Episode description
Crypto is skyrocketing, ever since Donald Trump won the US election.
Trump is set to lead the most pro-crypto administration ever, promising a crypto advisory council and appointing a prominent pro-crypto hedge fund manager as his pick for Treasury secretary.
His campaign received considerable donations from the crypto industry, who hope he’ll come good on his promise to create a national bitcoin stockpile.
Today, managing editor of The Saturday Paper Emily Barrett on why Trump backs crypto and what it means for the global economy.
