    Post-Narrative Institutionalization vs. Regulatory Enforcement Oct 13, 2022
    Show notes

    This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io, Circle and FTX US.

    On today’s episode, NLW covers stories that reflect the two big themes of the 2022 crypto bear market: post-narrative institutional adoption on the one hand, and regulatory enforcement on the other. He covers the news that BNY Mellon has been approved to custody crypto (along with accusations from some in the industry that the approval shows regulatory favoritism for TradFi), Google’s partnership with Coinbase, Grayscale’s first brief in its lawsuit against the SEC and reports that the SEC is looking into Bored Ape Yacht Club creator Yuga Labs. (Grayscale is a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, the parent company of CoinDesk.)

    On Saturday, a PayPal policy was announced where customers could be fined up to $2,500 for misinformation and other causes, at the sole discretion of the company. The internet’s outrage was quick and loud, and very soon PayPal retracted the policy and said it was published in error.
