ABOUT
This episode is sponsored by Near.
Legislative steps we're taught in civics class are only a small part of what it takes for a bill to become a law. The process of strategy negotiations and long-term thinking for future industries is complex. In addition to balancing huge agendas, lawmakers and their teams have to navigate a complex regulatory environment, all while paying attention to polling data. According to a recent study by the Crypto Council for Innovation, those who own crypto will vote for candidates who support crypto.
"Money Reimagined" hosts Michael Casey and Sheila Warren speak with Alex Sternhell, founder of Sternhell Group, and Brett Quick, head of government affairs for North America at the Crypto Council, to discuss the importance of crypto in this legislative season and the upcoming midterm elections.
