CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Post-Narrative Institutionalization vs. Regulatory Enforcement

BNY Mellon is approved for crypto custody while the SEC examines Yuga Labs.

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

On today’s episode, NLW covers stories that reflect the two big themes of the 2022 crypto bear market: post-narrative institutional adoption on the one hand, and regulatory enforcement on the other. He covers the news that BNY Mellon has been approved to custody crypto (along with accusations from some in the industry that the approval shows regulatory favoritism for TradFi), Google’s partnership with Coinbase, Grayscale’s first brief in its lawsuit against the SEC and reports that the SEC is looking into Bored Ape Yacht Club creator Yuga Labs. (Grayscale is a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, the parent company of CoinDesk.)

Song Exploder - Book Exploder: Celeste Ng – Little Fires Everywhere

Celeste Ng is an American writer and author of three novels. Her second novel, Little Fires Everywhere, was published in 2017 and became a #1 New York Times bestseller. A television adaptation of the novel, starring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington, premiered in 2020.

Little Fires Everywhere is set in Shaker Heights, Ohio, and centers around two families—the mothers of these families especially. One family is upper-middle class with a “typical” suburban structure: a mom, a dad, and four kids; the other is a single mom, Mia, and her daughter, who are newcomers to the town.

In her conversation with Susan, Celeste discusses a flashback to how a young Mia first became interested in photography as a medium.
