CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Crypto’s Institutional Narrative – Less Dead Than It Seems?

BlackRock partners with Coinbase as Fairfax County pensions get into yield farming. 

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io, Chainalysis and FTX US. 

One would be forgiven for thinking the crypto institutional narrative is dead. Tesla sold bitcoin. Cboe took a huge write-down on the exchange it bought last year. Even Cathie Wood and ARK sold $COIN!

But taking a deeper look, NLW argues that institutional adoption of bitcoin and crypto continues – just in quieter ways than in the past. He looks at news that BlackRock is partnering with Coinbase to offer crypto trading through its Aladdin platform and that Fairfax County Retirement Systems is expanding its crypto involvement to yield farming.

The Gist - Disagreeing On De-policing

Policing in America has no easy answers, but my guest Rafael A. Mangual suggests we aren’t even asking the right questions. He’s of the opinion that many beliefs critical of police are misplaced, while other real reforms go un pursued. His book is Criminal (In)Justice: What The Push For Decarceration And Depolicing Gets Wrong And Who It Hurts Most. Plus, charging the cops who really were responsible for the death of Breonna Taylor. And the Kansas abortion vote doesn’t mean everything has changed for November, but it does mean the Republicans face an issue that really puts them at odds with voters.

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara

Subscribe today for access to all premium episodes! www.patreon.com/chapotraphouse Matt discusses the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a rebel state that existed in China from 1851-1864. The rebellion was organized around the landless Hakka people by Hong Xiuquan who, after failing his bureaucratic entrance exams, had a nervous breakdown that led him to believe he was the brother of Jesus Christ. Matt tracks the rise and fall of the kingdom, and how it fits in other proto-socialist movements, and the resonances with the Mormon history he laid out on the last two episodes of the Inebriated Past.
