| 0:04.8 | Good evening. I'm Stan Higgins, and this is late confirmation from CoinDesk, bringing you the |
| 0:10.1 | top stories from August 27. A blockchain project spearheaded by NEX group is facing questions over its |
| 0:16.7 | future, and one of the biggest airlines in Russia has piloted a blockchain system for collecting |
| 0:22.0 | data on plane refueling. And we'll finish up today's podcast by speaking with Coin Desk |
