Kraken's Co-CEO on Building a Bank While Washington Burns

Description

Kraken's parent company Payward has been on a buying spree — $550M for CFTC-regulated Bitnomial and $600M for stablecoin payments firm Reap Technologies — and co-CEO Arjun Sethi joins Bits + Bips to explain what Payward is actually building and where tokenization fits into the plan. Austin, Ram, and Chris also tackle a week's worth of hard regulatory news: the SEC's pause on onchain equity exemptions, the FBI's fake cryptocurrency operation, notable Ethereum Foundation departures, and the Trump ethics and corruption questions now casting a shadow over both the CFTC and the path to crypto legislative clarity. _______________________________________________________ #bitcoin #ethereum #crypto #cryptocurrencies ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Subscribe to our channel!
