Consider This from NPR - What a second Biden or Trump presidency could mean for American allies and foes

America is facing two very different futures on the world stage after November.

If former President Trump wins, he's promised to fundamentally re-evaluate the NATO alliance, reshape global trade and overhaul the Pentagon, State Department and intelligence agencies.

He's largely avoided explaining how he'd handle the conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, yet says he can settle the war in Ukraine in 24 hours.

Meanwhile, if President Biden wins, he's signaled his commitment to fight global threats to peace and freedom, and he's vowed to continue to help Ukraine and Israel fight in their respective wars.

Song Exploder - Crowded House – Don’t Dream It’s Over

Crowded House formed in 1985 in Melbourne, Australia. They’ve released eight albums, including their most recent one, Gravity Stairs, which came out last month. But on their very first album, they had a big hit with "Don’t Dream It’s Over."

Crowded House made “Don’t Dream It’s Over” with Grammy-nominated producer Mitchell Froom, who they went on to work with multiple times. For this episode, I talked to frontman Neil Finn about how the song was first written, and how it developed with his bandmates and collaborators in the studio. And we talked about the profound connection people have had with the song over the years.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - UNCHAINED: Why Robinhood, a TradFi Hub, Is Growing Its Crypto Business Globally

Robinhood spent $200 million to acquire Bitstamp and expand its crypto operations to the EU. But it won’t stop there.


Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Castbox, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.

Robinhood has been in the spotlight for its $200 million acquisition of European crypto exchange Bitstamp. The TradFi app’s venture into crypto is paying off: its recent earnings showed that revenue is growing substantially, and the Bitstamp acquisition is just one way the company will grow the pie.

Johann Kerbrat, general manager of Robinhood Crypto, came on the show to discuss the acquisition, Robinhood's plans for expanding its crypto business internationally and into the institutional market, the company's approach to listing crypto assets, how regulation has affected its business decisions, and its efforts to bridge traditional finance and decentralized finance.

Show highlights:

  • How the acquisition of Bitstamp will reshape Robinhood
  • Whether Robinhood could list more coins and whether it’s considering more acquisitions
  • Whether the U.S.’s unclear crypto regulation influenced the decision to acquire Bitstamp and which other jurisdictions, besides the EU, Robinhood Crypto is eyeing
  • Why Johann was disappointed by the Wells notice Robinhood received from the SEC
  • Johann’s U.S. crypto regulation wish list and why Robinhood supports the FIT21 bill
  • Why Robinhood delisted ADA, MATIC, and SOL, and the process for listing or delisting a coin on the platform
  • Johann’s background in crypto and trajectory at Robinhood Crypto
  • How Robinhood is uniquely poised to help bring real-world assets and securities onchain, and how it will handle offerings for institutional investors
  • The impact and importance of the introduction of spot bitcoin ETFs
  • Why Robinhood decided to offer staking, but only for Solana, not Ethereum
  • Whether there’s demand for crypto-native features in the Robinhood platform
  • Robinhood’s collaboration with Arbitrum and whether the company might build their own Layer 2
  • Johann’s take on the memecoin mania and whether Robinhood could list them
  • What Johann thinks about the political fight around crypto in the U.S.
