Is Crypto Quietly Quitting? | Roundup

In this episode, we dive deep into the current state of the crypto, unpacking the phenomenon of "quiet quitting" and the shifting landscape of adoption. We examine the regulatory challenges facing OpenSea and Binance, and shed light on the often-overlooked dominance of Asian crypto markets. The conversation then turns to the concept of "time billionaires" and the true value of our most precious resource. Finally, we address the recent Maker rebrand and discuss the future of DeFi and stablecoins in an increasingly competitive market. Thanks for tuning in!
