BREAKDOWN: JPMorgan Moves Into the Metav...

About this episode

But does this highlight adoption, risk or both? 

This episode is sponsored by Nexo, Arculus, and FTX US. 

On today’s episode, NLW looks at the news that JPMorgan has opened a lounge in Decentraland. Specifically, he explores whether the growing corporate interest in the metaverse is a positive reflection on the accessibility of the metaverse, or if it should also represent a warning to a Web 3 community that is dreaming of an open, permissionless new internet. The episode also looks at two recent bills in Congress, one which would help preserve consumers’ ability to self-custody their digital assets, and one that would draw reserve guidelines around stablecoins.
