Description

Rishi Sunak, one of the most senior people in the UK government, this year announced he wanted to establish the country as a global hub for crypto . He’s got some catching up to do: the competition between countries trying to attract crypto talent is only getting more intense. But this environment, in which politicians seem to be willing to make major concessions to the crypto industry, gives rise to an important question: who’s standing up for consumer protections? Bloomberg reporter Will Shaw joins this episode to share more about the regulatory landscape for consumer protection in the UK.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.
