Description

This week on the podcast, we’ve attempted to unpack the spectacular downfall of one of the biggest crypto exchanges and how it has possibly changed the sector forever. A month ago, if someone would have told us that crypto exchange FTX was potentially mismanaging customer funds, funneling money into its sister trading firm Alameda Research, and would soon weigh on the crypto industry, we wouldn't have believed them.
As more details about its general finances emerge, we're starting to better understand how FTX and its former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried might have managed to change the industry forever. How much of a mess was FTX in? How did nobody notice? And how will this shape the future of crypto? Bloomberg reporters Katie Greifeld and Vildana Hajric ask Bloomberg opinion columnist Matt Levine for the long view.

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.
