Summary
This week in crypto, Trump’s new DeFi project sparked debate—is it legit or a grift? After the SEC, the CFTC targeted Uniswap—what’s going on with regulators?
Brazil’s Twitter ban also made waves—what does it mean for free speech and crypto’s role in resisting censorship?
Markets are asking if the 4-year cycle is dead, and Ryan has three takes on the lackluster crypto prices and what it could mean moving forward.
On the bright side, Polymarket is now on the Bloomberg terminal, and Coinbase is looking to bank the robots—an exciting step for AI and crypto.
