0:00.0 | All right, everyone. Welcome back to another Crypto Daily 3 at 3. So let's dive right in. |
0:06.5 | Our first topic is this Binance KYC hack or leak. And so obviously anytime there's an accusation of a leak or a hack like this, |
0:18.0 | it's super important to really kind of dig in rather than just spread |
0:22.5 | fud. So I wanted to share what seems clear what we know so far, but not try to kind of |
