Crypto Power, Political Pressure, and Real-World Risk

Description

On this episode of DEX in the City, Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, Vy Le, and Jessi Brooks break down a week where crypto, regulation, and real-world risk collided. They examine the CFTC’s newly formed Innovation Advisory Committee and what its industry-heavy composition signals about future derivatives oversight. They unpack Sam Bankman-Fried’s latest attempt to secure a retrial and how it fits into broader political pressure on regulators. And they discuss the rise in crypto-linked ransom notes, human trafficking payments, and wrench attacks — and what these cases reveal about crypto’s dual role as both a criminal tool and a forensic trail. #DEXintheCity #CryptoPolicy #CFTC #SBF #CryptoCrime
