welcome to another episode of The Odd Lots Podcast, I'm Joe Weisenthall.

And unfortunately this week my co-host Tracy Allaway is off so she's not going to be joining us and I swear or she swears that it's not just because we're going to be talking about

cryptocuracies today. She really couldn't make it. But in fact we are doing

another crypto episode and I'm really excited about our guest today a very important player in the industry

Of course over the last several months along with everything else

Everything is going to the moon these days, stocks, gold, bonds, you name it.

Krypto currencies are no exception and it feels like there is certainly the most amount

of enthusiasm that we've seen in crypto price since the the boom in 2017 and still the

questions are remain and there's still plenty of skeptics what's it for where's this all going is this

just another bubble that will burst like last time so we're going to dig into some of

these questions today very excited to bring in our guest, Catherine Coley, she is the CEO of Binance U.S.

A cryptocurrency exchange in the U.S. a wholly owned subsidiary of of finance, which is one of the biggest

cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. Catherine, thank you very much for joining us.

Thank you so much, Joe. Really excited to be on.

So I do remember last time during the last boom, 2017.

We did see the emergence of Binance, which is the company that owns you.

Just what is the structure and relationship of Binance and Binance U.S?

I hate to come out of the gates correcting you on a couple things but I'm going to.

So, okay that's fine, that's fine.
