Unpacking the shift in US crypto policy with Chainlink Co-Founder Sergey Nazarov.
At Chainlink’s SmartCon, Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov discusses how the new political commitment to crypto in the US has removed a major "counterbalancing force," accelerating the industry and legitimizing blockchain for global finance with CoinDesk’s Jennifer Sanasie and Sam Ewen.
