July 17: Why Blockchain Could Fix Elections
from Daily Crypto News
Traditional finance continues embracing crypto as Morgan Stanley's E*TRADE launches Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana trading for eligible retail clients, Citadel Securities invests $400 million in Crypto.com, and Visa unveils a new stablecoin platform designed for banks and fintech companies. Matt explains why competition to control digital dollar infrastructure is accelerating as more traditional financial firms enter the stablecoin market. The episode also covers Europe's growing list of MiCA-licensed crypto firms, Malaysia's investigation into a crypto-related network state project, Taiwan sentencing the operator behind the BitShine exchange to 22 years in prison, and a UK crypto fraud ring that impersonated police officers to steal more than £4 million. Matt wraps up with JPMorgan's improving outlook for Bitcoin, concerns over rising oil prices, and why he believes blockchain technology could eventually provide a more transparent and auditable election system. Happy Hodling, Everyone.
