This week on Crypto In America, we’re live from Consensus. Jacquelyn spoke with Ji Hun Kim, CEO of the Crypto Council for Innovation, and Larry Wade, Global Head of Crypto Compliance and Regulatory Relations at PayPal. In this conversation, we discuss, why market structure matters, if CLARITY will pass, consumer guardrails, why stablecoins are the killer app, how Paypal uses stable coins for cross-boarder wires, what happens if CLARITY fails, and who will win the next phase of crypto. This episode is sponsored by Sumsub, the platform leading crypto companies use to verify users, fight fraud, and stay compliant at scale. https://sumsub.link/cdtSubscribe to the podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2Y3bQRjEQtdlNx1fxmS8hB?si=813495451b9f4e4e Subscribe to the podcast on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crypto-in-america/id1799000155 Please note that this podcast is for informational purposes only and any views shared by anyone on the show are opinions, not financial advice.
