Welcome to Merge Day

Traditional finance heavyweights are joining forces to launch EDX Markets, a new cryptocurrency exchange for retail and institutional investors. Fidelity Investments, Charles Schwab, and Citadel Securities are among the backers. Santiago Velez, co-founder and division lead of R&D at Block Digital, joins Ash Bennington for today’s Crypto Daily Briefing to talk about TradFi’s endorsement of crypto, South Korea’s arrest warrant for Terra co-founder Do Kwon, and the latest from the SALT Conference in New York City. And we count down the final few hours to Ethereum’s highly anticipated Merge. Today’s feature segment includes a breakdown of Santiago's interview with Tim Beiko, a member of the Ethereum Foundation who worked extensively on the Merge.
