In this episode of Beyond Bitcoin, hosted by Deryck Graham and Nitin Gaur, special guest Ralf Kubli from Casper Labs discusses creating efficient money and asset markets using blockchain technology. He believes that blockchain is the single most important technology in finance since the introduction of computers in banks in the 1960s and that it brings efficiency, transparency, and observability to financial transactions. The hope is that this technology will lead to more democratization, more efficiency, and lower costs. The goal is to build a capital market that is so efficient and so relevant that it will compete with today's established capital markets locations in the world. Sit back and listen to what the future of blockchain technology can do for the banking and investment industries.

In the latest episode of Beyond Bitcoin, we discuss the grilling of SEC Chairman Gary Gensler by the House Financial Services Committee. Chairman Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) criticized Gensler for the SEC's enforcement actions against 50+ crypto companies, calling the approach "nonsensical" given the lack of clarity in the law. Gensler, however, insisted on the SEC's authority to regulate crypto. In stark contrast, the EU Parliament passed the ground-breaking MiCA Crypto Law, bringing comprehensive regulation to crypto assets across the 27-country bloc. Major crypto firms welcomed the legislation, which establishes Europe as the first continent with such extensive regulation. Lastly, we anticipate Nitin Guar's presentation at Consensus 2023, where the diverse crypto community will gather to discuss challenges, opportunities, and the future of the industry amidst the most tumultuous year in crypto history. Despite the volatility in token prices, innovation in the crypto space continues to thrive.

In this episode of Beyond Bitcoin, hosts Deryck Graham and Nitin Gaur discuss the current state of crypto regulation in the US and compare it to other countries around the world. While Switzerland, UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Australia are developing progressive crypto-relevant regulations, the SEC in the US appears to be taking a different approach. As the SEC engages or notifies US-based central exchanges, payment tokens, security tokens, and tokens deemed to be securities, many are questioning what the US is afraid of when it comes to cryptocurrency. Could it be the impact that DeFi will have on traditional finance or the potential threat to the US dollar as a reserve currency? Deryck and Nitin delve into these complex issues and the potential implications of the SEC's actions on the future of cryptocurrency in the US. Join them as they explore the different approaches taken by countries around the world and the possible consequences of falling behind.
