Why interest rate risk, not crypto troubles, was the source of the problems
Why even banal regulatory disinterest in crypto could create significant problems for the industry
What rules need to change for crypto to fit in a U.S. banking framework

“The Breakdown” is written, produced and narrated by Nathaniel Whittemore aka NLW, with today's editing by Jonas Huck, research by Scott Hill and additional production assistance by Eleanor Pahl.
