In Crypto Winter the Serious People Are Still Here and Laser Focused
A recap discussion of Consensus 2023. Regulation and policy appear to be the 'battle of the crypto age' in the fintech industry.
ABOUT
This episode is sponsored by EY.
On this episode of “Money Reimagined,” Michael Casey and Sheila Warren have a summation of, as Sheila calls it a ‘Consensus Hootenanny’; Consensus 2023. Through its Consensus 2023 app, Coindesk surveyed its attendees about their opinions on the state of crypto. Casey and Warren go right to the heart of most attendees' concerns about regulation and policy for crypto and the implications for the SEC.
