| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, happy third week of August. It is time for your weekly rollups, the most exciting |
| 0:13.5 | time of the week. Friday morning, I hope you are ready. David, are you ready to dig into |
| 0:17.4 | the week that was crypto? Absolutely. Like always, there is always |
| 0:21.0 | so much news to talk about and unpack. So much drama happened this week, so much happened |
| 0:25.9 | in the markets and we are going to go through all of it in the Friday, weekly rollup. |
| 0:30.3 | Oh man, I'm excited. David, before we get into it, we should talk about Tracer Dow. There's |
| 0:36.7 | so much going on in the bankless world too. David, we had a hot panel about Dow's earlier |
| 0:41.6 | in the week. The best Dow panel I've ever heard, I think, with our with our panelists. There's |

| 1:34.7 | Dow, get involved. All right, David. Are you ready to get into the markets? Absolutely. Starting |
