Join co-hosts Alan Rechtschaffen and Kellee Wicker for a wrap-up of 2024 and a brief review of what's ahead in 2025, in an episode recorded just before the close of 2024. Hear more about our take on the renewed focus on monetary and fiscal policy implications of crypto in the new administration, which is putting up pro-crypto picks for key roles, and why we think this is the year we'll see wider adoption of blockchain for faster and more innovative financial technology.

Join our co-hosts for a conversation with Chris Giancarlo, former chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission and reported candidate for "crypto czar" in the incoming Trump administration. Giancarlo, known as Crypto Dad after his plea to Congress in support of cryptocurrencies, shares a vision for using cryptocurrencies as anchors for the US dollar, drawing parallels to historical gold or oil standards. He also speculates as to what we could see from the new administration on establishing policy and a clearer regulatory environment for crypto and outlines potential reforms integrating digital assets into the fiat currency system. Tune in now to hear about the role of digital assets in maintaining the dollar's dominance in the global economy, and how an incoming crypto-friendly Congress has already shifted where companies plan to do business.
