Hello, And Not So-Stable Stablecoins

Cryptocurrencies are increasingly popular as investments - everyone from retail traders on Reddit to big institutional shops like Fidelity seems to have a crypto strategy.

Bloomberg reporter Suzanne Woolley joins this episode to talk about the recent history of 401(k) investments in crypto, and why the US Labor Department is less than enthusiastic about the move.

Bitcoin Miners Flock To Texas

Singapore was an early proponent of crypto regulation, attempting to establish itself as a hub for global digital asset companies long before similar pronouncements by countries like the UK. 
 
For a time, it worked. And then 2022 happened, a year of high-profile crypto company failures and market meltdowns. Several of the biggest casualties of the chill of this crypto winter operated out of Singapore. It was a base for Three Arrows Capital, the disgraced crypto hedge fund, and others as well. These high-profile collapses have shone a harsh light on Singapore’s regulatory framework. What’s next for crypto in Singapore? Bloomberg reporters Joanna Ossinger and Suvashree Ghosh join this episode.
