from Brew Markets · host Morning Brew

Episode 90: Today, Ann reviews why this is the year that crypto went mainstream: including a shift in regulations and the entrance of Wall Street firms into crypto-focused ETFs… so why has BTC remained so volatile and how might it affect DAT companies with crypto on their balance sheets?  Then, author Natalie Brunell joins in-studio to discuss why she remains bullish on Bitcoin, arguing that it is a neutral, finite savings technology in a market where inflation is the real villain.  Finally, we look at the major M&A that continues to roll in before the end of the year and which pharma company got the greenlight from the FDA for a weight loss pill.
