0xResearch, Matt Hougan and Ryan Rasmussen join us to discuss Bitwise's crypto thesis. We explore the expected fallout from FTX, Coinbase's massive market opportunity, Bitwise's investment products, crypto's next big unlock and more! Matt and Ryan share insight after insight in this brilliant episode that will leave you feeling psyched about the future of crypto.
