Description

There is a real drive on Capitol Hill to figure out how to define and regulate cryptocurrency and protect consumers. One such effort comes from Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) and Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis (WY). They are proposing legislation to clarify the roles of how two different government agencies would divvy up the crypto landscape. Their bill also contains a proposal for regulating crypto mining. But can it pass? And how would it work? Bloomberg reporter Allyson Versprille joins to talk it through.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Crypto is the world's hottest financial trend. Digital tokens like Bitcoin and NFTs have moved from niche products to showing up in Super Bowl commercials and song lyrics.  Advocates of these new asset classes promise they will democratize the finance industry, and they hail the blockchain technology that backs it all as the future of computing. Skeptics say it's another financial house of cards. No newsroom on the planet is better equipped than Bloomberg to cut through all the noise and provide clarity, context and authority. In this new daily podcast, Bloomberg’s reporting team will tease out what’s actually important in the crypto conversation. Led by crypto expert Stacy-Marie Ishmael, the podcast will draw on reporters in every region and credible voices in the industry to cover everything from regulation to alt coins to DeFi, and even the environmental impact of the currency that promises to change the finance landscape indefinitely.
