This story about Twitter originated, of course, on Twitter: Front-end engineer and source of multiple tech scoops Jane Manchun Wong says the social network/microblog site is working on its own crypto wallet. Marco Olivera and Elaine Ly address the rumor at the top of today’s Real Vision Daily Briefing, the essential question being whether the bird app can be more successful in this sort of venture than was Meta, formerly known as Facebook. Marco and Elaine also talk about Apple codifying its NFT rules, crypto bull Rishi Sunak’s ascension to No. 10 Downing Street, and charges against two Chinese intelligence officials who allegedly tried to bribe a U.S. double agent with Bitcoin. And Kathy Kraninger, the vice-president of regulatory affairs at Solidus Labs and the former director of the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, joins the conversation to talk about the status of crypto legislation ahead of U.S. midterm elections.
