CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Hasta La Vista, U.S.! Crypto Companies Look Abroad

U.S. crypto leaders are heading offshore due to unclear rules and regulatory capture by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This week Coinbase was on tour in the U.K. and also announced a new Bermuda license, through which it will supposedly soon announce a new derivatives offering. NLW recaps the contrast between the increasingly open arms from the rest of the world and the cold aggressive stance of U.S. regulators. 


“The Breakdown” is written, produced and narrated by Nathaniel Whittemore aka NLW, with editing by Michele Musso and research by Scott Hill. Jared Schwartz is our executive producer and our theme music is “Countdown” by Neon Beach. Music behind our sponsor today is “Foothill Blvd” by Sam Barsh. Image credit: by CoinDesk.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Han van Meegeren: Forgery As an Art Form (Encore)

In 1945 after the conclusion of the Second World War, a Dutch man was accused of collaborating with the Nazis and plundering the Netherlands of some of its greatest artistic works. 

During the trial, he came up with a defense that seemed to everyone to be preposterous yet wound up being true.
