Summary

U.S. crypto leaders are heading offshore due to unclear rules and regulatory capture by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This week Coinbase was on tour in the U.K. and also announced a new Bermuda license, through which it will supposedly soon announce a new derivatives offering. NLW recaps the contrast between the increasingly open arms from the rest of the world and the cold aggressive stance of U.S. regulators. “The Breakdown” is written, produced and narrated by Nathaniel Whittemore aka NLW, with editing by Michele Musso and research by Scott Hill. Jared Schwartz is our executive producer and our theme music is “Countdown” by Neon Beach. Music behind our sponsor today is “Foothill Blvd” by Sam Barsh. Image credit: by CoinDesk.

0:00.0	In the wake of one of the most tumultuous years in crypto history, the conversations happening
0:05.6	at Consensus 2030 have never been more timely and important.
0:09.2	This April, CoinDess is bringing together all sides of the crypto, blockchain, and Web3
0:13.1	community to find solutions to crypto's thornyest challenges, and finally deliver on the technology's
0:18.3	transformative potential. Join developers, investors, founders, brands, policy makers, and more in Austin, Texas, April 26th to 28th for Consensus 20203.
0:27.4	Listeners of the breakdown can take 15% off registration with code breakdown.
0:31.9	Register now at consensus.com and join Coinesk at Consensus 2023.
0:46.5	Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, NLW.
0:52.4	It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world.
0:55.9	The breakdown is produced and distributed by CoinDesk.
1:03.5	What's going on, guys? It is Saturday, April 22nd, and that means it's time for the weekly recap. A quick note before we dive in, we are coming to the end of our partnership with CoinDesk.
1:10.1	A few weeks ago, I announced the Breakdown Network.
1:12.6	It's a network of shows all about big picture power shifts that includes not only the
1:17.1	breakdown, but a new Bitcoin Builders show, as well as an AI breakdown. As part of that
1:22.5	change, the breakdown will no longer be a part of the CoinDesk podcast Network. So after tomorrow, April 23rd, Sunday,
1:30.7	you will not be able to get this show on the Coin Desk Podcast Network anymore. Go search the
1:35.7	breakdown or the breakdown NLW wherever you listen to podcasts and switch over to the breakdown-only
1:40.5	feed. Again, tomorrow, Sunday the 23rd is the last day for the breakdown on the
1:45.7	Coin Desk Podcast Network. All right, well, friends, it is Saturday, and as you know, that means
1:51.5	the weekly recap. Now, the weekly recap is an interesting content slot for me. Sometimes it's a
1:57.5	chance for sort of just another show about a topic that I thought was important,
2:01.9	but perhaps not as urgent as something else we needed to cover.
