Episode notes

The Bankless Friday weekly roll-up where we cover the entire weekly news in crypto. This week, PayPal launched a stablecoin on Etherum and Coinbase announced they would be taking it mainstream. Polygon and ZK Sync are throwing some punches back and forth over Twitter. There's been some wallet UX breakthroughs I feel like recently which is making me pretty bullish. Is Joe Biden a Bitcoiner? What? Words I never thought I'd see.
