106 - Record Breaking Binance Fine, SEC Crackdowns, and a Crypto Loan Product Review: This Week on Crypto Curious
This week, we delve into some of the most popular stories in the cryptocurrency world. We begin with the startling news of Binance USA facing a record-breaking $4.3 billion fine, the largest in US Treasury history, following the stepping down of its CEO, Changpeng Zhao. We then shift our focus to Kraken, which is under the SEC's scrutiny, accused of operating as an unregistered broker and commingling funds.
In addition to these regulatory dramas, we take a closer look at the anticipation surrounding the Bitcoin spot ETF outlook. With institutional investors pouring over 1.5 billion dollars into crypto funds this year, the stakes are high. We discuss the meetings between major players like Grayscale and Black Rock with the SEC and ponder the future of these investments. Furthermore, we review an Australian crypto lending product by BlockEarner, offering insights into its ease of use and its potential to navigate the current market cycle without selling crypto.
Join us, Tracey, Blake, and Craig, as we dissect these fascinating developments in the world of cryptocurrency.
