About this episode

The SEC is showing all of its cards. Gary Gensler doesn't want the crypto industry to exist at all. After yesterday's Binance suit, the SEC is going after Coinbase too.

We brought on Coinbases's Legal Officer, Paul Grewal to hear how Coinbase plans to fight, how you, Bankless listener, can join the fight, and what's next for the crypto industry. Should we be optimistic?
