The Ethics of Insider Trading

Today on The Breakdown, NLW examines SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s testimony yesterday in front of the Senate Banking Committee. He discusses:

• How some allies from the Infrastructure Bill put the screws to Gensler on lack of clarity around securities designation
• How Gensler is trying to redefine stablecoins 
• Warren and Gensler’s dubious understanding of ETH fees 
• The central problem of free markets vs. investor protections 

NLW also covers the Solana outage and the reports of insider trading at OpenSea.
