About this episode

A digital dollar hearing today in Congress could provide insight into the future of USD.

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io and Bitstamp.

The question of digital currencies is a question of power. On today’s episode, NLW explores that power in multiple dimensions: between states, between states and companies and within states with regard to their citizens.

NLW looks at recent regulatory announcements, including:

  • The SEC leaving crypto off its regulatory priorities list 
  • A House hearing on the digital dollar
