CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: India Heading Toward Crypto Legalization?

The annual budget presentation to Parliament discussed a 30% tax on crypto profits. 

This episode is sponsored by Nexo, Arculus and FTX US.

One of the key themes for 2022 is the relationship between governments and the crypto industry. On today’s show, NLW looks at the latest from India, one of the countries with the highest degree of speculation on whether banning or regulation is the path forward. The regulatory and legalization path got a big boost earlier this week during the finance minister’s annual presentation of the budget to Parliament. NLW also covers Russia’s seeming path to regulatory integration of crypto, as well.

Short Wave - Should Big Oil Pick Up The Climate Change Bill?

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals is deciding whether a Baltimore case against more than a dozen oil and gas companies will be heard in state or federal court. The city argues the companies are liable for the local costs of climate change. It wants the case heard in state court, which is governed by robust consumer protection laws. But industry lawyers are fighting hard to have it and more than 20 other similar lawsuits nationwide tried in federal court, where the oil and gas industry may be more likely to prevail.

NPR climate correspondent Rebecca Hersher, brings an update on the case, which went before the U.S. Supreme court last year. She explains how this pending decision may prove key to determining who pays for climate change.
