Infrastructure vs. Intermediary Roles on Blockchains

The team had a busy week in New York City attending Ripple's Swell and Chainlink's SmartCon conferences. We sat down with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, Aave founder Stani Kulechov and Ben Jones, co-founder of Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain Optimism.

In today’s episode, we will recap the week’s news including the market turmoil that has wiped out nearly all of crypto’s gains this year and share our on-site interview with Ben Jones. We will also dive into policy with Ava Labs General Counsel Lee Schneider, discussing key priorities for market structure and why the SEC and CFTC will still play a big role in crypto regulation.
