BREAKDOWN: Citadel Is Coming to Crypto

COINDESK
About this episode

A check-in on crypto’s institutional narrative.

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

While much of the recent focus of “The Breakdown” has been on the relationship between crypto and geopolitics, today’s episode revisits the institutional narrative that drove industry adoption in 2020 and 2021. NLW looks at Citadel CEO Ken Griffin’s recent comments on crypto, numerous TradFi execs taking jobs in crypto and a Big Four accounting firm buying NFTs to position itself to help with corporate NFT strategy.
