There's a touch of electricity in the crypto world this week, so Trace & Craig are joined by Blake (dialing in from Lisbon) to get amongst it. The crew hit the ground running as they unpack the approval of Ethereum ETF making big news this week (plus a sound bite from John O'Loghen of Coinbase); they'll also uncover the resilience of Bitcoin amidst the biggest worldwide IT outage that caused mass 'blue screening' due to a faulty CrowdStrike. In addition, they'll dissect the massive $230 million hack of the WazirX exchange and the ensuing blame game that has captivated the crypto community. To cap off, a round table chat around the role of Ethereum mixer Tornado Cash in ensuring crypto privacy and the controversies that surround its use.

Join us as we navigate through these groundbreaking events shaping the future of digital assets.
