Crypto Winter Meets Banking Crisis: A Tale of Three Banks 19:42

πριν 2 years19:42

19:42

It’s been another wild week of financial mayhem connected to crypto. But this time the crisis focused on banks. It started earlier this month [March], when Silvergate Capital shut down operations. The California-based bank serviced various crypto companies like Coinbase and Gemini. But its most notorious clients included the now-bankrupt crypto exchange FTX and its sister firm Alameda. As these two giants faltered, Silvergate suffered a series of financial difficulties and fell under intense regulatory scrutiny, leading to its eventual shut down. Then, last Friday, one week ago now, the tech and startup-focused Silicon Valley Bank collapsed. It was the largest bank failure since 2008, and incited investor panic. By late last Sunday, another domino had fallen: New York State regulators announced they were taking possession of Signature Bank . It was moving to retreat from crypto, but was still known for having some ties to the digital asset industry, at one point even launching a crypto-payments platform. This was the third-largest bank failure in the US to date. Bloomberg reported that regulators took action after they “lost faith in management.” This trio of recent closures is another blow to crypto - leaving the industry nearly cut off from the fiat banking sector. All the while a Bitcoin rally ensued , but has since cooled a bit. So. In the aftermath of one of the biggest weeks in finance so far this year, how has the crypto industry fared? And how does it move forward? Bloomberg senior executive editor Chris Nagi joins this episode. Listen to Bloomberg Crypto on the iHeartRadio App , Apple Podcasts or Spotify .

Listen to Bloomberg Crypto on the iHeartRadio App , Apple Podcasts or Spotify . Last year, just before the crypto winter had hit in earnest, Princeton University opened up “The Center for the Decentralization of Power Through Blockchain Technology”. The Center was funded in part by a $20 million gift from prominent Princeton alumni including Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Investment Partners, and Joe Lubin, co-founder of the Ethereum crypto platform. The university says the Center focuses on the software engineering that makes blockchain technology work, finds innovative uses for decentralized systems and considers how it might affect our collective future. One year on, as the crypto winter persists, what’s the Center up to these days? Bloomberg reporter Francesca Maglione joins this episode to discuss the role universities are playing in studying blockchain.

NFT Fans Say 2023 Is Looking Up 25:24

Listen to Bloomberg Crypto on the iHeartRadio App , Apple Podcasts or Spotify . Some might argue that the popularity of NFTs faded as quickly as it rose. NFTs boomed in early 2022 when the crypto mania was at fever pitch. But a steep decline in sales and prices quickly followed, as 2022’s crypto winter set in, and digital asset bankruptcies piled up, culminating with the collapse of FTX late last year. But as we move into 2023, some crypto traders and NFT owners are cautiously optimistic, eyeing a Bitcoin bump despite the last year. Former bond traders Ovie Faruq and Mike Anderson recently sold 72 iconic Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs for around 78 Eth each, which translated to roughly $9.25 million at the time. Bloomberg reporter Abhinav Ramnarayan and Ovie Faruq, Co-founder at Canary Labs, join senior editor Anna Irrera to discuss the ins and outs of trading NFTs.

Job Cuts Reflect Crypto Winter’s Deep Freeze 16:30

The last 12 months or so have been a particularly grueling season for crypto. And as we head into the spring months of 2023, we’re getting a better sense of what the slump in crypto prices has meant for the companies that shape the fledgling industry. One of the biggest consequences digital asset firms are now finding is the need to make job cuts. Since the start of 2023 , more than 15 crypto companies have posted labor force cuts including big names like Galaxy Digital, Genesis Global, and Chainanalysis. Some - like Silvergate Capital and crypto lender Amber Group - have cut as much as 40% of their workforce. While that trend is not universal – Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire spoke with Bloomberg a few weeks ago, and said Circle is actually hiring people –what do these cuts say about the general health of crypto? Bloomberg reporter Hannah Miller joins to discuss the latest in the crypto workforce.

What’s Happening With Crypto in Argentina? 14:48

Argentina is one of the countries with the highest rates of inflation in the world - currently hovering at close to 100%. The nation is also one of the countries with the biggest population of crypto enthusiasts. In this environment, digital currencies can be perceived as a safer bet than the peso. This popular enthusiasm for digital tokens has faced pushback from the country’s central bank. But ever since the crypto winter has stepped up volatility, and exchanges like FTX collapsed, many Argentinians likely feel squeezed: with fewer ‘safe’ places to protect their life savings from inflationary pressures. Bloomberg’s Nacho Olivera Doll reported on a recent study by Buenos Aires-based Wunderman Thompson - it found that nearly two-thirds of the nation’s crypto investors use digital currencies as a way to protect their savings.

What Are the UK and EU Doing About Crypto Regulation? 18:16

πριν 2 years18:16

Over the past few weeks, we've seen US regulators, both federal and state in some cases - take aim at crypto companies with accusations of fraud and unregistered securities offerings. These moves sent shockwaves through the digital asset industry. And the new regulations have also raised concerns about potential over regulation. On the other side of the Atlantic, the UK and EU are taking a different approach. The UK Treasury has recently proposed new rules for crypto-related businesses aimed at stepping up transparency and consumer protection. This, as the planned EU's Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation seeks to provide a clear legal framework for digital assets across all member states. Joining senior editor Philip Lagerkranser to discuss the crypto regulation competition across Europe is Bloomberg reporter Emily Nicolle .

Why The FTX Collapse Shook The Bahamas 17:26

It’s been three months since one of the most influential crypto exchanges collapsed into bankruptcy. FTX’s demise brought with it a wave of financial uncertainty and distress in the crypto industry. But it also had an effect on the small islands where the crypto exchange had established its headquarters: the island nation of the Bahamas . This is not the Caribbean’s first financial crisis. History suggests it won’t be the last. But it is perhaps one of the highest profile losses, and potentially the most damaging. It comes as islands in the region try to diversify away from tourism revenue. The Bahamas had high hopes that an ambitious financial sector would achieve that. But crypto was a big part of that game plan, and now it’s gone. Can the Bahamas fill the gap left in its financial sector? Can the nation still be a hub for digital assets?

Most crypto enthusiasts pride themselves on being tech visionaries. After all, they were among the first to back innovative blockchain technologies and even embrace Web3 and NFTs. Now there’s a new innovation that's captured the public imagination, and it's getting a lot of buzz in the crypto world too. It’s ChatGPT. Late last year , OpenAI's new chatbot sparked a conversation about the future of artificial intelligence. People on the internet were going CRAZY about its ability to craft human-like responses and even ace an exam from Wharton. Ever since, AI-linked crypto tokens have been on a rapid rise. At one point in early February, tokens from decentralized AI companies like SingularityNet and SingularityDAO soared over the span of just a couple of days. But as the fervor grows, so do concerns. And some industry insiders are warning investors against being too bullish. So, what exactly are AI tokens and how can they shape the industry? Bloomberg’s Hannah Miller joins this episode.

The Bank of England and the UK Treasury are moving forward with a plan to launch a digital currency. It’s being called the CBDC, or Central Bank Digital Currency, dubbed (or nicknamed) ' Britcoin .' The action is part of a global effort to stay ahead of various new currency options and prepare for a future in which consumers adopt card payments backed by companies instead of by governments. But, some critics are calling it a "solution in search of a problem", particularly in light of the country's already-strong fintech industry. Senior editor Philip Lagerkranser and reporter Emily Nicolle discuss the implications.
