Are NFTs Down for the Count? Oct 05, 2022

Show notes

You've seen the reports: Mainstream media have declared non-fungible tokens dead and have buried them forever. Yes, prices are way down from the peak. Yes, enthusiasm has waned. But is this the end of the story? Will NFTs fade into oblivion? Or is this just a floor from which NFTs will thrive again? Could it be about dominant players taking greater shares of the cake, i.e. the bigger projects cannibalizing the smaller? So many questions, and who better to answer them than Chris Maddern, the co-founder and CEO of Floor, an app that tracks NFTs. Chris joins Real Vision's Paul Guerra and Elaine Ly LIVE today for a Crypto Daily Briefing NFT bonanza. Chris, Paul, and Elaine talk about the top stories in the NFT space – Japan’s ambitious investment plans, Veefriends’ expansion into physical toys, and Improbable's $100 million funding round – and then take a step back to assess the big picture. We also have an update on TradFi giant Fidelity and its plans for an Ethereum index fund.

USDC, Smaller Issuers, and Systemic Risk Oct 04, 2022

Show notes

When there’s talk of the risks stablecoins represent to the global financial system, Tether is usually the subject. And the largest stablecoin by market capitalization continues to generate questions about the reserves that support its U.S. dollar peg. However, according to a new report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, even USDC, a stablecoin backed by higher-grade assets (based on self-declarations), could, too, represent a systemic risk. At the top of today’s edition of Real Vision Crypto Daily Briefing, Marco Olivera and Ash Bennington talk about why the New York Fed honed in on USDC. Ash and Marco also discuss a new report from the interagency Financial Stability Oversight Council that includes recommendations to the U.S. Congress on crypto regulation. And Morgan Creek Digital Managing Partner Mark Yusko joins our hosts for a broad and deep survey of the relationship between macro and crypto.

Top Crypto Firms See Leadership Changes Sep 28, 2022

Show notes

We’ve seen changings of the guard at two of the most recognizable crypto companies in the past 24 hours. Alex Mashinsky, the CEO of bankrupt crypto lender Celsius Network, stepped down with immediate effect after he became, in his words, "an increasing distraction." And FTX US President Brett Harrison announced his resignation and transition to an advisory role. Santiago Velez, co-founder and R&D Division Lead at Block Digital, joins Ash Bennington for this edition of Real Vision Crypto Daily Briefing to discuss the implications of these personnel changes in the midst of crypto winter. Also on today’s agenda: a report that FTX is eyeing Celsius's assets, the IMF's warning about problems with proof-of-stake, and Fed Chair Jerome Powell's cautious words about DeFi regulation. And Santiago and Ash go deep into Santiago's interview with Sergey Gorbunov, co-founder and CEO of Axelar, about cross-chain interoperability.
