The Fed's Foot on the Dominoes
The Fed stepped in to stop the dominoes from falling and to protect depositors./nThe Fed's goal is to make sure all depositors are made whole, but they cannot provide a system wide guarantee.
Ram Ahluwalia, CEO of Lumida Wealth Management, joins us to discuss everything that's happened in the past five days post-SVB collapse. Ram has his finger on the pulse on all things finance (crypto included), the U.S. Banking System, and The Federal Reserve.
Was USDC ever at risk? Is crypto being targeted? Could DeFi have fixed this? Answers to these questions and much more in the episode.
